Riley is a completely wasted plot and takes away from the entire show. Same with Derek's girlfriend.
More Cromartie please. |

Her screen time these days seems to be roughly analogous to Buck the dog on Married with Children. I actually think the newly defanged Cromartie is kind of lame. Badass Terminator? Loved him. Spokesprogram for John Henry engaged in philosophical debates? Not so much. BillNyeSurvivorGuy wrote: She could use a little lovin'. I'm still pissed about why they'd let her go off on her solo mission like that. Crazy or not, you don't let a critical member of the team go running off into harms way with no backup. Dammit Jesse's a btich. That "I'm not your mother" slap was WAY too harsh for a kid unravelling like Riley. |

Terrible season ender and a ridiculous shift in story line bringing in aliens of all things.
I'm on board with Terminators but i draw the line at UFO stuff. It so boring and over done This was a perfect segway into the Friday night death slot. Sad It was just so damn good before the last two weeks too. Oh well. I'll certainly DVR it next year and see if they can right the proverbial spaceship. And yes, Riley has to go. She brings no screen presence whatsoever. |

Whoa, do you think these aliens are actually creatures from outer space?
ETA: Sry I know and like you. But just in case: The UFO's being spotted around SoCal during present time ain't critters from outer space? They are Shirley Manson's spawn, probably improved versions of the "helicopter" that killed the sad little girl's RL red-haired mommy and daddy in a trial-run prototype crash. And which give rise to the superior technology that defeat our human resources on Judgment Day. Remember all those seemingly-impossible flying things in the future desolation? The triple dot flying thing are their prototypes. Just waiting for a T-888 to pilot them, same as the USS Jimmy Carter. This is why I lurved the show linking the modern real liife whacko UFO conpsiracies to Skynet. (Sry if I offend.)

Piran - i didn't read your post pre edit, but it's all good man. I don't get offended on message boards, particulary this one.
So you're thinking it's SkyNet? I guess they could be but my brain was thinking they weren't ready yet. I'm still in the mode where John and Sarah are still trying to prevent SkyNet, not outright stop it. You're probably correct though. |

I also love the use of those zany UFOs, but my thought was it was some secret government weapons department making them using tech from a Terminator-piece they found (including Alan's piece of metal). They did mention a new bad guy, and I'd say those were humans trying to assassinate Alan. It's the G-Men. |

I think the thing to remember is that Skynet is a product of various separate and unrelated projects. So the UFOs, as Screerider suggests, are just a
government or private project that will somehow allow for Skynet's development or provide weapons that Skynet will use once it's ready to conquer the
measly human race.

I thought I called Riley being from the future, but perhaps not -- I'll always defer to Scree.
True on the SkyNet conglormeration of corporations, and point well taken. The thing that nags at me though is the Shirley Manson's character question: why is she spending all this time building bad guy artificial intelligence with John Henry when she already has it. She's a T-whatever herself. For some reason, she can't and is in the process of building it from the ground up. Do I have it right in remembering that her human predecessor was the wife of an aviation industry titan, who had built the helicopter in which they died? The fact that she's now in charge of a corporation doing aviation and AI leads me to suspect that she's also designing the weapons that the terminators will use on Judgment Day, i.e., the flying thingies that will wipe us out. |

They don't engage her with us often enough, so I've forgotten tons of shit about her. ETA: I did look and didn't see any Riley/future posts before this one: Link

Best episode in a long time.

I loved the Shirley Manson sections -- finally, she gets shaken up and forced to do something.
But the soap opera between Sarah and the doctor? Lame. That story's been done a gazillion times before. Not much Cameron again, too. I wonder if John Henry will start emulating Cromartie now that he knows what he was. Still, they're finally putting Sarah and the gang on a collision course with Shirley. This'll be fun. |

Yeah, I liked that Shirley Manson got her hands very dirty this episode after mostly just standing around and talking to Ellison. The soap opera with the
doctor and the dream Reese? Not liking that.
Riley sucks the air out of the room. Will Jessie finally put a cap in her? |

Ratings blew. Oh well. This show is just not going to catch on, which is too bad. I really like it, and I don't even really like the movies that much.
