Trivia

Actor Phil Morris contributed an uncredited portrayal of the character Miles Dyson in a photograph in the pilot episode. A scene with the character was written and possibly even shot for this episode, but eventually left out for unknown reasons. Due to contractual reasons, Phil Morris still receives main guest credit, without appearing in the episode.

Goofs

When Cromartie forces the scientist to make the synthetic skin, we get a shot of the scientist in the bathroom with the robot who has an over coat on. In the next shot, we see the scientist becoming amazed at the sight of the robot without the coat. If you compare the gigantic size of the robot that they show next, with the figure that was in the overcoat, there is an obvious difference in size. The real Cromartie could never fit in that small of an overcoat.

Quotes

Sarah Connor: [referring to some building plans] Ok, six ways in, six ways out. The street opens to the front here. Security's minimal. Two armed guards in the morning, four in the afternoon. And if anything goes wrong, there's a parking lot here.
John Connor: Mom, it's high school, okay? Not Supermax. We can handle it.

User Reviews

and the SkyNet Creator is...

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
