Lena Heady as Sarah Connor

John is fed up being chased and tries to escape and be a kid for a day, taking Riley with him to Mexico. Bad idea, since he used to live there with his mom and his face is still known. Cromartie tracks down Sarah, Derek, Cameron and agent Ellison come to the rescue.

So, you’re sixteen years old, you’ve taken your girlfriend to Mexico, got her the honeymoon suite no less and just when you’re about to get it on Bam! a deathwrecking homicidal robot shows up. I hate it when that happens.

Cromartie finally bites the dust in a John Woo-esk shoot out in a church: bit much, but fun.

I also like agent Ellison. He’s lost everything, but he’s still willing to put his life on the line to save someone else’s future. I was kinda hoping Riley would be collateral damage, an accidental bullit to the head, maybe? But no such luck. I didn’t think the different points of view worked, because they didn’t see it through to the end. Now it was just a gimmick, it didn’t really add any layers or tension to the story. Maybe Sarah can lighten up on the guy now? Does she have to be quite that gloomy all the time? Will that change now Cromartie is gone? Will she have to go out and find a job, join a gym, bake? Guess not, there’ll be another, bad-asser, killing machine sent down from the future any day now.

I thought Sarah’s meltdown was one of the most convincing things I’ve seen on SCC, sometimes I forget Lena Heady is a good actress. Sooooo, Cameron and John? What would it be like to have sex with a robot? Is it even possible? Does she have the ‘stuff’? I think John’s dying to find out….
