T3 could have, and would have, been so much better had the original storyline been followed. If you notice, in T2, an arm got snipped off in the gears. Also, the poly-memetic terminator, when he shattered, he did not recover all of his bits. Lots of little damaged pieces of him left behind, which was why he was so glitchy. Like when he touches the rail and his hand becomes black and yellow.
In the original ending to T2, John Connor becomes a US Senator. He creates a program of drones to help hunt down rogue nuclear weapons to bring peace. These drones that his initiative creates are the prototypes to the Hunter Killers seen in the films. These drones, as the network that runs them becomes self aware. We find out that it was John that created Skynet by accident. You can see the original ending on some of the special edition type DVDs. You can also see the gas station scene where they pop off the back of the terminator's skull and flip a very important chip around in to a read write mode, which is what allows him to learn.
It's also very important to note how the poly memetic terminator was made. In T2, in a deleted scene, it was explained that Skynet, being a communications system first and foremost, did something that humans had failed to do. Make contact with aliens. It implies that the T1000 was the results from that contact. I believe the book touches on this in some form.
Also failed to mention in T2, was that there were humans helping Skynet. Cybernetically enhanced. People willing to betray human kind to become monsters with unlimited power. Skynet needed humans for tasks that machines could not do.
Er, sorry, such a juicy subject this is. It bothers me that T3 failed in so many ways. Cameron said in one of the DVD interviews that he had planned on 4 or 5. Some involving time travel backward, and some involving time travel forward.
It kills me that a great story will never be told.
Serenity looks promising.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
