Aliens, demons, androids and robots are everywhere in television, and these characters who often end up being fan favorites as we watch them stumble through trying to understand humanity as they attempt to emulate real people.
On Fox’s new sci-fi series, “Almost Human,” we get a new non-human blend to watch as mostly flesh-and-blood cop John Kennex (Karl Urban) partners up with an android named Dorian (Michael Ealy). This simple premise will probably lead to a ton of good stories and more than a couple of great gags. Androids and their ilk may look like us, but things that seem normal and easy-to-understand for humans boggle their non-human minds.
With that in mind, let’s check out some of television’s most notable non-human characters and the best moments of them almost, but not quite, acting like human beings. On our list is Anya, a demon-turned-human from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” Castiel, an angel from “Supernatural,” Cameron, a terminator from “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” Data, an android from “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” and Kryten, an android from “Red Dwarf.”
