John Henry, where's your trousers?

[roxybisquaint]

You guys already know that I don't think John Henry time-jumped. I think he used Cameron's chip (or repaired and used the water cooler terminator's chip) and left Zeira Corp to go find his AI brother in present day. This post isn't really about that theory, though. This time, I'm just analyzing the situation.

"You can't bring anything through when you come—not weapons, not clothing, nothing."

If John Henry did jump, where is his clothing? It should've been in a pile on the floor, but it wasn't. Clothing doesn't go through, so it either gets disintegrated by the time bubble or left behind by the time bubble. Since Cameron's clothed body was sitting there in the chair (and the chair and table were there), we can rule out disintegration. She was clearly within the sphere of the time bubble when Weaver and John left, so she would have been within the sphere when John Henry left too. Yet Cameron's body was clothed and intact and John Henry's clothes were not there.

Was that a hint that he didn't actually jump ahead or was it just a gaff?

Gaffs? TSCC? Surely you jest.

*giggles* I have been known to employ sarcasm when the situation has warranted it.

A lot of people explained that away as there having been explosives planted at the vault to destroy the evidence once the TDE was used.

Naw, they just gaffed. I like the "not really" nuclear explanation, but that's a pretty specific and remarkably contained not really nuclear explosion that doesn't then warrant any mention at any future point. Consequently, I think we're just left to choose our own fave fan wank and get on with it.

I hate hate hate Cromartie's headless endo emerging from the rubble, killing people and going on a quest to find its head.

I'm such a bad fan. I never even realised that Cromartie's body had remained intact despite the explosion. Oh Sarah, you did leave a few endo parts lying around didn't you? And yes, the police absolutely would have combed that bank for remains and found the damn thing (and then also realised Sarah and co weren't actually dead but let's not be adding gaff to gaff to gaff to...)

I'd never actually considered how stupid it was to have a brainless endo reconstituting itself... and now I have, it's very silly. But I kinda liked the way that storyline ran (with the plastic surgery and the blood) so I think I'll give it a pass. It's easier that way *sticks fingers in ears* la la lalalala...I can't hear your logic now... ;-)

Head + Endo + WiFi

This was an tremendous opening for team Connor to exploit when dealing with metal. If CroMo's head could communicate with it's chassis, it had to be by radio link, right? And Vic's chip was trying to reach the internet via John's cell phone (either WiFi or Bluetooth would work).

There should have been an episode where John Connor hacked that channel.

Of course, CroMo's body should have been running into things, or tapping a white cane or something: no vision in the chassis. Comic relief?
