Sarah tries to help a family on Skynet's kill list.
Major General Perry (seen in Derek's memories of the future
war only)
Didja Notice?
The old transit bus Derek walks past at 0:09 on the Blu-ray
is a 1992 TMC RTS.
In the "six months earlier" scenes, Lauren is wearing a
t-shirt that says "Get a Grip".
Above the Fields' fireplace
mantel is an oar imprinted with "First Place River Run
2003"; a framed photo beneath it shows that it was
apparently won by David.
As Sarah and Cameron introduce themselves to the Fields',
Sarah is holding her
Glock 17
and Cameron a
Remington 870 shotgun.
The Fields' dog is named Charles Barkley.
Charles Barkley is a former American professional basketball
player and now an analyst on the TNT post-game show
Inside the NBA. That's pretty good for a dog.
The family van driven by Sarah at 4:11 on the Blu-ray is a
2001
Chevrolet Venture. It must the Fields family vehicle as
it has not been seen previously. The license plate is
California 2SAQ321, which appeared previously on another
vehicle in
"Gnothi Seauton" (and will
be seen again in "Desert Cantos") and has
been seen in a number of TV shows and movies.
Lauren remarks that Sarah is well beyond help by Dr. Phil.
Dr. Phil (Dr. Phil McGraw) is a psychologist and television
personality with his own daytime talk show,
Dr. Phil.
He is not a dog.
The pick-up truck driven by the Terminator that rams the
Chevy Venture is a 1994
Ford
F-150.
Lauren wears a St. Jude's medal that had been her
grandmother's.
St. Jude was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. In
Roman Catholicism, he is considered the patron saint of lost
causes. Also not a dog.
Lauren tells Derek that her father "emptied the Mossberg"
into the Terminator that was chasing them.
Mossberg
is an American firearms manufacturer, specializing in
shotguns.
Major General Perry, seen in this episode, also appeared in
Timeline TT-1 in Dawn of
Fate (where his first name is stated to be Justin)
and is mentioned in Timeline G-1 in
Genisys.
After David is found to have a broken leg after the run-in
with the Terminator, Sarah breaks his
"First Place River Run 2003" oar in half over her knee to
make a splint. It seems unlikely she would be able to break
an oar in half that way! Possibly, the award was not a real
oar and was made of cheap, fragile wood.
At 11:54 on the Blu-ray, a large mug is seen on the
workbench shelf of the Fields' garage with the phrase
"World's Greatest Dad" on it. A box of
Champion spark plugs is seen at 12:03. The two camp
lanterns seen on the workbench appear to be
Coleman
brand.
Lauren informs Sarah that her father is not a banker as he
claims, but works for Syndyne Cybernetics. This is a
fictitious company.
Eagle Rock Bunker is a resistance outpost seen in the
future. It is also seen in Timeline S-1 in
Faith.
Eagle Rock is a relatively affluent neighborhood of Los
Angles.
In Derek's memory of the future war reconnaissance of the
Eagle Rock Bunker, he carries a Westinghouse M95A1 Phased
Plasma Rifle. Jesse also carries one in this scene.
In Derek's memory of the future war, Jesse tells him that
she and the crew of the nuclear Seawolf sub
Jimmy Carter have been making troop and supply runs
from Perth for months. The
Jimmy Carter is an actual U.S. Navy submarine
of that class, launched in 2004 and named for the 39th
President of the United States.
Perth is
a city on the west coast of Australia.
At about 26:25-26:42 on the Blu-ray, notice that the rhythm
of Derek's and the bunker's survivors pounding on the
door is similar to the familiar staccato beat of the
Terminator theme! Listen:
door pounding
Anne refers to her husband David as a hophead. This is a
slang term for "drug addict". Possibly, he is taking
pain-killers for the bulging L4 disc in his spine that he
mentioned earlier.
In his memories of the future, Derek remarks to Sydney and
Jesse that Terminators switch to infrared at nightfall. In
Timeline S-1, in Salvation,
Kyle also remarks on the Terminators having
infrared capability (though in The
Terminator,
his older self told Sarah the opposite, that humans mostly
come out at night to avoid being spotted).
At 32:51 on the Blu-ray, a small
satellite dish stored on a shelf in the background is seen
to be a
DirecTV dish.
Jesse tells Derek that rabbits
were introduced to Australia in the 1800s and the country's been
overrun with them ever since. Actually, the invasive species
was introduced there in the 1700s. The rest of the story she
tells about them is accurate.
Jesse refers to her country as Oz at one point in her rabbit
discussion. Oz is a popular nickname for Australia.
Cameron kills Roger, apparently not realizing he was human.
But wouldn't her robotic senses tell her he's human?
At 35:44 on the Blu-ray, Cameron, David, and Lauren show up
in Sarah's Jeep
Liberty, seen in a couple of previous episodes.
As the T-888 chases the Jeep down the road, a red light can
be seen emitting from it's throat. The Terminator is
somewhat damaged, with skin torn, exposing the metal
endoskeleton underneath. But what is the red light?

Near the end of the episode, at the Serrano Point resistance
base, we see that the same type of hazard suits are in use
there as were seen at "present day" Serrano Point in
"Automatic For the
People".
In Derek's memories of the future, Jesse, fighting a losing
battle against the disease alongside him, says, "You know
what Oscar Wilde's last words were? 'Either the
wallpaper goes, or I do'".
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish writer of fiction,
plays, and poetry. From what I can find, his actual
"wallpaper" quote (and they were not his last words) was,
"My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death.
One of us has got to go."
Unanswered Questions
What happened to the T-888 that was pursuing the Fields'?
Derek's phone call with Sarah at the end of the episode
suggests that they took care of it somehow, but the
resolution is not shown. Last we see, the T-888 is losing
ground in its pursuit of the Jeep.
