By day a mild-mannered tv station receptionist, by night a fighter of crime and corruption in the dirty streets of Spokane, WA . . . or maybe not so much. More like a hyperactive, anal-retentive daytime receptionist and a melodramatic, hyperactive nighttime fangirl who only wishes she could be a fighter of crime and champion of justice (except that would lead to getting my super costume all dirty and I hate doing laundry.) Though my intent has always been to write bestselling novels and live a life of wealth and luxury, putting my talents for snarkiness and word doodling together while letting my geek flag fly suits me just fine - for now. 3 Comments

I will share my comments from another forum. What I love about this show is that we have 2 badass women, who are able to take care of themselves, and also protect the people they love. In addition, the “Damsel in Distress” that need protecting is John, who is the guy. This just makes my feminist heart go pittty-pat!
Nice review, Melissa. You caught even more moments of continuity than I noticed on first watching.
One of my favorite parts of this episode was seeing Enrique being played by Tony Amendola (who also played Braytac on SG-1). I think he’s a fantastic character actor. Although I’m used to seeing him as the noble, wise, ass-kicking mentor, he was just as good as the morally-ambiguous, ass-kicking mentor.
I think Sarah’s still going to die of cancer. If as of 1999 she was “supposed” to die in 2005, and they are now in 2007, that means she has 6 years. If she has cancer inside her, she has cancer inside her, and it’s going to happen. I think the question that remains is what she will choose to do with the time allotted to her. Will she choose to live it WITH her son, or will she ultimately push him away? I love that aspect of the show. I also think Lena Headey is a great Sarah Connor.
As for the non-stop terminators…I’d mind if they weren’t so cute. But the terminators seem to get hotter and hotter each time. Let the terminator parade continue!
