The two-hour season finale of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles airs tonight on Fox, starting at 8pm (so set those clocks early, folks) and we're giving away a giant chunk of swag from the show. See the photo above of John and Cameron sitting at the table? All you have to do is come up with a funny caption. You can try to come up with a deeply moving caption if you want, but it'll probably be easier to come up with something funny than something that will make us re-think out lives. What will you win?
We've got Terminator shirts with silvery writing on the front, military style hats, light-up red glowy bracelets, and Terminator eye window-clings, and Terminator flashlights that throw cool LED logos of the show into dark areas.
Simply submit your caption in the comments below, and you're officially entered. Be as long or as brief as you want, but above all try to be funny. Heck, we'd even take a good Firefly or Buffy joke. Just go nuts, folks. The contest will be open until roughly 10:30pm Pacific Time, right after tonight's finale ends on the West Coast. We'll pick a winner at that time and announce it tomorrow. The contest is open to everyone, unless you're living on the moon, and we'll pick up the shipping charges. However, we are not responsible if actual robots from the future start chasing you.
The window clings are massive and aren't pictured in the top photo, but they'll be included. You'll be the envy of all your friends, or you can just open your own Terminator merchandise store. The future is not yet written.

"Wait; you're telling me that in the future, emo is dead? Then what am I going to do with all my eye-liner?"
Yes I am anatomically functional.
Yes I am anatomically correct.
"Yes, it is okay for you to do my math home work for me. The teacher said I could use a calculator."
It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not BLINK!
Have you ever been programmed for other things besides homework, saving mankind .....?
So your saying that the future me programmed you to follow "EVERYONE" of my commands?
"So, are you ... em .. fully functional?"
"Jeez! My old Etch-A-Sketch was never this much fun!"
"...I thought you said the little red bumps were from razor burn and a Brazilian?"
The Staring Contest for the Future begins...now.
OK! OK! OK!.... I said JINX first! So the first one to blink has to refill the cereal bowl.
Could creepy bald guys be spying on your boy and his robot? Details at 11.
"Klaatu barada nikto"
I've been trained in more the killing.
Thanks you very Much-O, Miss Robot-O
Must... not look up... would... draw attention... to boom mic... in shot...
What do you mean, the next model should have a larger size???
No, silicon isn't a metal, why do you ask???
"Ugh, I just hate the guy. Worst Superman villain, ever. He's just a bald bully who buys his way into all the choice heists. In fact, I'd go as far to say that he sucks, majorly. Yeah, he just really, really blows. Absolutely horrible, um...
He's right behind me, isn't he?"
John is that a drawing of me?
Long after the scene was shot, the sexual tension remained...
"Alright, let me try another way. I'm gonna draw a diagram. My output goes in your input..."
"I really shouldn't have had all those White Castle burgers."
He thinks to himself as he looks for a sign that smell is the one thing he still has over her.
"So, John Connor, what is this sex thing I keep hearing about?"
@tetracycloide: good catch. seriously, in this day in age, they could crop that out easy. silly twits.
So you're saying that the real reason you jumped us from 1997 to 2007 was so we couldn't see you in Firefly?
Can you please terminate the bald gentleman sitting against our kitchen cabinets behind me?
"So, I know you can eat and feel ways about stuff... but you can't get pregnant, right?"
So, Cameron...have you ever seen the future leader of humanity naked?
"It's my timing belt. Honest."
"Future me knows what I like. But at the same time, I could seriously mess up the future..."
-----
On another note, anyone else notice the bald guy behind John?
so...do you self lubricate?
"Uhh Where did you say you got that milk again?"
"I made it"
they rebelled.
they evolved.
they look and feel human.
some are programmed to think they are human.
there are many copies.
and they have a Tam.
Here are a few:
So, let me get this straight: The latest machine plan involves a terminator who is impersonating an actor, getting on dancing with the stars, eliminating the opposition, winning, getting bigger tv gigs, getting more popular, running for congress and then misappropriating the state budget to build Skynet? Lace up your dancing shoes, we're going to rock that audition!
