Quote: Ah, I see... this gives me an impression of Anna as more of an "Astro Boy" type character. I think I've been overly focused on the repeated reference of her being a SPUD project, but if I assume that SPUD found a modern day Geppetto and set her up with funding rather than actual heavy oversight, then I think I understand how they got the robot they did.More like Xenosaga, actually, since that was the inspiration for Anna's existence. :) Basically, SPUD was designing nearly mindless robots for years, and they wanted one that was completely autonomous and maintenance-free. So they commissioned a top-end robotics researcher who had some interesting papers on artificial intelligence and robot design. Quote: Previously, I was thinking there must have been some spy-mission related reason SPUD would order a wispy young girl design. Now I see her creator wanting to build a wispy young girl, and saying "Fine, she can have lasers and super-strength if you like" while taking a big bag of cash from SPUD.They might have thought of her needing to be "low profile" - but they probably meant as opposed to a 12-foot metallic hulk. I'll leave that for CSFB! to look up and post a review. Quote: In truth, it was the 5th photo offered on "Google Images" when I put in her name: A still from the high school football movie "Varsity Blues" where she tries to seduce the lead character by coming into the room wearing nothing but a whipped cream bikini (and a couple of strategically placed cherries.) I even had the "safe search" set to "moderate". I didn't see that one - I think the first few were publicity images, something taken at an awards ceremony or premiere, and a few screenshots from movies and Heroes. Quote: In fairness, it *was* a memorable scene from a completely forgettable sports movie.I never saw it. | |||||||
