There is a subtle play on words with the use of 'unplugged', which has a double meaning here. Also, two of GLaDOS's lines in the comic reference lines from Still Alive: " You broke my heart and killed me" and " Look at me still talking when there's science to do". The title text alludes to the songs both AIs sang in their respective works: When eventually being switched off, HAL sang Daisy Bell, while Still Alive is the end credits song from the Portal video game, sung by the defeated GLaDOS. Although, in the movie, HAL says, Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. GLaDOS also takes over HAL's last sentence to Dave, finishing the useless conversation by saying Goodbye, Dave. ![]() ![]() ![]() Before that, it correctly states that the humans (both Dave and Frank) planned to "kill" HAL, see the spoiler above. Also, GLaDOS's last line is a reference to the song "Still Alive" at the end of Portal. In the games, GLaDOS is also the primary antagonist, trying to kill the player, since it also has "doing science" as its primary objective, which GLaDOS refers to in its last sentence.

HAL was right that the humans wished to "kill" him, as he had read the astronauts' lips during a conversation where he could not hear them, but sees them, so he actually acted in self defense, which for any human being would be considered a reasonable act of self preservation. It is a very sad scene, where he takes out HAL's memory cards (or crystals from the memory center - it's an old movie from 1968) one by one, so HAL becomes less and less intelligent during the process, during which he keeps trying to persuade Dave to stop as long as he still understands what is happening. Spoiler alert: In the movie, Dave blasts himself back into the spaceship and then disconnects HAL. He is at this time outside the spacecraft in a space pod, and when he request for HAL to open the Pod Bay Doors (hence the title), HAL refuses. Just short before this scene, HAL did kill Frank Poole and three more members of the crew. David Bowman) because it believes he jeopardizes the mission by planning to disconnect it. Discovery, is trying to kill the human astronaut Dave (Dr. The first part of the dialog is taken from a scene from the classic science-fiction movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the artificial intelligent (AI) computer HAL 9000, controlling the spacecraft S.S.
