I think if there's a season three Sarah will probably have died from cancer. I think they're moving away from Sarah Connor Chronicles, to John Connor.

Yeah that's what I think will happen and they may even rename the show to Terminator : The future begins or something like that.

I LOVED THE EPISODE! :D Greatest episode in the world! :p

"I liked that gate!" :laugh:

Wow that was a lot to take in and it was legendary. At the end, why was John not the leader? What happened in the past that made him not a leader? Also, so John Henry was put back into the computer and Summer into the body? Or what?

Because he jumped from his time to the future, he hadn't had the chance to become the leader he's meant to be. Technically no one had heard of him yet. I think if anything Summer went into the computer and gave John Henry her chip. They definitely made it out to assist in marketing for the movie. However the movie will be out before season 3, so they will have to try and connect their timeline to the movie. While on the subject, they created good Terminators in this time line, which is what Marcus in the movie seems to be. :)

But how can Summer be in the computer without the chip? They couldn't have transferred her into there that fast! What's John Henry going to do with the chip and in the future?

As much as I love this show I hope it doesn't turn this show into John trying to remake Cameron- We saw Summer Glau for a few seconds at the end I guess that would be Allison. I just hope (as I said earlier) that they don't try and work in Cameron some how in to this if it's supposed to Allison that we saw at the end of the episode (as long as Summer is in the show I'm fine :)).

Yeah that's what I think will happen and they may even rename the show to Terminator : The future begins or something like that.

I think it's the most logical thing to do at this point, but when was this show ever logical? I think that the writers can connect the show, and movie time line. I think that this show might get a little bit more popular with people if they do connect it with the movie.

Earlier Weaver asked John Henry to extract the data off the chip, perhaps he was able to do this. Also him taking her chip would allow him to disconnect himself from the computer and go into the future. Why? I dunno. Maybe he goes under a process to change his visual appearance and becomes Cameron, and she was a man all along, DUN DUN DUNNNNNN :laugh:

Well one thing the movie has always stated was "this isn't the future my mother told me about" so they could potentially take advantage of all the **** this series has done to mess up the timeline and the future. But there isn't going to be a Derek Reese. If they do another, I think it will focus on Allison vs Cameron. It'd let Summer play a more human role which she would no doubt like and probably near the end of the series introduce the Terminator that takes her over.

This is probably what will happen- I think that's why in the episode where Allison is taken and Cameron is introduced.. Cameron talks about how close Allison and John are so close. So I bet this is how the writers will try and introduce Cameron back into the series.

Wtf. Frekin John! He was legendary and now he wants to kill Cameron! :(

You are a genius my friend. That would be an awesome story line, we just got to know what is Weaver is going to do in the Future.

So John Henry and Cameron are sharing the same chip in the Cromartie body, and Alison is still alive... It was a great season finale, but what tangled webs they've weaved if they plan on continuing (which I certainly hope they do) :)

The whole 2 seasons, I was watching it because I love the Terminator idea and franchise. I enjoyed it, but nothing crazy. The last 3 or so episodes though, have been amazing and I have been really into it. That finale was the best yet, and now if there is no next season, i will be ****ed :(

This finale sucked. It was not only boring, it ruined the Terminator timeline at the end.

If you guys haven't read the fake finale yet, read it now. It was far better than this terrible finale.

Here's the only part I liked from it.

I think Cameron told Henry to put her chip in a future model of hers after he jumped to the future. I buy that John is not the hero as he jumped the timeline changing events. I'm shocked that Ms. Weaver turned out to be a "Good Guy".

I was thinking through that whole scene, John tell her you need a few minutes with her pants off.... :woot:

If there is a Season 3, I don't see them ditching the present timeline characters. Ellison, Sarah Connor, Samantha, and chipless Cameron could still have active roles. If Cameron is now in John Henry's mainframe, perhaps they wire her body as interface to it so she can operate normally tethered within the confines of the room.

There is no season 3, guys. Look at what just happened. They can't have a show in the future with their tiny budget and only 3 million viewership. This show is gone and the only reason I'm not glad its gone is because I won't get a Summer Glau fix every week.

Doesn't necessarily have to come back on Fox, wouldn't be the first time a show finds a second life on another network.

You can't be a fan of the Terminator movies and enjoy this season finale.

Sticking a 16 year old boy into the middle of the resistance in the future messes up the very essence of the timeline in the movies. It's worse than what T3 did. At least T3 didn't mess up the events leading up to Connor's leadership in the future.

I can understand the criticisms of the continuity, but then again I could point a finger all the way back to T2 allowing the T-1000 to come through the time portal. Liquid metal in the form of human flesh is NOT human flesh and should not come through the portal! Also, if Weaver's T-1000 metal shaping is hard enough to punch through the alloy torso chasis of a T-800 then Robert Patrick's character wasn't trying to kill Arnold hard enough.

The TV series in my view is completely independent of the movies and I don't get hung on these little points or I'd enjoy none of the series I watch on TV.

While I agree it does mess with the time lines quite a bit- It also gives us a chance to have a season three. If they do tie, and connect this series with the movie then I wouldn't mind the messed up time lines. I just want more Terminator. :)

I didn't think it was that bad :) The fake one was interesting, but I wasn't upset. Granted I think its quite the web of **** to deal with for a 3rd season. I would appreciate it. I like Summer Glau, I like Terminator, I like the show :$

I think the sad thing is that most likely Summer Glau probably won't be playing as Cameron. I have to say I really got to liking that character.

