INTERNAL MEMO
RE: ADAM RAISED A CAIN
What: The Connors close in on Skynet and battle lines are drawn. When John attempts to rescue Skynet’s latest target he finds himself closing in on Weaver, but at what cost? Game plans change, causing Sarah and Ellison to reunite. Meanwhile, Weaver learns Ellison’s secrets.
Who: Written by Toni Graphia (Ourselves Alone, Allison from Palmdale, The Demon Hand), directed by Charles Beeson (Allison from Palmdale, The Demon Hand).
Why: “Let me talk to Weaver.” -Sarah Connor
Where: FOX
When: Friday @ 8PM/7PMc
This message will self-destruct in ten minutes…
I can’t wait for this episode! May give us more insight into what Weaver is planning.
Why: “Let me talk to Weaver.” -Sarah Connor
She wants to tell CW that her daughter is in danger.
“Why: “Let me talk to Weaver.” -Sarah Connor”
Holy Tcshit! Be careful Sarah! Bring your trusty shotgun with you! (Tho it has hardly any effect on a T1001, I know!)
“This message will self-destruct in ten minutes…”
Uh oh…guess I’d better run then…;)
“Weaver learns Ellison’s secrets.”
Wouldn’t JH already know that SC didn’t die in the bank. That news clip must be out there in cyberspace someplace (and Ellison lied to JH about SC’s death).
I’ve enjoyed Toni’s eps. I’m looking forward to seeing what she did with this one.
If Sarah is aligning with Ellison and we see John in a preview freaking out on Ellison I have to wonder if Cameron is on the wrong side of the AI wars. What I mean is above it states battle lines are drawn. Is everyone in the Connor pack/Cameron on the same side of the line, I think not.
@Spudster
I believe J.H. made the statement to Ellison,”You never did find Sarah Conner - did you Mr. Ellison?”
Maybe J.H. knows that the Connors are alive, but not that Ellison ‘found’ them. Maybe J.H. discovering that Ellison has lied to him will not only support C.W.’s statement that ‘humans will let you down’ but that will also push J.H. into learning about the concept of deception.
Is it Friday yet?
@Wolfie, when Ellison said that he had not found Sarah, in his pause, I wondered if he was justifying the statement because Sarah found him, and not the other way around.
Can’t wait til friday!
i like Toni’s ep very much! AfP was a high shot, really.
I hope he’s gonna givin us some fun
JH ’s becoming more and more creepy…Will be able the Connors to stop him?
I’m trying to understand Weaver’s plan…this change of perspective (a thinkin Terminator against a killin Terminator) caused by Weaver’s action makes me crazy…
Who’s gonna betray john ?!? Cam?
Can’t waiiit
Excellent distinction Jack! I hadn’t thought of that!
Also, John’s little freak out might have more to do with the fact that Ellison lied about his taking Cromartie’s endo.
I think that’s the most likely explanation CJ.
Isn’t it interesting how the ‘morally superior’ teacher of John Henry seems to have the best deception skills of any character?
yeah it’s true
Ellison told a lot of lies, about cormartie’s endo, about Sarah…
In the end, maybe is he skynet’s father… ?
Adam as father to Cain?
The brakes are off the roller coaster now, for sure!
These next two weeks are going to absolutely rock.
I think the proverbial fan is gonna need to be sanitized soon!
Did anybody else notice the THREE DOTS on “To The Lighthouse” when John Henry was being “probed”? Inside the basement where JH is kept, on The Turk near the power button there were three red lights in the pattern of the three dots on the wall of the (now) old Connor house.
@R, re: the 3 dots
yep someone mentioned those 3 dots in the discussion after last Friday’s ep. pretty sure the gang will freak out if they see those.
R. - I did!
I can’t wait for Friday!
Weaver: “Humans will disappoint you.”
OMG! THIS IS IT!!!!
ELLISON DISAPPOINTS JOHN HENRY!!!!
WHAT will be the repercussions of that?!!!!!
Please, Toni, I love your episodes, don’t you want give us a satisfying explanation to Alison story?
