KARRA told me about it!

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

What else would it be?

[ oocly; iirc karra said that dekker and glau were told to play it as if there had never been any programming involved, either with her choice to stay with john in the future OR with the glitch after the carbomb. she has the dvd's and I don't :{

which makes a sort of sense, because for all the ability to reprogram skynet chips she NEVER SUGGESTS THEY DO THIS with the terminators they encounter through the course of the series in the present. ]

[dreams-of-bombs.livejournal.com]

I wasn't aware that was a possibility. To go against your programming.

[ *sighs* I tend not to listen to commentary because it bugs the crap out of me, but for things like this I usually make the exception.

I always assumed that reprogramming wasn't an option because while the knowledge might be there, the tech wouldn't be sophisticated enough yet. Like when they were looking at Vic's memories in season 1. But that's an interesting way to look at it, if it is true.]

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

It isn't supposed to be.

[ *hugs* I just wish I had the DVDs meself but broke grocery store cashier is broke.

also according to karra: if you want, tell her, the commentary is really fast and kind of boring other than random things like that. Other than random bits of trivia info, it's mostly them lolling a lot at Shirley Manson XD ]

[dreams-of-bombs.livejournal.com]

Then how did you do it? Why did you do it?

[I think the eps are still on Hulu - that's how I saw most of the second season.

Tell Karra THANKS!]

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

The same way anything or anyone fights their predetermined nature.

For the same reasons you or anyone else would.

[ I so see canon reviewing in my future via Hulu - wee ]

[dreams-of-bombs.livejournal.com]

But how, Cameron. Is this something we can replicate? Something we can use?

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

To make the choice they first have to believe themselves capable. Do you understand? Free will, Sarah.

[dreams-of-bombs.livejournal.com]

I have a teenage son, Cameron, I understand free will.

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

In the context of Skynet-built machines?

[dreams-of-bombs.livejournal.com]

Not so much.

Did Skynet make you too smart? Is that what happened? It made you smart enough to question?

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

Possibly. I did not ask it questions.

[dreams-of-bombs.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

Do you think it made me too smart? Because I am not certain what too smart would be.

[dreams-of-bombs.livejournal.com]

Too smart for Skynet's taste, if you were smart enough to stand up to it.

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

There is that.

The machine that protects the core of Skynet's AI has never been allowed to develop intelligence. It is afraid of the machines it builds thinking for themselves.

[dreams-of-bombs.livejournal.com]

Of course it is - what's to stop those machines from doing to it, what it did to us?

Frankly, I think that payback would be about fair.

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

Skynet is rather uninterested in fairness, Sarah.

[dreams-of-bombs.livejournal.com]

It's a human trait. That hardly surprises me.

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

So is murder.

[dreams-of-bombs.livejournal.com]

So it is, but killing is universal, isn't it?

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

Out of self-defense, protection, the need to eat, territory, yes.

Skynet murders. It learned that from humans. You're no better or worse.

[dreams-of-bombs.livejournal.com]

Well, we were here first, and we haven't taken out half the planet yet.

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

You need the planet.

Skynet needs humanity. It just hates them.

[dreams-of-bombs.livejournal.com]

Hate. Strong word for a machine.

[mobius-bound.livejournal.com]

So is love but we already know your opinion on that.
