Was everyone else immediately taken with Riley like I was? She won me over in her first scene. Quite a presence, that Riley and great with the smart-ass remarks too. I think she's exactly what John needs. Waaaaaaaaay better than brooding, mysterious Cheri. I'm going to see if I can possibly whip up a Riley action figure in record time because she so needs to be be part of the comic strip this week. ETA: I just backtracked and saw this: I must say, Leven Rambin really impressed me with her introduction of Riley. I already like her a billion times more than emosexual Cheri Weston. So I guess the answer was yes - others loved Riley too. Yay.

Just watched it the 2nd time, a few things stuck with me: -At the beginning when Cameron was telling John things have changed, and that he risked his life to fix her, she mentioned that it could "Upset people". John, referring to Derek and Sarah, said "I'll deal with it", to which Cameron replied "Not them". I'm assuming she's talking about people in the Future timeline. But how exactly it is related I'm not sure. -Also, when Sarah got scrubbed down, the Boss explained the readings as a "hiccup", and that sometimes those things have a mind of their own. Either he was lying the whole time, or the machine did erroneously report her as tainted. The machines at work already? <scary music> Ooooohhhhhh.... -When John and Riley are walking away from the lunch truck to sit down, the logo for WARNER BROTHERS RECORDS can clearly be seen briefly on the building behind them across the street. -The unknown Resistance Fighter lands in our time, you can see a bullet flying behind and then through him. It must have come from Skynet Forces. Could the Time Machine the Resistance is using be currently compromised due to events going on in the Present? Or, maybe he was being used by Skynet to get the Connors to meddle with the plant, and that bullet could have come from a Resistance Member trying to stop him? -Sarah asking if she's supposed to wait around like some time bomb waiting to go off, to which Cameron replies "I don't know.... am I?" This show leaves so much open to discussion and questioning as things are slowly revealed, and I LOVE it.

Just wondering but am I the only one who finds it absolutey hilarious that our Resistance Fighter of the week was wearing a string or maybe a thong?
Yeah I know. It's probably just me.

With you, Ronnie. The questions are out in the open now and the stakes are definitely getting higher and higher this season.

Not wanting to get into the whole timetravel thing again but doesn't the latest RF come from the newly created timeline already? So a different future than Derek or Cameron came from.
In the original timeline they left in the Pilot Sarah would have been dead 2 years already. So I doubt John would be living in the house they are currently renting all by himself. But the RF knew exactly where to find them.

I hope we see more of the unknown resistance fighter in the future. I want to know why he why he was sent back so urgently and who shot him. If we don't I'll be a sad panda (southpark refrence ftw!).
Did the guy who play Greenwall or Greenwell or whatever the heck his name was also play Ryan Chappelle in 24? He looked familiar.

John, referring to Derek and Sarah, said "I'll deal with it", to which Cameron replied "Not them". I'm assuming she's talking about people in the Future timeline. But how exactly it is related I'm not sure. I'm watching again now and I was wondering the exact same thing. I'm thinking she's referring to resistance fighters in the future, who probably don't like John taking risks with robots. I think the boss was just punishing her for snooping around. And BTW, that scene (and Sarah's alias, "Karen") was a total shoutout to the movie Silkwood. I'm thinking the more likely scenario is that the war is going badly for the resistance and as he was coming through, he got shot by a machine. But you never know though. That's an interesting possibility you suggested - that he is a Skynet ally. What the Connors did at the power plant did end up as a win for Skynet. If he was working with Skynet, then that bullet could have been from a resistance fighter trying to stop him. That was such a great scene. Yet another connection between Sarah and Cameron.

Not aware of his priors.
But I am extremely curious about the literal blood list in the basement of the Connor's new place.

I assume those will be the leads for this season (like Derek's safe house documents last season). -- Okay, I think Sarah and Cameron saying "car accident" is rivaled by the landlord saying "once upon a time, you were inside her" to Cameron (about Sarah) as the best moment of the episode. LOLz - especially when Sarah then grabs Cameron's hand and pulls it off the woman's stomach. -- Words over the bookcase in the new Connor living room: ENJOY RELAX DREAM And then Sarah sits down to relax on the couch and what happens? A bloody resistance fighter comes crashing through the door. Hehehe. Poor Sarah. Might as well take those words off the wall right now.

It pretty much rules out the old tired and true method of going anywhere they can to get a new sense of shelter is easily taken away. Have to say this has been the fastest it's been taken out from under their feet and by one of the Resistance no less.

Could the Time Machine the Resistance is using be currently compromised due to events going on in the Present? Or, maybe he was being used by Skynet to get the Connors to meddle with the plant, and that bullet could have come from a Resistance Member trying to stop him? Or perhaps they misinterpreted what the Resistance fighter wanted them to do. Perhaps he actually wanted the power plant to be shut down. It would seem that even though the Resistance held the power plant, Skynet has held it for much longer and perhaps it may have even taken it back. Maybe the Resistance wanted to change history and have the plant shut down. As a result of what Sarah did, things may have played out exactly the way they were supposed to.
