HC: Thank you for this. Had been buggin the shit out of me. Man...kinda surprised by his acting chops...pretty different characters.
Now I want him back. Beat that cancer boy! C'mon!
Yeah. I couldn't figure it out. He played a much different character in this and he was fantastic. I kinda doubt we will see him again though, judging by the end of the episode.
I'm pretty sure that is Billy Lush. He was kevin donnelly in the black donnelly's as well. I don't know how many people watched that show but he was one of the main chars, minus the scruff.
Skynet probably runs on a different calendar than BC/AD -- the most accurate thing it has is the sky, which we've been shown that it has more than enough capacity to tell time from.
Resistance forces probably broke in, saw the coordinates and target left behind by the 1920's terminator departure, but had no clue what it meant (along with all the other targets listed in the center). Most of it probably didn't make any sense, actually, so they simply gathered all the intel off the monitors and sent the messenger back, hoping someone in the past would be able to connect the dots. During the process, Skynet forces attempted to retake the center before valuable intel about priority targets other than John was provided to the resistance in the past.

Wasn't really meant to be mean, in fact it was mostly light-hearted. I apologize if you took it otherwise; the medium we're using makes context difficult, at best.
So turns out there's a cure for metal fever after all.
I'm not questioning John's judgment on that call any more. However, is it really necessary for him to keep treating Cameron like crap? Does she have "Be an asshole to me, all of the time" stamped on her forehead or something?

I think John has feelings for Cameron, at least that's what I gathered from the first season and premier of the second. His assholosity is a way of hiding his attraction from everyone around him, probably even himself.
The woman who plays Jackie Taylor on Dr. Who has three freckles on her face that are exactly like the three dots.
Turns out that the time machine used is a crashed tardis. The humans and machines haven't totally figured out how to use it, hence the odd rules about being naked (I would, however, enjoy a naked Doctor Who, but I feel that wouldn't make it past the BBC censor board for a family show).

Yup...great call. Now I'm disappointed with myself that I watched all of Generation Kill without making the Black Donnelly's link. I liked that show (BD). He was the brother w/ the gambling problem, right? Again, very different character from these other 2...gonna have to keep my eyes on this kid. He seems pretty versatile and talented...
the thing that should've made the idea of Riley being from the future perfectly clear was not just her talking with Jessie, but also her freaking on her foster family about how fake their life is.
Can anyone give me a good reason why Cameron would take out that T-888 in the wall? I've been thinking about it, and her objective is to keep John safe, but clearly that 888 had nothing to do with John (unless it was very indirectly, since we don't really know anything about his assassination target yet). So why did she go out of her way to take him out? Just because he was another Terminator? Because her chip is screwed up and she's just running wild now? Seems odd that she'd put that much effort into something that didn't affect her primary objective.

He's a passive threat someone could utilize as a tool eventually, and it was practical to do so? Confronting him was incidental to investigating the building?

Sarah said shit like that all the time in T2 and she's not from the future
(I think Riley's from the future, I'm just sayin')
She could be someone like Miles Dyson, someone they showed some concrete proof.

Cameron's actions throughout the series shows that she's not just here to protect John. She has other agendas as well, we just don't know what they are yet. Plus, she's been helping Sarah with the bloody wall storyline. And, on that bloody wall was Stark's name right before the three dots.

I am sorry but riley just does not do it for me. She has this sort of man-jaw-chin thing going on. I'd rather bang a Summer Glau robot.
i'm not exactly convinced. I mean when humans time travel, they go find a newspaper or ask someone. How do the humans know what the bots do post timewarp? That would be like the least effective way of communicating "wrong time warp."
err.. if the past john knows about it, the future one knows too.. so the past future cameron will have known too! :P

I must have missed that Stark's name was on the wall. That makes more sense. Thanks.

*nods* It's like when you have feelings for someone you know you shouldn't. He had to keep being unfriendly (at the least) to hold her at arms length. Hell, it might not even be attraction. He just might want to trust and confide in her but knows, y'know, sometimes they go bad.

I've been interpreting his assholishness more like the way you'd treat your little sister, than someone you're interested in. Am I the only one that sees it this way? I guess i just can't picture him hooking up with the hot robot.

Well the show is pretty blatant about building romantic interest, what with the "I love you!" and Cameron pulling off her jacket and riding into John's room, seemingly ready to roll (or at least, ready for a roll). But like I said, it could just be that John sees her as someone he wants to trust because she's so unerringly loyal to him and he knows she won't let him down. Except for that time when she went haywire and tried to kill him. And then there's also the reality that even if she doesn't ever turn again, any bonds built between them aren't real because i) she's a robot, any sympathy or kindness or emotion is merely a facsimile of the real thing (even if it's a really, really convincing one) and ii) as a robot, she could be turned against him by simple re-progamming. The last point is especially dangerous if they get chummy because if Cameron is re-programmed to kill John but the "memories" of the relationship are kept intact, it'd be that much easier for her to infiltrate and carry out the mission.
tl;dr John might not be interested in her, he just might see her as a good person to give him the support he needs. However, getting into the habit of treating her like a "real" person can cause a lot of trouble.
But like I said, it could just be that John sees her as someone he wants to trust because she's so unerringly loyal to him and he knows she won't let him down. Except for that time when she went haywire and tried to kill him.
To be fair, she had a scratch on the surface of her brain. I think it would be unreasonable to be mad at a person if they punched you in the face during an epileptic seizure.

lol sure but it just sorta highlights the danger she can pose. It's not fear of that exact situation happening again, just if something similar happens.
Yeah I don't think Skynet had a lot of Terminators at it's disposal.
That, and the fact that the Terminators are infiltration units rather than straight-up walking weapon platforms. They have HKs and the huge tank things for Big Combat, as well as assorted other drones and stuff, I'd guess.
If I were Skynet I'd have the sky filled with the small drones from T3, sniping anything that moves. Less complex machinery than an exoskeleton unit, cheaper to produce.
I think the future scenes from the movies were more intended with "this looks cool!" in mind than "Skynet has a ton of Terminators".
How did the organic flesh of that termie keep fresh and crisp that long? It clearly grows back and is living tissue, doesn't it need nutrition? A termie with mummified strips of flesh for a face in a mobster outfit would have made for a cool image.
I would guess that the self-sustaining nature that makes it able to take bullets and heal the damage. If the organic parts worked on absolute natural rules, after the first few bullet holes you wouldn't have a working infiltrator for months, if indeed ever.

I'm honestly rather confused by the commotion over this idea. To my recollection the show spelled this out very, very clearly.
I'm pretty sure that is Billy Lush. He was kevin donnelly in the black donnelly's as well. I don't know how many people watched that show but he was one of the main chars, minus the scruff.

I think you missed something. :P
When its a lame statement, only by really going all out can you make it right.
Do you actually have something useful to contribute, or are you just going to be an asshole?

Not Stark, and not the Mayor.
As for why Cameron would intervene, simple: Because Skynet is up to no good, and she wants to stop them.
