Not a problem for me! I thrive on the ol' WD! It's just that nasty, stinky human grease I could do without.

I thought Sarah's reasoning was faulty. She implied, and tried to convince Cameron, that John sent her from the future because he wanted her away from him (presumably because he stopped trusting her), but it might as well have been because he trusted her so much that he actually wanted her with him sooner, that is, from an earlier time in his life.

weaver is not on the side of the humans at all, she has no regard for life as she's demonstrated over and over...my theory is that her war might be with Skynet in terms of a power struggle for control...skynet is a self aware machine, but T-1000's can evolve, which places them higher on the food chain...skynet is scared about the whole thing...john conner being a cleaver guy things he can play both ends against the middle...

• I was wondering how the sub story could have played out had Jesse not intervened. If the answer was "No" what would that liquid metal terminator have done to Connor when they met? Was that a deliberate plan to kill Connor? Why would the reply be expected in the form of a package to be retrieved?
• I'm also thinking that liquid terminator was Weaver - no reason to expect it would not survive till that time frame.
• They have clearly indicated some divide in the Skynet world. This supports the idea that several commentors have posted that Weaver was developing her own alternate AI.
• But we also saw that clearly Weaver is not on the side of humanity - so if she is making an alternate AI it does not appear that it would be a beneficent one. That would bear out here being the liquid terminator replying "No" in Jesse's story.
• When Weaver converses with John Henry its just like a terminator speaking to a human. John Henry smiles and is hopeful, he emotes. Weaver is deadpan. Still not sure where that's going.

That's my 2 cents.

Hmm. Good thinking. I tend to agree with you on this.
Overall, best episode of the season to date.
And notice how the best episodes are the one that have Sarah in them the least?

It's not like she was in any danger from them.
That's my two cents.

The tragedy is that everyone's actions throughout the sub sequence make sense. Even poor Queeg, who got caught in Hal's dilemma.

I guess that's what they were going for, but it seemed kind of "lite" to me on the your behavior gave me the answer I was looking for shtick.
I totally agree about the HAL dilemma Queeg got put into.
