WHOA!!!! I can NOT watch this yet! Why do you need to TEASE me like this! DOH!
you also gotta stop quoting shirley’s song in the titles because it’s getting stuck in my head like nobody’s business.
I CAN’T WAIT!
The Musak system in the elevator is blaring “The Girl From Ipanema.”
All three are standing there rocking back and forth on their heels, saying nothing, and looking around at the walls and ceiling and floor.
John Connor [to Ellison]: Nice tie.
Ellison: Thank you. I picked it out myself.
Sarah: Did you now?
—-
Can’t wait!!
I think they’re on the way down to see John Henry and the Turk.
My guess is that Weaver and Ellison are completely clueless as to what they should do with this newly self-aware automaton and they turn to the Connors for ‘help’.
HILARITY ENSUES!
Wow, last time Sarah was in an elevator it got ugly fast. Hope Weaver isn’t in the mood for Shish Kabob’s ala Connor.
I think Ellison gets worried about John Henry’s self awareness and goes for help. He still has no idea that Weaver is metal. “Uh, Sarah, I think I may have made a booboo.”
This might be around the scene from the wondercon spoiler reel where John leaps at Ellison saying “I’ll kill you!”. That looks like a good scene.
Everything looks good! AH! I can’t wait! The wait in the summer for S3 is gonna be awful!
I can hear it now,
Ellison: “Sarah, do you remember asking me if I had Cromartie’s chassis and I told you that I didn’t? That was really a lie. Oh, and we hooked him up to the Turk so he could play with Bionicles and rubber ducky shell games.”
J.C. ” Bionicles? Really? I’ll KILL you!”
Hey Dan, that’s funny! I love Girl from Ipanema, it’s ones of my favorites.
Sarah is humming along to Girl from Ipanema.
Ellison (thinking to himself): Wow Sarah has nice hair. I wonder what conditioner she uses. Too bad I don’t have any hair.
John (thinking to himself): Why is Ellison staring at mom like that? He better stop staring at her.
The 3 exit the elevator. Ellison is still amazed at the shine of Sarah’s hair.
John (flipping out): That’s it! Why are you staring at my mom, huh? I’M GONNA KILL YOU!!!
Wondering if letting Sarah and John in the basement is what Ellison tells Weaver he is sorry for?
@Wolfie & AdoptMeSarah…
LMFAO!!
Damn… so it is not Ellison who dies tomorrow night… I lost my bet!
Thinking about AdoptMeSarah’s post…
John Connor [screaming at Ellison]: Did you sniff my mother’s hair, you sick bastard?!!
Ellison [looking guilty as hell]: It… it was so shiny!! So… shiny… It called to me!
John Connor [lunging at Ellison]: I’LL KILL YOU!!!!
Ellison: So! Did you hear the one about the boy, the mother, and terminator?
John: I’LL KILL YOU!
Sarah: That’s the punch line.
I love you Summer!
They’re in an elevator. John Henry friggin’ owns them.
There off to see Weaver.
IMHO
John tells Sarah about Jesse. Sarah sends Cameron and Reese away, telling John that she doesn’t trust Reese anymore because he didn’t tell them about Jesse and that Cameron is going to deal with him. But Sarah and Reese have stolen the “watch” (maybe - not sure they know about that). In any case, Sarah’s plan is to have Reese terminate Cameron. Sarah is the betrayer. If Reese has the detonator, he tries using it but it doesn’t work because he has to punch the buttons in the proper sequence (that’s why there are 3 buttons). Cameron abandons John, sort of. She stays out of sight but nearby knowing that Reese and Sarah are trying to end her.
Oooh, can’t wait. John sure looks pissed off. Someone is going to get their ass kicked! He he he! THREE MORE WEEKS!!! THREE MORE WEEKS!!! THREE MORE WEEKS!!!
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray for a Terminator Season Three.
I think John has already threatened Ellison which is why he looks pissy. Sarah is saying something (perhaps snarky) and Ellison is listening.
