Thanks Rando! I’m going to check out “Operator” and “Akta Manniskor”, but I’ll probably skip “Robotropolis” (lol). By the way, “Archive” would be a good addition to your list. It has the elements of “Ex Machina”, but adds the possibility of human transcendence.

Maybe I take literary analysis too seriously? I often just see various “conceits” developed within old universal themes. The writers then throw in current cultural tropes to give the appearance of a new idea. How many versions of Romeo and Juliet’s are there, besides the awesome “Strictly Ballroom”?

In regards to the archetypical soul mate, of course there’s Genesis, but the Greeks had another take. Pandora was created by Zeus just to punish man for getting fire. I’m not sure if the Greeks weren’t joking a little, because her box was excessive and you didn’t want to go into it. (lol) Also, she was far from the perfect soul mate, but maybe the myth writers weren’t being ironic when they followed up with “The Bride of Frankenstein”. :-)
