oyceterI didn't write up 2x02 or 2x03 largely because I don't remember them and/or didn't have much to say at the time. The nuclear power plant arc largely baffled me until the end, and some of me wishes they wouldn't come up with such a dramatic way to give Sarah cancer (possibly). I suppose this way, she's less likely to pass it on to John? And the entire John-Riley subplot bored me. Show! Please do not use long blond-haired outcast girls as a means to get the viewer interested in John's school life! Especially when other plots involve, say, saving people from nuclear meltdown or averting the upcoming machine apocalypse.
While I liked the episode with Charley and Michelle, I am very sad they killed her. Partly I am sad because of the Woman in Refrigerator thing, but mostly I am sad because I actually grew to like her a lot in that episode. I also loved the scenes between her and Sarah. I was going to say that some evil part of me would be amused if Charley became Sarah's Man in Refrigerator, and then I remembered that she already has one in Kyle Reese.
And oh, Ellison. Do not be seduced by the dark side! It makes me worry a lot about your life expectancy!
This week's episode: made of win! Cameron character development, insofar as Cameron can develop. I love getting a look at her origin, and now I really want to know more about her reprogramming, if she has in fact been reprogrammed. And she has Allison Young's memories! How in the world did she get those? I mean, they could have been programmed into her, but the emotional reactions don't seem to be something that the terminators can be programmed to have. So...? Is she acting on Allison's emotions? Extrapolating? Can terminators have split personalities?
Plus, this week's one-off blonde girl was at least interesting.
Sadly, Sarah's plot this episode was largely filler, although it may prove to be very relevant to later episodes. And I did like getting the story of John's birth.
Also also, I like that the show has a lot of POC as extras. It'd just be nice if more of them were in the main cast...
Oh! And we get to see more of Ellison's personal life, which is always a plus.
