Moving Out?

akronnick:
That doesn't really make it any better.

Schmorgluck:
Is this the thread for wacky speculation? Because if so, I have to state that I believe we haven't seen the last of Lt Potter. She may have heard that there are fine beer outlets in Northampton (possibly from random chit-chat with Hanners) and decides to go there on her next permission. Not necessarily only for the booze, mind you: she also finds Marten is a chill dude, even though she isn't attracted to him. And so they go for an evening at the Horrible Revelation, and she meets Elliot, who's actually totally her type of guy. Cue hilarously angsty drama in which Marten feels bothered by it, and even more bothered by the fact that he feels bothered. "THIS SHOULDN'T BOTHER ME, DAMMIT!"

No, really, there's plenty of room for new drama.

It is one with a long history. For example. Arguably all personal loans are ultimately secured by the borrower's labour, so not much has changed.

I hope it is not in the world of the underrated film "Impostor".

DSL:
As a kid I read a sf short story  (and it was already old then, so maybe half-a-century old by now)  told from the POV of a man who had a robot doppelganger everyone was trying to find. Robot had identical memories and believed it was the original. Doppel was found and destroyed; twist ending was what you've already guessed. I doubt that story was the first to use that theme.

Carl-E:
You're thiking of Clifford Simak's Goonight, Mr. James  which was made into an Outer Limits episode called The Duplicate Man. 

Simak was always bothered by the popularity of this story...
