Tune in tomorrow to see Kat go too far with dessert! I believe that Kat has been trying to conceal from Annie the fact that she reactivated all the ancient robots (but one) to help her with the New People. (I can't help wondering whether she activated S1 as well.) , but Annie found out.If you re-read "She Gave Us An Ocean", you will notice that S13 didn't even offer the pipe maintenance robot a choice. It was all "you will", "you must" and so on... I'm afraid S13 made sure the least possible number of robots refused to get a new body. And if any of them did...well, then he probably let them rot inside their stalled CPUs. |

A small digression from wild robot theories and who is going to kill who and whether we can trust teenage witches and such: Does Paz eat meat? She can talk to birds and animals, so I have to wonder... I ask because it seems like she probably wouldn't want to eat things that can talk to her. That looks like Sushi they are eating. Can Paz talk to fish? We know she can talk to alien crustaceans, even underwater! Other folks have already answered this apparently, but I thought I'd add on that Paz is a farm girl, so she's probably a lot more used to a culture of "animals are our friends but we can also eat them" than your average city person. I doubt it bothers her all that much.

Also, let's not forget that Kat was crying about Paz caring for lab mice. Paz was the one who insisted using animals for experiments is not evil. She doesn't have a problem chatting with the lab animals about how her date went before they're taken away for the next experiment. |

Shades of Earthbound. "I'll put Zimmy in this Safety Capsule so I cannot possible kill her. Forever." That's a particularly apt comparison because Porky put himself in the Absolutely Safe Capsule, and might actually be content in there because of his craving for isolation. It's like severe drug addiction; it puts him in a state which is hellish by most people's standards, and which will probably drive him completely insane, but at the same time it is something he wants and chose for himself. Kat's schtick has pretty much always been personal empowerment; as illustrated by her argument with Paz over the lab mice, she hates it when living things are used as tools for somebody else's benefit. But Zimmy is someone who shouldn't be further empowered, at least in certain ways, because she has such strong self-destructive tendencies. Perhaps the risk here is that Kat will try to give Zimmy what she wants--tools to isolate herself from the observation she hates, for instance--and Zimmy will use them to cut herself off from other people forever. Permanent relocation to Zimmingham. You can buy a house there... but you can never leave! |
