Terminator: TSCC... TERMINATED BY The T-FOX!

[quote name='JolietJake']Here's my theory for the show. Terminators will keep coming after the Connors, they will keep defeating the terminators and then later reprogramming them, by the time skynet is a reality, they will have their own army of terminators!:lol:[/quote]

I like how the show hasn't been all about Terminators trying to kill John. :) The last 2 episodes they focused more on other terminators trying to complete other missions. IMO so far so good.:applause: I don't know how much longer they can keep me interested in the show tho.:roll:
 
[quote name='indy2029']Was that Brian Austin Green playing Derrick Reese?! Oh man... That may kill it for me![/quote]

It was indeed. Thought he did a decent job.

And I agree with a post above about needing more specs and lingo. T-888 and all that. I liked how Reece said "I won't be the poor bastard who brings metal down on the Connors". More slang from the future, please.
 
The T-888 was the successor of the T-850. It was made to be faster, stronger, and more resistant to damage. When knocked offline, it could reboot in two minutes. It also had the ability to control its body by remote should the CPU be separated from the main endoskeleton. Among its primary CPU, there are two more additional backup CPUs with the same neural net architecture

Looks like they sprinkled enough specs to start a wiki entry :D

I never saw the pilot, but I'm glad I got in when I did. This show is very episodic, I would think it would be difficult to watch for someone jumping in.
 
BTW what was up with Cameron writing the letter (presumably to the suicide girl) at the end of the show?

T2 hit it just right - in the desert Arnold played with the kids and his face occassionaly contorted to show emotion, but it was still artificial mimicry more then anything else.

If they start humanizing Cameron I'm going to lose interest...

I caught up by watching the entire thing on Fox. Come to think of it I can't recall the last time I saw a new episode of a television show when it aired. And I got cut off from bitorrent back in September

So...if Cameron only pulled out the one in his head, she only slowed him down, not halted him.

But wouldn't she know about the other 2 CPUs and yank those out too? I agree with the other poster, looks like she's amassing parts to make a new Terminator.
 
Anyone else think
that the guidance counselor was intimate with the dead girl? He seems a bit shady to me.

Also liked looking through Cameron's eyes near the end of the episode. Can't remember if that's happened before but we can see that she doesn't see like the other terminators.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I think that's what the writers were intimating. I don't really get the "It's huge" part though-? What was she so upset at? I didn't see the picture real well.

I have no idea either

The image on the school hallway was a painted door with a bra hanging off the doorknob suggestively - I think there were some embracing shadows behind the door too (the top half of a door was one of those frosted glass windows). It was an obvious suggestion that whoever it was aimed at was sexually promiscuous.

So I the suicide girl was saying that the pic was huge in that you couldn't miss seeing it while walking down the hallway - plus it received alot of attention.

The whole thing is a bit involved for a sub-plot but I suppose it works.
 
I just take it as an inside joke. Something you'd get if you were attending the school. Something that we the viewer don't fully understand because we're new.
 
allegedly fox isn't happy with the numbers they are getting...latest episode came in 3rd place. Considering the high costs with the show, they aren't happy with that. It is #1 in all age demo's for new drama though...here is a link to the info

Question: Oddly enough, we don't see much coverage of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Is Fox satisfied with the ratings? — Dusty
Ausiello: Doesn't sound like it. One of my House moles tells me that the network is panicking over SCC's relatively soft ratings (this week's ep finished third in its time slot, with roughly eight million viewers) because the show's budget is so astronomical. "They should have given that show the post-Super Bowl slot instead of us," says my spy. "They needed it; we didn't." A Fox insider, meanwhile, points out that SCC is the No. 1 new drama in every demo.

awww With the writers strike over, you would think that it they would be planning on producing more episodes. Guess Summer Glau is cursed...she got was on Firefly, that got axed by Fox, now she's on T:TSCC and that might be axed as well. :(

Why can't Sci-Fi have the balls (and money) to pick these shows up?
 
well it is one thing if the show was so expensive...when it costs a ton to make, you would want better then 3rd out of 4 place in the timeslot. (espically with some of its competition being repeats due to the strike.) Maybe it would have done better airing after 24, as prison breaks numbers have dropped each season. 8 million is a solid number to put up, but if that only brings in 3rd place, the ad revenue will go elsewhere.

[quote name='anomynous']tonights episode was the best yet[/QUOTE]

Tonight's episode was confusing. More questions than answers.

-What is Cameron doing with all that flesh?

