Grade "Allison From Palmdale"

Some are pointing out how Sarah didn't use the "code" when she called John too. They do have a point, to some extent, but I doubt they would take it this far.

The code was broken by Cromartie in last week's episode, so there really was no sense in the Connors still using it.


As for the ratings, they're low, but there hasn't been much erosion over the last couple of weeks. Maybe if Fox put the show in a better time slot...but that would make too much sense.

Does anyone know what the per-episode budget is and how that number compares to other shows on TV?
 
But it would still know how to act I'm sure

or it's just an empty shell. Hopefully we'll see the "daughter" before the series ends talking in particular.

I have a couple of theories relating to the daughter - none of which involve her being T-1001.

1.) She is an actual human being raised by the T-1001. We have seen that the new series terminators in the show can have full relationships with humans and trick them. It is entirely possible too that the kid is with nannies or the like most of the time and would have no indication that her mother isn't her mother.

2.) The child was born to the Weavers; however, she was modified by the T-1001 and made into an I-950. In the novels this was done to a human child (though still in the womb).
 
One question I have, when released from the cops, Cameron's told that the store isnt pressing charges. What would they press charges for? Failure to control a dodgy wheeled shopping trolley? Slightly damaging a couple of melons??
That struck me as strange, too. Very small incident for a store to be worrying about. They'd more likely be worried she had some kind of seizure in the store and was going to sue them blind, you know, because she was there at the time. This is California. :D
Ya know looking at this I'm angry. How the hell does a show like dancing with fucking stars get such unreal sky high ratings!??! My god!!! Apparently America is completely filled with stupid morons!:scream:

It would seem the international world at large is correct about us.
You should check out foreign TV sometime. It's wall to wall reality show crap. They rely on America to provide scripted drama (like the insanely popular CSI shows). The dancing show nonsense CAME from foreigners. America is the last bastion of scripted drama. It's basically down to us and the Latin Americans with their soaps.

The world is even stupider than Americans, that's the scary part. :rommie:

Which is why we can't afford to lose scripted shows because ain't nobody else producing them

While a cop might be a first responder even on a medical 911 call, assuming he wasn't just a beat cop who came on the scene I had a WTF moment when Cameron was in a holding cell and not a hospital for test.

Korean dramas seemed to be playing the Asian markets.
 
It was, somewhat, shown in the episode. I noticed upon rewatching it that she showed the cop all of the money that she had. He may have suspected that she was a dealer or a prostitute and took her in for that. Really though I have no idea.
 
Am I the only one who thinks that Busy Phillip's character might be the mother of Derek and Kyle Reese... it would explain while so much attention is being spent on her. Hell, at one point (when Sarah and the Baby-Daddy were walking in the corridor) I thought the Cop was going to get a call and identify himself as "Reese".
 
Average. Who'da thought they could turn the origin of Cameron into filler?

Blame Fox.
I do, but that doesn't change the fact that the show still sucks now. I'd rather Fox have just killed it outright like Firefly. Then I could rail against Fox's idiocy while still remembering how awesome the first season was. Instead, they've done something even worse and lobotomised it.
 
^ Partially correct. Fox has an executive on set of TSCC that got to approve storylines and make changes as they see fit.
 
I really wish they would hurry the F*ck up and tell the stories that we want. This Filler crap is even pissing me off. Its the terminator not Dawsons creek. I cant stand that Fat B!tch!
