"The body wouldn't have to "see" the worker to know that he was there. It might sence his movement, or detect his presence with a type of radar."

"This detachable head model invokes weird images in my twisted terminator world of the T walking behind a wall or building, detaching his head, and tossing it up in the air to get a better view. At the bowling alley, he could bowl his head down the lane to see if anyone was hiding in the ball retrieval machinery. LOL, I'm so sick!"

"Good point.

I can only conclude that the decapitated head was shown always on top of a body. (In truth of course, there is a live actor in this costume, and his head is attached.) And it was never on fire. Thus it was qualitatively different from a visibly detached burning head. I can imagine a little kid seeing the show and not being that scared by the decapitated head firmly installed on Cromartie's body, but perhaps being disturbed by a detached burning head flying through the air?

Gusar has kindly reproduced in his post Josh's quote from the Producer's Blog."

"I don't think there is a chip in the body. I think the body had vision and audio sensing which was fed wirelessly to the brain in the remote head. The head would make decisions and control the body's movement, again wirelessly.

If you take the chip out of the head, you presumably disable the thinking function, i.e., the cyborg loses consciousness. The head stops thinking and the body stops moving. Taking Vick's chip out stops his body."
