Sarah Connor: Maybe it's yours. Maybe if you would have let him try to save that girl, or at least let him think he had a choice in the matter, he wouldn't have gone off the reservation.
Cameron Phillips: John does these things.
Sarah Connor: Not the John I know.
Cameron Phillips: The John I know.
Sarah Connor: Do you have any idea what's going on? I lost him! I lost John!
Cameron Phillips: I understand.
Sarah Connor: It's impossible for you to understand.
Cameron Phillips: Without John, your life has no purpose.
Sarah Connor: You know what I love about you guys? Even when you've evolved into the ultimate indestructible killing machine, you're not above self-examination and improvement.

Sarah Connor: Please shut up.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (plot holes): The terminator showed his badge to a guard that let him into Depot 37. It wasn't shown however, how Sarah and Cameron made it inside the facility, or how they got out.
  • Goof (continuity error): Near the end of the episode, after Cameron crashes the cargo truck and is walking towards Sarah and John who are standing by the Hummer, both doors on the Hummer are open. There is some dialog between John and Sarah, after which they turn back towards the Hummer, and Sarah's door is now closed, and she opens it.
  • Goof (continuity error): Smoke can be seen coming from the rear of the truck as it goes over the cliff down to the water. Yet the scene just before as Cameron jumps off doesn't show any smoke, nor does the scene of the truck hitting the water.
  • Goof (revealing mistake): When Lazlo is back home after interrogation by the police he can be seen drinking from a can while placing some food in the microwave. The can, though, isn't open yet (notice the pull-tab). Even when he drops the can (when the terminator grabs him) nothing pours out on the floor.
  • Goof (continuity error): A major plot point in the episode involves Cameron discovering that Cromartie's head went through time, too. She discovers this while viewing news footage taken soon after Sarah, John and Cameron arrived in 2007. However, previous episodes established that Cromartie's head arrived sometime after the trio left the scene, so it should not have been visible on the videotape.

Trivia

  • The red truck being driven off by the thieves is owned by "Tetsuo" corporation. Tetsuo (1989) is a J-horror/cyberpunk/Cult movie by 'Shinya Tsukamoto, about a man who becomes mechanical..
