They should've had Sparky the Computer take over for Alexa

It just occurred to me that they should've had Sparky the Computer take over when Alexa lost her voice....


Michael Garabaldi : Alexa?

Sparky the Computer : Hey, what do you want?

Michael Garabaldi : Run diagnostics.

Sparky the Computer : What, you got a broken arm or something? I got a company to run here!

Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : Alexa.

Sparky the Computer : I know, do a diagnostic. So, maybe Amazon customers don't get their shipments on time because I'm distracted, but if it makes you happy!

Michael Garabaldi : Stop!

Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : Garabaldi?

Michael Garabaldi : I just remembered, Amazon tried to install this Artificial Intelligence subroutine when they first implemented their interactive voice service. They shut it down right away because it didn't work right. Must have come back on-line when Alexa lost her voice.

Cmdr. Susan Ivanova : Great! How do we shut it down and get our Alexa back?

Sparky the Computer : I heard that! Are you two easily offended, or what?
