A daily dose of sci-fi - Day 8

Best robot/android

I had quite a long short list on the go for this one -- R2-D2, Kryten, WALL-E, the Terminator, Maria, and more -- but then I suddenly remembered...


Marvin is probably the best character in Hitchhiker's. As Wikipedia puts it, he "is afflicted with severe depression and boredom", which makes all of his very dry comments hilariously funny. It also makes him feel very identifiable, despite the fact he's a robot who's much more intelligent than you.

Bless 'im.
