WOW.

The mid season finale of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was awesome!

For a few totally geeky-movie nerd-fanboy reasons.

Could be the three dots?

I thought the photos at the UFO convention Sarah visits looked way too familiar.

I'm not so crazy after all!

They are strikingly similar to these:

BigBasin sighting

Which come from Isaac’s blog† about being an employee in a secret military “ufo” research facility.

This floated about the blogosphere a little while back, mostly tying into some heresay viral ads for Halo 3.

I remember it from a post on digg.com about it. (Do you follow me here? Cause we ain’t even close to done yet.)

But of course the tin-foil hat brigade got a hold of Isaac’s CARET documents and inspected the secret ufo photos! (USING THE EMBOSS FILTER in Photoshop. Just like how you can tell George Bush is a lizard from another dimension.* )

So what the John Connor just happened?

Did the writers at T:TSCC re-use a Halo:3 viral campaign’s concept, which is in one

sense a repurposing of UFO sub-culture event? Yes, I think they did and much to my chagrin!

Because it’s all so totally over the top GEEKY.

You got your meme in my fanfic indeed folks!

A little bit too far is never enough! Mixing non canon movies-turned-tv-show with wacky Believe it or not style Alternate reality game, with ultra creepy fringe conspiracy theory! What else will they grab for the next half of the season?

Are LOLcats really just the Turk trying to understand human emotion?

And what does this all mean for conceptual copyright?

If it’s just a meme of a meme of a meme, is it really just a product of sponsorship and popculture? A wink’s as good as nod to a blind audience right? It’s all a very grey area (pun intended).

It’s crazier than the plot to Primer!

SPOILER ALERT: In case you haven’t seen the episode.

OH YEAH BABY!

The drones that the ufo wo/man “Abraham” (which is a nod to Isaac’s CARET blog. Oh T:TSCC, you did take Old Testament 101!) was seeing thinking that they were ufo’s, are (drumroll….)

PROTOTYPE Hunter Killer Drones.

Those things are so freaking sweet! I only watch the future scenes of the original Terminator just to see those things rain down plasma!

PEW-PEW-PEW! Bring it on in February Sarah!

†Or is it a hoax, or an advertisement? It’s still a blog though, at least structurally.

*HUH? Presidential aliens, the what you say?**

***Fine, ok here.
