...is done sitting BUCK naked for all the world to see. That takes chops, guts and skill. I never knew she had it in her. Kudos galore for Newton!! She gives new meaning and dignity to nudity on the screen.

The level of her acting in this episode was off the charts. I was SO impressed and totally entertained by her. Weren't you?

The viewer is confused as how to regard her....as a mannequin or a real (enough) being with feelings and desires. Should we regard her as a sexual being or just a stuffed doll with circuits inside? These are questions being posed by the writers as the series unfolds.

AI can be creepy. We have seen this before as in A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)(Blue Fairy..how creepy was that?) But this still feels fresh and well executed...so far.

This series is a goldmine for actors to explore themselves and their own untapped talents. I think we are seeing this with Newton. I am very impressed so far!

I don't think nudity is a big a deal now as it was years ago.

Thandie has always been a great actress.

She's been fantastic so far, and I'm hoping to see her continue to deliver at this level or above.

Um,seriously? She's done some of her best acting ever with her clothes on--check her out in FOR COLORED GIRLS as a disturbed writer, which I think is one of her best roles to date,and GOOD DEEDS where she plays a homeless single mom. She usually takes daring, gutsy, challenging roles, which is why she stands out as an actress to me, and is now one of my faves. (Haven't seen Westworld yet,though.)
