Terminator Genisys: 30 Easter Eggs, In-Jokes And References

28. John Calls His Mother Sarah (Once Again)

One of the stranger quirks of the original, pre-machine John Connor is how he refers to his mother consistently by her first name; it's always "Sarah did this", "Help Sarah do that." It's rather odd by itself, but is actually totally in keeping with the character. The speech Kyle delivers to Sarah in the original Terminator, repeated verbatim from John, references her by her first name and in Terminator 2 John sometimes refers to his mother as Sarah out of anger for her getting committed.
