Occasionally, even if the robot girl is initially depicted as totally emotionless and incapable of compassion, empathy, humor or love, often such traits - or the simulation of such traits - will begin to sneak in. Examples of this have included Cameron from ''Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles'', Eve Edison from ''Mann & Machine'' and Rhoda from ''My Living Doll''. Unless, of course, the robots are programmed from the start to simulate - or even genuinely experience - emotion, such as the Cylons from the 2004 version of ''Battletar Galactica'' or the Replicants from ''Blade Runner''.
