In the last episode of Caprica, I really love the scene with the engineer and Zoey Graystone.
For those who have not seen the show yet, Zoey Graystone, the girl in the video, is trapped in a robotic body thanks to an experiment done by her father. In the previous episode, Zoey Graystone was in tears as she described to her best friend Lacy Rand, what it is like to be trap in a large heavy robotic body. She tells her friend how painful it was to hear her mother describe her as a monster, and she even questions Lacy’s acceptance of her new identity.
Now we have this scene, where one of the engineers of the Cylon (robot) is making adjustments to her robotic body.
This engineer sees beauty in Cylons, and is comfortable with them, perhaps even more so than real human beings. He is completely unaware of the beautiful woman inside, and is naturally himself and relaxed. They form a connection with each other when he fires up the music and they both break out in dance. There’s a lot going on in this scene and it was very well done.
Some people like robots–or they just see beauty in everything.
There is hidden beauty inside all of us.
We are our bests when we’re free to be ourselves. When we’re comfortable in our on metallic skin that weighs a tonne. Or when we’re a crazy engineer who likes to dance with robots.
