Someone’s shooting at Sarah Connor in this coming Monday’s big fall finale, Earthlings Welcome Here. Didn’t they catch Alex Akagi and the last time someone tried to start something with her? She’s certainly not who I’d want to mess with. See what goes down at 8PM/7PMc. Live on FOX.
I just knew it! Linda Hamilton is finally gunning for Lena!
Almost certainly a Terminator on that bike, though not sure which one. I don’t believe Sarah could fire over a dozen shots at close range at a human and not stop him (or her, the rider looks fairly small). Even if the bike’s moving, the rider has no cover.
Unless Sarah’s got Storm Trooper sights on her pistol…
Got a couple more Cameron/John-esque songs for everyone to peruse and hopefully get a kick out of.
Neil Young’s “Like A Hurricane”
Once I thought I saw you
In a crowded hazy bar,
Dancin’ on the light
From star to star.
Far across the moonbeam
I know that’s who you are,
I saw your brown eyes
Turnin’ once to fire.
You are like a hurricane
There’s calm in your eye.
And I’m gettin’ blown away
To somewhere safer
Where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I’m getting blown away.
I am just a dreamer,
But you are just a dream,
And you could have been
Anyone to me.
Before that moment
You touched my lips
That perfect feeling
When time just slips
Away between us
On our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There’s calm in your eye.
And I’m gettin’ blown away
To somewhere safer
Where the feelin’ stays.
I want to love you but
I’m getting blown away.
Blown away.
You are just a dreamer,
And I am just a dream.
You could have been
Anyone to me.
Before that moment
You touched my lips
That perfect feelin’
When time just slips
Away between us
On our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There’s calm in your eye.
And I’m gettin’ blown away
To somewhere safer
Where the feelin’ stays.
I want to love you but
I’m getting blown away.
Good, solid, classic music that also rocks.
This one’s a little more light-hearted and fun. Enjoy!
Talking Heads’ “The Lady Don’t Mind”
Last time she jumped out the window, well, she only turned and
smiled. You might think she would say something, but you’d have to
wait a while.
Well the lady don’t mind.
No, no, no, the lady don’t mind
She just turns her head and disappears and
I kinda like that style
Little boat that floats on a river, it’s drifting through a haze
She floats by whenever she wants to, well, there she goes again
Well, it’s no trouble at all.
No, no, no trouble at all
Well, what she does
is all right with me, and
I kinda like that style
Come on. come on. I go up and down.
I like this curious feeling. I know, I see.
It’s like make believe. Cover your ears
so you can’t hear what I’m saying.
I’m not lost but I don’t know
Where I am. I got a question.
All right. All right. This is what we like.
Who knows, who knows,
What I am thinking
She says love is not what she’s after,
but everybody knows.
Each time she looks in the mirror well,
she lets her feelings show.
Well, the lady don’t mind
No, no, no, the lady don’t mind.
She just turns around and dissappears,
I kinda like that style
Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Here we go again
I don’t know, I don’t know,
What I’m sayin’.
Hey man. Hey man.
I sure don’t feel the same
She likes to say what she’s feeling
Hey. Did I get a big surprise.
I know you think so.
Come on. Come on. She says anything.
Who knows, who knows,
what she’s thinking.
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Seems a little unlike Sarah to blast a whole clip and not take the time to aim at least one shot. But then again it seemed a little unlike John to lose at Gears of War. Seems like these saviors of the human race could have spent more time at Enrique’s rifle range.
Chris: LOL!!
Do they also teach “How to Reload Without Fumbling Through Your Pockets” at Enrique’s Range O’ Rifles? Cuz that would be helpful too.
One last song before I go…
Another Talking Heads gem for TSCC.
“Life During Wartime”
Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway
a place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I’m gettin’ used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto
I’ve lived all over this town
This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
this ain’t no foolin’ around
No time for dancin’, or lovey-dovey
I ain’t got time for that now
Transmit the message, to the receiver
hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, a couple of visas
don’t even know my real name
High on a hillside, the trucks are loading
everything’s ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, and I work in the nightime
I might not ever get home
This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
this ain’t no foolin’ around
This ain’t no night club, or C. B. G. B.
I ain’t got time for that now
Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
somebody seen you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
to last a couple of days
But I ain’t got no speakers
ain’t got no headphones
ain’t got no records to play
Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time
Can’t write a letter, can’t send no postcard
I ain’t got time for that now
Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
we blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we’re tappin’ phone lines
I know that that ain’t allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle so many times now
I don’t know what I look like!
