Last night Almost Human returned to FOX will the all new episode, "Are You Receiving," which centers around a hostage situation. Earlier in the day, Lili Taylor, who plays Captain Sandra Maldonado, and Minka Kelly, who plays Valerie Stahl, talked to the digital media about the series and the upcoming episode.

Both of the actresses talked to SciFi Vision about how they originally got their roles and why they decided to take them on. Taylor said, "For me it was kind of interesting because Maldonado was originally written as a man, and my manager suggested "what if you thought of Maldonado as a women and what if it was Lili?" And they were open to that, and I went in and I read, and I think it felt really like an interesting way to go for everybody. I was interested because of J.J. [Abrams] and Joel [Wyman] and they are very creative and they have a lot of creative autonomy as well, so all that combined made it interesting for me to join up.

Kelly added, "I auditioned. I was one of the last ones to be cast, and I auditioned, and then a couple of days later I was flying out to Vancouver to shoot the pilot. I also was attracted to it because of the people making it, J.J. and Joel. I'm big fan of theirs and I just had a strong feeling it would be something very interesting with these guys just because they're so smart and creative, and also the cast. The cast was already set in place and so I was really excited for the opportunity to work with these people."

Tomorrow FOX kicks off its special two-night premiere event of Almost Human. Coming from executive producer J.J. Abrams and creator and executive producer J.H. Wyman, the new sci-fi action series is sure to be a hit.

Almost Human, which is set in the year 2048, follows Detective John Kennex, played by Karl Urban, who wakes up from a coma after surviving an attack on the police department. He has lost his leg, which has been replaced by a synthetic one, and most of his memory of the event, other than that his partner was killed.

When Kennex returns to duty, he finds that all of the officers are required to partner with androids, which he is very adverse to. He reluctantly agrees at the request of Captain Sandra Maldonaldo, played by Lili Taylor, but his partnership is short-lived when he ends it after the robot discovers some incriminating evidence against him.
