fembuckOkay, so the episode is actually called "Gnothi Seauton" but I like my title better, lol. The important thing is that I'm continuing to dig Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
First off, Cameron is love. "Why are diamonds a girl's best friend?" lol, oh Cameron. Her little laugh after Enrique was all like "you don't talk much do you?" was hilarious. But I think the best moment was Silent!HotGirl checking her out and Cameron then mimicking her pose leaning against the hood of the car. I do not approve of the make-over Silent!HotGirl gave her though (and the horribleness of it puts me firmly on the side of Silent!HotGirl doing it just to touch Cameron). Sarah's little WTF look during the make-up scene cracked me up too.
I also loved that Sarah and Cameron are like the odd couple and a buddy cop team all rolled into one. I'm totally thrilled that they're letting the two characters spend so much screen time together. The femslasher in me also loved that Cameron was following Sarah around like a little puppy. Seriously, every time Sarah went into another room, Cameron followed her there like "Where did the pretty go? Oh, here's where the pretty went!". Her offering to give Sarah a diamond was also 'awwww' worthy.
I'm liking what the writers and Lena are doing with Sarah as well. Some are complaining that she's not the unrelenting badass that she was in T2, but truthfully, you can't center a show around a character that is that hard. I'm glad they're making her a little more human and accessible. The little touch to John's cheek, smiling when she was talking about The Wizard of Oz, etc. In this episode especially they managed to make her very complicated and fascinating, and I hope that complexity continues. FemRambo would not be nearly as interesting as the nuanced character they're building up.
That being said, I love the touches of badass Sarah we got. The motorcycle scene was hot, and I floved her just straight up pushing Cameron out of the window and then hightailing it out of there. She was outta that window before John, and she was like at the end of the street before John and Cameron even started running! LOVE!
John was also way more interesting, if also stupid this episode. I totally understood him leaving the house and going to the mall though, being couped up for three days would make anyone, even John Connor throw caution to the wind a little, though going to Dennis the Beeper Kings house was a pretty stupid. (Digression: Hi, Sonia Walger ... you're really hot!) I liked that John was a little more rebellious and independent this episode instead of being the Momma's Boy he was in the pilot.
And just because it was awesome, I loved Sarah's little "Jenny, you ignorant slut!" routine when Cameron was totally gonna killinate that cops ass. Lena and Summer really work well together.
All, in all ...so pretty um, I mean ... cannot wait until the next episode!

Date: 2008-01-20 01:21 am (UTC)Yeah, I'm liking that they're building up a mythology for this time line. After the pilot I was kind like "what the hell is this show gonna be about every week", so I'm liking these little elements that they're dropping in.
Pretty cool fight scene with Cam and that Terminator. Wonder why it didn't recognize her model when it scanner her?
Well, she said she's not like any model John's ever met before, so I'm guessing she's a new model, probably built by John which is why she's so human-like.
I just hope they don't go the super-creepy route of having Cameron be a replica of like what John's wife in the future looks like or something. I couldn't handle to ick of him sending a robot version of his wife back for his teenage son to make eyes at.
I laughed so hard when Sarah just dumped Cameron right out the window.
That was good comedy right there.
Here's hoping for a long season, as well as some fics (cough!) ;-)
I'll second that. And I'm sure this show will inspire a least a few more stories ;)
