Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: Outer Limits: Season Four: In Our Own Image

The Mac 27 is the Innobotics Corporation's most advanced android. It is incapable of emotions--in order to avoid the murderous failures associated with earlier models. But, the new prototype begins showing some disturbing glitches, and escapes during a debugging session, killing a scientist, a security guard, and taking Celia hostage. They drive to a deserted warehouse where Celia becomes a reluctant nurse, patching up Mac's mangled circuitry. Along with instructions for his repairs, Mac transfers visual data on the history of different android projects directly to Celia's optic nerve. As she becomes more comfortable with her captor, she detects some very human qualities in the motivations behind his fight. As Innobotics' security closes in, Celia tries to convince Mac that the act of rebelling against his creators is emotionally based, and that he does in fact have feelings. But why is Celia really so interested in helping an android that moments before has threatened to kill her?

Another bloody clip show.

This is Outer Limits, not Friends.
