Factual errors: The movements of the stars in the HUD of both Cameron and the Stark terminator defy the laws of physics. Since the stars movements in the night sky are relative to the rotation of the Earth, their paths would be closer too curved parallel lines, not an intersecting triangular pattern as shown. more

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
This episode is about as stand alone an episode as they've produced so far. One of the best of the series yet, as well. The Citizen Kane style it was created with really added to the overall effect.
Billy Lush as Eric made a very strong and compelling case for becoming a returning character as a means for Cameron to discover her humanity. A stellar performance.
Also, the plot device of the Terminators missing their intended marks while time traveling has some very interesting aspects that could be explored in future episodes.
All in all, one of the best story lines of the series thus-far.
