"But you, you are going to help me a great deal." "To murder Nazis?" "No, but studying you will help me create the next wave of automatons."
G.I. Robot is brought onto a television program, where he is introduced as proof that the United States has the greatest scientific minds on Earth. He is applauded for his heroic efforts and attempts to determine if the audience members are Nazis. He voices this concern to the television host, who tries to play the question off. However, this turns G.I. Robot's suspicion to the host, making him uncomfortable.[8][3]
Scientist Will Magnus is in the audience, and General King uses the performance as evidence that G.I. Robot's personality was not meant for public appearances. Magnus says that G.I. Robot is better referred to as an artificial intelligence, expressing surprise that G.I. Robot has a level of self-awareness. King says that G.I. Robot is going to be retired from performing, offering the robot to Magnus for his studies, and Magnus agrees.[8][3]
G.I. Robot reactivates and greets Will Magnus, who introduces himself as a specialist in artificial intelligence. G.I. Robot asks if Magnus is a Nazi and is disappointed to learn that he is not. G.I. Robot realizes that half his body is missing, and Magnus assures him that he will piece the robot back together with improvements.[8][3]
G.I. Robot asks if there are Nazis nearby, explaining that he was created solely to kill Nazis. Magnus asks what G.I. Robot would want if he did not have programming, so G.I. Robot says he would like to be reunited with Easy Company and kill Nazis with them. Magnus says that he does not know who Easy Company are. Magnus explains that studying G.I. Robot will help Magnus create a new wave of automatons.[8][3]
↑ 1.01.11.21.31.41.5Sometimes the DCU alludes to events that happened in our world, and it is assumed they happen on the same dates in the universe, for timeline purposes.
↑In The Tourmaline Necklace, a title card establishes Bride of Frankenstein's birth to have occurred in "1831." Following several other flashbacks, Bride runs away from Eric Frankenstein, and the next time they see each other is in "1852" as established by another title card. A montage is then shown of Frankenstein chasing Bride, with several title cards establishing the year in which these flashbacks are set. Finding a line of best fit and working backwards from 1852, it can be approximated that Bride ran away on December 36, 1838. During the second lesson, Bride of Frankenstein appears to still be early in her development, yet these flashbacks must stretch seven years, so in distributing the remaining flashbacks, efforts can be taken to ensure that this flashback is close to Bride's birth. This places the first flashback on May 18, 1933, Frankenstein trying to touch Bride on March 8, 1836, and Bride receiving the tourmaline necklace on August 2, 1837. The date on which each scene of the Chase of the Bride of Frankenstein is set, with exceptions explained in other references, can be approximated as the midpoint of the year they were placed in by their title card.
↑In The Collywobbles, Rick Flag, Sr. says that he was eighteen years old when Rick Flag, Jr. was born. A weighted calculation from this line, along with Frank Grillo's age while recording Creature CommandosSeason 1 and Joel Kinnaman's age while filming The Suicide Squad, places Flag, Sr.'s birth on August 4, 1964 and Flag, Jr.'s birth on January 31, 1983. For full details of the calculations, see here.
↑ 8.08.18.28.3In Cheers to the Tin Man, Will Magnus says, "the war was 20 years ago." This could refer to exactly twenty years, making the date August 14, 1965; more broadly 240 months, making it some time in August 1965; more broadly within the twentieth year since, making it some time in 1965; or be a very general approximation using a round number, making it some time in the 1960s. A weighted calculation, placing more weight on the more specific, places this scene on July 15, 1965. Magnus buying G.I. Robot can be taken to have occurred a few days earlier since G.I. Robot is only now learning about Magnus.
↑In The Collywobbles, Amanda Waller says, "For over 50 years, only those at the uppermost levels of security clearance are aware of its existence." A weighted average places the formation of the Non-Human Internment Division in 1969.
