Sarah is sure there's a connection, so I think it's a safe bet there will be. TPTB's ears.

Yeah, I know, it's Sherman, not Ferguson - I keep getting the names mixed up. They already made the link between the Turk and Sarah's quest for the 3 dots in Strange Things. Sarah is sure there's a connection, so I think it's a safe bet there will be. No, they didn't. Sarah simply believed there was a link because Dekara Corp was developing an AI. But there was zero connection to "The Turk". And nothing has indicated any link whatever to "The Turk" in any of the other episodes. And there's no evidence that there's any connection between The Turk and the warehouse. If that's how they intend to run the story, fine, but it's ridiculously roundabout and also justifies Sarah's paranoia, which is something she definitely doesn't need at this point. If we're supposed to believe that her paranoia and obsessions are somehow valuable as a guide to action for the Connors, well, that makes no sense whatsoever - unless they want to establish that the Connors are destined to fail to stop Skynet. Which, by the way, is possible, since the producers have said that some of the actions by the Connor team will accelerate Judgment Day, not push it back. And that sure seems like it so far. Bottom line: They had at least three ways to find "The Turk" all season - if only by accident while they were looking into something they already knew about. They didn't do any of them.

That word doesn't mean what you think it means. Sarah Connor neither suffers from psychosis nor is her distrust of people like Akagi irrational, let alone in the extreme.

The more I look back on the season about my gripes and the stalling. That's something that I see more and more so as the season has progressed. While they've attempted to Terminators both personal and otherwise. It seems like ZieraCorp has made steps towards a possible Skynet, that much more especially by accquiring Cromartie and turning him into John Henry. It maybe a loose end, but its a possible factor into the creation of Skynet.

See my comment over in the Sarah thread about her being paranoid. She might not be paranoid according to the clinical definition, but she definitely is suffering from a poor mental condition at the moment which is worse that anything she experienced in T-2.
And if the writers justify that mental condition by having her find something concrete, that's not a good idea - unless it's used to snap her out of it, at least.

I rewatched the first 13 episodes of season 2 in the past three days. I've come to realize I was becoming too critical of the show and the opinions expressed by posters on here. I feel like a real jerk for the way I acted towards some of you... sorry.
Anyway, I really liked "Earthlings Welcome Here." It left me excited and interested in this show again. I'm looking forward to the back nine in a month.
