in the episode  Insane In The Mainframe the judge sentences Bender and Fry to the hall of criminally insane robots then are the robots who think they are human and lunch room workers they are not criminally insane

Just because Frankie's not in the asylum because he thinks he's a lunchroom worker, he's in there because his lunchroom worker-related delusions apparently caused him to commit some form of a crime.

i dont think unit 2013 commited a crime because it thinks he is a human

[Reply #3 on:]

No one said he was in there because he thinks he's human, just that he thinks he's human. He could have a whole lot of other things wrong as well.

o.k but he specifically said that the problem is with robot lincoln is that he has multiple personalities

The fact of the matter is the mental asylum is for robots doing things they arn't designed to do. Programming errors if you will but far more complex

They may have all been criminly insane.

Here is a dumb but funny thought. What if he tried groping some women because he thought he was human. They threw him in the asylum for being a sexual predator of some sort.lol I am just saying there are unknown variables of why the robots in that asylum were criminally insane. Maybe I am not making sense, its late, I am going to bed.

Wow there's a thread for everything on this board. Can't say it surprises me after posting here for ten years...

evil lincoln...that was a st:tos ref right? heh

[Reply #9 on:]

No, evil lincoln is real.  You're thinking of robot lincoln, who was born in 200 log cabins.

[Reply #10 on:]

Or Linclone, Lincoln's clone. He lives in Canada.

To each their own.
B5 and BSG have their strengths and weaknesses.
I think BSG - at least the recent "re-imagining" of it, starring Eddie James Olmos - was stronger in dramatics and characters. B5 was more 'scientifically accurate'. Hey, whaddaya expect from a show with Harlan Ellison as science consultant?

Didn't mean to post here.

Edit: To be on topic.

Roberto isn't criminally insane?

this is true, so why would you even need an asylum for robots? All you need to do is reprogram them, and you're having troubles, buy a new one for 20 bucks.
well, its 30 bucks and theres a 10 dollar mail-in rebate.

Oh come on! CRIMINALLY insane just sounds so much better than regular, ol' Insane. It's like saying "underpants" in lieu of "underwear"—it just adds a certain je na se quoix" (may not be spelled right)