I would like to know why my previous post is still being moderated. there’s no harsh language, no attacks on anyone etc. just guessing how the season ends. if you’d like to let me know privately that’s fine, but I really don’t understand.
Here are 3 full interviews (with Summer Shirley and JF) that you may have seen only limited clips of:

Agent Ellison: *taps Sarah on the bum* …oops.
Sarah: *thinking*…oO(Oh gods…)Oo… “erm”…*looks up at the ceiling*
John: *thinking* …oO(why did Ellison tap my mom’s…bum?)Oo…
Ellison: You didn’t see that, kid.
John: Not really but if you do it again, I’ll KILL YOU!!
lols.
John is with Cameron when he says “I’LL KILL YOU” to Ellison, so where’s she at?
I figure John threatens to kill him when he finds out Ellison lied about Cromartie’s carcass.
Going down? An Aerosmith moment comes to mind. Maybe Weaver is waiting at the
bottom as Stephen Tyler. Na that’s just weird !!!! Get out the big ten inch!!!
well either the post is too close to the truth or the moderator reads very slowly. i’ll post elsewhere thanks
@Veran,
She’s either powdering her nose or…
She’s following the Yellow Arrowed Line, Following the Yellow Arrowed Line…
She comes around the corner and who does she see? Catherine Weaver.. with open arms.
I guess… maybe… Hopefully, no flying monkeys anyway.
Is it Friday yet?
Robert,
Now that image is just so sick… it might just work! LOL!
Or in the extended version of “Born To Run”…
Things get freaky between John, Sarah, Cameron, Ellison, John Henry, Weaver, Derek, and yes, even Mr. Murch.
Que Aerosmith’s “Love In An Elevator.”
They’re livin’ it up, as they’re goin’ down.
The editor at the non-linear bay looks up at Josh Friedman weirdly.
JF: What? Ever seen “Caligula?”
Oh dear, I think we’ve all been hitting the same “wacky” stuff.
A case of the stir crazies has set in.
‘Night!
i.love.this.show.
I have a really good incling that something is gonna come out of that elevator. Yeah, they’re going down to see John Henry, but I think they may just have to face ONE small little obstacle: Ms. Weaver. Sarah better have a gun in that pocket (well, she always does, so I’m guessing she’s safe).
The first thing I thought to myself there was: hmm, John, Sarah, elevator, Ellison. Replace one of the words in that sequence with “Uncle Bob” and we’ve got a scene right out of T2, folks. Something’s going down in this episode… I CAN’T WAIT!
P.S. Anybody else have a REALLY bad feeling Derek’s the one to bite the bullet this week? He’s the only major character not mentioned in either of the final two episode summaries. I’m sorry to say it, but I think we’re about to use one of this show’s best characters and actors.
my boyfriend just told me how the season ends. pretty sure he’s right.
if you watch the preview for lighthouse carefully (listen to what Sarah says at the very beginning), and know that one of the women in John’s life is going to betray him, the rest is fairly easy to figure out.
“I’LL KILL YOU” is now a meme.
Perhaps just as he monitors other computers and apparently is capable of penetrating fire walls, JH is being monitored by another supercomputer (think NSA 10 times over what you think it’s able to do), one that has a much greater computing capacity but lacks JH’s curiosity and creativity. When John has his AHA! moment, the NaSAty supercomputer becomes confused by the input its receiving, downloads everything in JH’s memory banks and becomes aware.
PBW
@wolfie
ROFL
@Pat. Maybe true…but thanks to the magic of multiple futures and time machines we haven’t necessarily seen the last of Derek even if he were to take a bullet from Jesse this week. Woman scorned and all that.
WTF
I think Sarah and Elison are gonna have sex and John is gonna leave find Cameron and practice on her.
I love forshadowing and this is why.
Derek is being taken prisoner this episode, kidnapped.
At the end of this season John is supposed to be alone. He can’t be alone if Derek is still there, which is why he’s probably only getting taken prisoner instead of the axe.
