"I lied" is a direct reference to Commando for example, and does not in any way interefere with the T800 priority mission to say it. It's a matter of taste, but taste should not go into fanedits, it all should be to serve a better movie. Thought I agree with some great removals, like the indentifying of the wrong Connors, Nick Stahl and Claire Danes backstories should I think go (we don't care about these characters ! we care about the Terminators), these are just my first fan reactions, i'm still watching and will post more later. But quite frankly, in order for this movie to be good, it should probably be closer to 65 mn.

Thanks for your comments.
I don't agree on "I lied," but that's just a matter of opinion. :-)
"Nick Stahl and Claire Danes backstories should I think go."
They have been removed as much as possible. The only links to the past are Mike Kripke's reference, plus the fact they knew each other before. This had to stay in my opinion, because later on it's revealed that her father is part of of the developement of Skynet.
