The best part of Prototype was the way the Android learned.  He'd see
someone else carrying his books more comfortably, and adjust his.  Or
when the professor took his salad (he didn't eat) to make it look like
the android had eaten, the android took his fork and placed it in the
empty bowl.  Very little things, but they had immense impact.  You
could feel the android's attempts to understand the confusing world
of humans, especially with so little help from the cold professor.
I'd really like to see this as a series, except I doubt they could keep
the quality up.  Lack of ideas may have also killed Questor.



**************** SPOILER WARNING **************************************















I almost expected that the android faked his death, to throw off pursuit.
It would have been an eerie scene, at the very last, to show the burning
garage, and the people watching it, and then pull far back to a nearby
rise, and show the Android (Michael?) watching them.

Free at last.
