it was deeply disturbing. Not at all a happy ending. For sevral reasons. The fact that humans had died out(maybe not too disturbing), the fact that his 'mother' could be brought back to life but only for a day. That was distubing(althought the comments regarding space/time were very interesting but not gone into) and also because all this efffort was for a Robot. Why? So anyway Tyler, you say you thought it was very good. So I guess then you know what it was about? Fancy telling those of us who didn't get it?
