The one substantive contribution I have about this episode is that Rossum Corporation comes from an old Czech play called "R.U.R. Rossum's Universal Robots" which is where we actually _get_ the word "robot".
Interestingly, from the wikipedia article: "The play begins in a factory that makes 'artificial people' — they are called Robots, but are closer to the modern idea of androids or even clones, creatures who can be mistaken for humans. They can plainly think for themselves. Although they seem happy to work for humans, that changes and leads to the end of the human race due to a hostile robot rebellion"
That is all.
