There’s nothing quite like being a loner….and living as a machine, your companions
computer games, your friends mad scientists, your team-mates mutant products of same….to make a guy behave a little awkwardly and be intensely susceptible
to ANY attention from a person of the opposition sex.
Yeah, I did that on purpose. Wheee. That boy is pumpin’ fluids right about now. He’s got inner waves like Malibu. I know the feeling. It’s like Buck Fever in hunting.
Outsider life plus loner mindset plus cerebral cybernetics plus a single touch from the first girl you liked in a decade equals a biological blue screen of death. They may have to reboot Nick. Or possibly just have U.N.I.T.Y. boot Nick.
No, that’s just his obsession. People who are that self-obsessed tend to have a poor self image, and very little self love. The more they try to convince themselves and others that they really are a great person, the less they believe it. Hence the obsession.
Awgiedawgie, you’re totally right. I was carried away by an old grad school joke. Psychiatrists only make about twice what psychologists do (about 200K vs 100K, average; varies by specialty & location)…But the underlying argument still stands.
BTW…Is Skin Horse paying anyone right now?
Wonder what effect it had on Dr. Lee?
It’s a safe bet that it made her blush.
Aw, but we didn’t see that!
Made her blush dont you mean make her brush?

Boot/Reboot… not really that much of a difference.
Looks like Nick’s luggage finally caught up with him. He’s wearing the “Airwolf” shirt he-in-the-drone wore during the WhimseyWorld sojourn.
Maybe he misplaced it when they got back to Annex One from Whimsy, and he just now found it. Which means it probably needs washing very badly.
I hope that this turns out to be a mechanical effect of whatever Dr. Lee installed in Nick’s brain.

I thought Tip found true love every time he looked in a mirror.
No, that’s just his obsession. People who are that self-obsessed tend to have a poor self image, and very little self love. The more they try to convince themselves and others that they really are a great person, the less they believe it. Hence the obsession.
I don’t think Tip is self-aware enough to realize that.
He’s not self-aware. That’s the problem. It all happens subconsciously.
Tip’s rather well-adjusted for a psychologist.
You have to be a little crazy to want to be a psychiatrist. 🙂
There’s a big difference between psychologists and psychiatrists…about $500,000 a year.
Ergo, psychologists are crazier.
Where in the world do psychiatrists make $500k? I want to get a degree and move there.

Most likely Manhattan or Hollywood, and most likely you don’t want to.
Too true… I would not want to live in either Manhattan or Hollywood. And I certainly wouldn’t want to pry into the minds of anyone who does.
Nick didn’t say whether Dr. Lee touched the hair on his head, or elsewhere. Might make a difference….
