Riley

The plot thickens! And thickens, and thickens….

Sooooo, Jesse’s been sent back from the future to kill Cameron?! From a future that’s different than the one Derek’s been sent back from? So, maybe, in Derek’s future, there’s no need to kill Cameron in the past? Hmm. My head’s starting to hurt….

Soooo, Stupid Boring Riley is actually a spy? In cohoots with Annoying Jesse, she of the ridiculous accent? (where the hell is she supposed to be from? Yeah, I know, the Future. Maybe in her future everybody talks that) Riley went up a coupla notches in my estimation! Maybe not as dull as she looks. Though she ruined it by crying and being, well, boring. When Derek pulled his gun on Jesse I really hoped he’d just pull the trigger already. Derek to Jesse: “I love you. But don’t push it.” Though now Cameron can slowly rip her head off, which might be even better…..

Cameron: “Strange Things Happen at the One Two Point. It’s a Go proverb, it means the same rules don’t always apply.”
Sarah: “It’s always the same rules and they always apply.”

Sarah: “They’ll find their money, they’ll get their miracle.”
Cameron “How do you know?”
Sarah: “Because it’s written in blood on my basement wall.” (nice!)

I love scary redhead Weaver’s outfits.

Cromartie. Not that dead?

Whoever thought life would be a breeze for the Connors now that Cromartie is gone has another thing coming!

Jesse seems to be loosing it when she kidnaps and roughs up an old geezer she meets in the mall, claiming he’s been sent from the future. John and Cameron take a trip back to Mexico to make sure Cromartie stays dead. Sarah falls ill and revisits the psychologist to talk about her, rather terrifying, nightmares.

Creepy dreams are kinda easy to put into a series, but somehow Cameron and Sarah in pink housewifey dresses gave me the heebie jeebies. 

I can see what Derek likes about Jesse. “I need you NOW. Bring a gun!” That’d be a turn on for any guy, right? Good to see Richard Schiff. So weird that Derek and Jesse don’t share the same future!!! That’d be so weird. 

Cameron is getting more and more interesting every ep, and she really seems to want to get together with John. Hmmm. Lot’s of interesting stuff going on!

I so hope they don’t cancel this show!!!

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….

Aaah, the sins of our youth
Before Brian Austin Green went all marine and cool and bulky he was David Silver, bless him, and David wanted to be Vanilla Ice…..

I still think he’s hot in Sarah Connor Chronicles but if those menacing robots from the future ever find out about his past they’ll simply wet themselves laughing!

Brian Austin Green

When the new 90210 was first rumored my husband came clean about his past: in his teens, he used to have a Jennie Garth poster in his bedroom. I, like any wife worth her salt, gave him hell. So now, I ‘ll let you in on a tiny secret: I used to fancy Brian Austin Green way, back in the day. Not at first, of course, when he was a geek, nor when he was in his I wanna be Vanilla Ice-phase, but once he started beefing up and wearing those shirts that showed off his shoulders and ditched the moustache …. There, I said it. It could’ve been worse, I actually know an intelligent, grown woman who admitted to having a thing for Ian Ziering!

Back then Brian was dating beautiful bad girl Tiffani Thiessen on and off the screen. If that had worked out they’d have had children with freakishly broad jawlines. Just a thought.

Nowadays Bri’s dropped the ‘Austin’ and is playing a soldier from the future in Terminator: the Sarah Connor chronicles. Not nearly as hot, actually, at first I didn’t even recognize him. Grown up, not so cute, haven’t seen the shoulders yet. He has better lines now though: “Yeah, I have a plan. It involves guns.”

And he might do a walk on on the new 90210 ‘if it’s right’. Not sure whether he’s talking artistically or financially there,but it’d be fun!
