Trivia:

Sarah's closing narration, outlining how a terminator can not be deterred from its mission, was indeed said by Kyle to Sarah in the first Terminator movie. Kyle did say, "the terminator is out there," rather than, "the machine is out there," but after all those years, Sarah can surely be forgiven for not getting it verbatim.

Goofs:

Factual errors: If Sarah's blood-type is O-negative, then it is impossible for her to have a son that is AB-negative. Assuming that Kyle was AB-negative like Derek, then John could only be A- or B-negative; not even O-negative. Also, either John or Sarah should have been able to give Derek her blood, as she is a near universal donor, Derek is a near universal acceptor and they all have the same Rh factor.

Quotes:

Charley Dixon: You know, little girl, you freak me the hell out. I mean, on the outside, you're just as pretty as a picture, but on the inside... you're a...
Cameron Phillips: Hyper-alloy combat chassis.
Charley Dixon: Right. Is that a complicated way of saying 'robot'?
Cameron Phillips: Cybernetic organism. Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.
Charley Dixon: Okay, 'scary robot'.

Reasonable Only

John calls the EMT Charley Dixon to help Derek Reese, who is bleeding and near death, needing a blood transfusion. John donates his blood and saves Derek, while Charley asks for explanations to Sarah. Meanwhile Derek dreams with his last days in the future, when his group was captured and tortured by the machines.

In this reasonable episode, Sarah discloses her knowledge of the fate of the human beings to Charlie. Derek recalls in flashback what has happened with his team. Cameron destroys the skeleton of a Terminator, but keeps a part hidden with her. My vote is six.
