10 Awesome Cyborgs in TV History
It's time for my companion article to 10 Awesome Cyborgs in Movie History. This article will be the 5th article in my ongoing series featuring robots, cyborgs, and sentient computers. In the first three articles, 14 Awesome Movie Robots Youve Forgotten,15 More Movie Robots Youve Probably Forgotten, and 12 Awesome Robots From TV History, we dealt only with robots. With my first cyborg article, we obviously moved on to cyborgs. For each of the articles above, I set up a few laws to restrict the size of the articles. Known as Tims Laws, these rules are adjusted for each article. Tims First Law states that only cyborgs can be used, meaning pure robots are excluded. Tims Second Law states that only cyborgs with a significant role in a television show are allowed. Movie cyborgs will not be tolerated nor will background characters. Tims Third Law states that a cyborg is defined as a living being whose powers are enhanced by computer implants or mechanical body parts (from the World English Dictionary). That leaves out guys with prosthetic legs or pacemakers. That also leaves out constructs like The Terminator, which are robots surrounded by living tissue. Tims Fourth Law states that no kid shows, animated shows, anime, puppets, or anything else of that ilk is allowed in this article. Thats it. Lets get started. Here are 10 great cyborgs, in no particular order, from television history.
