1) I'm not worried about the robot sense of smell. Its entirely plausible as chemical analysis, and unsurprisingly that human programming bias would be to have robots interpret such as scent. It is especially plausible on a military chassis such as Bubbles or Pintsize, wherein being able to detect battlefield chemical agents would be a definite plus, if not an absolute requirement. From a tactical reliability standpoint, the vivid robot hallucinations arbitrary scents can cause is worrisome; if a battlefield bio/chem agent can be dressed up to register on robot noses as purple lilies in a sun-drenched field, a lot of mere-human soldiers will die before they can react.
2) Bubbles HAS heard The Beatles even if she hasn't heard an actual Beatles song; the "sound" they pioneered is so completely entrenched in the "musical DNA" of America, that just about every band in every musical genre you can think of have utilized some element of it at some point in their career...which she will realize once she hears some actual Beatles....
Kugai:
I always wondered about that with Ringo :-D
Zebediah:
Tell me about it. The dude's 77 years old and can still keep perfect rhythm in complex time signatures? OBVIOUSLY A ROBOT.
MamiyaOtaru:
Of course Bubbles has heard the Beatles. She's just messing with Faye, made obvious by her comment about Wings. And after Faye calls her on it, she drops the act and gives her analysis of the subliminal messages in the songs she obviously must have heard.

In Northampton? All I can say to that is that it is far, far less likely here than in most other places I've lived. We pride ourselves on our tolerance. Even our local bigots have mostly learned to live and let live - they might roll their eyes and say "What, we got robot lesbians now? Whatever!" But that's probably as far as it would go.

I'm not american, but I have a feeling that the country is far less tolerant these days. Anyway, maybe in the QCverse politics are not so cathastrofically interfering in people's behaviour... But even in the comics we've seen characters being discriminated (May) or worried about their safety (Claire).

Despite the regression over the past 5 years, we're more tolerant than we were 100 years ago.
Crap like Margaret Sanger's The Negro Project only happens behind high level closed doors these days.
