geebsEven more TV commentary:
On Chuck, we finally meet Jill, played by hottie Jordana Brewster (though I think she looks better with the dork glasses than sans them). Actually, its Jill Roberts. Any relation to Summer? I mean, Chuck is a Schwartz show, just like The OC, with the eponymous character being very much Seth-ish. And the big love of his life happens to share the same last name as Summer? Or was that an intentional reference then? And how can Chuck claim to be a dork? Between Jill, Lou (played by Rachel Bilson, who was of course Summer), and Sarah, he's had three hot gfs since college!
Oh, and we get to see Sarah speak in Yvonne Starh-I'm not gonna even bother trying to spell it-sky's native Aussie accent. spcv('Nice!') But not enough! And I continue to be confused by the state of Chuck and Sarah. Sometimes they act like they both know they like each other, but it can never work because of their situation. Other times they act like Chuck thinks Sarah is totally not interested. But how deliciously cruel, after looking like a fool for the first 40 minutes, Chuck gets to show off his spy self to Jill and look like a hero, so they're back on, and Sarah has to watch all this through gritted teeth. She is too jealous!
Though I think the funniest part of the ep is when Chuck kisses Casey, and then tries to explain to Jill the whole saliva thing, and she's like, "that's the stupidest thing I ever heard!" HA!!
Anyways, Jill's about 5'7", with brown hair and eyes, while Sarah is about 5'9" with blond hair and blue-green eyes. Similar heights, different hair, Chuck should try to get the threesome. That's all I'm saying!

On T:SCC, I found Cameron slutting it up to try and convince John to stop seeing Riley was hilariously awesome. Of course, if she really wanted to put him on edge, she should've been more forward, instead of just prancing around in short shorts and a flimsy tank. I mean, didn't it totally sound like she was saying, if he was feeling lonely, he didn't have to find a new girl, she could be there for him? Hey, she's got a tight body on her. And since she's a robot programmed to obey him, he can prolly get her to do some kinky stuff.
Anyways, they were trying to be clever by jumping back and forth between the various perspectives, and I don't think the timeline lines up right. So, John sneaks out the night before, so he's well on his way to Mexico by the time Chrome Artie gets to the house. (and how much time passed between this ep and last, shouldn't he have headed over as soon as he got the info from the bowling alley survivor?!) So he captures her that morning, but John gets arrested that night. So was he just holding Sarah the whole day? I find that hard to believe.
And I assume he did some sort of trace when John called or else got the info when the Federales uploaded his pic/info? Well, prolly the latter, I don't think he's able to trace calls. And that would explain how Ellison got their first. But Cameron and Derek don't line up either. So, Cameron left to resupply. I assume the supply house isn't that far, but apparently she's gone long enough that she leaves Sarah in the late morning/noon (I assume that was the time, since they thought John was still sleeping, but it was early enough that it wasn't too weird for him to be sleeping in) but doesn't get to the safehouse until night, since when she gets there, that's when Derek gets the call from John at the police station.
And what's with the ease they killed Chrome Artie? Did skynet start making the Terminators weaker or something, because they haven't been nearly as unstoppable as in the films. I mean, they dispatched power plant guy clone, replacement secretary, and fake Ellison pretty quickly. And even though Chrome Artie was a problem the first time they faced him, this time it was easy as pie?
Like what the hell was Cam using in that shotgun? When they took on that Terminator at the military academy, I was pretty sure Derek said he was using a Barrett rifle loaded with Raufoss armor piercing incendiary rounds. Didn't Derek tag the guy in the head with little damage? They had to get him stuck in the tar and shoot him a few more times to finally get him. Mebbe Cameron was using Frag-12 rounds, which can penetrate 1/2 inch steel plate, but I wanna say Raufoss rounds are more powerful. Yeah, 12 gauge is about 18.75mm, 6mm bigger than the .50 (or 12.7mm). But the .50 cal should have more KE behind it, and I think there's more explosive packed in. So, I'm skeptical! Cam apparently had magic rounds then!
And even if Chrome Artie's head was half blown off, John's shot to the face shouldn't have done anything unless he shot the chip, but it seemed to be intact!