Charley however is a much more likely target. We love him yes, not as much as the other main characters, but still we love the guy. Also Sarah and John love him too, Sarah loves him more than she loves Derek - that’s for sure. Losing him would be like losing Kyle all over again (maybe not exactly like that but still it’ll hurt) and to John it’d be like losing a father. I said “like.” We can live without Charley, he’s been extra baggage since “Mousetrap,” and the only reason the writers didn’t kill him then was because they wanted it to happen at the end when everything else was coming to a point.
So after this episode it’ll be John, Sarah, and Cameron (the starting trio) going after Weaver and JH. Ellison will be there too, trying to atone for “doing the devil’s work” - some FBI Agent he turned out to be.
Borne to Run? Interesting choice of words for the title. JH will survive, Garrett has really become a fan fav, but Weaver’s battery, I guess, is short lived. Some badguy needs to die and it will undoubtedly be her in some crazy climactic battle with Sarah and John. But Borne to Run?
I bet he leaves town. Riley’s death, Charley’s death, Ellison’s betrayal, the supposed Sarah’s betrayal and Cameron’s rumored death or abandonment? He probably comes to the conclusion that he’s screwed no matter how hard he tries. That it’s impossible for him to win (”Or maybe I wanted to win”) when so many people keep ending up dead because of him. In the season premiere John accepts responsibility for the deaths of the 20 FBI agents. He accepted responsibility for Riley’s death. He will undoubtedly accept responsibility for Charley as well. He cried when he heard what would happen to Bedel, undoubtedly he’ll accept responsibility for that. Then you also have Kyle’s death. It’s a lot for a sixteen year old to handle and even though he’s one tough cookie he’s still human, as John and Derek said last episode: “For me to make a mistake?” “For you to be human.” And then, of course, the infamous Sarah and Cameron talk about future John: “There’s only one way for him to be safe and that’s to be alone.” “What kind of life is that?” “John’s life someday.”
We need a season three! This cliffhanger is going to be too brutal otherwise.
I love you Summer!
Yeah…well at least the picture is bigger then the ones at: http://www.foxflash.com/div.php/main/page?aID=1z2z0z259z1z6
Ummm did they leave Cameron on the ground floor? Just asking. But we do know what happens when Cameron gets into an elevator…metal tends to follow. LOL
Lets look at what fox flash.com has to say about this pic:
“John, Ellison, and head into Zeira Corp”…well that was helpful!!!
But I do like the other two pics and the captions they have:
“John questions Cameron”
and
“Cameron reassures John”
*cough* Jameron *cough*
We need an edit button!!!
Hadley I have to ask are you hinting that the last few eps are going to tie back into the first ep of the season…S&D or that song at least. I only ask because the titles you keep using are the ones from the song that was used in S&D. (who’s song title I don’t know but I just found out SM sings it) A most addicting song, that I’m now humming.
What gets me is this description of that ep:
“The Connors come face-to-face with Weaver in a confrontation that shakes John to the core and changes his reality.”
I posted this in another part of the blog…somewhere but it reminds me of the wizard of oz…someone runs but finds that there’s no place like home. Hmmmm Follow the yellow brick road or clap those shoes together.
Great now I have a sudden urge to watch that movie…and sing the S&D song!!!
All I’m saying is we better get that season 3.
Looks like Ellison realizes he has made a boo-boo. Me-thinks that having the Connors in Zeira Corp is going to lead to some big trouble.
I couldn’t let this go. Dang it! Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more…
Thinking on the clip with Ellison and Weaver… and the elevator…
This Bud’s for you AdoptMeSarah (excuse the length of the post):
—-
Catherine Weaver and Ellison are walking into the elevator. Catherine looks steamed, Ellison looks guilty
Ellison: I’m sorry
Weaver [pushing the down button, with fire in her eyes]: You should be.
The doors rumble shut as if heralding the sound of the Thunder of Doom. The Musak system is spitting out another moldy oldie. There is an awkward pause. Catherine looks at Ellison (glances away, her eyes like twin daggers). Ellison looks at Catherine (and looks away). Catherine pushes the Emergency Stop button on the control panel, and turns to face Ellison.
