    I still don’t understand how Demerzel just glides through the eons without any gossip sticking among the populace. The ladies seemed way too surprised to discover she was a robot.

      I mean they are ruled by 3 identical clones so it’s not unreasonable to assume she would be one too. Earlier in the season someone presumed she had a separate cloning facility of her own. Wasn’t she also referred to as the last intelligent robot or something last season, too?

        I forgot about that cloning theory from earlier. And the “last intelligent robot” thing was a one-on-one exchange IIRC, not information divulged to the general population.
