	Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot Sarah Connor: [narrates] It is said that the death of any one person is the death of an entire world. Certainly for parents, the death of a child is no less than a holocaust. In the case of my son, these words are literally true.
	Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot Sarah Connor: Where are we? Cameron Phillips: Same where, different when.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: As Sarah watches the Terminator approaching in the opening sequence, the same truck passes behind him twice.
FACT: SPOILER: The time jump is indicated on the machine as T+78892.31165. Assuming this value is in hours, the jump would be about eight hours less than exactly nine years. Unfortunately the actual jump is almost exactly eight years (from 1999 to 2007). (It may be argued that the number is given in a different unit, but this is highly unlikely. The unit would then be about 3200 seconds long.)
CONT: In the opening sequence when Sarah and John get arrested, Sarah is shown being forced into the police car from the passenger side. It then cuts to clip of the policeman pushing Sarah's head down into the car from the driver's side. Finally, it cuts to shot from inside the car showing Sarah entering from the passenger side.
CHAR: When Cromartie walks up to the bank he determines that the S.W.A.T. team is no threat as they lower their weapons at the sight of him. From his appearance it would be understandable that they would be taken aback, since none of them know what they are really looking at. This doesn't explain why a moment later they don't act to stop him when Cromartie smashes through the doors into the bank, as this is what they are trained to do.
CONT: In Terminator 2, John Connor is 10 years old, as we can see when the T-1000 looks up at the police car's computer. So the events in T-2 took place in 1995. As mentioned by John in this episode, 'that' happened 2 years ago, so this episode should be placed in 1997 instead of 1999.

TRIVIA

Cameron tells Sarah that she is from the year 2027 and that Skynet goes online in 2011.
Sarah Connor was born in Los Angeles, CA. She is 33 years old, 5'4" tall and weighs 110 pounds.
The Terminator "Cromartie" is an anime/manga reference to Cromatie High school. One of the students is a robot.
During the initial fight in the house between Cameron and the rival Terminator, the shot gun Sarah pulls out of the wall is the same model the character used against the T-1000 in the final scenes of Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).
Sarah and John use the alias of Reese. Kyle Reese was Sarah's first protector in the original Terminator movie and is John's father.