You make me shiver, I feel so tender
we make a pretty good team
Don’t get exhausted, I’ll do some drivin’
you ought to get you some sleep
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
They won’t help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
the burning keeps me alive…
This is going to be the longest weekend in History! >< I am beyond excited to watch the new episode, thanks for the previews!
Hey guys! Ever thought of having a cameo by Dick Miller again before he retires?
We never saw him get killed, just shot off camera! LOL! It might be a very cool nod to the original films.
Cameron and John come into his gun shop to get another gun or two.
Cameron [walking up to the counter wearing shades and leather gloves]: “I need a phase plasma rifle in a 40-watt range, a 9mm U…”
Dick [interrupting her]: “Only what you see here, miss… [thinking hard] Wait a minute… you aren’t part of that same gang that shot up the town in the 80’s are you? I…I already got a metal plate in my head thanks to you hooligans!”
Cameron [leaning in slightly, in awe]: “You have a metal plate too?”
Dick [backing away]: “Tell that, that big Austrian guy… he can have the whole damn store! I’m too old for this crap!”
He throws the keys to John and escapes out the front door in fear.
Cameron turns back to John, confused.
Cameron: “What did I say?”
John, smiling at her, starts loading up with merchandise.
Cameron starts grabbing ammo.
When they leave [taking the surveillance] they set some diamonds on the counter (they’re not really stealing) with a note that reads: Happy retirement!!
I love the show, but don’t get the praise for Sarah being a piss poor shot.
Hmm, wonder who that could be on the bike…
Dan Hitchman: Got another song for yah. One of my favourite songs for the John/Cameron relationship. (It’s actually a duet. Listen to it!!)
What Have You Done
By Within Temptation
Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices
Than to harm the one I love
What have you done now?
I know I’d better stop trying
You know that there’s no denying
I won’t show mercy on you now
I know I should stop believing
I know that there’s no retrieving
It’s over now
What have you done?
What have you done now?
I, I’ve been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There’s a curse between us
Between me and you
What have you done?
What have you done now?
What have you done ?
What have you done now?
Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to
Cause you have turned into my worst enemy?
You carry hate that I feel
It’s over now
What have you done
What have you done now
I, I’ve been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There’s a curse between us
Between me and you
What have you done?
What have you done now?
What have you done?
What have you done now?
I will not fall
Won’t let it go
We will be free
When it ends
I, I’ve been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
What have you done now?
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There’s a curse between us
Between me and you
Hey Dan - this might not be the best forum to break out into song given that we want the writers and others to pay attention to us. It’s a wall of words to which not everyone relates. Let’s put this gun back into the holster, friend.
Logan:
The music swells, Cameron goes to open her mouth dramatically, and… Logan stops the proceedings… and the music dies!
Cameron: “But… but I feel a certain song coming on…”
Logan: “Wait! Wait just one doggone minute! There’ll be nooo singing here on Terminator, Alison.”
Cameron [peeved]: “Cameron.”
Logan: “Um, sorry… Cameron.”
Cameron pulls out a gun and shoots Logan.
Cameron: “I hate critics.”
And the music starts back up again.
LOL!!!
Callie,
Goog song! Good call! Sounds very similar to Evanescence.
For right now I can see that song definitely working for the current relationship between John and Cameron as things are dicey.
But, if they can patch things up, I’d see that song more between John and Riley because there is a such a curse hanging over them. More lies and deceit than you can shake a stick at.
Or… maybe a tragic love song between Derek and Jesse? Jesse seems like a real snake, to me, anyway.
—
As for song sharing and suggestions, I would rather NOT have to post these strings of lyrics, but I’m stuck because when I give a link to listen to said song, I always get the dreaded “your post is awaiting moderation” and no one can see my thoughts.
Anyhoo, I hope everyone has enjoyed the music! All in good fun, I say!
@Chris
“But then again it seemed a little unlike John to lose at Gears of War.”
Being good at real-world CQC marksmanship and tactics has very little to do with being good at pressing the right buttons and levers on a plastic controller you’ve had thirty seconds of experience with.
Though I admit, I did kind of hope we would see John somehow own everyone on GoW.
Great Scene ! its why i love so mutch Sarah ! she kick ass !!
I think the point of John losing at GoW was that it reminded him too much of killing.
Again, I think it would have worked better, since this is still a fictional story, if John had done something that got an INNOCENT person killed or seriously hurt due to stupidity or a mistake in judgement.
