vaznettiIt is 1x5, isn't it? a few spoilery comments under here:
The future is confusing to me. Andy Goode is alive, and Bubbles is in the resistance. And random terminators kidnapping people but not bothering to kill them. The present is less confusing, at least. I did like the moments of parallelism between the two bodies: Derek Reese, and the dead Terminator, both stretched out, both cut open, one to be healed and one to be utterly destroyed. And Derek, stepping through two doors, each time with a cyborg leading him: one to see John, and one... well, that's a mystery.
I actually thought that the first 2/3 of this episode was both slow and confusing, but it left me with plenty to think about. Sometimes they go bad, and Cameron hiding the chip from Sarah, and Derek having knowh her in the future -- her? or a Terminator that looks like her? are they like Cylons in that? -- and Cameron looking a little frightened, as if she believed that Sarah really would take her apart. Which she probably would. And what the hell is actually going on in the future? if that was memory, and not dream, and I think it was a memory.
Nice character work -- Derek, but all the rest as well, especially John and Charlie.
