Here’s the obligatory link to our Kickstarter campaign for the Gaia anthology and Sandra and Woo books!
- Sandra: The… movie?!
- Larisa: Yeah!
- Sandra: The movie!! … The moooviiiiiiiieeeeeee {BZZZZZ}
- Larisa: Ha! I knew it!
- Sandra: Hmpf! Hmmpf!!
- Larisa: The Last Airbender Attack. Nothing is more reliable in exposing an evil AI that’s trying to impersonate your best friend! The Game of Thrones Season 8 Gambit is also well suited.

Well… didn’t saw that coming
I still think “Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” (S8E2) is pretty good.
To whoever suggested Larisa was probing for an impostor on the previous page: right theory, wrong execution. It wasn’t a matter of “does she react poorly”, but “can her mind keep up with her outrage”. Not that the former wouldn’t have precedent; I remember an episode of Doctor Who that did something similar with tea.
That almost worked on me.
And if you need an ultimate weapon of mass destruction you can say that Avatar from James Cameron is a good film, with a interesting and original script, good performances and an incredible direction.
Yuna why the hell did you build replicants?
I don’t know… You can stall the logic bomb by parsing out where the freefall began. (Varys’ execution, IMHO).

I knew it!! Looks like Hitomi starts to show her true face!!!
To whoever guessed that “Sandra” was a robot two pages ago, props to you!
My guess was heat stroke (hence my comment on not sweating–heat stroke can go hand in hand with dehydration that way–and not being thirsty after exercise), but I should have know better. :3
Other possiblities saying that Locke and Key Netflix season 1 was good the Boys tv-show could also work quite well.
But if your best friend is an Anime fan go with the butchery of a movie that is Alita: Battle Angel.
@ Gridlock
It’s also important to Know Your Audience™. For instance, I have never heard anything about the first two of your suggestions, so the bomb would have been a dud if lobbed at my evil robotic body double. I’ve heard of the Alita movie and had hopes it would be good, but I’ve not seen it or looked at balanced commentary about it. Though I can kind of imagine because I saw what they did with Ghost in the Shell. As a movie (i.e. not in the context of the Ghost in the Shell franchise, and ignoring the bad press it got), it was okay, and it did make a few nods to the source material, both visual and auditory. But as a GitS movie, I was underwhelmed. I think The Matrix was a better “live action version of GitS.”
I would imagine boy Ghostbusters vs. girl Ghostbusters could also potentially work well for some audiences.

I’ve been a fan of Alita/Gunnm almost as long as it has existed, and I thought the movie was pretty good.
If I had been a robot impostor, this would have worked on me.
she had me in the first half, ngl
well I think Firefly is overrated, and Out of Gas is the worst episode.
@ Carcharocles:
Called it.
Ah wait, Aerion111 was first. 🙂

Also with Doctor Who: proclaim a string of superlatives and praise for the current showrunner and his team of writers – and if that doesn’t do the trick, claim they’re better than all those who’ve gone before 😀
Season 8 of game of thrones was really great. I especially loved how the greatest antagonists were dispatched in quick succession.
*waiting for forum members to expose themselves as evil AIs*
Wait, what? That movie is terrible though, so I wouldn’t have guessed that someone was a robot imposter based on that response.
I still don’t get how these life advice stories are suppose to influence our liking of female armor, or less male armor for that matter.
I wonder if Melody and her 3d printer had a hand in this…
“The Sequels were good.” or “The Prequels were worse than the Sequels.” are effective in two ways.
Either it overloads the AI the same as here or they agree with you and, AI or not, you know you don’t need to hang with them anymore anyhow. 😉
Ooph, she was joking 🙂
Just once, I would like to see a work of fiction that is actually willing to acknowledge the fact that different people can have different opinions, and that differing interests is no reason to disrespect people, rather than actively insulting everyone who enjoys something that the creators dislike.
@ Suomynona:
For GoT I saw the writing change in S5 and go from being the writer I wanted to see to any other show. For AtlA, Ender’s Game, and GotS the movies were terrible *representations of the original*. Alone they might have been good but using the names they did is what made them bad. Avatar the blue people was a pretty movie; the commercials about watching on tiny screens for months after in phone commercials blatently ignored how there are high grossing versions of the same story, and not just the Shakespeare versions. This was not just Romeo and Juliet, it was the same version of Romeo and Juliet as Pocahontas with the same added parts – in both it was “a new world”. Avatar called the element “unobtainium” which is usually the lazy naming that does not get past entertainment meant for young children. AND age wise its primary audience would have been the group to have been most exposed to Pocahontas.
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy did not at all represent the story of the books, but it did not try. It made its own story following the same style. Alice in Wonderland original movie was stated as intending to deviate from the story but capturing the whimsy. The Tim Burton one was claimed to be the sequel and based on the second book but it utterly failed those expectations – it was a bad mix of two books untrue to the original. It would have been a fine movie if it had been honest.
Perhaps I am mixing subjective and objective, but at the least there is some validity in the (objective) nuance affecting subjective opinions en masse that ought to be addressed when expressing fustration with conformity in viewpoints being considered fact – that the conformity has roots in objective nuance.

