I'm continuing to love this show. Seriously, I'm so happy it's good.

1. Summer Glau rocks. Like many people I think that for me Cameron has been "awww schmoopy, you so cute with your big eyes and robotic walk" since the beginning of the series, but this episode Cameron freaked me the hell out in an awesome way. She was very unsettling (and hot)  for most of the episode, which is really how we should be feeling about her more then "awww, so cute *pinches cheeks*".

For that reason the scenes with Cameron and Charley were actually some of my favorite in the episode. "Little girl, you freak me.....the hell out," indeed Charley. Indeed.

I don't think for a moment that Cameron is going to betray Sarah and John, but with the "Sometimes they go bad. No one knows why," line, and the chopping up Terminator's, and the slipping microchips into her pockets, Cameron really made me uncomfortable for the first time and I give major kudos to Summer for that. 

Also, Cameron standing in the doorway in her jumpsuit after blowing away the Terminator that went bad was like the hottest thing ever. *looks around for cold water*

2. Kyle is pretty.

3. Future!John is interesting. I was interested to see that he seemed to be revered and respected by his soldier's but not really loved by them. He was like this mystically shadow-y figure that operated from the depth who everyone knew about and was in awe of, but it was a cold, aloof sort of wonder. The "John doesn't have any friends" line was very telling too. Innnnnnnteresting.

Also, I wonder if it means anything that they had Dekker playing John during the "Look! It's a time travel room!" scene? Was it just because Derek was all drugged up and the future was merging with his present, or is a fairly young John in the future who has maybe jumped a head a lot, or was it just a cheap stand-in because they haven't hired anyone for Future!John yet? *scratches head* I'm guessing it's because Derek was drugged up though since we've seen an older John in the movies, and they've just hired Christian Bale to play a manly John in the next movie (though I realize that movie will likely have little to nothing to do with the show).

4. As much as I liked Charley, I'm glad that there is no lingering romance plot between him and Sarah. I won't have to cringe every time I see him now.

5. Lena is so cute. When Sarah was talking about Kyle and his kind eyes and had that smile on her face I was just like "awwwwww". She was like a sixteen year old girl.

6. I was actually very pleased with the reveal that it was Derek who killed Andy. Derek didn't really seem that badass despite his stubble and tattoos, so I was pleased to see that he was the one that did it. It's also interesting that the first thing he did upon meeting Sarah was lie to her about not killing Andy.

7. So, who thinks that Cameron-model Terminator's were in the Torture Chamber of Classical Music? *raises hand* I'm thinking brainwashing was going on since they let the men go. Also, I'm very interested to know what was up with the music. Was there a human involved in whatever was going on?

8. BRING BACK TARISSA! I miss her.


There's probably more than could be said, but I'm sleepy so I bid you all adieu!

LENA HEADEY!

who's tarissa?

and I'm more weirded out by derek
he doesn't seem quite right - also, he lied to sarah and apparently didn't even try to destroy the turk or even look for it

and I agree with the not going evil bit *nods*
seems like she's a very different terminator than all the others, possibly the only one of her kind even (one that can think for itself but still do sort of what it was meant to do) and that she might be dealing with a conflict of interests (wipe out her own 'species,' or doom humanity to be nearly wiped out instead)

Myles Dyson's wife. She was in a few episodes of the show. Basically the actress that plays her is awesome, and she has good chemistry with Headey.

Yeah, Derek creeps me out. I don't like him, and I think he's definitely up to something. I don't think he likes John or Sarah very much. He's kind of interesting though.

Definitely. I think their totally going along those lines. I loved that in the episode about grieving we saw her seem to realize the ramifications of what she was doing by taking the other Terminator's brain chip out. I really can't wait to see what they do with Cameron, especially because I know Summer will knock it out of the ball park.
