Come With Me If You Want To Live: Episode 5

Wow, this is up early today. Off to download.

Forgot to leave comments on the last vlog. I loved how you did the 3, 2, 1 countdown last week whenever you'd be going off topic. The discussion about that one student in class who puts up his hand right at dismissal was so funny. Reminded me of when I was in school.

Keep up the good work. I'll leave comments for this episode once my download is finished and I've had a chance to watch it. :D.

Every Atlanta reference just makes my day. Thanks Jenn!

As far as the cartoons go, I loved the themes to Heathcliff, Gummi Bears, Inspector Gagdet, and Doug. And I loved David the Gnome, too. Did you ever read the book that it was based on? That was one of my faves as a kid.

Thank you both for another great vlog!

Great vlog, loved it this week.

I haven't watched this series yet cause I live in the UK, but I love to hear your rants and I loved the terminator films.

I was wondering about "robot intrigue" in the third movie. I felt that the Kristanna lovely Loken's robot seemed to be a bit too emotional for a robot. It seemed to like killing a little bit too much and that head tilt inquisitive thing she did was really annoying. SHE"S A ROBOT SHE DOESN"T HAVE EMOTIONS!! That's why Arnold S was so good in the role (the only role he's ever been good in) because his wooden acting really worked well.

However, saying that maybe the newer robot models can like learn and gain human qualities/ emotions because like Turk 2 they can become unpredictable and adaptable. Or maybe because they are are not longer in continuous contact with a central hub i.e. skynet (as it hasn't been invented yet) they are no longer under it's control they can become more of an individual and disrupt their programming. Maybe it's a bit of both. 

Plus, in this series they seem to be leaving bits of robot everywhere. Do they want the government to get a head start on creating humanoid robots!   

I am soooooooo geeky. Sometimes, I surprise myself.  

Geez, when you said ducktails, tail spins, my goddess that's so old. I do remember some of those cartoons. I never really paid attention to the theme songs though. Since you went there remember Gem, Cabbage Patch kids, Garbage Pail kids, She-Ra. Don't forget School House Rock, not an actual cartoon show, but the theme song kicked butt. If you ladies are knocking on 30, I must be swimming in the  pool not quite needing a life boat.  

Having a boo creep at 4 am. Hmmm Sorry I can't relate to that one.

On the SCC: I think Cameron will become more human; it is why she is curious about things. Nice ref of  her to the Small Wonder girl.  Small Wonder was one of my favorite 80s shows to watch on tv. There are similaritiesof acting  between C and the Small Wonder girl.

I know the "read" I hear mostly among Gay men.

"Do I have to dial 9 to call 911?"( This  quote was shared to me by a nurse who was talking about her then 14 year old  daughter who asked her  this while the father was suffering a heat stroke)

  The 4:00 am question cause I Haven't had one but 4 seems fair cause that gives you 2-3 hours to sleep by yourself (think, or get ready) without worrying about this other person laying in your bed. Loved Doug and Arthur was, and still is, the bomb...read the books saw the show. I taught Pepper Anne was pretty kool (her little sister looked like a dude so straight off...gay and catchy theme song) Recess (would ccome straight from elementary and turn on the tv to watch Spinelli kick some arse, Gretchen being extremely smart and T.J being  slick p.s that marching band like theme song was catchy) Proud Family (One of the only getto shows in Disney) Power Puff girls (before it got canceled that theme song was all grr powa..Cartoon Network) Hey Arnold (sorry it's not Disney but he was damn cool)

  I missed mondays Ep cause I came home from school and just passed out from too much mental activity/drama in effin school. Glad to have you guys recapping this episode or I would totally be lost and crying on mondays Ep (This show is that good...yes it's no buffy but it's a pretty good 5 year later replacement).

Good job once again (been watching you gals every saturday before I go to work) Looking forward to next weeks Recap and more slang 101...Hopefully you'll be recapping until this show gets cancelled....2010 (hoping they keep going until their 4th season) ?  And just for the hell of it "do you or have you ever bop with it" or "Pon de River" and all those other dances that are taking over the hip hop world (Chicken noodle soup? Peanut Butter Jelly? Beang Ah? Drop?) or are you too cool for this?

"Tenia que ser Miercoles"

You guys took me waayyyyy back this morning!!

First of all, thanks for putting Episode 5 up so quickly. :) I don't watch TSCC but was curious: how's Richard T. Jones on it? If you're not sure who that is, he plays James Ellison (I hope he returns to "Girlfriends", btw).

"Small Wonder"...Lol I remember Vicky the robot.

Fave cartoon theme song: "Darkwing Duck" all the way!

Thanks for "The L Word" blast. I love Dawn Denbo but Jenn you're right: she's not intimidating at all. One "screw face" from me and one of my girls and Dawn Denbo would be half way back to South Beach. Trust! *snicker* 

Oh ladies, you're NOT old at all!  It breaks my heart but I could be your mom!  But heck I feel young in heart and mind!