Then I could see why he was acting so messed up and guilt-ridden.
As it stands, he killed someone, Sarkissian, who was trying to kill his mother and would not have played patty-cake with him afterwards.
Now John just seems selfish and foolish, lazy, jerkish, mean, and a whole lot of other negative things.
That can’t be helping the ratings… he IS John Connor after all, and NOT exactly supposed to be “normal.”
He needs to be turned around and shown the errors of his ways, and allowed to apologize to Cameron and his mom for his behavior. He can’t stay this way for the rest of the season, or I’m afraid there won’t be a season 3.
Very few will want to see it IMHO.
Is it Monday yet? Oh and I could come across time for Sarah Connor, just like Kyle!
Emm veru interesting. It could be Jesse, or just someone totally new we dont know about. If it was a terminator i dont think it would of missed Sarah so easily and if it did it would of just got off the bike and chased her not run away.
It has to be a human, that is something we can all agree with.
Please Dan stop filling this blog with your songs, it is not wanted here. use the fox messsage boards for that PLEASE
@darmaniii
I too found it interesting that the person/terminator on the bike looked rather small. Maybe a female?
Even though the topic states they are shooting at Sarah, there is someone else with her. Maybe whoever the person she is with is the target, not Sarah.
It’s nice to see Sarah in action! Does escapism get ANY BETTER than people shooting at you while they are on a motorcycle and you firing back at them — shooting out car windows?!?!
Fun visuals and nice to see…it sure beats Sarah sitting in a hospital playing nursemaid all episode…
I like the mix of quiet moments with action on the show — because ultimately it’s the characterization that brings us back…but seeing Lena and Summer kick @$$ is the one of the best guilty pleasures ever.
Keep up the great work. It’s always a treat to see the show ready to go on the DVR!
I wonder if Sarah or that man she’s with is the target?
Go Sarah! Kick some motorbike ass!
So I don’t up take any more space for these songs, be sure to join the discussion here:
http://terminatorwiki.fox.com/thread/2125889/The+NEW+%22Song+Suggestions+for+TSCC%22+Thread–+POST+HERE%21
Some very interesting suggestions so far, IMHO.
If you have something to contribute, don’t be shy! Always enjoy good music.
Believe it or not I am looking forward to this half season cliff hanger.
My bet is still for the mysterious motorcycle gang-banger to be Linda Hamilton. There can be only ONE Sarah Connor! Like Highlander. LOL!
They may end this episode with another Mexican standoff with Cameron and Derek pointing guns at Jesse and Riley and John pointing a gun at Cameron and Sarah trying to decide between the two sides… who does she hate more? Cameron or Riley… and who the heck is this Jesse character?
Will John grow a brain?
Find out next February… on Fox! It’s soooo fresh!
I cannot take credit for this saying, but it seems to fit. It’s pure gold!
Ala Heroes:
“SMACK THE KID, SAVE THE SHIPPERS!”
All these songs!
…feels like Disney’s “Enchanted”!
Cameron looks up with happy eyes; “How will I knooooow?”
*chuckles*
/ Daniel
Who’s on the bike, you ask?
My money’s on Charley Dixon.
It would be so cool to have him return in some kind of revenge plot against the machines. Would also explain why his face is covered with that black helmet, plus the jacket is familiar, and did anyone else notice how deliberately in-accurate his shots were?
Hey does anyone else think that the person sarah was shooting at was riley or jesse. Maybe Sarahs found out what they’re doing and they want her out of the picture because she tries to stop them.
I think that the person sarahs shooting at is Riley. Maybe sarah figured out what her and Jesse are doing and thinks that cmeron should still be around to protect John.
oops sorry for the two posts
I just want more incredibly hot australian chics on next season… but i do feel that the authorities should have slammed down on them with a million tons of armor and bullets, how come the police or army are never around chasing these people who leave bigger trails than a mutant snail?
I’m beginning to realise that T:TSCC is a great show. The show’s strengths are subtlety, sophistication, prudent use of ambiguity, tight writing, great casting, and understated acting.
The show can often be at its strongest at its quietest moments. A great line of dialogue here and there. I feel like the show keeps surprising me, both with the quality of its writing and the depth of its characters.
Keep up the good work! T:TSCC has excitement, nuance, a compelling narrative and the abilty to discomfort you when it needs to. There have been some great episodes this season.
