Episode recaps: "Vick's Chip" & "What He Beheld" | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | 3/4/2008
In the first part of the two-hour season finale, Cromartie goes from school to school, checking the records of new students searching for John Connor. Derek surprises the Connors and Cameron when he produces Vick's chip that Cameron has not destroyed, contrary to what she had told them in the past. In order to disprove his accusation of mistrust about her, Cameron works with John to pull data off the chip, including a visual record of the cyborg. As it turns out, Vick was married to Barbara Chamberlain, the City Manager for Los Angles who is responsible for creating the advanced traffic system (Automated Real Time Traffic Exchange or ARTTE) for the city. Cromartie's search leads him to John and Cameron's high-school; however Cameron is able to trick him into thinking John is not a student there. Still upset over Andy Goode's death, Sarah convinces the others to search for what they think is Barbara's body from evidence in Vick's visual record. When they discover the body, it's not... read more
Episode recap: "The Demon Hand" | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | 2/26/2008
In an episode that is chock full of references to the previous films, the main theme appears to be nature and duality of good and evil or rather, the soulful, feeling human versus the heartless, cold machine, and how each can mimic the other but never can truly be the same.Cameron acquires a police uniform and motorcycle, disables a portion of the city's power grid then uses the power outage and her disguise to easily enter the police station that is supposed to have the missing Terminator hand (from the episode, “Queen's Gambit”). Cameron discovers that the hand is not in the evidence room but in the possession of Agent Ellison. Sarah takes matters into her own hands (heh) by tracking down Agent Ellison. It seems that Ellison has not been just twiddling his thumbs (heh) as he has been continuing to piece everything together. He studies the video taped sessions of Sarah while she was in Pescadero State Hospital and even visits the institution, including her old room... read more
Episode recap: "Dungeons and Dragons" | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | 2/19/2008
While Derek is being treated for the gunshot wound he sustained from the Terminator in the previous episode, we are presented with a serious of flashbacks (flashforwards?) of his experiences in the future that led up to his teleportation to this time period. During this series of flashbacks, we meet Derek's brother, Kyle (for the first time in the series); Derek, Kyle and crew are captured in a failed mission after witnessing Terminators and later Hunter Killers transporting what appear to be aircraft engines; after being held captive, they are mysteriously allowed to escape and discover that their base of operations was destroyed; it is revealed that future Andy Goode was in fact responsible for the creation of Skynet and Derek was the one responsible for present-day Andy's murder; and finally Derek and Cameron did meet in the future (following along so far? Whew!) Back in the present, Charlie finally finds out the 'truth' about Sarah, John and much to his chagrin,... read more
Episode recap: "Queen's Gambit" | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | 2/12/2008
“To win you must be patient, bold, calculating. And most of all: willing to sacrifice.”—Sarah ConnorAndy Goode contacts Sarah to invite her to a computer chess tournament that he has entered. Andy's new version of The Turk, the chess computer that Sarah destroyed when she burned down his house, is entered into the competition —the grand prize being is lucrative military contract. Chromartie, under the guise of Special Agent Kester, contacts Charlie Dixon to see if he has any information about the Connors. John and Cameron deal with the aftermath of the suicide at school. John again encounters Cheryl Weston whom he is told is “damaged goods.” Back at the chess tournament, Andy's computer loses the match much to the relief of Sarah, who was mulling over killing him. Shockingly, Andy is later found dead by Sarah in his hotel room. She is able to chase down the possible killer but the police arrive and apprehend him before she can interrogate him. After... read more
Episode recap: "Heavy Metal" | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | 2/5/2008
“If you're gonna be a hero, you gotta learn how to drive stick.”—Sarah ConnorWhile John laments over the death of Jordan Cowon, Cameron discovers that Cromartie was able to make the trip ahead with them into the future via news footage from a cell phone camera (she doesn't sleep, after all). With a newspaper reports of an arson at a dock and the re-routing of coltan, a 'key element' in the construction of cyborgs, Cameron deduces that Cromartie is attempting to reconstruct or repair himself. The group decides to be pro-active, instead of running like John thinks his mother always wants to do, and intercept Cromartie as he picks up the coltan. At the docks, they discover that it is not Cromartie, who is busy getting some plastic surgery done, but rather another model Terminator that is programmed to stockpile the element for Skynet's future plans. John forces Sarah and Cameron's hand into helping secure the element and effectively dealing with the new Terminator.... read more