As for cartoons....the ones from my era had some good theme songs:

Flintstones

Huckleberry Hound

Loved 'The Smurfs' regardless of their theme

The Jetsons, another good show

Rocky and Bullwinkle  (Moose and Squirrel dahlink)

lol 'Read"  Good one!!

...vlog!! 

Thanks for the puppy props.  Cooter (the bluetick coonhound) and Rory (terrier mix) are so excited!! 

Cooter's name brings up a gay slang question for me:
I love her so much I named her after one of my favourite things (hell - my most favourite thing).  To people not "in the know" I say she was named after the mechanic on Dukes of Hazzard.  Long question short - any chance we can get some "diamonds at the meeting of my thighs" slang?  Thanks!!
Keep up the amazing vlog ladies!

You forgot the line, "I won't bring metal down on the Connors". Chrome Artie snapping to attack mode with the vibrating cell phone was great.

Summer Glau's perfect acting mimicking Jordon freaking out, then going back to emotionless face like a light switch. *swoon*

Love the Small Wonder love! What was with the Raggity Anne outfit?

I watched Ducktales, Rescue Ranger, Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, and David the Gnome all the time. Good call on the great Disney theme songs. I use to know all the songs by heart, but my memory of them have wained a bit.

"I am the terror that flaps in the night. I am the cereal that get soggy in milk... I am Darkwing Duck!"

"Bad jokes are us, ur me."

Loved the Vlog ladies!! You brought back so many good memories with the cartoons I have to say Darkwing Duck and Chip -N- Dale were some of my favorite theme song. And eventhough its corny you gotta love the captain planet song, sure no real orchestra arraingments but who didn't sing along?

I've definitely heard "Read" before.

Oh Jenn I loved the Jodeci "Ooo - Yeah" lol

The cartoons I watched, and it seems as though I am around the same age as you two, were very similar. I loved Duck Tales...Woo-Hoo! Chip and Dales Rescue, Inspector Gadget, Chilli Willie, Popeye, Fat Albert, Gi Joe, Captin Planet, Ninja Turtles, Wile Coyote and Roadrunner (was that the name of the show?) There were tons more too.

Loved this weeks vlog.

Great vlog ladies!

I'm kinda young but i totally remember

what you're talking about!

Puzzle place was my favorite and it's

like noone remembers it now.

Ducktails was my favorite theme song.

And i'm pretty sure my first crush was Luna the clown

from The Big Comfy Couch.

p.s

Everyone should basically just go out and watch Paris is Burning.

Thanks for the slang and the HIGHlarious vlog :]

I have the mutant mega flu so I have been trying not too laugh all thru your vlog. I didn't make it thru. I was coughin so I had to watch it twice.

These are my random comments:

I try not to shop at bootleg.com but they have good stuff.

I love all the 80's cartoons. I was talking about them when Alvin and chipmunk movie came out. Ya'll are right. They had some of the best theme music and just was good period.

I kind of remember puzzle place but I loved me some Aruthur and PBS. I dont remember Small Wounder but I remember The Littles.

I am totaly with ya'll on Ms. Conner's outfit goin into the jail. I was drooling.

Jenn I am with you on the getting on crack. If Amy Winehouse and Whitney can get several grammy's and make millions of dollars and just have to do rehab and do no real jail time I am all with that.

For my last thought...I was thinking the same thing when Brian Austin bumped into Sarah in the hallway. I thought he was robbing her. Then I thought that I am getto as hell.

Dont stop doing the vlogs, ya'll are too good now you cant quit. EVER!!

Oh, I kind of thought ya'll were around my age cause ya'll make too many PBS and 80 references too well too be younger.

Rescue Rangers!  Great theme song!  I completely agree that Disney was rocking the 80s and early 90s.  Loved Duck Tales and Tales Spin.  I didn't really like Dark Wing Duck but the theme song was cool.  Another to add was Tiny Toons and Animaniacs.  Gotta love Pinky and the Brain, "What are we gonna do tonight Brain? Same thing we do every night Pinky....TRY TO TAKEOVER THE WORLD!"  

As for your L word thoughts, yeah, I am a 6'1 jock, so I would really laugh very hard at Dawn Denbo and her "It's On" comments.  

And last but not least, I think you two are great!  Keep up the good work.  I love your girls, Jenn!  Black cats have a special place in my heart.  I even have a black panther tattoo, partly because of my childhood black cat.

 black cat tat   

Thanks for the last ten minutes of nonsensicalness. My girlfriend and I BUSTED out laughing when Jenn said "Got our work out of the way early". Hilarious.

