The pilot also had that short Asian lady cop with the punk hair. I thought she looked interesting, and managed to be memorable without being TV-attractive.

I appreciate how complex the villains' plan to get in the evidence locker was in the pilot, compared to this episode when they basically manage it in the cold open.

No more Mister Quick!

a) They probably should have destroyed the Ginabot's head. But it was important evidence, not thought to be a threat, from a crime many years before. Stupid in retrospect but sort of understandable.

The rainy nighttime noodle shop scenes from the pilot were lifted so directly from Blade Runner than I half-expected to see Rutger Hauer in the background.

I actually liked the compliment thing, largely because it came from a little girl. It was a small, human moment, and it made her smile.

I can buy that he's probably not motivated by money or by mustache-twirling villainy, but he orchestrated the release of his killer robot fully knowing that she would kill anyone and everyone who stood between him and his objective.

I'll take your word on this since I don't remember it at all. Still, this seems like the first time that The Wall has been a big screaming deal, no?

Even worse: Canada.

"Lab equipment? I've got a homicidal robot on the loose in my city, and you want lab equipment?"

She wasn't a world-beater on Friday Night Lights, but she does okay given the right material.

Well, she's like super hot. She could probably foil a bank robbery just by being there and making the male robbers walk right into a revolving door.

Yeah, Minka Kelly gets so little to do that it's pretty hilarious.

Grey goo?

I know why they did it—obviously Gina Carano has a curvy and muscular body—but it's interesting in the world of the show that the seemingly impassive, inhuman XRN head selects the bombshell body in the corset and railnets.

The girlfriend persists in watching Arrow while I'm in the room.

Funny that you namecheck the T-1000 there. I always thought that the T-1000's sense of menace exuded partly from someone of Robert Patrick's relatively thin frame having such strength and speed.

I would have liked to see a bit more of why she was so dangerous in a combat situation, though.

I'm with McFarland on this one: all the characters suddenly talking about "The Wall" like it's this huge, ongoing deal all of a sudden is just… weird.

Yeah, it wasn't an amazing sitcom but it had a surprisingly large cultural footprint. And horndog attorney Dan Fielding was far and away the most memorable character, mostly due to Laroquette's performance.
