Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 1 Episode 1

Nitpick: When Ellison and Deputy Ridge are discussing the school shooting incident both of them mention the shooter and his robot leg. Interestingly, neither of them comment on something else that happened during the incident, such as how did a school bus get turned on its side?

During the initial fight in the house between Cameron and the rival Terminator, the shotgun Sarah pulls out of the wall is the same model the character used against the T-1000 in the final scenes of Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Sarah and John use the alias of Reese. Kyle Reese was Sarah's first protector in the original Terminator movie and is John's father.

Danny and Tarissa Dyson live at 41645 Mulholland Drive , Los Angeles CA, 90272.

Sarah Connor was born in Los Angeles, CA. She is 33 years old, 5'4" tall and weighs 110 pounds.

Goof: In the scene of Agent Ellison first meeting Charley Dixon a wall clock can be seen on the wall several times, albeit briefly. Look closely and you can see that the clock isn't working, as the second hand doesn't move.

Nitpick: When Cromartie walks up to the bank he determines that the S.W.A.T. team is no threat as they lower their weapons at the sight of him. From his appearance it would be understandable that they would be taken aback, since none of them know what they are really looking at. This doesn't explain why a moment later they don't act to stop him when Cromartie smashes through the doors into the bank, as this is what they are trained to do.

Goof: In Terminator 2, John Connor is 10 years old, as we can see when the T-1000 looks up at the police car's computer. So the events in T-2 took place in 1995. As mentioned by John in this episode, 'that' happened 2 years ago, so this pilot should be placed in 1997 instead of 1999.

Goof: When Sarah, John and Cameron go through the time vortex, they lose everything they were carrying - clothing, weaponry, and even bandages. Whilst Cameron's open wounds from battling Cromartie earlier in the episode are clearly visible, there is no sign of Sarah's gunshot wound to the shoulder.

Nitpick: It doesn't make sense that Cameron would fall to the floor seemingly unconscious or dead from a few gunshots, leaving John unprotected as he flees the classroom. Presumably this was done so that the reveal of Cameron being a terminator would be a surprise to the viewer.

Goof: In the opening sequence, when Sarah and John get arrested, Sarah is shown being forced into the police car from the passenger side. It then cuts to a clip of the policeman pushing Sarah's head down into the car from the driver's side. Finally, it cuts to a shot from inside the car showing Sarah entering from the passenger side.
