    Just recently started my second viewing of TOS, and I was surprised how well the writing held up.

    Tap for spoiler

    There’s one episode where a guy builds an artificial human, and his wife is like “Did you have sex with it?” And he responds “Robots can’t feel love.” “Did you have sex with the robot?” “They only follow commands, it could no more love than a toaster!” and everyone just kind of stares at him for a beat before moving on and you can tell from that moment on everyone knows he built a sex bot.

      I had to look up the exact exchange, because this line always makes me laugh too. Her tone, lol

      KORBY: You think I could love a machine?

      CHAPEL: Did you?
