Sarah Connor Chronicles: Goodbye To All That, an episode review

The last time I looked, Cameron is in psycho-Terminator mode, but she's obviously learned to conceal it well. Artificial intelligence indeed.

Anyway, Goodbye To All That returns to a classic Terminator premise - the phonebook killer. When a terminator can't locate a person down through the normal records, they'll hunt through the local phonebook to get a name and address and work through each person of that name until they're all dead. It happened to one Miss Sarah Connor once.

So, history repeats itself when our intrepid gang of technophobes discover a plot to kill one Martin Bedell. Bedell is a key military strategist to the future resistance, and obviously important enough to snuff out now. Thankfully, Derek Reese is a step ahead of the terminators on this one and knows Bedell is at a military training facility. So, he and John set off to infiltrate the academy while Sarah and Cameron go off to protect the other Martin Bedell - a child who's home alone with a T-888 pulling up outside his house.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Mousetrap, episode review

Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Mousetrap

I’ve not written much about Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles this series, but The Mousetrap was an interesting episode.

First, I loved the hat tip to Arnold Schwarznegger – the actor whose identity Cromartie stole appearing in a Conan The Barbarian type movie. It was a cheesy bit of humour that I simply didn’t expect to see in this particular show.

Anyway, Charlie (Sarah’s old flame) and his wife are leaving town after being warned by Agent Ellison that they’re not safe. However, while pulled in at a roadside garage, Cromartie kidnaps Charlie’s missus. Distraught, Charlie calls John for help, and gets precious little sympathy from Sarah. She relents though, and heads off with Derek in search of Charlie.
