The main difference for this film seems to be the T-800's ability to grok human morality and how it guides our decision making process, rather than simply assimilating patterns of behavior.

** Speaking of the T-1000's arrival, the scene where the cop gets ambushed is very cleverly written: not only does it conceal the severity of the policeman's injuries, but we don't see the actual moment of the second time-traveler's arrival the way we see the T-800's. Why not? Because the pavement under its hands and feet would've been ''red hot'', just like they were for the T-800, and its failure to yelp in pain and scramble aside immediately upon appearing in the 90s would have given its nature away sooner than the filmmakers intended.

** It's really closer to programmed instructions for a given situation. To use the example from the film, when the T-800 has to start a car, it's logic is programmed to be similar to "1: You need to start the car. 2: Do you have the key? If "no" proceed the step 3. 3: Hotwire the car." Turning off the Read Only restriction lets him add new parameters to his instructions, making it "1: You need to start the car. 2: Do you have the key? If yes, proceed to skip to step 5. If no, proceed to step 3. 3: Can the key be easily located? If no, proceed to step 4. If yes, proceed to step 5. 4: Hotwire the car. 5. Use the key."

* Critics have lightly jabbed at the fact that the T-1000 just ''happens'' to hijack a tanker full of liquid nitrogen--one of the few substances that can harm it--and then chases the heroes into a steel mill, one of the few places it could thaw back out so quickly, calling it ContrivedCoincidence. However, one can argue that the nitrogen tanker was ''heading for'' the steel mill (as liquid nitrogen is used in various steel-making processes). The T-800 (possibly knowing/deducing that there is a steel mill nearby, and intending on using molten metal to slow down or destroy the T-1000) tells John to take the off-ramp and drive to the steel mill.

Overly speculative natter. Further, the added scene doesn\'t actually provide any new explanation. No matter which cut you watch, the Terminator explains that it learns from contact with humans. Judging by the fact that both the T-1000 (and in later films, the T-X and T-3000) can smile more convincingly, we can just chalk it up to not being part of the T-800\'s default programming for whatever reason.

* Many viewers complained about the extra scene where the T-800 smiles awkwardly, saying that it made no sense for a machine with detailed information on human anatomy to have to scan an actual smile for reference. The Terminators have information on human anatomy, yes-- but ''not on human '''emotions''''', and their programming couldn't have included any data on something the machines didn't understand in the first place (see also: "Why do you cry?").
** It also helps to explain later, when the T-800 ''genuinely'' smirks. They actually laid the groundwork for Arnold's one-liners.
** To be fair, this isn't helped by the fact that the scene explaining ''how'' the Terminator starts to learn is not present in the most common version of the film. The surgical scene - which also has an important moment with John asserting himself as the leader he's supposed to be - with the T-800 having his learning processes switched on explains everything about the T-800's development from thereon, including the weary ''"I need a vacation.."'' and his understanding of John's crying all comes from a scene not present in the original cut of the movie. It even justifies the machine's will to get back up after the beatdown from the T-1000, being more a matter of heart and the will to protect John than just the backup power conveniently coming on.

* The T-800 says "Come with me if you want to live" when he first meets Sarah. This is likely because John knew full well that his younger self would want to save his mother, but she would be terrified of seeing a Terminator again, so during the reprogramming he set the T-800 to say the first thing that Kyle said to her, making it easier for her to believe this one was on her side.
