I know at least a few of y'all are keepin up with TSCC. Honestly, I loved this season right up till the end (The second to last episode - Alpine fields, i think its called- was one of the best, IMO) but I didn't really like the whole UFO idea. Your thoughts on the final episode? Is Riley dead (doubt it), whats the deal with Sarah (where will she be at the beginning of the next season), etc etc etc.

It was a bit of a letdown, but I think that's only because there were some really strong episodes before this one and it was designed to leave you on the edge.
My brother and I both celebrated when Riley "died." Let's hope she stays dead, LOL. I just want to see the John/Cameron relationship explored more without some emo girl standing in the way.

couldn't agree with you more bout Riley. Also, it was weird that Derek was just GONE the whole episode... hopefully he gets more screen time.

I've really been lovin' the show over the last few months due to Summer's emergence as the star of the show. Also all the various plot lines and new characters give one the impression that a lot lay ahead. I found the Fall finale a bit disappointing for many reasons, but I will certainly tune in February on Friday nights to see how it all ties together.
What was Riley's purpose again?....to keep John away from Cameron? Why? Is that girl, Derek's girlfriend, going to try to kill Cameron? Why?
What's with the new UFO angle? Came out of nowhere, and so far makes no sense to me. What's in that warehouse that Sarah discovered from the murdered incognito scientist? What is going on with Shirley Manson? Where's her daughter? The series sure has a lot to explain.

I won't be unhappy if Riley does die, but I doubt they will kill her off. I still don't understand what Derek's girlfriend's angle is. Why did she bring Riley back? Why does she want to keep John away from Cameron? Wouldn't it be easier to just destroy Cameron if she is some sort of threat?
The UFO thing was just out there to me and just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the show. Is the "UFO" Sarah saw in the last scene supposed to be some sort of prototype HK?
Is that supposed to be Kyle we saw in the scenes from the next episode?

HK prototype? I like that theory. Is that what was inside the secret warehouse? Maybe another site location for Shirley Manson's corporation? AI for HK's? Or just maybe Skynet IS an alien entity. An alien that can be a symbiot with machines. Maybe the whole J Day thing is a first strike and mopping-up operation for the machines, with a pending alien occupation after the machines have secured the planet?

god i hope not... i'm not a fan of the alien angle. I think that Derek's gf is pissed b/c in the future, John relies way too much on Cameron (according to her). She probably thinks that Cameron is some sort of spy or double agent, secretly working for the machines and manipulating him (although if she were working for the machines, she could just kill him)... maybe she's just uncomfortable with John being so close to a machine, relying on Cameron so much (in the future and the present), etc. I think that's her angle.
I agree that the UFO plot didn't fit in with the rest of the show - the whole "obsession with the 3 dots" plot has gotten the show way off track... still, I think it's got some good places that it can go (the show, not the UFO plot) if the writers make the right decisions.

Quote:Good question, when she said "keep John away from that girl", was she talking about Cameron or maybe somone else?

Maybe too many plot lines. Saw this happen to Twin Peeks. There were so many angles you had to keep notes to remeber who was part of what. They should resolve some of them before it gets to tangled.

ok, to the original poster, this is NOT the final ep of the season or series, just the mid-season break. all the cool (and not so cool) shows are doing it this week.(Terminator, Heroes, Chuck, Life, ETC...ok so my household is a liitle NBC centric...)
2) I seriously doubt they are playing the alien angle straight out. probably some kind of prototype that skynet sent something/someone back to build.
(here's the designs, now go back there and make what you can, so's we can hit the ground running kinda deal) or a legit DARPA or otherwise black booked gov't research project that happend to stumble on a bits & pieces of a t-XXX at some point
like cyberdyne and the forearm, or that episode of ST Voyager where they came back to the late 90's ad discovered that our whole tech revoultion of the last couple decades was based upon a crashed 29th century time pod some dude had found and reverse engineered...
as for the riley angle, if i'm remember ing the plot lines right, there were a few who in the future thought that john was relying too heavily on Metal, and far far far too much on cameron in particular. so they brought back a cute girl of about the right age to weasel her way in there and keep john from getting too close to cameron.
