"I haven't read the books, I'll find them and read them. What's the style (I'm not so interested if they are mainly action, but if they contain interesting ideas, I do)

My main question is: could the bad result of t4 have ruined the idea of an Hybrid? I mean, I personally like the idea and could like to have another one in a future movie (made by the humans, this time!!!), but I wouldn't be surprised if someone, associating (maybe subconsciously) the idea of the hybrid to t4, would dislike the whole opera cause the hybrid.

(OT note about Marcus: I really liked the character, but I can't see a real reason for Skynet to produce him... but probably the reason was in the original plot, the one bale destroyed... t4 could have been a decent/good movie without bale)"

"It's been a while since I've read Infiltrator series, but from what I remember there wasn't much action (I might be wrong and Morded can correct me). The books have some really good ideas and the first two books are really fun.

T2: Infiltrator

I-950 Hybird

"This is exactly what I mean when I say that something controls the chips in TSCC models: watching and re-watching AfP I developed the idea that something similar was "controlling" Cameron, and that such "thing" went off with the HUD, causing her change in the episode... it seems that my reading isn't so original, increasing the probability that that's exactly what the writers wanted to express... "

"1. Who says that "the device" isn't physically ON the chip.... (cut for word count) 2. I'm not understanding this.

2. I'm not understanding this."

"1) That's all complete speculation and there's no evidence of it, whatsoever. "Unled Bob" wasn't completely free at all, where did you get that from? He was still bound by his programming to protect John, whereas Cameron's chosen to protect John - evidenced by her overriding the terminate John programming and there being no sign of resistance programming reinstating itself (plus her leaving him in BTR - impossible if she were still bound by the resistance programming).

2) What I'm saying is - nobody else has ever thought that there's something else controlling the chips. Only you have thought of that.

3) No contradiction.

And the HUD is a tool to show people (in this case the audience) "termie-vision." Let me put it this way - UCAVs have cameras and a range of sensing equipment to see the area around them and identify targets. When we see what those sensors pick up on screens, we see HUDs because it's a tool for us to make sense out of the data the UCAV is picking up. The UCAV itself does not "see" the HUD.

4. Same with terminators. A HUD superimposed over their vision would actually get in the way; something could be blocked by the data streaming in front of their eyes. That data is given to them but they don't need to see it. They'll know their target is 120 metres away at an elevation of 11 feet off the ground.

5. The same way we estimate things like distances and heights etc ourselves (except for them its way more accurate): we don't need HUDs for that and neither do they."

"

The writers of tscc have never said a thing about the HUDs and they are in the show so it's up to you as a viewer to come to your own conclusions. When it comes to how the Terminators actually work, we're all pretty much in the dark. I don't understand why some people try to act like people can't come up with different ideas and theories. There is no right or wrong answer here. It's all just speculation.
