I think they did a cheap flashback at the end there with the scientist and us knowing what happens to him after the credits roll.
Also, bitchy detective woman needs to go.
It's a real burden being right so often.

I kind of liked bitchy woman detective. Because she was bitchy. And because so far we've not seen hardly any white males on this show, at least not in positions of authority. It's kind of interesting.
Did anyone see any Asian kids in the school scenes? I mostly saw white and black kids.
I'm really getting jazzed by this show; I didn't even mind the voiceovers as much, although the opening dream sequence was definitely overkill and unnecessary.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
On the first door it also looked there was a V or an N in the middle of the "window", on the second "DAN" and on the third "IDAN" or something.
A TWoPer posited she was sleeping with the guIDANce counselor. Sounds about right.
Was this random stuff within the ep, or will we be seeing more highschool drama/mystery surrounding this? If not, then wtf? If so, really?
A TWoPer posited that if there's someone at the school who likes dramatically outing people's secrets, John and Cameron could have a problem.
I'm glad I have TWoP to explain things for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Another thing that was less than sense making. Skin scientist dude. I thought he was dead and blood splattered walls and eyes missing, then he was examining bathtub boy. Was something out of order, or was it someone else all bloodied?
I was confused about the same thing for a bit. Then when he cut open the terminator's eyelids and we saw the red glowie terminator eyes, I realized that the terminator needed one (or two) things more to look human, so yeah, flashback to explain why dead scientist got his eyes taken.
Also, I liked the voice-over at that point: "We're all sons of bitches now." Scientist let his ego get in the way of... not selling out the human race.
Oh, does that terminator have a name?

Oh - good point.
the opening dream sequence was definitely overkill and unnecessary.
Yep. 'Cept maybe to set up the "We're all sons of bitches now" thing?

not your mom's socks.
Andy was in T2 as an assistant/intern/whatever to Miles Dyson.
I think that came up in the cemetery scene.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well, I don't think he realized exactly what he'd done until the Terminator was revealed as a machine, and at that point, he was pretty much toast. That was my favorite scene of the night, seeing the full metal Terminator.
I didn't really like the out of order flashback at the end, though. I found it unnecessarily confusing.

Well, the Terminator then got in the bathtub and stayed completely submerged long enough for the synthetic skin to grow on him, and the scientist was still there when the Terminator got out. My guess was he could have run away when the Terminator was soaking in his blood bath....

I think they say "two or three days after the episode airs."
(I didn't Tivo it, and wanted to rewatch last night.)
Possibly you could buy it from iTunes - I don't know how long the delay is there. (Probably at least as long as Fox.com, huh?)
