Sure. Even that bit where MB says, "Stop looking at me." I don't think
it ever said that, although it certainly wanted to. If that took place
before the Preservation team found out it was rogue, then that
certainly wouldn't have happened, as SecUnits didn't say things like
that.

More likely it's after. Regardless, I don't think that happened. BUT,
there's no way anyone (except maybe Gurathin) and I am guessing that
was supposed to be Overse, would have responded like that. They were
falling all over themselves to be solicitous and respectful of MB's
feelings. Usually to its dismay.

There will little things that bug fans. The "older model" was nothing
ever mentioned. Pretty much all SecUnits are identical. You have to
move to a different class, like Combat SecUnits to see any differences.
And there was nothing about them selecting their SecUnit. The Company
assigned them one. Preservation didn't want one at all.

I saw it elsewhere that the entire first season is going to be "All
Systems Red".  Lots of stretching and new events might be required to
make that happen.

Yeah, I'm sure. It's kind of the opposite of the usual, where a movie
isn't long enough to really do justice to a book. I remember the first
season of Dexter, which was based on the first novel. They had to add a
bunch of stuff to pad it out. And with All Systems Red, they are
working with a novella. I don't know how many episodes are planned.
