Another great episode. This is my favorite show of the season.

I dunno. While I'm a fan of the series, I really was annoyed by the Rashamon-esqe storytelling style in which this episode was done. Normally one would retell the story from the differening perspectives when there's something important to understand about how each individual POV differs from or even contradicts the others understanding of the same events. The episode could have been told as a traditional narrative without much difference from what we ended up with. In fact, I think it undercut the rage Sarah let out on the chip at the end, which was a culmination of several things in this episode.

Overall, this one felt like the editor was bored and asked for more to do.

What a great episode. Now that's the Terminator I want to see.

Even Riley's existence in this episode was tolerable.

Yep, very nice episode. I like Ellison a lot, I think he´s a great character.
Seems that the story of Cromartie is over (?)
