If Rachel turns out to be an evil what? We better get that straight before we send Lorelai to intergalactic court. We’re covering the cultural, historical, and archetypal roles of fembots in modern pop culture. Are fembots docile housekeepers, sex-crazed maniacs, or both? Who controls them, or are they totally out of control? And what would happen to Luke if Rachel was actually a fembot? We turn to Popular Science, The Bionic Woman, and Queen of Outer Space to to help us answer those questions.
