Ryan Lee Blu-Ray Commentary

For the record…I’m aware that Rom (and therefore Zor) is not a robot. He’s simply going with his exterior markers in a passive-aggressive attempt to cock-block Longbeau. Because he told him at the start that he didn’t want to participate.

Incidentally, if we want to dive deep into the nerd locker, Rom is awfully close to a robot. His “humanity” was supposedly stored in a jar back on Galador, ready to be restored as soon as the Wraith menace was dealt with for good. That story element got more complicated toward the end of the series, but I don’t want to spoil that, because more people should read Rom. It’s Bill Mantlo’s best work bar none.
