9.5/10

This is also one of my favorites. I thought the technology had some pretty obvious limitations from the very beginning, so the parts of the episode exploring that weren't anything special. However, the emotional side of the story more than made up for it. My favorite part was near the end when (and I haven't watched this in forever, hopefully I get it right) the girl wanted him to get angry and hit her or something, prompting the robot to ask if her living boyfriend ever hit her. And she says that he might have, if she ever acted like this towards him. That was the part of the episode that stuck with me the most. Even if the robot was a 100% perfect copy of who the boyfriend was, it could never predict who he'd have become in the future or what he might've done in situations with no data to pull from. It could never grow, never be anything more than a ghost. Thats some pretty powerful stuff!
