Another enjoyable episode as far as i'm concerned. I'm loving this season, the show is definitely one of my favourites on TV right now.
 
I don't know, but I'm getting a real Heroes season 2 vibe this season. Riley as the new West certainly doesn't help.
 
Or perhaps we are looking at Unit 1 and Unit 2. Maybe Unit 1 developed emotions and feelings and Unit 2 was sent to destroy her?

that would be real advancement if Unit 1 could cry. I think the real Cameron was captured. She knew John personally. Somehow when Skynet makes the terminator Cameron John just shrugs it off and reprograms her to go back in time

Could be.

I really think that Cameron is going to end up being an I-950 series Infiltrator or s TS-300 Series Infiltrator. They were humans that were made into Cyborgs.


Would you like to know more?

I-950 Series Infiltrator
TS-300 Series Infiltrator

I lean more toward her being a TS-300.

I think Derek is one of those. He could have been replaced in that basement "flashback" scene from season 1. Something happened in there obviousy. And, I don't think it's a coincidence that the same music was used in that scene and the one where River does ballet by herself.
 
Above average.

It was interesting that Cameron couldn't come to John's rescue in this episode, so the little twerp had to save is own bacon. It was interesting to watch Cromartie sink (I thought he was being swept away by the ocean's current). Then, I wasn't surprised when he appeared on the beach later.

It was a shame to see Michelle die (NO! Not Penney :scream: )

Seems to me that the writers are building a slow story arc now.
 
Ok, it's official, about the only thing I like about Riley is her...erm...ample chest. But the character, her interaction with others, how she makes John connor act, all of it is annoying and a detriment to the show in a big way. This show does not need her "perky" type of crap.

I thought this was an average epsiode, not bad, I liked the "mousetrap" bit with charlies wife, but certainly the weakest ep of this season so far.

I also liked the little things at the beginning, with cameron noticing the house sinking and wanting to terminate the bird in the chimney. Would have loved it if after John sarcastically asks if the sinking threatens his security she had been all like "Dont be a smartass John".

I think Riley is some sorta Future Meta-Human from a peaceful future sent back to ensure a peaceful future.


Or I could be too paranoid.

I don't even like THAT about her.

I dunno. They look saggy or something.

But it could be that the character annoys me so much that I just blot everything else about her out and nothing is left but hate.

It's ok, I think it's a safe bet River will kill her to foster more inner conflict in the story. Either that, or Shirley Manson will look like River and do it.
 
I gave this one an average.
This season has done nothing for me so far.

A few things stuck out as just stoopid.

1. In all of John’s supposed training he hasn’t been taught to not run into a dead end?

2. Why did Charley have such a dumfounded look on his face when he saw the blood on his wife’s back? OK she’s hurt and that will upset you, I get that but do SOMETHING about it.
OMG she’s bleeding out! OK mister trained Paramedic basic BLS says apply pressure to the wound, did he do that? No.
Hell you did major surgery on Derek the first season, now you have no idea what to do?
It’s also best to have her run around and get her heart pumping harder to make he bleed out faster.

3. Sarah stop! Stop why? Isn’t time of the essence? Shouldn’t he be saying/screaming drive faster!! ? Derek just sits there and doesn't try to help...at all?

4. Sarah would have never, ever, EVER stopped. That was just a B.S. to try and build drama, which failed miserably.

5. Cromartie sets up this elaborate trap and doesn’t stick around to kill anyone? Come on.

6. Sarah walks into the trap knowing it’s a trap? Again, Come on.

7. Cromartie would have just emptied the clip at John.

8. If the Terminators don't kill John I might hunt his Braty, spoiled rotten, moody punk ass down and do it myself.
 
I gave it an Average, so far the weakest ep this season, but still entertaining. I'm starting to feel that maybe this series is dumbing down the terminators a bit, they don't seem as menacing as they did in the films.

Next week looks really good, looking forward to it.
 
I rated it excellent. this was the first episode I truly enjoyed this season, as I thoroughly enjoyed how Cromartie played Sarah and crew. Also I join in with everyone in saying that Riley is definitely annoying and she needs to go ASAP.
 
Perhaps a bit over-elaborate (shades of Wile E. Coyote), but I appreciate Cromartie showing degrees of strategy and sophistication in planning traps and killing. Because, at least for me, his stoically marching about and shooting the place up every episode for how ever many seasons this show has, would get old.

I don't have a problem with Riley as a character, but her integration into the story so far is a bit clumsy. I like that she looks like a teen girl (albeit a bit old) and not a teen actress.

I'm most interested in seeing how the Weaver and Agent Elison plot line plays out. I can't see what her motives are at this point, or even what side she plays on, and that's a good thing.

Above Average
 
Wow, Cromartie was sure busy on Monday. In between kidnapping women, setting up fake bombs and chasing after John Connor, he found the time to intercept Brett Favre and return it for a touchdown.
 
Hahaha, pretty much.
The episode was pretty busy, but I guess it was an interesting way to get rid of the wife while also developing the other characters.
 
I just don't want to see overly-tanned pregnant chick that undressed and that splayed again.
yeah seroiusly, ick! & why is she still hanging around the house? didnt she rent it to them?

as a female viewer I really appreciate that they have a teen girl character that doesnt look like a toothpick perfect model!
