educate yourself.
September 15, 2008 – 4:32 pmTonight our second episode, Automatic for the People, airs at 8PM/7PMc only on FOX.
Before you watch, educate yourself. What’s that title “Automatic for the People” referencing? Here are highlights of what wikipedia has to say:
“Automatic for the People is the eighth album by the American alternative rock band R.E.M., released in 1992. The album was a critical and commercial success, with three top 40 hits in the U.S. and UK. The album was a big hit on both sides of the Atlantic. It was the band’s first widespread popular album in the UK - placing at number 1 for 4 non-consecutive weeks (1992 and 1993) - and on the album charts for 179 weeks. In America it reached number 2 and remained on the album charts for 75 weeks. The album’s extremely successful performance in Britain foreshadowed how the band would later become more popular in the UK than in their homeland.
The album name refers to the motto of Athens, Georgia eatery “Weaver D’s Delicious Fine Foods.” The photograph on the front cover is not related to the restaurant: it shows a sign on a motel in Miami, where part of the album was recorded. The album was also recorded in New Orleans.”
Awesome, but I wouldn’t waste my time listening for any R.E.M. in tonight’s episode. Our version of Automatic for the People is titled so for an entirely different reason…

Would it have to do with the article written by Michael Fitzpatrick of The Guardian, who under the heading, “Automatic for the people,” relating the human cost of the robot revolution and it’s changes on human society

Season 2 is so different than season 1.
It’s much more HBO like @ times. More well written.
I like the T-1000 model in this season. It’s pretty amazing. It does bring a brand new scope the the entire time travel aspect to the series.
Can’t wait to see the model from Terminator 3 show up near the end of season 2 of maybe next season for a cameo or two! lol…
Skynet is working hard!

Loved the new episode! Was great! My only complaint is the lack of Sarah monologues
