the other woman was a contortionist ! I didn't even think of that! That wasn't crazy special effects; she was actually bending in terribly wrong ways
I actionally cottoned to that right away, and it immediately took me out of the show.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha, I did figure that when her arms bent behind her back like that.
I didn't think about it at all because the woman was so good at being a dead-eyed Terminator I just assumed she was actually a robot.

I thought the robo!chick!fight scenes worked well. Liked the mirroring and mutual recognition moments quite a lot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The moment I realised she was a contortionist made my stomach jump, but I found it helped the scene.
So the verdict is that she was sent by John? Shouldn't she recognise Cameron, or Cameron recognise her? Cameron at least is a standard model.

That's...what on earth? If George is not his friend - is indeed practically a stranger - why would Shatner expect an invitation? Unless Takei has been proclaiming his non-inviting right, left and centre, unprovoked? I mean, I can totally see that journalist types would ASK him if he was inviting his Trek co-workers, so the subject might have cropped up that way.
Wow, though. I can't imagine being Shatner, and responding that way. Cray. Zee.

ita, it looks like that link goes away after a time (as more stories come in) - I don't see any story about Shatner in there.

Well, that's appalling. But it pretty much matches everything I've heard about Shatner over the years.
