I tried to watch the show after having read the series twice.

I made it through the first episode, and I like what they did with Bob. Other than that though, it was pretty disappointing.

I like the workaround you used to explain why the nervous system still works, the same logic can be applied to why pacemakers and the like have not stopped working. I have to say though, it gives me a (sort of hilarious) terrible image of genetically engineered cat-guns, what is essentially is normally a cat is also, well, a gun. The combustion happens inside of the cat, so the shadow wouldn't affect it.

I'm a terrible person.