I say Jesse’s on that bike. I don’t trust her at all. I don’t think Sarah knows who is shooting at her, but she certainly isn’t standing by the sidelines while someone tries to kill her! Veran, I wish Charley would come back too, but I doubt he’s going to come back by trying to kill Sarah. I think Charley still loves Sarah. Tomorrow night will be interesting.
Shouldn’t Jesse know better than to fool around with Sarah Connor? She might as well ride the bike off a freakin’ big cliff!
Too bad I didn’t think of this sooner, but someone just spurred me on with a comment they made. How about THIS for a BIG reveal of who Catherine Weaver (the liquid metal T series version) REALLY is?
Do a flash back to the 90’s where the steel plant workers from Terminator 2 are emptying the vat of molten steel, and cleaning the plant after the destruction that took place there, and an encrusted, blackened, twisted “thing” is revealed inside the goop.
The workers and tech crews are really curious about this freaky looking object and fish it out. They take it to a containment area (since it’s giving off strange readings).
Some time later the head of the company calls in a group of scientists to investigate this find. It’s like a new type of metal composition… otherworldy.
A couple of the scientists are poking and prodding the mass (now super cooled because it was extremely hot), and then… it CRACKS open! They jump back. They think it was just a reaction to the cold, but then a pulsing silver sludge oozes out of the crust and pours into the containment box.
The two scientists look at each other in amazement and lean in closely to take a look at this bizarre silver material that acts as if it’s alive, but somewhat sluggish.
It then gets shipped to a research facility in L.A. where it starts to gain strength and finally escapes by whipping out some tentacles that turn into sharp stabbing weapons and kills the scientists. It then morphs into one of them, hides the bodies, and walks right out the front door… pass in hand. Then it morphs into ROBERT PATRICK.
He walks up to a guy on a cool motorcyle and says: “Say, that’s a nice bike.”
And away we go!
Cool idea, but would not make any sense at all. His mission was to kill John. Not start up a tech company.
Though still, maybe that would have been a second objective if the first on failed. Maybe it just gave up on John.
WillWood,
I didn’t clearly specify the time line, and that’s my fault.
The entombed T-1000 from T2 is taken from the molten steel soon after the events in T2. It then goes through a couple of hands where it winds up at a covert research facility in L.A.
It awakens and escapes in about 2004 or 2005.
Because the T-1000 has been severely traumatized by its ordeal it takes awhile for it to come back to full force. It is basically rogue now, supposedly like Cameron is, and can act on its own volition.
Remember that T-1000 units are living metal things or organisms (like a really smart amoeba) and hard to control by Skynet, according to canon. They had to be living so they could go through the time vortex. Skynet probably made a BIG mistake when it started tampering with new forms of life… like its own standard Terminators. Oops!
The master has become the student.
You don’t have to have Robert Patrick on very many times, just to establish that when you pull the mask off of Weaver for the audience the first time and when you get to… SURPRISE, JOHN! It’s your old buddy. Thought you could get rid of me that easily? Think again!
Establish that Robert Patrick, with no direction and no John to hunt, becomes curious about, perhaps… religion, art, philosophy, etc. as it lives among humans.
After a while it grows fascinated by what the real Catherine Weaver and her husband are doing at Zera Corp. It decides to take her place, and we know the rest of the story.
Robert Patrick then morphs into Shirley Manson until the time John Connor meets her face to face. John thinks he going to be killed, but is surprised at what Robert Patrick’s character has turned into, especially having a human daughter to take care of. It’s changed him/her… maybe for the better.
It would smash the ratings through the roof!
Stunt casting? Sure! But damn awesome IMHO and it may just insure more seasons to come!
I just thought of a side benefit to all this. Catherine finally, in an act of guilt (?), comes clean to Savannah about who and what she is.
Savannah is at first freaked out, but then finds it kind of neat (as a young child tends to switch emotional gears quickly), when Catherine switches to Robert Patrick mode and still acts kindly towards her.
She not only has a mother, but a father wrapped into one being.
Hmmm…?
jdanielj,
I was always partial to “The Sound of Music” or “The Music Man” myself!
Cameron starts twirling around on top of a mountain (while John and Sarah look on baffled and bewildered) and belts out…
“The hills are alive with the sound of music!!”
Sarah turns to John, and pulls out her glock: “I think we should just put her down.”
@Dan, haha that would be very funny to watch. Bring on tonights episode yay. Well il watch it on tuesday
Mane it is not riley or jesse on the bike.It is an unkown person as of now. Its not a terminator eiether because since when does a terminator run from their target when their right in front of them. It has to b a human.
