I wasn't terribly disappointed, but I wasn't entirely
impressed either. It was a kickass movie and it did have
some great Arnold one liners. Visually, it was fantastic.

I enjoyed your commentary. My question is regarding the
hydrogen fuel cells. Does the T800 have any other energy
source or is he/it powered by only those two cells?

If so, then we have a problem. He ditched the one while
driving with John. And the second one he stuffed in the TX's
mouth. But he was still powered up as he said, "You're
terminated!"

If I take the battery out of my laptop, that sucker is OFF
immediately. No smart remarks. No jokes. No nuttin'.

Am I missing something?

And this movie didn't follow the standard time travel
results. Wouldn't T2's events have affected John's memories,
his very being, as well as the psychiatrist's memories?

I'm not going to give it much thought, but...
