Sarah: (voiceover) In 1943, the German physicist, Werner Heisenberg, delivered a physics lecture to a packed hall in Zurich. One of the audience members was Mo Berg, an ex-professional baseball player, working as a spy for the OSS. Berg's task was to listen to the lecture and determine whether Heisenberg and the Germans were close to perfecting the atomic bomb. If Berg discovered this was the case, he was to wait for Heisenberg outside the lecture hall and shoot the scientist in the head. He had never killed anyone before. (edit) Sarah: (voiceover) When I was in the mental hospital, I became obsessed with science. Not all science, actually. And not really science at all. Scientists- and then only nuclear scientists. The ones who invented the bomb. Oppenheimer, Heisenberg, Fermi, and Teller. Pioneers, geniuses all. I read every book I could. I wanted to understand. Why couldn't they stop, these fathers of our destruction? And why wouldn't anybody stop them? And if I had the chance, would I? (edit) Cameron: Do you like this color on me?
John: What?
Cameron: I'm a bitch whore.
John: What?
Cameron: I have a new friend.
John: Did she call you a bitch whore?
Cameron: No, she cried.
John: Wai.....What?! (edit) Girl: Does this make me look fat?
Cameron: Yes.
Girl: What the hell?
Cameron: You asked. (edit) John: Look, she has a metal plate in her head. Really, it's a big one.
Cameron: I fell...hard. (edit)

Goof: While it is true that Morris Berg was sent by the OSS to determine if Heisenberg was close to making the atomic bomb, the event occurred in 1944, not 1943 like Sarah said. (edit) When Cromartie steals the blood from the hospital, he brakes the glass in the door to open it with the handle on the other side. However when he smashes his hand through the glass the force opens the door but yet he still reaches for the handle to open it (pulling the door closed first). (edit) Goof: When Cromartie forces the scientist to make the synthetic skin, we get a shot of the scientist in the bathroom with the robot who has an over coat on. In the next shot, we see the scientist becoming amazed at the sight of the robot without the coat. If you compare the gigantic size of the robot that they show next, with the figure that was in the overcoat, there is an obvious difference in size. The real Cromartie could never fit in that small of an overcoat. (edit) Goof: The ground shot of the dead student shows her arm extended and her hand pointing out. The camera angle changes to an overhead view and her arm has moved and her hand is now next to her face. (edit) Goof: In the scene of Cameron in the girls restroom, as the camera angle changes, her left arm and hand go back and forth from holding her book bag strap to straight by her side. (edit)

Zelda:

Andy refers to "Zelda 3," which is The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, which was later ported to the Game Boy Advance. This game is the third installment in the Legend of Zelda franchise. (edit) Tessa: What about that machine?
Sarah: She's doing well. (referring to Cameron)
Tessa: Not that one; the other.
Sarah: No.

They are alluding to the T-800 that Arnold Schwarzenegger played in the movie Terminator 2: Judgement Day which accompanied Sarah on her mission to kill Miles (renamed to Myles for the show), the creator of Skynet. Tarissa was present when they captured her husband and learned of the future war when Sarah explained the situation to him. At the end of the movie the T-800 was destroyed. (edit) Short Circuit:

Cameron's reciting of the synonyms for 'freak' is perhaps a nod to the 1986 movie Short Circuit in which the robot Number 5 had the habit of reciting synonyms for words that were used to describe him or one of the other characters. (edit) Title:

"The Turk" was the nickname associated with a device first presented in 1769 to the royal family of Austria as a chess-playing automaton. Speculation that the mechanism, a desk 3 feet wide, over 2 1/2 feet high and 2 feet deep, actually was controlled by a human operator concealed inside was finally confirmed in 1827. (edit)