It was a decent movie, but, will we ever see a sequel? There are a lot of volumes waiting to be filmed!
HAH ! , you got me , did not see it coming . Wait does that mean I am an evil robot too ?
This universe has a very inconsistent power level.
@ fuzzy:
Yes, Inquisitor. That heretic right there!
@ Gilly:
My point wasn’t whether or not any given item was good or bad; my point is that there’s nothing wrong with people who enjoy different things than you do. Some people LIKE Game of Thrones from Season 5 onward, some people LIKE Avatar, some people LIKE Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. If you happen to dislike those subjects, you’re within your rights to dislike them, but that’s no reason to insult the people who do like them.
@ MFvGeel:
Eyup, I was. Told you guys, she gave off robot vibes.
Is it because evil AIs have good judgement, or because they suffer from the bandwagon effect? 🙂
I suppose the Highlander II gambit is reserved for really hard cases or possibly banned by interdimensional treaties.
@ Gridlock:
No.
If the target is an evil android copy of an Anime/Manga fan, the Only Way to be sure, just casually mention Dragon Ball Z, The Live Action Movie.

If avatar is good movie is matter of opinion. However, it having an original script is objectively false.
I’ve found “Y’know, ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ was probably the best Star Wars movie.” works well in destroying evil AIs. It has to be used with caution and never within earshot of humans, as it will destroy friendships, cause your parents to disown you, and has resulted in several diplomatic incidents.

@ Suomynona:
Believers, an episode of Babylon 5, does this in the extreme.
But. . . but, why? And why leave them in their own basement?!
@ Gridlock:
How about “Cop Rock was an amazing TV show!”
My opinion of the Avatar: The Last Airbender movie is based solely on what others have said about it. While I prefer to base my opinions on actually seeing the movie, I also don’t plan on ever watching the movie. I will still bash the movie as much as I want.
and this , folks, is why the EU is trying to regulate AI development.
@ Tanky McTankface:
Now this is just cruel, pure and evil cruelty. I saw the movie like 15 years ago. The nightmares still chase me… None of the other movies/TV series mentioned here reach that level of… of… there’s no word for it. The horror… the horror.
Now, if she’d said ‘Dragonball Evolution’. The fake Sandra would have gone on a rampage destroying everything.
Hmm. Does this mean there’s a mecha-Woo still running about?
Shyamalan’s Big Mistake was that honestly, one cannot in 2 hours present all that occurs in The Last Airbender tv show. The solutions to that are One, Cut Cut Cut. That can be done well, but is greatly difficult. Two, make two or three movies. Three, Don’t Bother!
One might also use The Avengers movie, the one based on the sixties tv show. I knew the movie would be terrible right from the commercials.
Ralph Fiennes as Steed= “Tea?’
Uma Thurman, as Emma Peel= “No, thanks.”
Fiennes= “I meant for me!”
No. Absolutely not. John Steed is a gentleman! Kill, yes! Be rude, crass, misogynist, never!
Also, the Halle Berry Catwoman. Two reasons= One, those ears! Is this Catwoman, or Mrs. Mouse? Two, Catwoman is Selina Kyle, not Patience Phelps!
“Alice in Wonderland original movie”@ Gilly:
When you said “Alice in Wonderland original movie” you meant the 1910 move https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0001106, right?
And you do know that Shakespeare nicked Romeo and Juliet from an Italian poem?
