• I loved the Groundhog Day-esque events of the episode with the added touch that Carter got injured more and more as time went on and the eventual sacrifice and death of a major character before their wedding.--HuskersRule 01:55, 6 March 2009 (EST)

• I like this episode for showing many scenes of what the future is like after Skynet takes over, even though we already saw them in T2, but it was still interesting to see another take on what the future might turn out to be for the characters.--HuskersRule 01:55, 6 March 2009 (EST)
