Factual errors: When Sarah pulls the gun after approaching Dr. Burnett in the parking lot you can hear the sound of the gun's hammer being cocked. Glock's do not have external hammers that can be cocked.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Kyle Reese: John Connor gave me a picture of you once. I didn't know why at the time. You were young, like you are now. I always wondered what you were thinking in that moment. You seemed a little sad, like you were remembering something long gone. I came across time for you, Sarah. I love you. I always have.

References Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

T2 error

I like that this show is back on the air. It needs more action with the machines that it has but that's OK.

I watched the first show on the new Friday night time slot and it was decent. I did however notice that when Sarah is getting fixed up by the doctor about halfway through the episode that the doctor pulls Sarah's shirt back on her shoulder and asks about the scar, which Sarah replies that a machine stabbed her to try and find John. They used the wrong shoulder. It's a reference to T2 with the T-1000 unit stabbing her at the end in the refinery or whatever it is. He stabs her in the right shoulder not the left, as shown in the TV episode. If you're going to make a show with continuity in regards to the movies at least be correct about it :)
