US government intelligence agency develops a (female) android, Alpha One, as an assassin; the android develops a conscience and escapes rather than complete training in murder. Note references to I. Asimov and dialog and images (surprisingly subversive for commercial TV) getting us to sympathize with the android and against the government of the United States. See also in this Category the "Night Shade" episode of 13 Dec. 1990 and note that The Flash was resurrected in 2014 by Berlanti Productions, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television.[2]