-Why is Cameron hiding the CPU from the Conner's?
Theory is that Cameron has a sub-directive. To preserve the existence of Skynet by any means possible. Like I mentioned before she might be the one who brings Skynet online.

-What was the terminator doing with Reese and the other people including Andy in that still standing building? That scene kinda creeped me out.

-The time displacement room is suppose to be in Skynet's most heavily fortified facility. The Reese brother's weren't suppose to be sent until Skynet was on the verge of being destroyed.

I would say at the very least, I'm finally convinced they have an interesting story to tell. Looking forward to the next episode.

[quote name='Rei no Otaku']I just want to know what the hell the machines were doing with those people in the building.[/QUOTE]

or for that matter what was that "Engine" they were hauling around?

Looked like a engine from one of their flying HK's.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']I just want to know what the hell the machines were doing with those people in the building.[/quote]

Call me crazy but i think Reese is going to end up being one of the bad guys. I think it will have to do with whatever those machines did to him in that room. I also think that Cameron has a Sub-mission that the Connors cannot know about but that John Connor in the future told her(it) to do. We'll have to wait 7 days before we get some answers:cry:

An HK was hauling it away in one scene, and it was far larger than that.

I might be mistaken but it seemed like they hauled one of those away everytime they brought back someone from that room.

Agreed. I think Conner needs judgment day to occur...other wise he won't exist. I guess either no one knows that his father is Kyle Reese, and that it's him that knocks Sara up.

There is more to this than what we are seeing. It's very confusing atm.

Yea that's what I thought too.

Torture/interrogation. Or do you mean specifically what kind?
 
[quote name='aerotive']Torture/interrogation. Or do mean specifically what kind?[/QUOTE]
What kind of course. For example, why was there music?
 
Re the flesh, my guess is that she's stockpiling it for repairs. Same with the CPU--in case hers is ever damaged it could be used as a replacement. But there was a definite maybe-she's-evil vibe to this episode so maybe she's up to something nefarious.

Also liked Bubbles from The Wire showing up.

Something soothing and weirdly out of place makes the the horror to come that much worse?
 
No one has mentioned the scene in the future where that jean claude van dam looking terminator attacked Reese. Cameron said to Reese that "sometimes they just go bad, no one knows why." I think that was a hint at Cameron's plans.

I didn't understand that statement. They aren't program for good or bad.. They are programmed to complete their mission. If it is to haul a large jet engine type across the ruins or to seek out and destroy humans it just doesn't matter as they are machines programmed for specific tasks.

Future John Connor is not too bright.

Hmmm - Reese just came back from being held by Terminators and taken down to the basement for a strange operation. Afterwards the Terminators let him go no questions asked. Let's give him one of the most pivotal assignments in the resistence movement - I'll also send this unknown vector back in time to take care of my younger self.
 
[quote name='Quintessence']What a confusing, but interesting episode that was. I always look forward to the next one.[/QUOTE]

I think that's what the producers want. Confuse the hell out of you but want you coming back for more, hence more ratings for them :|

Looks like episode 9 is the season finale. Yet still no word about if this is going to continue pass this season.

:(

yeah, I'll second that. Nice to see people from The Wire getting more jobs.

I was under the impression that reese and his team went back in time without permission from connor. They implied alot in this episode so it confusing, but the show went from "meh" to good I think with this episode.
 
[quote name='ITDEFX']Agreed. I think Conner needs judgment day to occur...other wise he won't exist. I guess either no one knows that his father is Kyle Reese, and that it's him that knocks Sara up.[/quote]

No one can know Kyle is his father or the machines can just kill him b4 he knocks up Sarah. And i agree, if judgment day does not happen Connor wont be born. If you take into account Terminator 3 we know judgment day is inevitable.

Wonder what would happen if Sarah and John went looking for Kyle.

Then why did future Connor need to see Reese right before he went back in time - you even saw future Connor's silhouette behind Reese which IMO means that Reese's operation was vetted by Connor. Heck - Reese didn't even know what Skynet's "secret weapon" was - so how could he possibly hope to orchestrate control and operation of the time machine without future Connor knowing?
 
now I am starting to think that the Cameron model has gone back in time several times and been sent back to the future, reprogrammed, reskinned and sent back on new missions and once those missions are complete, sent back to the future and reskinned as the female appearance only to be sent back to protect John. So we need to wait for "I was once a man" from her.

Man, that show will take a turn for the creepy if she says that.
