Things are so much better when they're all working as a team, aren't they? And now that they've all seen the HK, no one's going to be thinking Sarah's crazy anymore! When that thing flew out of the lake, she kind of had a look like "see?" I think if Sarah told them all tomorrow that she had a feeling about 4 hexagons she was dreaming about, they'd all be like "all right, let's go find them!" I'm assuming the lake was just the hiding place for the HK. And if Weaver blew up the entire factory, the story in that town is probably a dead-end now. So all they know now is that someone was refining coltan and had built an HK. I don't even know where they go from here, but they need to find that thing and get to the bottom of Catherine's operations!

Not to harsh your glee, but I think we all knew it was real. Did anyone actually say it was a hallucination before? Sarah might be crazy, but she's not CRAZY

Now I can't help but think that one or two of those surviving guys who should be dead from the explosion and apparently still living, like the girl's father... Might've been sent back from the future... But from which camp were they from - the Resistance, or the Greys?
Btw, the SCS chat's pretty lonely this whole evening...

I sent a PM to someone but no reply

The story was really good. It had a great X-files vibe. I loved Zoie the bad guys teen daughter. I agree it was great seeing Team Connor back together. No Jesse and no Riley! ;D Wonderful! I hope Zoie is in the next episode too. It's a shame the show's continuity is so sloppy. I was distracted by Sarah walking around, climbing steps etc. as if a bullet hadn't been pressing on her femoral artery a day or two earlier. WTF would she have done if Mr OSHA had jumped her? One bump and she'd tear that wound open. Also, the local county sheriff just got killed and she's hanging around a few miles away? Does she really want to fry in the electric chair? Continuity errors makes it hard to enjoy the story. It keeps distracting me. In spite of that, it was a very good episode. Did ya notice the 3 dead cows formed the three dot symbol? I'm pretty sure they did. I'm not sure what killed them. Did they die of fright when the HK flies out of the water? Or were they target practice for the HK? Strange, that they didn't have any visible wounds.

A pretty good episode, but not on the same level as Good Wound. There was a bit of a slow pace to it, but the thing I liked most was the return of the Connor family dynamic. Everyone contributed and got to engage in good, strong scenes.
I liked the fact that everyone seemed to be competent and working together. There was no whining. There was only the dysfunctional family sorta functioning. That included the creepy robot sister.
The scene at the wake where Cameron asks Derek if he would look at a picture of Kyle if he had it was very good. I also like the empathy (if not emotion) that Cameron seems to have. And her snarky comment at the pond was hilarious.
John's interaction with the girl Zoe was believable (and once again, we find a girl that's more interesting and cooler than Riley usually is) and made sense. Including the joke about his sister being creepy.
Weaver was nicely creepy. With her insistence that Zoe's dad got away (of course she knows!) to repeating Ellison's story to Savannah. What I really liked was Savannah's 'your lap is cold.'
The most interesting thing I found was that the father that they were searching for (Zoe's dad), turned out not to be some innocent person that had been embroiled in something too big for him, but he was in fact a villain in this little tale. I thought that was a nice twist, and he seems to now be in command of the HK/Drone.
Ellison was a touch boring. Also, Winston's wife handing over the keys to Sarah so quickly was a little unbelievable.
Good episode, but not on the top of the list.

i think Weaver could have called him out of the HVAC building because she new she would need a body or two. Didn't the daughter say he was home sick that day? If she'd called him out of the building, she'd hardly need Walsh to find him. I think the more interesting thing is that random cold-blooded killer dude just stole a fricking HK from the T-1001.

The HK saw JOHN. There better be terminators next episode!!! They know where he is now.
I also like the fact they brought back the little girl. Forgetting her completely while in the hands of a T-1000 would have been awful, but it wasn't.
I think the emotional impact of the funeral was kinda eh, and overall, we already knew it was skynet base and that the HK being there was not a suprise like before. I personally think it should have tried shooting them.
Watching Sarah walk around I was thinking that they need to get her out of black jeans and into a skirt!

It's moiduh-in' time now! Heheh. That's ballsy, but potentially deadly.

I took it that Walsh was looking for Winston. CW made some comment tonight (I'm sorry I cant' remember what it was right now I'll need to re-watch) that led me to believe she never found Winston's body at the warehouse.

I was pretty sure Weaver was looking for Zoey's dad.
Winston's wife knew he was dead and given that Zooey's dad was pretending to be dead and wasn't, logically, he'd be the missing link in Weaver's daisy chain of deniability.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned John and his attempts at gun point interrogation (aw, he bluffs with firearms just like mom). It's the first time we've seen John carry a gun on his person, isn't it?

Things I liked.
The score. Some good humor. Sarah Derek interaction. HK prototype. John pulling out the gun. For a second he had me believing he was John Connor.
Things I disliked.
The Connors could have spent far less time at the funeral, wake..etc with their hands in their pockets. Those parts where slow.
Sarah walking down the creepy corridor, only to reveal it was a underground tunnel to another house. Wow, never seen that before in a book or movie. I thought it was going to lead to some mind-blowing reveal. Nope.. Huge letdown.
Wished Sarah or John would have asked the families more questions about this beneficiary (the Caleba group?) that paid for everything.
