[IHateMyJob2004]

YES! Best show on TV! Better than the current season of Heroes

This is slightly more detail about tonight episode. Potential spoilers (not really though)

Cameron's secret night life is revealed as she seeks knowledge in a library with a friend who shares her interests, while a Terminator sent back to a wrong point in time results in a drastic alteration of the time line. Meanwhile, John and Riley's relationship is beginning to blossom.

Cameron centric, it's been a while.

And is it me or does Riley look way older than 18? She's suppose to be even younger in this show, and my views have already been tainted by 16 year olds played by 25 year olds.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

25 year olds playing 16 year olds is common for a reason. talent pool.

I love this show. Does anybody else besides me get the feeling Ellison is going to start having a "relationship" with Catherine .

The robbed that smile steal something from the thief.

Awesome line from Othello in tonght's episode.

Edit: "You kids today with your rock 'n roll and your obsession with medieval siege weapons."

Also a good line.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Interesting episode so far...

 

[Zim Hosein]

episode IMO!

So the T888 that was supposed to be sent to 2010 to kill the governor ended up in 1920? Interesting that he goes through all that work to be positioned in the correct place for an assassination 90 years later. I guess she'll use his chip to fix hers? I like the bit at the end - I wonder how many times she's done this.

I thought her damaged chip was actually her "brain?"

Usery at its finest. For a minute there, I thought she actually cared. So why is the Governor important...

And did they miss an oppurtunity or what? "Give me your clothes"? That was just asking for "I need your shoes, shirt and pants." or something like that.

Great episode, can't say it's one of the best of the season though, which is saying something.

she did care in her own way, she let him know his cancer was back and it was still small

Is that one a quote from something?

And it proves one thing, the writing this season really is much better than during the writers strike.

My impression was that to truely disable the T-888 that she needed the chip to removed and destroyed independent of the body. Just to be sure. The only thing I didn't understand was the stabbing motion that she made.

I loved how Stark tells Rudolph Valentino he should have left Lady Di since she was a liability, and he gives Stark this "WTF?" look. So many good lines, there's a lot more humor this season.

I also loved the low camera angle when Cameron was walking into that building at the end. I don't know if it's her hair, clothes or what but she keeps looking better every episode. :thumbsup:

It's really starting to look like Riley will be taking a dirt nap courtesy of Cameron shortly.

And of course we got another Wizard of Oz reference.

 

[mchammer187]

definitely has become my 2nd favorite show right behind Lost

I loved how Cameron smiled when she thought of shooting the people that robbed the house.

Maybe it's because she's a 25 years old from the future pretending to be a teenager?

who is the library guy in the wheel chair? he looks familiar, maybe he did a guest stint on another show watch recently. i can't pinpoint it. can't find his credit anywhere for this episode either.

Found it. Billy Lush and he was in CSI two weeks ago.

 

[venkman]

Good episode. It's always nice to get a well done bottle episode.

 

[child of wonder]

Clearly a "filler" episode of sorts but I really enjoyed it. It makes sense that all this time travel could cause a machine or person to be sent to the wrong time. It was an interesting mystery and kind of cool seeing how Stark took steps to ensure the future would unfold as it was supposed to so he could complete his mission.

 

[lupi]

a pretty good non story arc episode. of course now we have to figure WTF they were going after the govinator.