The point of the season finale, in my opinion, is that it allows more episodes for Season 3 (if there is one and I hope that there is). Instead of stupid filler episodes, like this season, they can actually have a story line that progresses through 22 episodes.

Also, the ending that was made up was not all that great. :no: It was ok, but this ending was right for a third Season.

+1 on more Summer! :D

I completely agree, This is a good time for the show to turn around and do good episodes, and no fillers.

Always +1 for more Summer :D

    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.

    • We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager

      By Steven P. · Posted

      We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk; I figured it could offer some neck pain relief. What's in the box: SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager Rechargeable Battery (inside massager) Type-C USB cable User Manual Quick Start guide 1-Year Warranty In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official listing, here are the key features: Biomimetic Kneading & High Torque Motor: Designed with innovative biomimetic kneading heads that perfectly simulate the touch of human hands. Powered by a high-torque motor, this massager delivers powerful and precise deep tissue relief to effectively target stiff neck muscles and release built-up tension Soothing Heat & Integrated Sound Relaxation: Experience the ultimate Relaxationation with our dual-action approach. The soothing heat function gently warms your neck, while the built-in sound Relaxation provides calming audio tracks, helping you achieve a state of mindfulness and mental tranquility during your physical massage Cordless Convenience & Travel-Ready & Father's Day Gifts: Crafted for maximum portability and ease of use. Its lightweight, cordless design allows you to enjoy a premium massage anywhere without the hassle of tangled wires-whether you're taking a quick break at your desk or winding down at home Versatile Relief for Home & Office: An essential wellness companion for office workers, gamers, frequent travelers, or anyone looking to integrate mindfulness into their daily routine. It seamlessly fits into your lifestyle, providing instant neck relief whenever and wherever you need it Safe & Premium Materials: Manufactured with high-quality, skin-friendly materials to ensure a safe and comfortable experience without irritation. SKG backs this device with dedicated customer service, making it a thoughtful tech-health gift for family and friends App & Bluetooth Music Control: Connect via Bluetooth to control your massage settings through the dedicated app and enjoy your favorite music during your massage session for a fully customizable and immersive relaxation experience Red Light Warmth Technology: Features advanced red light warmth technology that penetrates deep into neck muscles to enhance blood circulation and provide soothing comfort while relieving muscle tension and stiffness Design With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. SKG does not say what materials are used to make the neck massager. However, on the product website, it mentions "soft-touch silicone" with what looks like PU leather cushioning, with the rest being mostly made up of plastics. On the inside of the massager, there are two "biomimetic kneading heads" that are motorized for the different styles of massage, which are not actually listed at all in the paper user manual, but the standard included modes are: De-stress mode, Mediation mode, Relax mode, Shiatsu mode. The massager looks quite premium and is actually very comfortable to wear. This massager is small and light enough to go anywhere, as it doesn't get in the way of anything, so I was able to use it in the chair while writing this review. Unlike the back massager, SKG does not warn in the user guide not to use it for more than 30 minutes a day (or two 15-minute sessions). However, there is a long laundry list of important safeguards to consider before and during the use of the device, and it is warned that the neck massager is not waterproof. It also includes a 1,400mAh battery with a rated power of 14W and input of 5V, which is the standard for up to USB 3.0 power (although the Amperage is not mentioned at all). SKG does not say how long it takes to charge, but a quick calculation at 2A (if that is what it is) would mean it would take roughly 1.5 hrs to charge from empty. In any case, the light around the button changes from orange to green on a full charge. In addition, it is not possible to use the device while it is charging. On the right of the neck massager is the On/Off and modes button, which also acts as a joystick. You can operate all the modes directly from the power button, as well as the app, which I'll get into a bit later: Push up: Short press to adjust Heat levels On/Off button: long press Mode Switching: Short press (while in operation) ➕ Push left: increase Music volume ➖ push right: decrease Music volume Push down: Short-press to turn Music on or off The massager defaults to De-stress mode, and it is not stated anywhere if the neck massager has overheat protection. This time around, regarding heat, the only detail I could find is that it has "triple action soothing heat." The temperature stages are not listed anywhere in the paper manual, Amazon listing, or official website. The heat levels can be adjusted through the app or directly on the device using the joystick button. Usage There's also the SKG Health app, which makes using the massager far easier than feeling around for the button on the side of your neck. If the app is stopped, you are required to log in with a verification code over email, which I am not too pleased with, as this means it will only work that way for however long SKG decides to support it through said app. However, I was not able to get the app to connect to the OS500, which I have reported back to my contact. Bluetooth appeared to be working on the neck massager as it became available to pair with my phone, but the SKG app failed to discover it. Before I forget, there's also a switch next to the USB charging port to deactivate and activate the Voice Prompt, which, when enabled, audibly tells the user when switching intensities, modes, or connecting to the app and informs when the massages start and are completed. That said, on to my likes and dislikes, which are listed below. What I didn't like Unable to connect the Neck Massager to the app Use through the mobile app relies on continued support from SKG What I liked Can be used without the app Cordless use Light and comfortable to wear Heat is also quite comfortable Where to buy: According to the official website, this has an MSRP of $249.99, but is currently $50 (on Amazon). To sweeten the deal a bit more, there's also an in-page coupon that knocks a further $20 off the price. SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager for $179.99 on Amazon (was $199.99) Apply the in-page $20 off coupon for the final price of $179.99 Just like the back massager, this gets a confused thumbs up (due to the cost). However, I cannot rate it through app usage as it failed to connect. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
