Of Stark's star scanning thing here.

But apprently it ended up just being the lights on the Turk. It <i>could</i> still be a date, though.

And this article kind of excites me:

I wish they would just renew the show, though. How awesome would that be? "

"Mmmkay, even if does defy the laws of physics, I didn't mean it pointed to any of the two dates in the episode, I kind of thought that they might end up making the three dots indicate the position of the stars on Judgment Day or some other important date, maybe the defeat of Skynet now that J-Day's been pushed forward, or something like that."

"No, that's not what I meant.

What I meant was I thought the three dots corresponded to a future date that could be inferred when looking at the three stars, you know?

The stars move, and they may eventually move into the same locations as the three dots and that may be an important day. See, if you look at the stars in 1920, they're slightly askew when compared to the three dots. They may eventually move to line up exactly with the three dots. "

"I remember looking at the stars a few nights ago and several reflected the three dots.

Also, slightly off topic, I have composed my own remix of the Terminator theme, and it is here:

Feedback? It's the very last song on the list and I kind of tried to blend the evil Terminator music from T2 and the theme in a somber electronic tune. It's not meant to be danced to or any crap like that, it's meant to be more like a theme song or something, for a darker Terminator show or movie or story or whatever."

"Actually the author of that comment is wrong. He (or she) mixes two type of star movements: the one caused by Earth's rotation and the proper motion of stars. When I saw that scene I understood it as terminators have a catalog containing positions and proper motion of stars in their database. What we saw was 3 bright stars with high proper motions those positions were calculated for different time points. Comparing calculated positions with real ones Stark was able to identify the date.

And no, three dots on the wall can not indicate specific position of stars simply because nobody can position their finger with accuracy required for that."

"Well, the Resistance fighter, Wells, who put the three dots on the bloody wall may have been referring to Turk 2/John Henry, at least is seems that way from the last scenes of Born to Run. We don't know for sure.

Also, perhaps unintentionally, the three dots caused Sarah to go to the UFO convention, which eventually led her to Desert Canyon Heat and Air and Winston. This got Sarah to investigate Western Iron and Metal where Winston zapped and drugged her and installed the tracking bug in her breast.

The tracking bug brought the water guy human assassins down on the Connor team, and John found Savannah's picture on the cell phone of one of these assassins. Following up on the Savannah's picture put the Connors in position to save her from the Water Guy terminator. And in turn this brought them to Zeira and John Henry and Weaver.

Without the three dots on the wall, Sarah would probably not have gone to the UFO convention and the other stuff might not have happened either."
