Reese was the last name of the John Connor's father, who came from the future, and considers future John Connor his closest friend.

Yea I know but John and Sarah were using it for their last name because they were on the run from the law.

btw, in the 1st ep the terminator teacher ask for Reese and start shooting to John. But clearly in the 1st movie (yea, that one when the actual governor wasnt that popular) the machines didnt know the name of the father, just Sarah and her son.
huh? Reese was an alias that they were using to hide.

Doli is correct. It is the alias they were using for their last name. They are on the run from the law, and any Terminators that may come after them. They cannot go around calling themselves John and Sarah Conner. Each time they move, they pick up a new identity, which was basically key to the plot of the 2nd episode.

whats the point of the series then?

What's the point of Smallville? It doesn't always follow the same continuity either, but it's still A GREAT show nonetheless.

The only thing that bothers me about the show is Acting & action(Where on Smallville it's Awesome), if that gets better, I can LOVE this show!

My point was that Reese wasn't simply an alias, it was the last name of John's father, which gives it a greater connection than just another name. That is just one of many continuity errors, but meh. I got the impression that they still used the name Reese before they left again to the small town where they were eventually attacked.

You don't make any sense.. why would recycling Reeses name be a continuity error? I doubt the terminator tracked them down by the last name, after all FBI seemed to be fairly close too.

Using the name Reese wasn't the error, the Terminator knowing Kyle Reese (who's been dead since 1984) was the father was the error that ThePitt pointed out.

The Terminator that was shooting at John didnt know that Kyle Reese was the father. Maybe the terminator found them because they didnt get new IDs after Sarah left her boyfriend. He gave the FBI her name as Sarah Reese which goes into the system as another alias that they are using and thats how both Terminators found John. The Terminator that is helping John and Sarah said it took her over 70 days to find them and ask why she didnt get new fake IDs.

edit: from WikiPedia

Charley gives Agent Ellison Sarah's new alias, Sarah Reese, which is entered into her database file. A new terminator, who has been monitoring the FBI's database, is now informed of her new name, and begins his search.

Pilot episode can be downloaded for free from Amazon Unbox Video download. (I wonder if its on Joost?)

By the far the most ridiculous thing in this TV show so far was the headless terminator riding a motorcycle to pick it's head up. Does it have extended wi-fi and imaging sensors in it's body too? That model must cost more than PS3... coincidently the source of skynet in later episodes. :D

At the very least, I enjoy this show more than T3: Rise of the Machines.

Wasn't terrible. But a lot of the crap could be done without.

"I got you a tight present"

No one gives a crap. Go kill stuff.

That's easy for you to say because that's what you think. Remember, not everyone will dislike the things you dislike. That includes all 18 million people who watched the first episode, and the 10.07 million who watched the second episode. :p

I just watched this weeks, it wasn't bad just wasn't good the more I see Summer Glau tho the more I like her :p

I feel exactly the same way.

The show isn't BAD, its just an average show.

Maybe now that the terminator is back in business with a new skin, we'll get some more action.

I set my DVR to record last night's episodes and it seemed entirely too short, I was having to fast forward every 5-7 minutes through 4-5 minutes of commercials... seemed it was only about 35 minutes of actual TV show in the 1hr time slot... if I had watched it live I'd probably have switched channels and forgotten about it.

It's almost 43 minutes on the dot, including the intro

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By sagum · Posted

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
