I loved the detail of Savannah's unstructured LEGO castle versus the really cool geometric AI LEGO castle. I wonder if the later is available as a kit? They even get juxtaposed against each other.

So love Cameron's purple leather jacket.

Temporal staycation. Love it. I'm sure it gets really messy with all the going back and forth.

Also, John's in-between status, especially since he's escaped from time now. Not really a soldier, yet, if ever despite having killed his first human. Adolescents. Gah. Also what year is it, his sweater's neckline looks like someone's idea of the 90's/ but future-grunge.

Shirley Manson's "archival footage" - <chef's kiss>

Actually developing Lena Heady's Sarah Connor's physicality a little.

Show talks about "training" AI, which is so true. I wonder how useful a (human) developmental psychologist approach would be?

Ah, X-888 action on X-888 action! The actor for the adversary did all of the contortions for real.

Interesting question as to who created "suicide" protocols for terminator CPUs.

One of my favourite episodes of television.
