True. My first thought was Duke Nukem Forever wasn't even released! John Connor must have been very disappointed when he went to the local video games store.

Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson is venturing into acting in a big way with a regular role next season on Fox's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles."
On "Sarah Connor," produced by Warner Bros. TV, Scottish musician Manson will play Catherine Weaver, the CEO of a cutting-edge high-tech company.
The sci-fi series, an offshoot from the "Terminator" feature franchise, is returning for a second season in the fall after launching in midseason as the highest-rated new scripted series of the 2007-08 season.
It stars Lena Headey as Sarah Connor, Thomas Dekker as her son John Connor and Summer Glau as terminator Cameron Phillips.
Formed in Madison, Wis., Garbage broke on the national scene in 1995 with its self-titled debut album, which spawned the modern rock hit "Only Happy When It Rains" and has gone double platinum. The quartet, which also includes Nirvana producer Butch Vig on drums, has released three other albums, the most recent in 2005.

Maybe she'll drink milk?
She could teach a dog new tricks.
I hear she's only happy when it rains.
Temptation waits, but she waits for nobody.
Eh, this post is queer!

I hope this so called love story stops before it has a chance to begin, though. Fn ALF!

Shirley certainly looks the part of a 1000 series, though it's a pity she can't act to save her life.
Bear McCreary can do some weird things with folk music. Remember what he did to All Along the Watchtower in the Battlestar Galactica finale?

How do they know that her chip isn't damaged in such a way that she'll vacillate between needing to kill John and needing to save him with the blowing of the wind?
burlivesleftnut wrote:Hmmm, I don't know what you are griping about. I didn't get the impression that getting rammed between two semis changed Cameron. I got the feeling that it was John's tinkering with her chipset. Sure it could have used more explanation, but that was the impression and my plus one got. As far as Cameron going back to her original programming, I thought it was a bitchin' plot twist.
Retardo_Montalban wrote:The reason Cameron didn't shoot John wasn't because she ran a test or that he rubbed some tooth paste on her brain chip, but because she has grown a soul. It was John's act of total faith in Cameron that allowed her to feel/evolve sympathy and over-ride her Terminator programming by her own free will.

Interesting version in this show.

RaulMonkey wrote:I get what Herc was saying about Sarah and John being 90 IQ points behind the movie versions of themselves. I guess it's sort of believeable that John has some kind of special insight into the personality of Terminators that made him trust Cameron enough to hand her the gun, both because of everything that he's been through, and because it could be something he was just born with which he will later exploit to lead the resistance... but that's me explaining it for the show instead of the show illustrating it for me. It didn't really feel earned either, with the result of John seeming like a complete moron for risking his life the way that he did.
RaulMonkey wrote:Hmm, I think I missed it if John tinkered with Cameron's chip. I thought he couldn't even get the chip out before she was crying at him that she "ran a test" and was all better. Surely you don't mean that just scratching around with a tool on the outside of her cranial endoskeleton was supposed to fix her. Did it show John messing around with the chip once it was out?
Edit: endo/exoskeleton.

She totally had her terminate orders in blazing red on her vision screen deal. It was only when john offered her the gun that she decided to 86 her orders.

i like this idea better than "john fixed her chip" but, how would john have known she would grow a soul and not kill him? maybe he thought he fixed her chip, but in reality it was her soul that kept her from killing him. we had hints of her growing beyond her programming last year (remember ballerina terminator?) but i don't think john would be so easily convinced that she has feelings now. if so, it kinda makes his character a putz. i don't mind the growing-a-soul angle, but i would expect the human characters, including john, to be pretty damn skeptical of it until it was proven beyond a doubt.
