My two favorite parts of this episode were when Andy asked Sarah out... "you're right, I answered too quick", and this bit of dialog from their "not a date":
Andy: "Don't take this the wrong way, but as a cell phone salesman, I think I can ask. Did you ever want to be anything other than a waitress?"
Sarah: "Yes, I did."
Andy: "What was it?"
Sarah: "I don't remember."
I so wanted to know the answer to that question, but really it was the perfect answer.

I think "The Turk" is one of the best episodes of the season. Everything - Sarah's voice over, the main plot with Andy, the escalating seriousness of his chess playing machine - was just so well done. If I think of the Turk and Queen's Gambit as one two part episode... it's my favorite of the season.  |

I'm rewatching this episode and it seems to me that in the scene where John describes the grey goo the synchronicity to Sarah, he's implicitly encouraging her to kill Andy Goode to prevent him from building Skynet.
Interesting. It's not every show that has the 15-year-old male lead urge his mother to commit murder.

Dammit. The synchronicity. Ugh. Sorry for the confusion.

*facepalm* Dammit. The synchronicity. Ugh. Sorry for the confusion. Oh, right - the scene where John's rockin' out to The Police and Sarah tells him to "turn that racket down!" ;D But going back to what you were saying, I don't get the impression John was urging his mom to kill Andy. Urging her to take it more seriously than she was, yes. And reminding her she said she'd "stop it". But did his mind actually go to - I think she needs to kill that guy? I don't think that option even entered into his mind. |

But going back to what you were saying, I don't get the impression John was urging his mom to kill Andy. Urging her to take it more seriously than she was, yes. And reminding her she said she'd "stop it". But did his mind actually go to - I think she needs to kill that guy? I don't think that option even entered into his mind. I like the idea that it did. To play Devil's Advocate, you've got Cam going on about killing him, you've got Myles Dyson's death - unintentional but effective - and you've got Sarah's own VO and "hell, do I kill this guy because of what he *might* do in the future" worries. And then you have The Turk. EVERYONE is thinking about killing Andy Goode so I don't think you can say it never entered John's mind. |
