    South Korea - first case of Robot Suicide?

    It's like machines can't even think for themselves nowadays. Back in my day robots were happy to steal any job from a human! I think it all began when we gave them a "sleep" mode. That's probably when they started to dream.

    Spoilers TV Shows with Great Endings

    Blackadder: definitely. All the more amazing because, apparently, it was a spur of the moment we-have-to-come-up-with-an-ending thing. Due South ended pretty well. Burn Notice too, although it could have ended on season sooner.
