@kelseyhusky for some reason doesn’t like my suggestion that the T2 could make itself into a giant waffle iron and the rest of the movie could be about waffles.
@Leucrotta waffle irons are complex machines with internal warming elements. It doesn’t work that way. It can only form knives, and stabbing weapons. The T-1000 would make an excellent fencing partner for you, though. Variety of attacks, doesn’t run out of energy, so good for stamina training too. And it won’t stop until it kills you, so you’ve got a lot of motivation to win, right?
@kelseyhusky I've already had a fencing instructor who couldn't feel pity, or remorse or fear. Hoo boy, I definitely liked my usual maitre d'armes a lot more!
@Leucrotta there is finesse to be found in any endeavor. He probably got his ass handed to him in a saber fight when young, or was taught by someone who did.
@kelseyhusky I'd doubt it - it was kinda consistent with how he *hated* remises and little fleche hits in passing. Not only can saber look more like you're just swiping away at someone, but a lot of pretty good, passable hits are really quick twitch attacks to your opponent's wrist or forearm, and that probably struck him as the same sort of imprecise technique.
@kelseyhusky ... for all that Gene thought saber was barbaric and lacked finesse and only grudgingly taught me any of it.
