I am going to assume you are talking about really good AI and not the actual person's consciousness:

I mean, I think it might have some implications of stunting the grieving process for some. It might be unhealthy for some. It might also be good for others. It's hard to say really.

I know there are people I wish I could see again and talk to and hear them laugh. Maybe on their birthday or on a holiday, sit down with some whiskey and pour your heart out. Cry and grieve.

I could also see some Miss Havisham types who would interact every day and lose some sense of reality and get kind of fucked up with it.

Actual consciousness? There would be a lot of issues around legality and personhood. Can a person exist like that and not go insane? That's a tough one.

I avoided this because Lost was such a let down. I generally don't like mystery boxes and it sounds like 18 hours into it and you still aren't getting any answers. Like lost. Some of the shit will never make sense or be answered I would fear, and that has kept me from watching this show.

SO, how much like lost is this mystery box show?

Here is Mindy and Charlie talking about the show, and Mindy is giving Charlie all the credit for the characters and writing and Charlie accepting that. I think she was hired to voice an indian diverse female Velma because people now think voice actors need to match the ethnicity of whomever they are voicing. She doesn't deserve the hate for this shitty show but she is the biggest name attached to it so she is getting it.

Clean costumes is a big problem on these WB style fantasy shows. Don't know if they are renting the costumes, or only bought one, or what....but it makes me very aware they are wearing a costume. The design is usually kind of shit as well. Like large pieces of toga style cloth. Shit you could almost make with little experience.

The writing is campy and samey. The diverse cast of characters is fine, but give different ethnic groups different regions and cultures. This homogenized stuff is difficult to watch. I mean, especially if it is in someone else's world in which people looked different depending on region and culture.

I don't really know who they are making these shows for.
