The fact that BAG has been cast in a new pilot lends one to believe that Derek could possibly die this season. The key word is "pilot" here, peeps. The show hasn't been ordered to series. TSCC hasn't been picked up for a third season (although it will be - FOX owes me). Until both those things happen, all the casting report means is that BAG has picked up a paying gig to fill his hiatus.

Blowing Cameron's chip would be a huge disservice to the show, because the new chip would basically be a new character inhabiting her body. The actor who played Cromartie is still a regular on TSCC, but we all still miss Cromartie anyway because that character died, and a new one is just using his body. 2 seasons of chracter development would be thrown out the door if they blew Cam's chip, so I don't think it will happen. On the flipside, though... What if the explosive gets removed from Cameron's head, and then Sarah tries to detonate it, not knowing it's been taken out? John would be extremely pissed at her for that. Cameron would live, but the fact that Sarah tried to kill her, and would have succeeded under different circumstances, would be enough to at least partially burn the bridge between her and John. Who knows, maybe the "intimate" shot of John and Cameron is after John decides to remove the explosive from Cameron's head? Cameron would obviously not like the idea of removing the explosive at all, but John could give her some kind of impassioned speech about how he doesn't want to have that kind of power over her, and ultimately he reveals to Cameron that she is more than just a machine to him. ^_^ Then Sarah walks in, sees that they're about to snog, and pushes the button... ...only to realize that the explosive has detonated in the kitchen trash can.

How do we know if Cameron actually has an explosive planted in her head? She has trouble controlling herself. She told a bird that there's a 51% chance that she won't kill it. Maybe there's a 49% chance that there is no explosive in her head.

I know that the writers have dropped the bloddy wall plot device. (It's only purpose was to set up the stand alone episodes.) But, it be nice if the Connors addressed the wall before they left the house. I mean, are they just going to leave it there? Paint over it? You would think with Sarah being so obsessed with the 3 dots, that she would take photographs of the wall, or something. It would be nice, if the writers at least brought it up as Sarah and John are packing up the final boxes into the truck. Ya know, for closer reasons. Little things like this bother me.

I wouldn't worry. If they didn't forget to show Sarah covering up the hole she'd cut in the floor for the safe, I'm sure there will at least be a mention of the blood wall before they go.

There's something about Jesse that bothers me.
Watching the last episode, you would think that Jesse motivations were fully flushed out. But, let's go back to Earthlings Welcome Here. Remember the biker chic that tried to kill Sarah and Allen Park? At the time, most of us thought it was Jesse. But, that doesn't really jive with what we know about her character's motivations. If it was her, why was she trying to kill Sarah? and, if Jesse's still alive, will she make another attempt on Sarah's life? I hope the biker's appearance gets revealed. Is Jesse somehow tied into the 3-dots storyline? If she is, then I think we will be seeing her again before seasons end. I don't know. Something is not adding up here...

Is Jesse somehow tied into the 3-dots storyline? If she is, then I think we will be seeing her again before seasons end. I don't know. Something is not adding up here... The biker assassin was Winston. When he had Sarah kidnapped in Some Must Watch, he said: "I wouldn't expect anything less from the girl who used a cross-dresser and a hypnotherapist to find us." Winston was head of security for Desert Canyon Heat & Air, the front for Kaliba's metal factory that Alan had worked at. He'd been looking for Alan to kill him. How Winston found them at Alan's storage facility plays into the theory K8tie and I came up with for To The Lighthouse. Just like we think they stuck a tracking device in Sarah, we also think they did the same to all their employees. But the range was limited, so Alan was never trackable until he came back into town... to take Sarah to his storage facility. And from that point on, Winston was able to follow them. That's how he found Alan at the hypnotherapist (and why he said that quote above to Sarah in the van). Revisting my Andy Goode theory"Sleep is the perfect cover. Your mind's still active but you don't remember a thing." Before actually seeing Some Must Watch, I was sure the whole sleep clinic thing was going to be a Skynet research facility messing with people's brains during sleep that would eventually lead to whatever happened to Derek in the creepy basement. Obviously the episode didn't turn out that way and the sleep clinic itself was just a dream. But that line Sarah says when she's freaking out in that room in the basement of the sleep clinic is, I think, still a hint at what happened to Derek. When Derek was taken down to the creepy basement in the flashbacks in D&D, I think he was drugged into a sleep state and the liquid metal (Weaver) extracted information from him and implanted information in him. A year ago, I came up with a theory that Wisher had been brainwashed into believing he invented Skynet and was also implanted with the urge to confess it to Derek. It's a long and convoluted theory, but I'm still holding onto bits and pieces of it because I'm sure I've got some things right. The basic idea behind part of the theory was that Andy wasn't the creator of Skynet, but a hindrance to Skynet. So Skynet wanted him removed from the equation to accelerate its development. The reason my theory was so thin is because it hinged on Andy being brainwashed to confess to Derek and Derek being brainwashed to want to do something about it. But for any of that to work, Skynet would have had to known Derek would get sent back in time. And how could they know? Now, however, it's looking a little more possible. With what we've seen of 2027, future!John may not even be around (maybe even dead) and Cameron, who John confided in, seems to be running things. That means she may have been the one to send Derek back. We also now know there's liquid metal in 2027 (that I'm quite sure is Weaver) that Cameron has attempted to form an alliance with. Maybe they eventually meet and Weaver learns enough info that she formulates the whole plot for Derek to kill Andy. Maybe Weaver convinces Cameron to send Derek back or maybe Weaver just finds out Cameron is going to send Derek back. I'm still not quite sure how it all fits together, but I feel certain that what happened to Derek (and Wisher) in the creepy basement involved sleep-induced brainwashing techniques that resulted in Wisher confessing to Derek and Derek going back in time to kill Andy. And I'm thinking Weaver was behind it all. In present time, Weaver seems to be accelerating the development of Skynet and she was able to do that because she acquired Andy's Turk to develop as she saw fit. It's all too much of a coincidence.

I see two problems with this:
1) Why wouldn't Weaver or Cameron simply kill Andy themselves?
2) Why would Cameron go along with it?

I don't think the Connors will get their cleaning deposit back anytime soon. Kacy will be lucky if she gets the house back without a bomb blowing up in there. I wonder if they ever got the blood off the bathroom floor. Sarah never finished scrubbing it clean. I can just see Trevor calling in CSI to analyze the blood on the wall. Imagine Trevor's reaction to the crematorium in the garage. Does charred Terminator skin have DNA? Kacy did get free cable thanks to John. So, it's not a total loss.

Ausiello has a scoop. Look if you want to be spoiled. You gotta scroll way down though. Source

Some spoiler that was. We already know someone's going to die, and John is going to have trouble with teh w1mm1nz. I most certainly did not appreciate their quip about the season finale possible being the series finale though. Are we going to go through this BS every season with this show?
