The Pool
The notion that Vicki's skin isn't watertight is kind of lame, especially when
it's implied that she's gone to beaches and pools without one spark of a problem
(no pun intended). It's still doubtful even a bad leak could knock her out of
commission this badly (See Vicki On Dunahue).
Though Vicki is superficially anatomically precise enough to pass the cursory eye
of a nurse, the doctor's stupidity in swallowing Ted's explanation of X-rays and
strange internal sounds from her examination goes beyond silly.
This episode missed, along with an artificial respiration education plug, an
offbeat potential resurrection theme of some kind, like the Lawsons
"reviving" Vicki themselves and leaving Harriet with a mystical
reverence toward Vicki. Such games you can play with robot/android themes.