Cameron’s model hasn’t been revealed yet! She said she’s different, but in what ways and why? Cameron was dancing when Sarah said, machine can’t create art, when they can, they actually became “us”. Does that suppose to mean Cameron already one of “us”? As a terminator, she has the self-consciousness to Override the terminate John mission. Moreover, she has the memory of Alison Yong, a real girl, and she can totally act like a real girl, all her actions and emotions can be real, not just programmed mimicking human stuffs.
Will these mysteries about Cameron be answered in the remaining 2? Or we have to wait for season 3 until “no one gets satisfied”?
*stares defiantly at your self-destruct message* HA! I’m still here to fight another day! NOW, let me talk to Weaver.
No April Fools joke here, just some dedicated soul doing a scene/episode breakdown of each character. It’s still in progress.
http://cjcs.com/tib/3091/ttscc-character-in-scene-counts/
It confirms what many of us have speculated.
Somebody play an April Fools joke on me to get me in a better mood.
Another good blog IMHO.
http://cjcs.com/tib/3132/ttscc-the-peanuts-effect/
Cameron is the “Snoopy” or “Fonz” of the show.
Originally “Peanuts” was created around a boy named Charlie Brown. Then along came a beagle called Snoopy and stole the readers’ interest, and Charlie became less popular.
This is the same with “Happy Days.” Supposedly, the show was supposed to be about Richie Cunningham and his exploits. Then they introduced a leather-jacketed, motorcycle-lovin’, jukebox-controlling cool-cat by the name of “The Fonz.”
And the rest, as they say, is history.
Man I so cant wait, this show better get a season 3
The gunshots in Charley’s chest were in the shape of three dots.
From the promo photos this is also the episode where Sarah gets arrested. Perhaps that’s the cost of John getting closer to Weaver.
Weaver learns Ellisons secrets?
I’ll take that to mean she learns that Sarah and John are alive and that must have something to do with how Sarah winds up in jail. Oh this is gonna get ugly.
Dan:
You’re not allowed to talk about Summers popularity on this blog. It makes “certain people” cranky.
Toni writers some amazing episodes. I can’t wait.
Ah screw it I’ll say what I want damn it. Dan, you are quite right but Charles Schultz and the producers of Happy Days had the good sense to take advantage of these characters success rather than rebel against it. That is how icons are made.
@Snake,
That was the point of the blog article. The creators/producers saw it play out as described and changed gears accordingly to fit with what the audience was looking for.
“The Peanuts Gang” has been around for decades and “Happy Days” is a phenomenon to this day with many, many seasons (still popular ratings-wise even after The Fonz literally “jumped the shark”) under its belt. I, for one, saw them all.
Sarah want to talk to Weaver… Incredible… Finally!!! That one sentence turned your blog post into pure win for me Hadley
*Grabs internal memo*
Interesting…very, very interesting.
I just LOVE Toni Graphia’s writing.
“This message will self-destruct in ten minutes…“
Only in 10 minutes. LOL Wow Skynet must be getting slow. A super computer would have read it in a split second.
But wow…love the sound of this…
Bring on Friday!!!
I LOVE TONI EPISODES!!
Her and Josh are competing for my vote for all time favorite T:SCC writer…
since it’s Toni trademark…GIVE US MORE CAMERON PLEASE!!
SNAKE, WILL SCREAM MY CAMINATOR LOVE FROM THE TOP OF A VERY HIGH TREE!!
NO ONE CAN SILENCE ME!! *EVIL LAUGH*
I like episodes written and directed by people who made this episode. Can’t wait till Friday!!!
Weaver + Sarah + John! Wow! We are coming close to the secret!
I can’t wait: Finally, the Connors will meet with Weaver.
I think Skynet will not like that: 2 foes that meet together… could only mean troubles and diminished probability of survival from Skynet’s point of view.
Violence will, without any doubt, ensue.
With John being so close to Savannah and the mysteries of the universe in Dr. Sherman’s office and not knowing it, one thing comes to mind:
In my best Don Adams voice: Missed it by that much…
