A ? You've got to be effing kidding me. This was by far the best episode of the season so far. By a very very wide margin. But seriously, this is as good as it gets? I don't think so. It was great to have a break from Shirley Manson's horrible acting and it was great to actually see a couple of action scenes for a change. They even cut the stupid opening from this one. It feels like they're actually trying. But A ? I do like the same story from different perspectives approach but this works best when there are sufficient details that are missing from one story which will be filled in by the others. The writers of this show just don't have the chops to pull that off. The Simpsons did a pretty great job with one of these several years ago but then the writers of the Simpsons are in a whole different league from these jokers. Also, playing some Mexican song during a shootout in a church is a pretty hokey cliche and they couldn't even get a decent sounding song. This episode was a solid B, B . A vast improvement over the C-, D grades this season deserves so far. 

Good Episode. Liked the Mexican stand-off. The only thing I wished was to have seen the Terminator kill the Sheriff/Officers from his (Infrared) display. instead when we saw it when he had Connor Sighted. It would have been just like the precinct scene in the first movie. Other than that, great Episode. I didnt expect her to brake down like that but it goes to show you that you can predict what a persons thinking or feeling. I guess those emotions all bottled up was along time coming. Cant wait for more.

This was a solid episode.  You are right okono, the mexican song during the shootout was hokey and I still don't know how a computer program can miss two people in a window with a sub machine gun but I still enjoyed it. 

The Terminator did tell Ellison that he was going to lead him to the Connors so when he suckered the T into the church Ellison did in fact lead him to the Connors.  I thought that part was clever.   

Your dam right A why the hell not? Great episode. I loved the different point of views of each character and how the story was told. I loved how Derek had that look on his face when Cameron is frantically looking for John. I think deep down inside he's finally realizing the machines can be ok. It's kind that same look he had when Cameron was dancing ballet.

This show is just freakin great. Im so happy we'll have more episodes to come. 

I realize i'm going to catch some flak here but i gotta say it anyway.Is the budget of this show that small, that we can't get more realistic Terminator battle scenes? Don't get me wrong,the church shootout was very well done, but is it me or is it WAAAAAAAYYYYYY too easy to kill terminators on this show?I'm not talking Robert Patrick's T-1000 in Judgement Day, but the beauty of the first movie,which kick started this whole franchise was that Arnold's version in the first film just simply wouldn't die!

 Hardly anything stopped him i the movie whatsoever, and Cromartie gets riddled with bullets, and that's it?Again, i'm not calling for an abandoned steel factory,or liquid nitrogen, but in my opinion,they can do much better than this! Overall,not great,but a very solid episode.Give it a B . On a side note, what was up with Cameron dropping the leather jacket before entering Johns room looking sexy and sitting on the bed  to talk to him?Not saying anything crazy,but did they have a thing for each other in the future?Just saying.........

I agree with SgtTech. This is a great show. This and Life on Mars are my favorite things on tv right now. Some people have their issues and problems with Terminator, but I think they do a great job. I find myself really attached to the character's and love where the series is going. Everyone's got their opinions, like some people like Trueblood I personally can't stand it. To each his own, I guess. I'm also thrilled we got more of this show on the way.

This is still a solid show. 

Remeber these guys are Terminator terminators, they know how to take one out.  Hell all it took was a pipe bomb to half the first Terminator anyway. 

A tv show can't rampage every week anyway.  T1001 might be more of a challenge if they ever use Garbage right. 

I'm with Oko in that I think an A is too high. I just watched last night, and -while it was a VERY good ep- I would give it a B . Using different perspectives was great, but there were some editing issues that stood out to me. It may be nit-picking a bit but I was not watching to critique the show and I still noticed a few things.

In Sarah's story Cromartie kicks John's door down, but in John's story he leaves the door open. In Sarah's story Ellison immediately calls her by name as if he know she was in the trunk all along, but in his own story there was no indication that he know anyone was in the trunk at all, until that akwardly edited cut to the same line.

I aslo had a problem with Cromartie being the "promised death". Stephen may say that Riley dying would have been predictable, but I think Cromartie was even more predictable. Cromartie gives the writers an easy out. I can easily see Ellison, after being brushed off by Sarah and still looking to play a role in the coming events, going to Manson's character and telling her where to find one of those robots. She goes and digs Cromartie up, and after a little repair job he is back in the game. Killing Riley would have added some serious weight to the show and to John's character. He would basically have the death of someone he cared about on his own hands and that would force him to stop being an idiot and start shaping him into the role of protector.

Cam took Cromartie out with armor piercing rounds. It's not hard to understand. Thats why those shotgun shells blew half his face off, and yes they do really make rounds like that for a shotgun, look it up.

They do know how to take these bucket of bolts down now my god in 1984 arnie just got up and walked away. It's now the year 2000 weapons have come a long way. Use your imagination too people!
