And I kind of agree with the comparisons of it to Star Trek or lots of other titles that have human/unhuman relationships. It's hardly new ground.
I dunno about other folks, but the reason it's such a buzzkill for me (aside from being totally creepy), is that it makes it so that's what Don's all about. His main personality quirk is his love of machines, science and knowledge in general. Now that's second as his crush on April is what new watchers will identify him with first and foremost, which pretty much ruins his entire image and turns into some drooling fanboy nerd.
