I just got that kind of vibe after watching the 20 minutes of Jesus imagery that came before it. what ever explanation is the correct one, it's going to be flawed as hell. I mean seriously, can you really reprogram a computer brain from the future with just a pipe cleaner and spit? I didn't even see a palm pilot that John could have used to reprogram that chip. Maybe I just want this show to be the western version of Ghost In The Shell.

I wouldn't be surprised.
Too bad, really. This show is dumb far too often (even moreso, I think, than Heroes), but it does have flashes of coolness. And the potential was through the roof.
Good concept, bad execution.

Hahaha. This one can run and run I tell thee.![]()
Tech Wood is my favourite.

Derek getting shot within the first 10 minutes of the episode was something that I did NOT see coming.

It didn't get the prerequisite slow-motion shot followed by the other characters' anguished reactions (also in slow motion).
It happened and the action continued. Only after the fight was over did they go back briefly and address it.
That was awesome.

John penetrated Cameron!

If John Connor isn't needed for the Resistence to form, then what have the last three movies and TV series been about? It seems if he is not there, the Resistence forms anyway. Way to invalidate an entire franchise.
The Fans Have Spoken: Save Terminator!
Today 6:50 AM PDT by Jennifer Godwin
Congratulations to our 2009 Save One Show winner, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles!
In case you don't know, Save One Show is E!'s annual opportunity for fans to determine which TV series in danger of cancellation most needs to be saved. Past winners have included Angel, One Tree Hill and Veronica Mars. This year, in true killer-cyborg fashion, Terminator kicked ass, with 53 percent of the final round vote. Chuck was the runnerup with 25 percent (#savechuck), followed by Dollhouse with 10 percent, Life with eight percent and Privileged with four percent.
What about Lost Causes We Love? With 34 percent of the vote, Kyle XY was the winner of our first-ever Lost Causes We Love competition to determine which totally-canceled show should be rescued from oblivion. Our dearly departed Pushing Daisies was runner-up with 21 percent.
When the results of your 300,000 votes came in, we called up Terminator showrunner and executive producer Josh Friedman with the good news and he told exclusively, "I think I speak for everybody who works on the show when I say thank you to the fans for their tireless work to save our show. I think it really goes to show that there's a really hard-core, emotional, passionate fanbase for Terminator that is larger and more widespread than people give us credit for."
Read on for the full SOS and Lost Cause results, plus find out how being a Terminator boss is like being Brangelina and, most importantly, the exclusive word from Josh about the future of the show...
COMPLETE RESULTS
SAVE ONE SHOW: FINAL ROUND
Chuck: 25%
Dollhouse: 10%
Life: 8%
Privileged: 4%
Terminator: 53%

James Middleton: "You know, Josh Friedman and I have talked a lot about this (and I mean A LOT) and he recently tweeted about it in the wake of the VM (Veronica Mars) excitement. The issue is that the current owners of the franchise seem to have no interest in reviving TSCC. And if they were interested, they would not need Kickstarter to finance the movie. There are well-funded entities that have previously expressed strong interest in reviving TSCC and the franchise owners (Annapurna Pictures) - through their reps - have passed on the idea. WBTV no longer has the sole right to restart the series or to do a spinoff, so the participation of the current franchise owners is critical. But they seem to be focussed on making Terminator movies at the moment which is not shocking or even a surprise. Josh and I would love to do a TSCC movie, if it were possible. A movie would be more feasible to schedule with the cast."
With Genysis coming up, folks are talking Terminator again. There's discussions on the original movie, concerns over this rebooting the whole thing and comparisons between Linda Hamilton and Emilia Clarke already abounding. However, all this is simply reminding me of something I've long held to: That the best part of the entire franchise is Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Lasting only two season and a total of 31 episodes (its first season one of many shows hit hard by the 2007 Writer's Strike), the series is more than just a fantastic sci-fi action show. It's also a brilliant example of how best to use the source material of a franchise and spin it in fantastic new ways, deepening what you know and leading to a fantastic final product.
