A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Was it just me or was Robot!Garrett significantly taller than Human!Garrett?
I thought so too. I wonder if the FBI guy noticed.
If they destroyed the factory where she was made and the materials to make her, how does she exist? Was she made elsewhere?
They haven't shown how time paradoxes resolve themselves. Would she fade out? Would she retroactively not have existed, so their memories would be clean? However, it's perfectly possible that she just got made elsewhere with some other...Celadon (what was it??) just like Skynet has rerouted its creation.
Just like the Internet finds a way to get your packet from source to destination, Skynet seems to be finding a way to its creation despite interruption of the primary and shortest path.
Now I'm earwormed with "Que Sera, Sera"
Maybe Skynet is inevitable because it's all part of God's plan....
OK, probably not, but that would be funny....
Anyway, my gut feeling at the beginning of the series was there'd be a shitload of time paradoxes, so I resolved just to ignore them....
Also TIME PARADOX. If they destroyed the factory where she was made and the materials to make her, how does she exist? Was she made elsewhere?
Well, they didn't destroy the factory. And she kept a bar of coltran. I was wondering the same thing, though.
And I suppose I'm the only one now listening to "The Robot Cat" by Logan Whitehurst.
I would think that she kept a bar of coltran so that she could repair herself if needed. Smart. Plus, it can probably be used as a weapon against the terminators.
Now I want to see a poster with a hairless kitty paw reaching out to the befuddled FBI Guy with the line "come with me if you want to live".
Heh.
Ok, I'd totally forgotten that SNL already did the Terminator kitty...
November 16, 1991 host: Linda Hamilton — "The Tooncinator." Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and her son John (Edward Furlong) are trying to escape from the Terminator (Phil Hartman), but the Terminator has come to inform them about the Tooncinator. Sarah is astounded that they would send a robot cat from the future that could drive. ("But not very well," Terminator amends.) The Tooncinator arrives and is impervious to both car crashes and gun fire. Eventually Sarah stops the car, over the terrified Terminator's objections, because she thinks that Tooncinator just wants to be their kitty. They all then go over the cliff.

"Fictional drivers"? Yep. [link]
Somebody in my old neighborhood has red Miata with the license plate TOONCES. Always cracked me up.
During the invasion of Iraq, I saw a TV interview with a US Navy fighter pilot... he was all very macho and competent and everything, but on the screen they put his call sign "Toonces" along with his name, so I thought it detracted somewhat from his image.
Hah! Oh, that's way better.
Yeah, I can just imagine all the ribbing he gets: "He can fly, just not very well."
