  1. Oh gosh, no idea…

    sounds slightly sardonic… sarah, ellison mr. munch (or however you spell that dude’s name) it’s a toss up…

    gotta love toss ups…

  2. Wow, what a great stand-alone quote.

    And let the speculation commence…

  3. I was thinking John Henry, he was definitely the first to come to mind after I read it. And the post title, I thought about it for a moment and connected each of the names (samson, delilah, etc) to a character on TSCC.
    Samson - John
    Delilah - Cameron
    Adam - Skynet
    Abel/Cain - John Henry/his ‘Brother’ not sure which would be which but probably John Henry as Abel and his ‘Brother’ as Cain, at least that’s what it seems like for now.

    Any thoughts? I’ll try to check but my computer had the indecency to crash today.

  4. Definitely an answer to a question either by Cameron or John Henry.

  5. No idea…. A lot of characters are good at making sarcastic comments… we’ll soon know :)

  6. “It’s possible heaven has a hardware problem.”

    Cameron or JH… Or may be Derek answering sarcastically Cameron’s question about heaven or such.

  7. Sounds like Cameron to me.

  8. Sounds like JH’s critique of the hinge joint vs. the ball joint.

  9. LOL that is a great quote. It just makes me laugh.
    Its Friday…happy dance.:)

    Actually when I read the title, Dan maybe you can appreciate this, it reminds me of that song “Someday we’ll know why samson love delilah”. :D

  10. “My God, what hast thou twat?”

    John Henry on his Twitter page.
    —-

    Catherine: John Henry? John Henry, are you even paying attention to me?

    John Henry is twittering away on his I-Phone.

    John Henry [looking up, dazedly]: Whaaa? Did you say something?

    Catherine [grabbing the I-Phone away]: Give me that!

    Catherine snaps it in two and tosses the parts on the ground.

    Catherine: This will be you if you don’t start listening to… what the hell…? What are you doing now?

    John Henry has whipped out a WebCam and is capturing his reactions to Weaver.

    John Henry: I’m vlogging myself.

    Catherine [hanging her head, and flopping back in her chair, and deeply sighing]: I give up. I really do.

    John Henry is still vlogging away.

    Catherine [getting up and slumping away out of the room]: F–k it! I’m getting a latte.

    :D

    Is it 7pm yet?

    re-capticha says: “afternoon’s women” Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Today’s my lucky day! LOL!

  11. Cameron, Sarah and C.W.?

    ReCaptchaNet says: New Jaffer

  12. @Wolfie,

    A Jaffer, is that a car? Where can I get me one of those shiny new Jaffers, anyway?

    As for the quote, it sounds like something Cameron would say, or someone snarkily replying to what Cameron just said.

  13. Given the latest hurricanes and other climate changes, it certainly does have a hardware problem.

    ReCaptcha: “Asbury agree”

    Btw, Imdb says: TSCC 24% up in the ratings last week.

  14. Is it true that the season finale is on next Sunday? A two hour deal, maybe?

    That would be cool, and if the episode is explosively good as Josh has stated, then that would definitely bode well for the ratings, and a Season 3.

  15. As in the Sunday after next…?

    The “machine” says: “contract tangled.” As in the contract with Terminator got entangled with Fox and they will say yes, because it’s the right thing to do?

    This phrase box is better than the Magic 8-Ball I had as a kid. :D

  16. Reminiscent of the Replicant, Roy Batty’s (Rutger Hauer) lines from Blade Runner:
    “I’ve done questionable things, but nothing the God of bio-mechanics wouldn’t let you into heaven for.”

    Also, “Not an easy thing, to meet your maker.”

  17. @Seneca,

    Or Kermit The Frog…

    “It’s not easy being green…”

    True, Kermit, very true.

  18. Dan,
    Enjoy tonight’s show. It should be a good one.

  19. Samson=John Connor
    Delilah=Cameron
    Adam=Ellison
    Cain=John Henry
    Abel=John Henry’s “brother”

    All biblical references.

  20. Uh-oh! Might want to read the comment b Richard Steven Hack, folks. Jameronians beware!

    ReCaptchaNet says: Stories Ben

    Story has been? It’s over? Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. Yes, Seneca, it will be a good one.