Ellison: Are you as turned on right now as I am?
Weaver: More.
They suddenly go at it, tearing at each other like two wild teenagers under the bleachers after high school band practice. They bang up against the control panel, and inadvertently start the car moving again.
[Interior... basement elevators]
Mr. Murch is impatiently standing by the elevator doors, pushing the UP button and figeting. He’s holding a hot cup of coffee, and has already eaten up 5 minutes of his 15 minute break.
Mr. Murch [glancing at his watch]: Come on!
He looks up as the doors magically slide open to reveal a sight best left unspoken and unseen by the audience [don't worry... it isn't].
Mr. Murch [dropping his scalding hot coffee, and ignoring the searing hot liquid that has splashed back up his pant legs... his face is a mask of shock as the blood drains from it; he squeaks]: Oh… mama!
Catherine and Ellison’s heads snap around and they stare wide-eyed, like two guilty thieves caught red handed, back at Mr. Murch.
Mr. Murch [stands rooted in place, his trembling hand goes up to his gaping mouth]: That’s just not right….
The doors slide slowly closed on the scene.
I know it’s late, but I really couldn’t help myself…
Sarah [sniffs]: What’s that smell?
John [sniffs]: What smell? I don’t smell anything?
Ellison [sniffs]: I smell it too. Man, that’s foul!!
Sarah: Alright, who did it?
John: I didn’t do it.
Ellison: Well, I didn’t do it either.
John and Ellison both look at Sarah.
Sarah: Don’t look at me. I didn’t do it. I already did my business this morning.
Ellison: John did it. I know. I was an FBI agent. I can tell. It’s Johnny boy. John did it… John did it….
John: Please stop.
Ellison: John, why don’t you just be a man and admit that it was you?
John: I said stop it!
Ellison: Admit it John. You did it. Come on! Just say it. I’m John Connor. Future leader of the resistance and I farted!
John [to Ellison]: I’M GONNA KILL YOU!!
Yup,
The I’M GONNA KILL YOU! line has become rooted in the annals of television history.
You heard it here first, folks.
OK I’m enjoying all the scenarios of John saying “I’ll kill you” to Ellison heh but Ellison is wearing a different tie from the elevator and the “I’ll kill you” scene.
Sarah: “John! This place is filled with absestos!”
Ellison: “I had no idea I-I-I’m trying to hurt you I-”
John: “Absestos? I’LL KILL YOU!!!”
“Edit Button”
Whoops, I mean “I’m not trying to hurt you”
I love you Summer!
Talking of “I’m gonna kill you,” is the motorcycle killer from “Earthlings Welcome Here” still on the loose?
Now that is a loaded picture!! Ellison finally aware he made a mistake? Anyway, looks like the finale is going to be big!
Wasn’t Winston wearing motorcycle boots?
@Innocent
A current theory is that indeed it was Winston and that Kaliba have implanted a tracking chip in Sarah.
Terrible day at work……and it’s still early! You know what’s getting me through? Knowing that in under 10 hours I’ll be watching T:SCC and drooling over Cameron!
FYI: Jeff Dunham and his ventiloquist puppets, started “I’ll kill you” a long time ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uwOL4rB-go
Here’s a link for Jeff Dunham,,,LMAO, you will too.
Hadley, aaarrrrrggghhh, you are the biggest tease!
Ellison: Look Sarah, I’m in deep s**t: My boss is a damn liquid metal monster and I’m teaching the 10 commandments to an AI leaving in the basement…
Sarah: Machines are not under God jurisdiction, you should know that.
Ellison: There is something else… Vista was not working well on the AI, so we had to use Cromartie’s body as a User Interface. It turns out that was a bad idea…
John: Cromartie, what the frack are you talking about?!?
Ellison: Yes, I lied to you John. I dig him out…
John: I’ll kill you!!!
[Part 2]:
The doors to the elevator are just about to close, when Savannah whips around the corner, terror stricken.
