    Soul?

    I really like the recall of the original movies! Good piece of past. Very interesting.

    This show keeps being good. I'm really enjoying it. It's not so delusional!

    Souls and Hands

    Cameron dresses up like a police officer and seeks in the evidence room of a precinct the hand of the Terminator destroyed by Sarah. She discovers that FBI Agent James Ellison has the possession of the evidences. Agent Allison watches videotapes of Sarah being interviewed in the mental institution Pescadero State Hospital and he seeks out Dr. Peter Silberman. Meanwhile Sarah sends Cameron to find Dmitri Shipkov, who stole and might have the Turk, while she breaks into Allison's apartment looking for the hand; she finds a collection of videotape and steals a particularly one. When John sees the tape, he finds the weak moment of his mother's life.

    I liked very much "The Demon hand", one of the best episodes of this series. The discussions about souls and weaknesses have good lines for a TV show. The story is engaging, and Cameron shows a total lack of feelings when she leaves Dmitri's room. In the end, it seems that Derek Reese has a point with his mistrust with Cameron. My vote is eight.

    Science Religion...

    It's all gone a bit holy and devout, almost preaching from some highly moral spout, talk of souls and false prophets, deity hands are then posit, this is not what the story's about!!!

    ... and if a machine is programmed what to do, how different is that from the brain washing we all undergo during the formative years of our own lives?

    • Trivia
      In one scene, Cameron (Summer Glau) is undercover in a ballet class. In reality, Summer Glau is a trained ballerina.
    • Goofs
      Thermite burns at 1370 °C (2500 °F), and releases high levels of Ultra-violet light making it very dangerous for humans to view directly without substantial eye protection like a Welder's Mask. At least two human characters (Sarah Connor and John Connor), and possible three (Charley Dixon), view the reaction directly without eye protection. Due to their rather indestructible nature, it is reasonable to assume that the light would not hurt a Terminator, so Cameron Phillips viewing the reaction without eye protection is not a goof.

      Cameron Phillips: Dance is the hidden language of the soul.

      Derek Reese: First you have to have a soul.
