Best Quotes


  • The episode soared as intense dialogues built upon each other:

  • Cameron to pigeon that is trapped at the window "What am I supposed to do with you?" She eventaully crushed it in her hand when she became frustrated with it.

  • Jesse to Derek about Judgement Day with the destruction of the U.S. by nuclear weapons "Don't fret about it luv, we'll know it when it happens."

  • Sarah to John "Talk to me about Riley."

  • John to Cameron "You're supposed to burn the endo's."

  • Cameron to John "I have damage to my hand and now you're able to fix it"
    and "You're ahead of schedule of what you need to learn."

  • Jesse to Riley "Master your fear. Remember your mission."

  • John to Sarah "I haven't told her anything."

  • Sarah to John "I don't believe you."
    and "I want you to prepare yourself for what's going to happen when Cameron finds out."

  • Cameron to Riley "They don't always like the way I do things"
    and then "What am I going to do with you?"

  • Cameron to Riley "Are you a complainer?"

  • John to Cameron "What's happening with you?"

  • Cameron "I don't know."

  • John to Riley "Riley, ss there anything you want to tell me?...Today is the day..."

  • Riley to John "No, is there anything you want to tell me, John...Today is the day?"

  • Riley to Jesse "I know, Jesse! I know! She's supposed to kill me right? How could you do that to me?"

  • in memorial:
    Sarah "I've only known her a short while. I've grown fond of her."

Episode Trivia
  • Before Riley is killed by Jesse, both John and Riley recite to each other the title of the next episode "Today is the Day".

  • The kill switch "locket" had 3 dots/buttons.

  • Cameron used the same exact phrase "What am I going to do with you?" to the bird she crushed and to Riley whom she did not kill. Instead John rescued her.
  • The Executive Producers credits overlays were on John looking at Cameron as she was getting something from a box. We got instant gratification when the rumors about Cameron keeping spare parts were verified. At the end of the episode we see Cameron also made a kill switch and gave it to John. It has 3 buttons inside. One will terminate Cameron.

As im sure nearly all of you know by now cameron's chip will once again screw up in episode 17 "OurSelves Alone". This brings up once again The Dekker Tapes in which it refers to 3 of the main characters following a particular path up to the last episode. Now me personally believes that Cameron is the leaver due to the fact that FOX would not want to get rid of one the shows prized characters as Summer Glau is one of the main reasons people tune in every week so she can kick ass,say funny one liners, and be a stand out figure in SCI-Fi. However due to official release of "Ourselves Alone" it has put doubt over which character will die, will leave, and will ultimately betray john.

Iranatest Who Approved the Technology Bill? 7 Mar 10 2009, 12:45 AM EDT by Iranatest

The headline and story above the burned down heating and air warehouse was about the approval of a technology bill. The first word was covered up. Was it just "Gov't" or "Cal"? If it was "Cal" the California governor could become a key player.
