When Derrick and the other guys were "escaping" the Terminators one of them said something like, "It's always a game," does that mean that because Skynet started off as an AI for playing chess that everything it does it sets up as a game?
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This show wants me to watch more carefully than I usually watch tv. Every episode there is a large middle section where I am confused and unsure if I missed something. It would probably be a good plan to watch on my computer because then I wouldn't be doing stuff on the computer at the same time. Then I would still have the discomfort of being confused, but I would not feel it was my fault.
I am totally with you!
But man, I love the casting on this show.

In the trailer for next week's SCC, there was an older guy talking to FBI guy who looked REALLY familiar? Did anyone else see him who can ID?

Interesting theory. I wonder if we'll ever find out what they were doing with the prisoners when they would temporarily release one of them and send him downstairs?

Me, too, though I'm sure part of it is because I don't know who the guys are and have a hard time telling them apart. After IMDBing BAG and Lucky Spencer, I still couldn't tell them apart in a line up. The showrunners need to, I don't know, one have with a yellow collar and the other a red carnation, just until I know their faces after more exposure.

She kept metal? I've seen them all; what am I forgetting now?

That was Bruce Davison (IMDb profile) who's been in ungodly number of things both on TV and in movies. He was Senator Kelly from the first X-Men movie whom Mystique killed and impersonated.

She kept a piece of coltan after they busted the truck out of the nuclear bunker. I am mad curious to find out why Cameron is defying Sarah's order. Some other counterprogramming (future!John's, perhaps)? Her original programming reasserting itself? Or is it a step toward consciousness and independent motivation, a dangerous curiosity toward the nature of her kind? Interesting stuff.
Re. the basement. We've been speculating elsewhere that the soldiers might have been "reprogrammed" (or brainwashed, I guess you can call it), in parallel to the terminators being reprogrammed at the resistance headquarters.

tommyrot, do you have the Starburst edition of Farscape? Because if you do, Ben Browder and Claudia Black do a really good commentary for "The Way We Weren't."

Oh right right right! I was excited about that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Was he also Knight Rider's creator? I'm too lazy to look it up--just that he was another white haired guy that gets around the officious genre roles.