Maybe I'm just projecting, but it looks like you guys are getting bored with the show. I for one am definitely tired of the nonsense and million terminators and all that. I still haven't gotten over the fact that Cromartie's busted head went forward in time or that people are time travelling all over the damn place. What is this, an episode of Quantum Leap? The show is not very tight storywise, I think it's because of the writer's strike and how the creator and showrunner of SCC was completely "pencils down" for most of the episodes we've seen. It's kind of a nonsensical mess. BSG, this ain't. At this point, it's not even The Incredible Hulk.

And as an aside - Dee, don't ever change! Love that you wave the nerd flag loud and proud. Computer beating chess champion? Awesome.

Man, I'm starting to think that Cameron's kinda evil =(. But I love her, she's so entertaining to watch.

OH! and I remember SMALL WONDERS AND the PUZZLE PLACE! Sucks that puzzle place isn't on anymore...I thought it was a cute show haha. It's funny how all the kids were paired up (sky with julie, jodie with ben, kiki and leon...well that's just what it looked like to me haha and I love the cat and dog). I was also upset that arthur had a voice change...so I stopped watching that. Ok I should stop.

You girls were great!

 yall was anywhere in the A this week it was like -12 degrees outside now for no reason... you still killin' me softly wit dem shorts though D. i'm so proud of you guys for making a good impression on Lori&Sarah enough to judge the comp. for Dinah Shore!!!! many Kudos to you both....i bet yall don't remember maya the bee that came on after david the gnome, i also liked tmnt thus the props on the jacket Jenn, what about the x-men cartoon that had a tight theme song too, and who can forget freakazoid!! hell yeah. anyway i just turned 28 and i need to get back to the debachery taking place so keep doin whatcha do shawty man and i'll just be mad for dat walk i gotta take once i get off dat 15 county line just to make sure i get in on yalls thread before like the 8th page.

i'm not sure if that's my gaydar or my fire alarm ringing but,its hot as hades in here......."ladyj"

Jenn - How you gonna say "Sarah Conner cheated on me..." and then Dee try to console you. Now I know that you drink on weekdays.

Also, I like my woman to stay all night (if I had one) cause I cook breakfast in the morning. Or we go to the Waffle House!!!

"I call shotgun."

"I call 9mm."

I covet Cameron's boots. But honestly, after watching Sarah do those pull-ups I totally spaced on the plot...

Man, the memories... I remember the day my parents got cable television. The first show I ever watched on cable was Dumbo's Circus (...flying out of the sky! You'll never see another show like this!) I used to have to fight my sister to be able to watch David the Gnome. Now I just have a vague memory of hundreds of rabbits trapped on a flooding island... And The Wuzzles? (Two times the fun, wrapped up and rolled into one!) Just how many drugs were the writers on? Fraggle Rock was like The Muppets on acid. (Dance your cares away! *clap clap* Worries for another day! Let the music play! *clap clap* Down in Fraggle Rock!) The most bizarre show of all has to be Today's Special. None of my friends remember it. (Or else they won't own up to watching it.) It was about a department store mannequin that came to life when his magic hat was put on him. Damn it. Now I'm going to spend the rest of the day singing the theme to Pinwheel. (Pinwheel, pinwheel, spinning around! Look at my pinwheel and see what I've found.)

And this is my cat. She almost knocked my computer screen over during Lady's closeup...

But the old ones! Oh I have some good ones that I just love!

• Kill the Wabbit
• Rabbit of Seville
• Leopold (dont remenber the actual name but Bugs was playing Leopold an orchestra director lol)
• Hillbilly Hare (LOL)
• The singing frog? the one that sings Hello my baby hello my darling...

maybe not lol

Right after you guys mentioned Darkwing Duck, David the Gnome, and asked us to submit our favs, I literally grabbed a pen and wrote down Rescue Rangers and Tail Spin right as you went on to name those. Amazing. Another one that randomly pops in my head, even though I didn't actually watch the cartoon much, is the theme from Captain Planet, haha. Anyway, as always great vlog :)

Also, glad to hear you'll meet up with the rest of the AE Team at Dinah! It'll be hilarious to hear the reactions from the judges table.

As always, I must say I love the vlog.

Dee, you mentioned that you didn't understand why Dixon’s fiancé reacted the way she did, but is said that if Sara is still alive then she would be considered a dangerous person and wanted by the FBI. Remember, to anyone else Sara was an unstable woman who blew up a bank with her son and a teenage girl in it. If you were the fiancé and the FBI is questioning if you are harboring a fugitive like that I think you would be upset. Especially if your fiancé knew she was still alive and didn't tell you about it.

I am a child of the eighties, with 30 coming right around the corner so I remember small wonder and all the cartoons you mentioned. I am also a proud math geek (ramblin wreck, from Ga Tech, a helluva engineer) so I loved the show square 1 that aired on PBS. Does anyone remember it? Now as for my favorite cartoon theme songs I have several. Inspector gadget, tiny Toon adventures, Muppet babies and of course Thunder cats. I was always Chetara (I guess that's how you spell her name.) But my all time favorite was Fraggle Rock.

