D.A.R.Y.L. - More Than Meets the Eye? (Tin Foil Hat Time)

Okay, so I just finished watching D.A.R.Y.L. again for like, the millionth time. It's a classic, right? But something's always bugged me, and tonight it clicked. We all accept that Daryl's a robot, fine. Super smart, super fast reflexes, blah blah. But what if... what if the ENTIRE TOWN is in on it? Think about it. The foster parents are WAY too chill about a kid just... appearing. Like, no questions asked? And the way the government guys just waltz in and out of their lives? Suspicious AF! Specifically, remember the scene where Daryl's playing that arcade game? The one he's, like, a god at because of his processing power? What if that wasn't just showing off his abilities, but a test? A way for the government guys to monitor his progress in a 'natural' environment? And the whole baseball thing? The coach is conveniently encouraging him, the other kids are oddly accepting of him being so much better... it all feels staged, doesn't it? It's too perfect. I think they were testing his ability to integrate, to feel human emotions under controlled circumstances. Maybe they're not all robots, but everyone around him could be agents, or at least aware of the experiment. They're all playing a role to see how Daryl reacts. Like a Truman Show, but with Reagan-era tech. And listen, I know it sounds crazy. But am I the only one who always felt like the ending was kinda bleak? Like he's free, but what if he's still being watched? What if the 'love' he gets is still manufactured? Heavy stuff, man. Heavy stuff. And let's be real, the director is credited as "Simon Wincer"... which is a cool 80s name, I guess. But no one seems to know who he really is. Is that a government pseudonym? Is HE a robot too?! Okay, I'm probably getting carried away. But seriously, think about it. D.A.R.Y.L.... more than just a feel-good robot flick? Let me know what you guys think! Maybe I'm just sleep deprived...
