There has been a lot of interviews and other promotional things to psych everybody up for the new season of TSCC. Out of all the ones that I have seen, it really, really looks like this season has a lot of potential. Oh yeah, and Shirley Manson as Skynet's CEO... CRAZY!

I believe she is the lead singer of a band called Garbage.

This season looks like a ride.

Speaking of "rides" . . . anyone think John is going to do Carmeron? She loves him now and they've bonded somewhat.

Does she have the proper anatomy?

Keeping it PG13 of course (or whatever the TV code is), but I'm thinking that it is FOX network after all.

It does give a new definition to 'Cybersex'.

Edit to add: And if I was John the one question I would be asking is "Why haven't I yet?"

Great episode. Plots, great characters, twists, intrigue, wimmins, action, surprises, wimmins, anticipation, irony, pacing, wimmins and great fun.

Say, did anyone notice Charlie's wife sure looks a lot like Linda Hamilton?

Agent Ellison is excellent.

Heh, great post. I wondered about this one. An advanced model??

Rival to Cameron. Real chick to keep John's sanity.

Not to get too graphic, but Cameron could utilize liquid metal in her privates if John decides to engage.

Riley, if real . . . is REAL and very hawt.

The real question is ~ who talks dirty during sex and how realistic is it.

Aside: better to enjoy this now - cause in the future, there is Arturian poontang and it doesn't matter if it's male or female!!!
Sci-fi and the future really does broaden the mind!!! LOL!

Interesting questions that must be resolved.

Seriously, next weeks episode looks like a can't miss. Cameron's origins explained is something I've been looking for.

I just watched episode #3 of season 2 and after not being real impressed with the first 2 eps, I'm excited about the series again.

As for the new blonde, I'm not sure what she is all about but I hope she's not from the future. There are already too many incursions from the future IMO. All I know is this, I find her annoying. We'll see how she goes. That's a good hypothesis on her origins, Rhu. But I have to correct you one thing good sir, the correct term is Arcturian poontang. But it doesn't matter if its... nevermind.

I thought she did.

Haha, she's an all American typical teenage girl without the angst baggage. Totally my kind of girl. Perhaps she's annoying because she's like, "Hey I like this guy and I'm not the type to fawn or gush. But I'll give him a try to see if he's for me."

This type may bother some boys (and you older men, like Omote), but man that's a cool chick, if you ask me.

Agree about her being someone from the future, unless . . . she's a real person and not a 'bot.

Heh, of course if she's a robot, then she's more advanced than that witch CEO redhead!!!

Whatever happened to John's girlfriend from last session? I think she was his lab partner at one point.

A plot point completely dropped. We will probably never know what happened to the weird girl who always had to go home right away. The story has moved the Connors to a new town anyways.

The current bad-guy terminator on this show is played by the actor Garret Dillahunt. Personally, as the 2nd season has started, Garret Dillahunt really plays the part of an uncaring robot pretty well. If you look closely he even has a very robotic/stiff srot of walk and his movements are spot on. I know it's probably not a very difficult role, but just wanted to comment on his creepiness this season playing an uncaring killing machine.

Whats up with here spending the night the first time she comes to visit.

I mean HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

My kids will have no closed doors with visitors....ESPECIALLY once puberty has passed.

Does she not have any parents?

Yeah, she's just way too cool for any teenage girl I have ever met.

Where is all the self esteem, drama queen, and other issues EVERY teenage girl has?

Tremendously interesting and well executed episode.

I really like that they used some mundane real life situations, i.e. the nice pregnant lady juxtaposed against the sheer crazy sci-fi drama of the basis of the program. And while doing so, they can relate that to Sarah's history/past/present and relationship with her son.

Heh, and the Cameron/Alison thing was top notch - even using the time travel angle when she calls her mom.

Agent Ellison and the robot biotch scenes were cool and thought provoking with regard to machines.

It reminded me of some stuff I read many years ago about the human being vs. a machine.

The idea that the best machines don't last very long even with mucho maintenance and part replacement ~ compared to a human who functions 24/7/265 X 70+ years!!!

Oh and why/how can a machine be perfect . . . when designed/programmed/built by humans. And let's say a machine, may in the future design/program/build another machine - wouldn't the same human flaws be present or possible??

Great writing and production.

Oh heck, not meaning to question your smarts. I'm just sayin' about the TV programming for the west coast. Seems goofy at times.

Well, if they had the TV shows play at the same time on both coasts, I'd be watching Sarah Connor at 5 pm. Not too convenient for those with 8-5 jobs, I must say. thus the delay in broadcasting.

Damn good episode. I wonder what Sarah is going to do when she finds out there is another t-1000 running around.

That said the infiltrator model is something that showed up in the novels that spanned T2 to T3. But they are obviously using a different method for their creation since the infiltrators in the novels were grown from human eggs.

The episode was pretty good. But I'm getting tired of the Ellison Vs. Shirley Manson angle. Every episode is them meeting in a glass office building and talking about the same stuff.

To be honest, I wished they hadn't given up that much information about the Shirley Manson character in the first episode of season 2.

Oh well.

We'll see where the war goes from here. Next week, Patrick Kilpatrick as a terminator. That guy only plays the same roles, whether robot or person. Ha!