The doors snap open, and Weaver and Ellison are seen quickly composing themselves. Weaver has just completely reconstituted herself. Ellison is hurriedly straitening his tie and smoothing his rumpled suit.
Ellison [glancing at Weaver]: You missed a spot.
Weaver [whispers]: Thanks. [her hair morphs and finally looks perfectly groomed]
They push past Mr. Murch, eyes still set and bugged out. They have all failed to notice the lights blinking and on and off. Things have been a little too distracting.
Weaver [to Murch, with an evil glint}: You didn't see anything, did you Mr. Murch...
Mr. Murch shakes his head "no" rapidly. Catherine splashes a warm smile on her face as Savannah runs up, looking as if the devil was after her. Ellison scoops her up, concern on his face.
Savannah [gibbering]: Mommy! Mommy! It’s John Henry! He’s acting like daddy did after a few beers at the Christmas Party!
Mr. Murch [to Savannah]: Dear God! He didn’t say “what is this all this about?”, did he?!
Savannah waggles her head up and down.
Mr. Murch: Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop drinking coffee! [He starts tearing down the hallway towards the computer room.]
Savannah: Mommy? Where have you been? I couldn’t find you any where.
Weaver [she looks at Ellison as they're walking]: Savannah, mommy was just… er… scolding Mr. Ellison.
Ellison: That’s right, I was… naughty.
They reach the control room to see Mr. Murch slide past John Henry as he is reaching for the PS3 dressed up to look like a three-dot-box. Murch yanks the power plug out of the wall, and sits there panting and staring up at the three.
Savannah: Yeah! Mr. Murch saves the day!!!
Everybody bursts out laughing, except for John Henry, who has collapsed on the floor. Today is just not his day.
—-
The Director: And CUT!! Okay folks, that’s a wrap.
Shirley [she stops laughing immediately, grumbles]: I’ll be in my trailer.
The Director [getting really close to Richard and Mackenzie]: Great work, as always, Mr. Jones. [he points a finger right in Mackenzie's face] And you… if you ever… ever ad lib like that again… I’m going to kill you!! [throwing his script copy down, he storms off the set]
Mackenzie and Richard look perfectly freaked out.
Garret is still laying on the floor.
Garret [gasping]: Oh God, my back!
———-
Just another quiet, uneventful day on the set. Onward to Season 3!!
Positive note for Hadley:
The biblical quotation in the song refers to a riddle Samson asks the Philistines (a secret betrayed by Delilah in another kind of foreshadowing) “The bees made honey in the lion’s head.”(after Samson killed him) If Shirley changed the line for her awesome treatment in the song, the point is mute/moot. Poetic license…
@ Dan Hitchman:
lmao, brilliant!
Oh, and I forgot to mention… the director, in the above spoof… is Ben Stiller.
All Ellison has to do to get John Henry back on the reservation, is inform him that breaking the rules always leads to punishment. Whatever punitive action is then meted out to John Henry should be sufficient to prevent him from stepping outside the program again. Cause and effect; works every time.
@Seneca,
It might work better if the punishment is meted out by Catherine.
[shrugs]I’m just saying…
Has anybody answered the question(and pardon me if there is already a general concensus on this) who the frak (assuming there’s a Skynet faction and a resistance faction) wanted to replace Ellison with a cyborg? Seeing him in that photograph just flashed me back to Cromartie blowing the poor tinkertoy away. I also thought that when the carriage(?) fell onto Ellison- shouldn’t he have suffered some broken bones from the WEIGHT of that thing? I’m just sayin’.
Dan,
Right. Catherine could put the fear of God into John Henry.
@Wolfie: Cromartie does that because Skynet didn’t believes what he was believing: “You will lead me to the Connors”
May be it is Cromartie who was doing the devil’s work after all. What if Skynet sent the Ellison-borg because Ellison was going to play a major role in JH developement. The same apply with doctor Sherman. Why send someone after him if he was helping JH to grow… It don’t make sense if John Henry = Skynet.
The terminator Ellison that Cromartie killed, what happened to that endo???
Was that ever explained somewhere?
