Is this a coincidence?
Or, is Jonathan Nolan a big Terminator fan?
Or, are both these lines allusions to something earlier?
The CEO of the company I used to work for (bought out by a gigantic consulting firm) used to say “People disappoint me.” Maybe he got it from the same place.

Kirk: let me tell you something Spock. Everybodys human.
Spock: I’ve never been so insulted.
That was only fair, because the third season disappointed humans.
I liked it. Better than the fourth season, at least. Taking a whole season to have Samaritan go from “almost totally in charge” to “really totally in charge” was a bit much.
