Do you think Dr Korby was having sex with Andrea?

[thegoldfish]

Personally I do, why else would he build her to be so pretty? And even if it was just coincidence at first there's no way he'd be able to resist no matter how loyal he felt to Nurse Chapel.

 

[JNG]

Yeah...he had 'droids to move heavy objects and such already...I think a quick look makes it clear what she was built for. This subtext is played with pretty effectively in the episode.

 

[Jack Bauer]

If he wasn't I'd question his heterosexuality...

 

[Jeri]

Yes, I think Korby was having sex with Andrea. When Kirk tried to kiss her, Andrea resisted and complained she was "not programmed for you," inferring she was programmed for somebody else. Ruk? Brownie? Not likely, IMO.

I'm amazed the question even needs to be asked. It's kind of like asking, "Do you think Harry Mudd was swindling people?"

Besides, he built her himself, no doubt to his own specifications (since she doesn't look much like Ruk). No coincidence involved -- her purpose is crystal-clear.

 

[kissthestar]

Andrea says she was built to love him. He was an android too, though. Hm. This is strange.

 

[trekkiebaggio]

Blatantly. I know I would if I was him.

 

[Jeri]

Thanks for the spelling correction, Christopher.

 

[Jack Bauer]

Hell, I'd make two Andreas for a threesome.

 

[Wingsley]

Nah, Ruk told Korby he deserved a different kind of thing... thing... thing...

 

[cooleddie74]

Hell, I'D do Andrea. Even if she had Frankenstein bolts coming out of her neck and light bulbs for eyes.

 

[Therin of Andor]

He was an android too, though.

Not always, though.

 

[Ronald Held]

I did not think that there was much doubt about it.

 

[Captain Dago]

Does a bear sh*t in the woods?

 

[Kagan]

(since she doesn't look much like Ruk)

She doesn't?

I've always wondered about Andrea's backstory. Who did Korby model her after? She doesn't look much like his fiance' Christine either!

 

[Jack Bauer]

Well, he was either doing Andrea or he got off while using the penis rock...ouch!

 

[Shatmandu]

Yes, I think Korby was having sex with Andrea. When Kirk tried to kiss her, Andrea resisted and complained she was "not programmed for you," inferring she was programmed for somebody else.

In the first draft of the script it is noted that Korby, when rebuilding his own robot body, gave himself a penis 13-inches long and as big around as a Coke can.

That adds a bit of weight to her line. It'd be like Kirk was throwing a pickle down a hallway.

[Jeri]

Wow, there really are advantages to investing in those old scripts.

 

[FalTorPan]

If Andrea weren't flipping Korby's switch, then there was much more wrong with Korby than him no longer being human.

 

[T'Bonz]

I was around 13 when I first watched that ep, and naive as I was back then, even I realized what Andrea's "purpose" was.
