In this episode John discovers that Skynet is the result of Chuck de Nomolos sending fake robot Bill and Teds back in time to destroy the real Bill and Teds to prevent world peace.

I missed that one.

since he was already mentioned a few posts prior...
anybody want to buy a Cleatus (the fox-bot) action figure?

I found the Terminator/Cleatus promos to be pretty entertaining. Should be interesting to see how they affect ratings tonight...

Pretty cool episode, I continue to be impressed. This may have been addressed before, but has anyone else suspected that they made the good terminator a hot young girl because there may be some kind of weird relationship between Cameron and John? I can't be the only one to have thought of this happening...

I thought this was a pretty bad episode. I want to like this show and I don't nitpick about things (though, when I come here and read the threads I stop and say "Yeah, why the fuck did that happen?!?!").
But the "story" between Sarah, John and the Terminator was a TREMENDOUS waste of time. The only thing I thought was remotely interesting tonight was the whole FBI/"Terminator-from-the-past-that-really-shouldn't-have-been-able-to-tag-along-to-the-future-thing-but-did" storyline...and even that was lagging. In addition, that young black kid that was trying to show up the older FBI agent was grating..

Unless I'm mistaken that actor was the one that played cyborg in "Smallville"? How ironic lol

The model on the new terminator was a T-888 according to the chick terminator's HUD...if anybody is interested.
This show started messing with time paradoxes here - what if that metal was used to create her - as she said she was created at that location. its a long shot, but are they going with the (1) Back to the Future, T2 version of time travel - ie people sent back will disappear if an event in the past happens or (2) the Star Trek "bubble" theory which seemingly protects people as they travel backward. who knows.

What was the significance of John's hand at the end? It looked like he couldn't close it or something.

I usually give shows a broad suspension of disbelief but this show is really starting to piss me off.
- Treos don't shatter when dropped from 3 feet, trust me I've done much worse to mine and it's just fine
- The kid can pick a padlock while unable to get direct visualization of the tumblers but then lets a simple chain foil him because he can't be bothered to turn the hasp 90 degrees?
- Let's take the key off the Terminator's neck to pick a 60s era lock instead of using previously demonstrated lockpicking skills to easily bypass the lock for the blast door.
- Let's teach your son how to drive stick while we're trying to make a daring getaway. Brilliant.
- A bank vault won't stop a Terminator but a blast door will given that he has plenty of time to pound his way through the door.

Cmon Lurker, you are being unreasonable. I suspect that a Nuclear Blast Door would be stronger than a bank vault door.
The "60's" era lock was the lock to a nuclear bomb shelter. I'm guessing the lock mechanism would be a little more advanced than a Uhaul rent a lock.

I thought it was another good episode. I laughed when the Treo broke from only a couple feet up, but overall I had no complaints. I hope this one lasts.
And I hope we see more of the FBI storyline--it's really good, too.
