Woo, good stuff, another really enjoyable episode.

Curious if others saw this the same way: John looked at Riley's hands and could see that she'd been in a fistfight, which never could have happened with Cameron (she never would have landed a blow). Therefor, despite Cameron's freakiness of late, he must conclude that it's unlikely that Cameron was her murderer. Is that what you got from it?

Yes, that was a very good episode - good show from the whole cast: John Henry is simply fantastic, I wonder what part he will play in the end.
When it comes to Riley - I guess that John will return with Cameron - perhaps she will be able to examine the remains under Riley´s nails, or check for other evidence?
I´ve got a bad feeling for Jesse; she´s really torn up over this (or so it seems) and when John learns that she´s behind all this..well it´s going to be pretty tense! Can´t wait for next ep!
I must admit that T:TSCC is much,much better than I thought it should be.
I hope the show will be renewed.

Same here. I'm not really that much of a Terminator fan in general, and have never bothered to see the 3rd film, nor am I much interested in the 4th. However, this show is really fantastic. It not only has tight plotting, great writing, and solid acting, but more importantly they've managed to flesh out a whole very interesting sci-fi universe that I'm really enjoying seeing them explore.

Really good stuff.

Sort of, but from the opposite direction. If Riley's hands are covered with blood, the opponent should have corresponding wounds - even Cameron would have them for a short while.

The reason that whats-her-name picked a fight in the bar was so that she'd have a good excuse to have wounds on her face.

I can see it that way as well.

Right, which was a very enjoyable light bulb moment when I realized what she was doing.

Great episode.

That whole submarine thing in the future looks really intriguing.

(And yes, I got the same impression from John looking at Riley's hands that others did here.)
