Terminator-201 "Samson & Delilah" - Discuss/Grade <Spoiler>
- Thread starter nx1701g

They've released a LOT of spoilers. The only thing that they kept secret was Weaver was a T-1000, but I had an inkling she was a Terminator from her announcement as a series regular (and because I remember reading that they used her TWINE music video as her audition tape).
The T-1000 fact was revealed by accident. If you checked the wallpapers on the Fox website there were two missing numbers (6 & 7). If you typed them directly in the URL it brought up the image of a T-1000 body.
he's from an alternate future where the hadron collider didn't destroy his world. He's also seen the smallville finale in 2011.
Actually that wasn't the finale. They added in another season because they needed a flagship show for the CW's spinoff - UWBN.
^ I was about to use that joke. 
Just checked that out. That was a pretty sloppy thing to do, but the wallpapers are pretty nice. They look more like something out of a James Bond montage.

Cameron: "Guy deactivated me, Mal. Deactivated me with his screwdriver."
Brian Austin Green: "Destroy her, John. If I wanted to work with a soulless bitch I would've done that new 90210 with Shannen Doherty."
FBI guy: "So some out of work actor who's body had been dead for weeks killed every member of our SWAT team? But you survived with only minor injuries."
Ellison: "Yeah."
FBI Guy: "Alright. Take 4 weeks paid vaction. Here's the key to the company Mercedes, too. Also, here's the number of a hot girl I know who's loose and disease free."
Ellison: "I won't do it. I won't lead you to her."
Kromartie: "Not even if I say 'Pretty please?'"
Shirley Manson: "I'm only happy when it pees. Pour your urine down on me!"

Actually that is standard FBI policy following disasters such as that. The Agents involved are sent on adminstrative leave for a set period (usually a few weeks), but not for six months. If you listened closely the FBI is investigating Ellison believing he was involved with the murder of the strike team. The agent wished him luck several times and told him more than once that he was risking perjury.
That's a lot of pics.
Good episode.
- It was run-of-the mill (but still good Terminator fun) until Cameraon started screaming out for her life. I loved that part.
- I know they can't really get rid of Summer Glau, but John putting the chip back in was a dumb move.
- The best part part of all? The T-1000.I was gonna come in here and say that I'm fascinated by Corporate Lady, but revealing that she's a T-1000? That was quite a surprise. A part of me thinks they could have had a character like hers without that gimmick, but I'm just glad to see a T-1000 on the show, so I'm not too concerned about that right now. Plus, I'm willing to see where they go with this.
She also seems to be much more capable than the other terminators of independent thought.
It was six weeks.
^ The T-1000 series was designed for advanced infiltration (even more so than the T-800 series and the T-888). They were designed to be able to think on their feet and adapt - there is even a novel told from the perspective of one. It is so advanced that even Skynet (in the Terminator Expanded Universe) fears the T-1000 because it is more advanced and adaptive than it is (making Skynet somewhat obsolete). They can be programmed with entire cover stories and histories to aid in their infiltration. It seems to me that this is what they're doing.
What was up with the guy who interviewed Ellison? Either he's a Terminator or he's the most wooden man alive.
It's hard to appreciate that fact in hindsight, but it's something to pay attention to now that we know what she is.
yeay for a T-1000 debut! Boo for them wasting a T-1000 on Shirly Manson. :\
Am I the only one who hated the slo-mo in the beginning? I hate when they use slo-mo in action scenes...

I stand corrected. I think I know why I made the mistake though.
In the T2: Infiltrator series Jordan Dyson, an FBI Agent assigned to the Connor case and Miles Dyson's brother, takes a six month leave from the FBI after they close the Connor case because they believe them to be dead. He is immediately hired by CYBERDYNE SYSTEMS corporation as the Assistant Chief of Security under Serena Burns (An I-950 Infiltrator).
NX........you gonna post ratings in here too?
We usually do post the ratings in this thread. The mods try to limit the number of posts on a topic normally (though who knows this season).
