Oh, and I just remembered I owe you guys an explanation about the Jeffrey Pierce terminator (the one that bit the dust last night). There was a lot of back and forth about whether Kaliba could send Terminators or not and at one point, we'd decided they couldn't. Then, in an attempt to cast a big name in the show, for publicity and marketing purposes, we had to insert a Terminator into the show, but we had to find an organic way of doing it. The Jeffrey Pierce terminator was supposed to be that character, but the person we were negotiating with for the role ultimately pulled out at the last minute. Luckily, Jeffrey was available (a tremendous actor in his own right and one of our early choices for Charley) and he stepped into the role. And obviously, having a Terminator in those last two episodes worked out really well for story purposes and for the sake of amping the stakes and the action, but I couldn't remember (because of the back-and-forth) what justifcation we came up with for how Kaliba was sending really advanced Terminators.

Now I'm really curious as to who this big name who backed out at the 11th hour was.
