Man. That'd be so much harder than watching the same episode of a show over and over again for 4 hours.

I guess they didn't had money to make all the loops. The book contains only the last loop.

Okay, what are you guys referencing?

(click to show/hide)Endless Eight, it was a small story from the novel "The Rampage of Haruhi Suzumiya" where the world is trapped in a time loop during summer vacation with everybody having their memories erased about the previews loops in every loop including the one unconsciously causing it. The only character that doesn't have its memory erased is not allowed to intervene. And the time loop goes 15,532 times before it is settled. The Novel only narrates the last loop (since the narrator was also trapped in the loop)
The studio making the TV series decided to troll the fans by making 8 loops (all similar with minor variations but without reusing a single scene) without any indications of when the last loop would be.
So for 7 weeks people would watch it expecting a conclusion just to be looped back to the begin of the loop in the next episode. You can imagine the amount of drama and despair caused in the fanbase.
It was an interesting way to make people feel a fraction of what the character who remembered every single loop and reinforced the feeling when that character rebelled much latter but it was completely unnecessary.

They're not the same. The jail pants have a yellow stripe down the leg -- see Here

Hey now, we're talking about a comic where clothes can spontaneously change. A missing stripe means little until it is conformed to be intentional.

Well, she freaked out when Momo hugged her, but only until Momo pointed out she was a robot. I guess Hanners considers robots to have less bodily fluids and germs than people do have.
The question now becomes how May will react, once she realizes they are not fucking with her. There are several possible scenarios:
* May is possibly in deep awe of Ellicott-Chatham Technology, as the creators of true AI (and, by extension, her God and Creator). This may lead to May fanning all over Hanners, similar to Clinton's reaction.
* May is seeing opportunities, like how to benefit from the Hanners acquaintance. Possibly getting a job at the Space station? Or as a henchman for Hannermom?
* May went to robot jail because she was behind this fraud. She may hold a grudge against Hannermom, but should be grateful to Hanners for barely escaping the shark tank.
