CHARACTER BEST:

The Turk was created by Andy Goode, as a chess playing computer. All of the hardware was custom made by him, as well as the software. (This man) Taught the turk to play chess. Andy noted in it's early stages that the turk had "moods." If Andy fed him a problem, he would solve it one way. Then the next day, he would solve it a different way. Sometimes he didn't do the problem at all. The Turk's ability was tested at a chess competition. The winner would get a contract with the air force. The Turk tragically lost in it's last game, even though the Turk had gained control of the board moves before. Later, Andy Goode theives broke into Andy's room at the competition and stole the turk. Seconds later, he was murdered by Derek Reece(link needed). The Turk had been stolen by a man called Sarcisian. Sarkisian sold it to Catherine Weaver, head of Zeia Corp.

Catherine and her developers were bent on trying to co-operate with the turk. However, the Turk did not respond to anything. Instead, he showed a barrage of pictures on a screen. This child psycologist guy (Link needed) was able to tell Catherine that it was a joke. "Why is the mathbook sad? Because it has so many problems." Child psycologist guy was hired by Catherine to advise her on the workings of the turk, and how he thought.

Child psycologist guy was murdered by the Turk. A failure in the power systems throught the country (ironically caused by Cameron) caused all systems, but the turk, to shut down in ZeiaCorp. ZeiaCorp had backup power generators, but all power was dedicated to the Turk, to ensure it's survival. In doing so, Child psycologist guy was trapped in his room and died of heat. The Turk called the ambulence, even though child psycologist guy was dead. He told James Ellison that he was dead, but believed that he could be somehow brought back from the dead.

James Ellison, acting under the direction of Catherine Weaver, brought in the body of Cromartie, a T-888 terminator that had lost it's chip and was planned to be burned by the Connors. When Catherine Weaver brought it to the Turk, to see what it could do with it, The Turk wired itself into Cromartie and repaired him. This gave the Turk the ability to display facial expressions, speak, and see through Cromartie's eyes.

Seems some things stated in the above John Henry description I've missed.

Are they just a bunch of assumptions or were they really explicitly stated?

1) Catherine and her developers were bent on trying to co-operate with the turk. However, the Turk did not respond to anything. Instead, he showed a barrage of pictures on a screen.

I thought they did communicate with the Turk, but after this it started showing the images.

Regarding this, "Weaver and her developers were bent on trying". What developers? Where in the show do we see them trying so hard to do this?

2) James Ellison, acting under the direction of Catherine Weaver, brought in the body of Cromartie.

Acting under the direction of Weaver? Where did we see that? I thought the point was he made the decision himself thinking he could halp mankind?

3) The Turk wired itself into Cromartie and repaired him.

Did we see this? I know that was the end result, but how are we to assume the Turk did this? I assumed it was Weaver.


Don't want to sound picky, but I get the impression the writer of this character assessment is trying hard to add their own ideas to the story. Might be confusing for someone that is new to the show.