Cameron, I really don't think that you can deal with the mean girls at school by constructing a 50 mm plasma rifle. Besides, where would you get the ammo?
I know Mom can be a bit of a buzz kill. I mean, she won't let me out of her sight for 5 minutes, and she won't let you terminate the two weird guys outside the Quick Stop that keep trying to sell us blunts!
Will mullets ever make a comeback?
Cause if they do, let's stop saving the world *now*.
"What's a ten-letter word for 'shitty franchise' that rhymes with 'sperminator'?"
This pencil is dull- do you have a built in sharpener?
Have you heard about this blog site, io9? They're running this photo caption contest. Any ideas?
"One more question, Cameron. You're watching a stage play. A banquet is in progress. The guests are enjoying an appetizer of raw oysters. The entree consists of boiled dog..."
Why yes, i do have a poker up my butt... Thanks for asking.
Hey baby want a fist sandwitch
We'll always have season 1
I can write without looking at the paper as good as any Asimo family member !
"John: the answer is 42...
Cameron: how so?
John: its the answer to the universe...
Cameron: Explain...
John:What do you get if you multiply six by nine?
Cameron: 54
John: lol noob its a joke...
Cameron: if you multiply six by nine in base thirteen it does come out to 42
John: Cameron relax its just a joke...
Cameron: Nobody writes jokes in base 13"
Cameron - "No, I am not doing your homework, I am making a list of all the ways that I could kill you with this pencil, but I can't since you programmed me not to ... dork."
I swear, I didnt know it was herpes. If I knew before, I would have told you!
I cant solve that question, this book is wrong
Hey kids, even Terminators have to do homework!
DOWN!!! No, not that, were under attack
"Are you staring at my tits again?"
What do you mean, 'May I be excused? My brain is full?'
Robo-boobies are just the neatest!
"John, My memory says According to Jim lasted years. We should be fine."
"Ever heard of Firefly?"
"A member of the insect genus known for an illuminated posterior."
"That's why I'm worried."
John: Okay, say it with me now. "Hasta la vista, baby."
Cameron: I can speak Spanish, John. Why would you have me say goodbye to infants? They would most likely lack the mental capacity to understand speech.
John: ...... forget it.
Come with me if you want to pass trigonometry.
John sat in quiet contemplation, "This is my TOK-715.
There are many like it, but this one is mine."
I can kill you with my mind.
Quote 1
John: What are you doing?
Cameron: Trying to remember who wins this contest in the future.
Quote 2
Cameron: Don't look now but there is a bald midget behind you
John: Oh god... I hate bald midgets!
Quote 3
Day 693 of the staring contest, and the bot and girl seem to be holding up well..... What? The girl is the bot? You mean this whole season I had it wrong? This whole time I thought she was on a PMS rage!
Quote 4
Cameron: I call 9mm
John: Awww... MOM! She always gets 9mm!
"Cameron: So what you are saying is the flash could be superman in a foot race...
John: yeah i mean common hes the flash its his one power hes gotta be better at it than superman.
Cameron: Its not physically possible for any human to have these "powers" you speak of
John: i know its... i hate you..."
"Well, weird or not, I still wanna see you and my mom hook up."
@Damonicus: So yeah, I stopped watching it after season 2. I had the eerie feeling that I was being Chris Cartered all over again. Fuck if Abrams and his monkey John Locke are getting 10 years of my life too. Ooo, look at me, I'm John Locke. I've got Christopher Reeves' legs. I'm missing a kidney. I can carve a dog whistle. Walkabout THIS, John Locke.
Errmmmm...he's right behind me, isn't he?
"Soooo, wanna skip homework and let me probe your mechanics?"
"Yeah, big deal. My last pseudo-girlfriend could regenerate."
"You remind me of my mom."
