I think it’s something that will be explained later.
Wait… What?
I thought the words spelled DEAN and the spraypaint showed a silhouette of two people kissing behind a door, but you could see the tip of a cheerleader skirt and some blond hair peeking out from behind it. Leading people to believe the blond girl was messing around to get good grades or whatever.
That’s what I got.
Yeah, that’s what I thought. It’s some teacher who’s fucking his students. He’ll probably put the moves on Glau and get an audience pleasing ass-kicking.
Our impression was that the drawing was of a teacher’s door, with a bra hanging on the door and the silhouette of a man (teacher) kissing a girl (student) and the letters were possibly her name? Implying that she’s sleeping with the teacher, and being sixteenish, that’s enough to end your world?
Posting while watching Idol tends to slow me down, drat!
While we’re on the subject, how did the all metal T1000 and TX from Terminators 2 and 3 get through?
Johns been a little shit since T2.
I’d like it if Cameron would stop acting like Rainman and more like a terminator. Terminators don’t interact with people unless they want something. And then they use a limited vocabulary - “Come with me if you want to live”, “I need your clothes”, “have you seen this boy?”, “get out”, “afirmative”, “fuck you asshole”.
What does a machine care if some mentally imbalanced teenager is hysterical in the bathroom? Besides, I thought it had basic human psychology in it’s subroutines?
Actually, if there’s anybody on Earth who expects to run into a cyborg from the future at high school, it would be John Connor.
I mean, Mom probably drilled it into him:
“If there’s a new kid at your high school who seems a little ‘off’, especialy if they try to befriend you or show any special interest in you, you run away and never look back!”
“Aww, Mom!”
“I mean it, young man!”
No wonder they have to get new identities so often.
That would make for very dull television. They have to sustain this plot and these characters for entire seasons, and they can’t do it if all they have is a monotone robot. Cameron has to be a character they can interact with to make the show develop.
Admittedly, this may compromise things to the point where it’s no longer Terminator in feel, but I hope they’ve got an arc that won’t be too harsh and will maintain the established mythos.
OK, now I’m concerned about my lack of comprehension of this episode. (To be honest, I was working a 16 x 16 extreme challenger sudoko at the time.)
Good thing the episode is available for rewatching at FOX here.
He took the scientists eyes, since they weren’t part of his new body wouldn’t they just decompose? Too bad he didn’t need ears, he could have gotten some doozies from that guy. Is his new flesh body going to grow hair?
More like it* should* be John Connor.
“Awww, Mom! Bitch bitch bitch, whine whine whine.”
“I swear to god, if you weren’t the saviour of the human race, I’d end you the next time you blew our new identities.”
The student was having an affair with the guIDANce counselor.
Cameron didn’t get away with anything in the first episode. John tells her in the first episode that if he had let his head do the thinking he would have figured out she wasn’t human.
Cameron does look awfully pretty in her miniskirts but she only wears them when she’s not kicking ass. It’s amazing how she knows in advance (kinda like Buffy). This has happened in all three episodes so far. First episode, she’s wearing a skirt when she meets John but is wearing jeans for the fight sequences. She’s back in a skirt at the end when she’s standing outside looking pretty. In the second episode, she wears pants for most of the episode (while running around with Sarah) but once again changes into a little skirt for the ending. In the third episode she wears a skirt for most of it and does no asskicking. The moral of the story: if Cameron is wearing a skirt, you’ll be ok. If she’s wearing pants, run!
Nitpicking:
Apparently spray paint cans don’t set off the metal detector.
I’d love to be in a major metropolitan school where you could spraypaint a huge mural like that in multiple locations in a single day and not got caught.
Schools generally do not have rooftop access that students can get to… because they like to climb up on the roof and do stupid things like jump off.
I disagree. The terminators in the movies didn’t act like retards and they weren’t dull at all. Everything they did was more…deliberate. They show emotions but it looks “off” as if they are pulling form a pre-selected set of responses. And they were clever enough to imitate people close to their targets.
Cameron spends too much time wandering around like a confused little girl (or River Tam).
Overall, I find the show to be a little light. Kind of like T3. T1 and T2 just had the dark, ominous quality about it that the show and T3 failed to capture IMO. Probalby because both lack James Camerons direction and Brad Fidel’s score.
It’s probably because of Arnold’s awesome acting ability. 
(I agree with your point, though.)
Either that, or aIDAN quinn. By the way, it wasn’t a reversed NADI, because the letter D was not reversed.
I’m not sure I agree with that. Every terminator Sarah had ever encountered would, if it ever got close enough to John to have a conversation, immediately kill him dead. Worming onesself into his trust would be irrelevant when one could put one’s fist into his brain.
Well, then again, it’s probably easier to make a killing machine blend in as a monsterous Austrian guy with an accent than a giggly high school girl.
You know, this show is so sloppy, I wouldn’t bet on it.
But you’re probably right.
Max, Cameron has said that she’s a different kind of terminator - maybe a Mata Hari model.
“Fully functional” so to speak?
Heh - a 15 year old boy with a fully functional cyborg that has to do whatever he says - yeah, mom, I’ll get right on that saving the world thing.
