How did we get here?

all roads lead to road dude. and when in road do as the rodents do.

It's fun when the robot character in the sci-fi show gets cut in half because nobody working on this type of media knows anything about robotics and you never know what you're going to find inside. Green printed circuit boards? Meat and viscera, but like in a weird colour? Just a shitload of goo?

I especially like it when the robot appears to have realistic musculature which operates via contraction, suggesting some sort of fluid-driven or shape-memory-based actuation, and then it gets dismembered and a bunch of random gears and sprockets go flying everywhere.

Combining creative freedom with a tenuous grasp on a subject matter does tend to leave a memorable impression, especially when it doesn't make sense!
