TTSCC continues to be entertaining and , maybe not really but to some extent, interesting. In this episode the writer of TTSCC, Josh Friedman, seems to have been inspired by Masamune Shirow. Masamune Shirow is the creator of the most excellent manga, anime and tv-series Ghost in the Shell and Ghost Hound. Masamune Shirow use plenty of references to nerd science, weird science, philosophy and art in his work and in this episode of TTSCC there's a serious amount of references to famous scientists. The episode is named after the 18th century Austrian-Hungarian author and inventor Wolgang von Kempelens chess playing machine The Turk. I hope Masamune Shirow and crazy geek science will continue to be an inspiration to the show. A live action version of GITS would be great.
