The first reference to robots is the statement "Desperate, Joanna stabs Bobbie with a kitchen knife trying to prove her humanity, but Bobbie doesn't bleed or suffer, instead going into a loop of odd mechanical behavior, thus confirming she is a robot." Confirming is the wrong word, since this is only hinted at before - revealing would be a better word to use. I am not sure what "tryin to prove her humanity" means either, since at this joint Joanna is desparate to find her children.124.197.15.138 (talk) 08:18, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Om a similar theme, the sentence "Feeling she will be the next victim, Joanna sneaks into the mansion which houses the Men's Association to find her children" confuses two issues. She may be afraid of being the next victim, but she doesn't go to the mansion for that reason, but despite it. She is looking for her children!124.197.15.138 (talk) 08:21, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The entire article seems to be written by a pretentious, overreaching 10 year old. "The marriage devolves into domestic violence when Joanna and Walter get into a physical scuffle" Joanna "intuitively stabs Bobbie". This is embarrassing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.170.162.247 (talk) 21:51, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
