Add to the MILF from Hell and the hot robot “sister” a grumpy uncle from the future (Brian Austin Green) and mom’s ex-boyfriend (Dean Winters), whose new wife has conveniently died as of this season’s second episode, and a rampaging male Terminator (the chilling Garret Dillahunt). This season we also have Garbage’s orange-haired Shirley Manson as a shapeshifing Terminator playing a corporate queen bitch. (In perhaps the best vagina dentata scene on TV ever, she emerged from a urinal to corner one of her enemies in the men’s room as he took a leak.)
Meanwhile, a “real” girl, Riley (Leven Rambin), has entered the scene at school. When John scolds his robot sister for staring at Riley rudely, Cameron replies, “I was assessing her threat level.” “Am I safe?”, John asks sarcastically. “I don’t know,” Glau deadpans. “Girls are complicated.”
