Wait, so who was the gay one?
Surprisingly good.
Personally, I can't wait for Sex Robots.
So this is, in fact, a dude?
So offbeat-gorgeous for so many years...
*A* Thing, not *the* Thing.
Parents, please pre-watch this before you show it to your young children.
Revolvers with suppressors.
Kind of prescient...
"Unironically Robotic".

You don't appear to have been paying attention these last few years...
I've always thought so. He's had his moments, but on the whole definitely over-hyped.
I believe that was the general idea.
Well, it's a story, so you can spin just about any way you want, but I'd be willing to bet the writers had it in mind that Blair was already a Thing when he was hauled off to the shed.

I'm inclined to posit that creates like this, while they may cooperate with each other to a general degree (repeatedly inciting confusion and conflict like the Palmer-Thing, for example) so long as the playing field is open, would not be above screwing each other over if they found themselves in a "him-or-me" situation. Such creatures seem unlikely to form, or to be a component of, a gestalt.
I submit it that Blair was already A Thing before he was placed in the shed. He had already ransacked the vehicles for spare parts; he wanted uninterrupted isolation to build his little flying saucer, so he faked psychosis.
But, men really are all evil and sexist....
Yes. This show was full of Lycra-skinned lovelies.
Probably something to do with the "patients who have been damaged".
One of the trailers basically spills the whole thing.
