An improvement over Episode 5.

Great ending that made sense and was foreshadowed from the start of the episode since Clone David was created to be exactly like Real David.

Yay! I would even say that this is one of the better AMSs episodes in existence.

I was actually watching it with someone who has never seen an AMSs episode, and I warned him beforehand about lowering his expectations. Imagine the sharp, yet rather pleasant, sensation of my ass being bitten by my words! The narrative was coherent, the premise was lived up to, and the twist was damned good.

I should've known that the involvement of Victor Garber would bring good things 🎉

The ending is very predictable. We know OG David will not be happy with AI David in the long run because nothing is ever good enough for him.

It would be much more interesting if this episode ends with “good night, John” - proving that John is an AI.

Gave me "Twilight Zone" vibes-- always a good thing.

I was kind of interested in this since with every turn, I could imagine an interesting story that might have taken place.

The robot kills the guy and chops him up: somebody sees/records the disposal of the body and when the man gets out of the hospital he is wanted for murder. (too much like the other story)

The guy and robot go out for drinks and when they try to leave some people harass/rob them and the robot dispatches them.

The guy falls in love with the robot and refuses to deactivate him and replaces the real guy with the robot.

The sick guy is tired of his young lover and replaces him with a robot look-a-like that will love him no matter how old he gets.

I never really guessed the ending because I didn't believe that the sick guy would end up being as healthy as he was.

I never really understood what that half body was, a robot or clone parts. I am not sure how the title "Clone" fit into the story. A look-a-like, a biological clone, or something else altogether.
