Dungeons & Dragons was another cool episode of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This episode begins when the last one ended: With Charley attempting to fix Derek Reese who can't lay still because he thinks Cameron wants to harm him. We then see flash-forwards of the future he came from with Kyle, his brother and the father of John Connor with Sarah, and other rebels trying to avoid the Skynet machines that flash lights on them. We see them get captured and chained in an abandoned house and then somewhere down the road, Kyle disappears, presumably to where Sarah lived before John was born...Back in the present, Sarah tells Charley everything (well, almost. He figures on his own Kyle's connection with John) and while he doesn't understand, he accepts. He does think that Cameron, while hot on the outside, is a "very scary robot" on the inside as he sees her about to burn the exoskeleton of the Terminator from the last episode. We also once again see the part from his head that she puts in her pocket. What's up with that? Back in Derek's flash-forward, he's encountering Cameron here who is also in the protect mode there but because of his harsh treatment by other machines immediately tries to shoot but is prevented so from a superior. After demanding a few times, he finally gets to see future John but he looks like his younger self. That's because by this point we flash back to the present with that John waking Derek up and telling him what a great hero his brother was without revealing his relation to him with respect to his mother. In the last flash-forward scene, Derek and his comrades are teleported to the present Los Angeles naked where the ruins they came from are replaced by the still-standing buildings from perhaps a time before any of them were even born. Oh, and before that, we find out that Andy Goode was chained with Derek and Derek actually killed him when he went to his room. With that, this episode ends...Another awesome episode with some cool gore scenes that lives up to the "Viewer Discretion Advised" warning that always appears in the beginning of this program. Compelling use of closeups and lighting for the future segments and good exposition dialogue between Charley and Sarah. By the way, Sarah looks particularly luminous in those close-ups. Is Cameron's mentioning of some machines "going bad" a foreshadowing of what is going to happen to her especially after getting some parts from the destroyed Terminator following her statement that "all parts must be destroyed"? (or was that Sarah that said that?) Oh well, since I don't want my head to keep on spinning (or exploding!), I'll just say Dungeons & Dragons was another excellent episode of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles".
