I mean, as a society, is that something we still are struggling with? It seems dated to me. At least BSG had the sense to shift the question of "Dominance of Humans" to "What does it mean to be Human", which is seems copied in each of these films, including Terminator. It just seems very “been there, done that”. Does the whole fear of the world being taken over by machines, not strike anyone else as very 1990s?
