That would have made perfect sense, though, yeah, how was he going to get it back by just walking away from Ellison? However, I never knew if Cromartie actually recognized Ellison. Yeah, Cromartie went to his office to get Sarah's file, but Ellison wasn't there, so did Cromartie even know what he looked like? I'm not one who likes being spoon-fed, but in this case, I think they could have gotten across the point you brought up fairly easily. Show a point-of-view shot from Cromartie, who does a scan of Ellison, have the name "Ellison" pop up and an outline of the arm. That's when Cromartie then puts his gun down and walks away. Bingo. Ellison is still confused, but we know why Cromartie let him live, and it's about an extra 5 to 10 seconds of airtime.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14783147427209732831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707219117868150166.post-53603025195035697972008-03-31T23:28:00.000-07:002008-03-31T23:28:00.000-07:00I got a little behind on the "Sarah Connors Chroni...I got a little behind on the "Sarah Connors Chronicles" episodes and just saw the final hour tonight. <BR/><BR/>I basically agree with the comments you made about the show (I was particularly having a hard time keeping all the bad-guys straight in this one), but I think I do know why Cromartie didn't kill Ellison. You may have forgotten the "near miss" at the FBI headquarters where Cromartie was looking for a piece of evidence and learned that Ellison had it. I would imagine that the piece of evidence was the robot arm that Ellison had found and checked out several episodes back. My assumption was that Cromartie let Ellison live out of fear that he would be unable to locate the arm otherwise. Of course, that does beg the question of why he didn't try to force Ellison to take him to it.<BR/><BR/>The show did hold my interest through these 9 episodes and I would like to see it come back next Fall. I just hope that they tighten up the writing some and start being a bit more careful about loose ends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707219117868150166.post-35702933016519870172008-03-16T23:50:00.000-07:002008-03-16T23:50:00.000-07:00It was the head of the dead guy stuffed in a gym b...It was the head of the dead guy stuffed in a gym bag, but the bag was open so you could see the severed head pretty clearly.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10050739513675560860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707219117868150166.post-82631287932603029452008-03-16T23:44:00.000-07:002008-03-16T23:44:00.000-07:00The husband had made the same comment about the wa...The husband had made the same comment about the wall that Derek didn't remember being there.<BR/><BR/>Hmmm, interesting about the trunk of the car that Cameron was closing. Care to elaborate on what you saw? I'm figuring they would have only gotten away with that because you couldn't really see it without frame-by-frame advance.<BR/><BR/>A mutual friend saw Summer Glau aka Cameron at a con this past weekend, and I saw a couple of the pictures he took of her. So pretty, and yet so deadly. :)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14783147427209732831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3707219117868150166.post-74139196843553429742008-03-16T11:45:00.000-07:002008-03-16T11:45:00.000-07:00Interesting notes from the finale episode of Termi...Interesting notes from the finale episode of Terminator:<BR/>In the tunnels under City Hall, Derek observed that he didn't remember the wall between the tunnel and the elevator shaft, and then they blew it up. Does that mean that later, when 2011-Derek retreats to the tunnels, that the blown-up wall is what 2008-Derek remembers? <BR/>Regarding Derek not killing the guard: I think whatever happened in the Skynet torture room will turn out to be very important. It led to Derek killing Andy and seems to have had the effect you mention.<BR/>I love that the show producers used a modem dialing sound when Vic's chip was trying to take over John's phone.<BR/>Watching hour 2 on the HD DVR, we caught a flash of something when Cameron closed the trunk of the killer's car and backed up to frame-advance through that shot. It was unusually gruesome.<BR/>Why did Cameron hand the ID-making girlfriend her gun?<BR/>I also can't figure out why Cromartie didn't kill Ellison, unless something in Cromartie's programming recognized Ellison as someone who would later advance the goals of Skynet if allowed to live.<BR/>The two side stories at school are also confusing to me and I was frustrated at how the jumper girl's story was seemingly abandoned. It wasn't enough of a main plotline to make any sense if the producers go back to it next season.<BR/>I hope it's renewed.<BR/>And I look forward to your weekly recaps!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10050739513675560860noreply@blogger.com
