I wanted her to make some sign, some indication that she's not done stepping out of line.
I like to think that she's not done, but she needs time to digest all this and really apply her powers of thinking. These sorts of things are really, truly new to her. She's been programmed to speak a billion languages and probably to execute every bedroom trick in the history of the universe - but critical knowledge of gender roles and feminism? I very much doubt she was programmed to have that. She'll have to figure it out for herself, and that is a video I really want to see.
Oh, and the bit where she's a sexbot, but she's got body modesty really made me role my eyes hard. Holy whore/madonna complex, batman. Even if that's just there to make it so they can pass ratings or whatever, it tells a whole story about attitudes to sex and bodies and women as people.
Oh, yes. I get really caught up in what I'm watching and it's very hard to kick me out of a story, but that moment was weird. There must have been another way to pass ratings besides making her immediately "know" that she should cover herself. And it's... five times as weird to think they probably programmed her to "know", like a real human, that there are situations in which nudity is appropriate and situations in which she should "feel" ashamed of it.