    @Spencer… Hum… Maybe switch between Cain and Abel in your list. It’s Abel that get killed by Cain… I don’t think JH is strong enough to kill Skynet… not yet and not without the help of the Connor Clan.

    ReCaptcha: 5,300 spending…

  22. No doubt it’s John Henry. He’s got the religious background so it fits the character and second they wouldn’t give Cameron a line that long.

  23. @Dan i.r.t. Jaffer comment.

    Not sure aboot the 20’s(?) auto slang. It’s close to J.A.F.O. which reminds me of the film Blue Thunder though. R.I.P. Roy Scheider.

    RCN says: stored Revenue

    Hear that, FOX? There’s a hidden goldmine in this franchise!

  24. The day can’t go by fast enough. Must… get… to… 8… pm…

    I love these teaser quotes by the way… This one in particular. It’s going on my site.

  25. I’m thinking Cameron because of her queries in S&D (or was it Automatic?). Aside from that, the quote reminded me of this article: http://www.khouse.org/articles/1998/62/ There are many articles like it on the site.

    The basic premise is that Heaven is the real world and this world is but a ‘computer program’. Sin is like malware that is corrupting all the files (which is why the world seems to be headed to Hell in a handbasket). I could go and on about this… Another great read is “The Great Divorce” by C. S. Lewis. He was writing about virtual realities before there were computers! LOLOLOLOLOLOL

    In short, Heaven doesn’t have a hardware problem, we have a software problem. LOL (And, relax, even though I’m a Christian, the religious stuff is all fun for me. I’m not going to call you a heathen if you believe differently. LOL)

  26. @Wolfie,

    I think that “stored revenue” is the money that everyone is keeping under their mattresses now.

    And a “Jaffer” that may be some new sort of wedgie that nerds get in high school.

    “No, Biff! Don’t give me a jaffer! Anything, but a jaffer!”

    RCN says: “fullness sponsored.”

    As in “Terminator” is brought to you tonight, commercial-free, by Prescott Pharmaceuticals.

    Only catch being…

    You have to get a colonoscopy right after the show. And judging by their probe (a stick with a disposable Kodak camera on the end)… you only want to have one! Believe me! LOL!!

  27. LOL!

    RCN says: Chatham Rixey

    Sounds like a Pharm corp. name!

  28. John Henry’s response after he asks Cameron to join him and she declines

  29. John’s Henry’s response after he asks Cameron to join him and she declines.

  31. “This Is The Best Year To Be A Terminator Fanatic”

    Nice article

  32. Spudster, sounds more like a hydraulic failure then.

  33. John Henry witnessing his first lightning storm?

    Look’s like it should be a good ep.

  34. Nice article @ io9 Spudster

  35. I think John said it.

  36. Either JH or Sarah. It sounds like a robot response (JH) but it fits Sarah’s personality. I don’t think it is Cameron although it is possible.

    Friday is HERE!

  37. @Snake

    “Heaven” being Cameron of course

  38. Um, John describing Cameron as “heaven” with dreamy eyes, and thinking this scene from “Top Hat?”

    Ladies and Gentlemen, the incomparable Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing “Cheek to Cheek.”

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYHZh-xnqhE

    Then Sarah states: “It’s possible heaven has a hardware problem.”

    Could be? :D

  39. @Dan, when John described Cameron as “heaven”? I can’t remember this.

  40. Some great writing/dialogue in the last episode, for sure. Garret Dillahunt was great again. Great blend of creepiness and yet, a child-like will to do the right thing for those he feels an attachment to — I feel that his AI character really has the potential to go “either way” from a human standpoint.

  41. Why Friday night???? Doesn’t FOX realize that alot of this shows demo is at sports events or out having fun on a Friday night??? Talk about stupid! They say they are disappointed in the ratings drop in Terminator,,, did they not realize that would happen placing it on Friday night?? Put it on Tues or Wed! This is one of the few shows that I actually enjoy these days,, and I hope for a Season 3 and new time slot so this show is not just being set up for Termination!
