(S02E12) One of the major differences between this television series and the movie upon which its based is that time travel in this series is more complicated than anybody in the movie universe could have imagined. That is probably one of the reasons why the show has adopted such an unusual method of telling a story as of recent.

Mind you, time jumps and parallel storytelling is not a new method. I think Pulp Fiction started the craze and the show Lost has pretty much been built on such a concept. However, in this instance the three separate stories involving past, present and future (or perhaps more accurately cause and effect) tied into one instance. There is even a parallel to John Connor himself (who played a virtually non-existent role this episode) when the baby Sydney born at the end (although fully grown in the future-flashes) became the savior of humanity. If John Connor is supposed to be a modern take on Jesus Christ, who would Sydney be? I liked how they ended the show with Sydney's birth, an experience your average story tends to associate with hope.

I got a laugh when the Fields named the dog Charles Barkley. Get it? "Bark"ley? This show does a lot of play on words.

Kendall Cho works for the California Bureau of Investigation on the TV series 'The Mentalist'. But as with all characters in Toobworld, Cho has a life outside that which is seen on your TV screen during that show.

And apparently, he's buddies with a real doofus who just doesn't understand that you can do so much better with AT&T for all of his phone, TV, and internet needs........
Based on the latest commercial, in which his dopey friend nearly fries them both with a weird electrical apparatus, Cho won't be making it to retirement age if he keeps hanging out with the guy! BCnU!
