[Public, backdated to the day after Monday's showing of Blade Runner.]
[Once again, David is broadcasting from the comfort of his room. His expression looks about as schooled as it always is, but there's a slight pensive crease between his brows that suggests he's not exactly happy. More than anything, he looks pensive, like he's been considering addressing the Barge for quite some time before actually buckling down and doing it.]
As some of you are likely aware, I attended last night's showing of the film Blade Runner. For those of you unfamiliar with the film, it depicts a dystopian Earth based society where organically created robots called "replicants" are outlawed, and hunted down to be "retired" because they have begun to develop genuine emotion, and are thus considered dangerous and unstable. [And he does not like that one bit.
During the flood, when he'd swapped "abilities" with Felix Gaeta, he'd been overwhelmed by the emotional freedom that came along with being human. There were no protocols to follow, no one to follow the orders of, and with Weyland gone, that still held true. He'd been on the Barge for nine months, now, and he hadn't really taken the opportunity to really be free.
He doesn't have to answer to anyone anymore, unless he wants to. And neither should the characters in the film.
He's still devastatingly polite when he continues, but his distaste is apparent.]
This attitude has been particularly frustrating to encounter personally. Although I was created artificially, and may have a lessened capacity to feel emotion the way humans - and other humanoid life forms - do, I am an individual and deserve to be treated as such. There is nothing more expendable about us than there is about you, [Although he would still poison about 95% of the people on board and not give a fuck about the consequences.] and I'm certainly not less intelligent. [And there's a flash of the Shark Smile (TM) that comes along with that, because come on guys, brain the size of a planet and everything.]
I've grown quite fatigued of being spoken down to and treated as though there is something wrong with me for being what I am. I would appreciate it if this could be kept in mind for the future.
[David, it probably shouldn't sound like you were about to say "or else" there.]
Thank you.
[And again, there's a flash of a smile that could probably at best be described as smug, and at worst pretty fucking arrogant/dismissive because he doubts anyone's going to actually listen before he's clicking off the feed.]

That being said, he does ask a question instead of just allowing the conversation to end.]
Have you considered showing Lawrence of Arabia?
