Sarah’s mother…

I noticed that no one mentions that the Terminator killed Sarah’s mom. There’s a lack of recognition about it. The film glosses over it very fast with the immidate shock of the Terminator saying “I love you too sweet heart”, then the love scene, then the chase after Sarah’s and Kyle makes you forget about it.

Imagine after everything; Sarah’s friends are dead, Kyle is dead and after she’s taken away to a hospital to recover she finds out that her mom was also dead.

Totally puts her in isolation and makes more sense for her traveling alone and becoming obsessed with trying for blowup a computer factory too after all that SkyNet did to get to her leaving behind all the dead. Made it all very personal.
