Trivia

Andy refers to the original Turk, created in 1770, as an automaton, which the device was purported to be. However, since the mid-nineteenth century, the Turk has been known to be merely a magic illusion, with a human being sitting within the machine playing chess, rather than the machine itself.

Goofs

While it is true that Morris Berg was sent by the OSS to determine if Heisenberg was close to making the atomic bomb, the event occurred in 1944, not 1943 like Sarah said. See more »

and the SkyNet Creator is...
1 January 2011 | by (The One Way Demon Ride To Hell) – See all my reviews

This episode pretty much points a finger at who recreates SkyNet, Andrew Goode (maybe as some sort of a tribute to Miles Dyson finishing what Miles started) The plot is Sarah visits Myles Dyson's widow, and Sarah ends up meeting Andy Goode along the way who ends up being an inventor of a chess playing computer named "The Turk." Meanwhile, John and Cameron try their best to fit in on their first day at the new high school, with John trying to catch up on the eight years of history lost and Cameron trying to mimic the human emotions of her fellow students. Elsewhere, Agent Ellison tries to piece together the mysterious mass killing of four unidentified men, while Cromartie the Terminator tracks down a scientist to assist him in his regeneration. pretty much that my overall opinion on this is it's not a bad episode (I've only found 2 bad episodes and they were in Season 2) but it's not one of the best
