    I just rewatched "Samson and Delilah" and "Automatic for the People". The morning after John reactivates Cameron, she states that John can't be trusted and may have upset certain people, not referring to Sarah or Derek. That said, I'm thinking that Cameron is the target, or more specifically John's feelings toward and his trust in her. Those certain people may feel that John is getting too close to metal. I think that Riley's mission is to put distance between John and Cameron. Make John begin to trust Riley and not Cameron and ultimately for Jesse and Riley to destroy her.

    Again this is only a theory. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all "pans out".

    It was a pretty good episode. Definitely not enough Cameron or John Henry / Weaver. The T-1001 storyline is the one I'm most interested in. Of course, I've always thought the T-1000's were the most awesome terminators. :techman:

    I'm somewhat concerned over the move to Fridays and the two month wait. It will probably be the death knell for this show.

    ^ Oops, been such a long time since I saw the first movie, that I forgot his small role.

    By the way, Garrett Dillahunt (Cromartie / John Henry) had a guest role as a Russian mob kingpin on Wednesday's episode of "Life" on NBC (my other favorite show). No, he hasn't taken out 20 FBI agents on that show yet. ;)

    ^ He was also on ER this morning (the reruns). He had jet black hair interestingly enough.

    OK question re: UFO.

    Alright...was this UFO an HK from the future, or was the whole SkyNet "implosion" if you will, and its consequence of Judgement Day and then the resultant sentient machine war of the future the result of an alien contact?

    ^ Good question. I wish I had a good answer for that one.

    Just wanted to add this to the discussion: the producers have said in the behind the scenes scenemaker that what Sarah saw was left open to interpretation for the viewers. She may have seen the UFO, she may have been having delusions. Anything is possible.

    Hunter-Killer. Skynet's non-Terminator killing machines, like those huge tanks and hovercraft in the future-war segments.

    Just saw a link to this episode on MSN, would I be making a mistake to watch it though I have not watched the rest of the series so far?

    Huge mistake. Start at the beginning.

    Well I guess that's it for the show for me then. Don't really have anyway to watch from the begining.

    That's the tough part about serialized television.

    You could watch it, but you'd be hard pressed to follow along considering this episode deals with three on-going arcs that you have no knowledge of.
