That’s another thing Star-Trek didn’t predict – how incredibly creepy (some) robots would be.

It’s like iRobot as imagined by David Lynch. Almost supernaturally creepy… and I’m sure this isn’t deliberate… and I still can’t quite put my finger on what the psychological origins of this creepiness is. I mean the Alien off Alien was made up of about 5 well-known human phobias rolled into one… but this? Don’t know. There’s something clingy and parasitic about it. Weird.
