Check out the bottom right corner of the screen and there is some video clips from the Terminator Wondercon panel. Summer Glau, Shirley Manson and Josh Friedman attended.

This episode was fantastic. It was intentionally slow placed and inconspicuous, and then all of a sudden... *BAM* and everything goes to Hell. I like too how this is all the result of Sarah not having everyone stick together. If she had just trusted Derek and Cameron and let them come along with her, then perhaps a lot of this would have been avoided.
As always, I like what is going on with John Henry and Ellison. I find that to be one of the most interesting aspects of this show. Interested to see where they are going with Cyberdine and John Henry's "brother." I do like how they seem to be having all of the characters' stories converge.
Anyone notice that Charlie's bullet wounds were in the shape of the three dots?

Another good episode. Someone on this show is desparately trying to put things back on track. Three useless characters eliminated in three weeks? Also, I'm glad they've moved out of that house. They are fugitives. They should be out in the middle of nowhere. Suburbia was completely the wrong setting for this show. I hope there is a third season now, because it feels like the show is officially back on track.

Agreed. This was a great episode. I was disappointed that they brought Charlie back just to kill him off, though. I was content when he left for parts unknown.
I loved all the John Henry scenes.

Another great episode. I liked how they centered this one around Sarah (like they've wanted to), but not so much her internal mind. Also nice that they gave Cameron and Ellison decent screen time.

Thought this was an ok episode. Good nods to the main franchise plots.

Fucking awesome episode. I thought it was kind of slow to begin with, but the last 10 minutes more than made up for it.
Very sad to see Charlie as he was the last "normal" person left in the Connor world.
Did anyone else think that Cameron rebooted faster than the normal terminator? It seemed like seconds after she was shocked and then came back online?
I also loved the shout out to T2 and am incredibly curious as to who John Henry's "brother" is.
Why couldn't they have started the 2nd half of the season with these episodes?!?!?
EDIT
I just re-watched the Cameron scene when she was shocked after being doused with water. The camera lingered a bit too long on her RUBBER soled boots. Hence, I take it she was faking it and simply waited until the guy got close to choke him out.
Cameron ROCKS!

A really great episode! I didn't like Charlie getting knocked off; he was actually a cool character.
Did notice that they used the "jungle" scene before in the episode with the ROTC terminator getting killed by Derek. And the reference to "Dungeons and Dragons" episode where Derek and the other resistance troops were in that house being tortured,
Derek: "Why did you come back?"
Cameron: "You knew the location of the safehouse"
Derek: "Don't worry, I wouldn't have talked"
Cameron: "You've done it before"
And this episode further stoked my suspicions of Weaver working with John Connor as another terminator probed to find Cromartie/John Henry.

There's no clip of the spoiler reel. They talk about the scene with Cameron and John; that was jaw-dropping.

Good episode. Too bad about Charlie. He was a good character. The John Henry story line was very interesting too. I was under the impression that the "UFO" warehouse was part of the urinator's company and I thought her destruction of it was because it had become compromised. But I guess based on this episode that it was part of the rival AI's operation.
Thanks, I didn't get that reference. But to be fair she didn't say "You've done it before".
Cameron:"You knew the location of the safe house, John's location. If they tortured you..."
Derek: "That would never happen."
Cameron: "It has before."
So I didn't think she was talking about him specifically.

he's much to busy with his recent business ventures of selling beepers or that coffee machine in the Kmart basement.
Count me in the "it was awesome" camp. Though honestly the Weaver/Ellison/John Henry stuff is the most interesting to me. Really curious about how it all fits together.

Just posted ratings for Terminator. You can see where it ranked in the top ratings sticky. Still not very good.

Theory time... the guy that electrocuted Cameron talked to a guy on the phone who knew how to get into a terminator, and supposedly knew how thanks to his brother. Then we see the reference to Dyson and Cyberdine. Could it be that Miles Dyson's brother is out there continuing the project?

I thought this was another good ep.

I wonder if using Joe Morton's image would have cost the producers more than they were willing to spend. After all, all black people look the same to us whities anyway, right?

I think the picture of Dyson from last night's episode was the some one they used in the pilot, so I figured they wanted to leave their options open for revisiting Dyson at some point in flashback or whatever, and went with an actor that was available (Jackie Chiles) and more affordable.

Seriously?
It isn't obvious that John Henry's "brother" is Skynet?
They practically beat you over the head with it already.
