Interesting indeed! While he has gone rogue, ASCII seems to have kept some human characteristics.

The pet cybercat is the most noticable one, of course, but I cannot help to wonder why he is watching the screen with his own eyes rather than to plug his electronic brain directly to the camera.

Liza's very obvious approach is also worthy of comment, and most probably hides something clever.

My first reaction on seeing the cyberpet is that he's modelling himslef on the old James Bond villians.

ASCII has always, from some reason, struck me as a somewhat theatrical character, and since being excessively theatrical seems part and parcel of villianous behaviour shown so far, taking the act to the level of watching on the screen is then just being throughly in character.

Well, there are certain advantages to having youself free of this screen - perchance to perform other tasks (or even to view other screens)... just a thought.

Now that makes a buck's worth of sense. Remember, in his accounts of his past lives, he recalled being a dancer, an artist, and a prostitue: thus he seems the sensitive type; but also he was a fireman, indicating a passionate core. Another thing to remember: At the end all and be all, he was programmed by Rick. (Or, rather, Rick six years before UH1, and thus Rick 26 years before UH2), who is much more than likely to have built a robot with latent desires, both a malevolent mastermind and a total drama queen.

It's more than I've done; I tried to build a very similair robot, and all it does is commentary on red carpet fashion.

...And I screwed up. That's what I get for tryin' to quote two people at once. Just wanted to be the first to point that out: I said that Sylvain said what Nitwit said and Nitwit said what I said Sylvain said. You see what I say I said they said they didn't say but they did say what the other said except that's what they said not what the other said?

c'est fin. or finit. or just dun.

C'est fin = "It's clever", c'est finit = "It's over". Interestingly enough, both are perfectly appropriate here...

Nice use of cliche, Allan. I imagine that the upcoming fight will be completely one-sided, but I'm not sure who has the advantage.