Jenn, I luv the fact that you always rep ATL. I myself am a Crawford Long baby and went to Fulton Co. schools. I would say the name of my high school but you probably never heard of it since I was bussed up to the north side and the school was lame. I grew up in College Park and would have gone to Banneker, since it was my home school. I lived right around the corner from Crefelo A. Dollar's church world changers. What high school did you attend?

I also generally use 5 am on a weekday and around 8 am on weekends. In general I prefer to sleep over at someone else's just so I can avoid having to kick someone out.

Wow, I can't believe I wrote so much. I can’t wait for the next vlog.

I loved this vlog guys! You two are sooo hilarious :D And the gay slang is very informative! I've heard the "read" slang before on the D.C. Metro.

I never grew up with cable either, so I watched Arthur all the time also. It was such a sweet show. The only cartoon theme songs besides that one that I remember liking are Russian....

I've heard of reading before [N-Y-C Represent!!] but I didn't know you could do it in two ways, so thanks for that.

And also thanks for bringing such a thorough recap since I missed this epi. And to answer the random question of favorite theme songs I liked [in no particular order]:

Aladdin

Gullah Gullah Island

Captain Planet

Arthur

Goof Troop

Pink Panther (no words but still one of the coolest tunes ever)

Well that's enough reminiscing for me. Catch ya next Vlog. Appreciate cha!

"Captain Planet, he's our hero, gonna take pollution down to zero..." Probably my favorite theme song. I realize now how corny it sounds though.

I don't even watch this Sarah Connor Chronicles but I love the vlog. Keep up the good work you two...and I love your shirt Dee but Jenn is right, it does sound sexual.

when i was a lil girl like ten i loved loved loved SAILOR MOON. i kno its a lil girly and cheezy but you gotta love it. its soo great and the sailor scouts were hot as hell. i had a major crush on Serina for like ever. lol. and also i loved PEPPER ANN and ANGELA ANACANDA.

and umm JENN, YOU LOOKED SOO GREAT THIS WEEK EVEN THOUGH U R SICK,(sorry, and i hope you feel better soon) and DEE LOOKED HOT IN THAT SHIRT.

Which ones appeared at what time in my life gets muddles, but here are the ones I watched, or at least the ones I liked:

X-Men

Spider-Man

Sam & Max

Rugrats

Doug--interesting sidenote with Doug, we had a kid in track in high school named Doug.  He was very pale and so exhertion and embarassment could be seen quite easily.  One of the girls in track would therefore sing the Doug themesong as he rand by during practice and we would see his entire body go pink.

Duck Tales--a personal favorite song for my high school's powder puff cheerleaders

Chip & Dale

Looney Tunes--reruns, but so fun

Muppet Babies

That's what I remember right now.  There are likely more, but the other one that does come to mind was definitely later and more of an anachronistic appreciation.

Ave Messer, 66, B24, GO SHASTA!!!

Well i think that Cam is like facinated with the parts because she realizes thats what she is made of. she is trying to understand human emotions and understand if she is more than just a piece of metal. also, cam is thinking, since they are trying to stop the creation of All the terminators, if they do so how is she going to be made, so like (she thinks) they can make good terminators like her and no bad terminators like Chromarty

thats my theory...fell free to debate me

iam only 18 but i liked FRANKLIN AND UMMM THE BIG COMFY COUCH

Childhood Cartoons

Okay, I STILL watch cartoons sometimes right now, my favorite being Kim Possible. (I actually have the Kim Possible soundtrack. I blame Christy Carlson Romano. I'm sorta obsessed w/ her.) Kim Possible's like a cartoon, kid-friendly, non-vampire slaying redhead Buffy. Her and Shego? Wow, cartoon characters should not have that much sexual tension between each other. I'm your basic, average girl, and I'm here to save the world, you can't stop me 'cuz I'm... Kim Possible.

Powepuff Girls has an okay theme song, too. They're sort of like the cartoon superhero version of Charlie's Angels. Fighting crime, trying to save the world, here they come just in time, the Powerpuff Girls. Powerpuffs save the day!

I loved Doug and The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, too. Also hmm... PB&J Otter (I still say "Oodelay-o" sometimes in public. Not a great habit.) Rocket Power. The Wild Thornberries. I didn't really watch as many cartoons as some kids did, so I can't really think of any others. Except CGI shows, and even then, only Jimmy Neutron (and I also have the Jimmy Neutron movie soundtrack.)

Morally Ambiguous Terminator

I think Cameron was designed to emulate human emotions, and she's developed this habit of collecting things because she, like, appreciates the historic value of them or something. Like they're her origins, the closest thing she has to ancestry. Cameron is NOT an evil Terminator... I won't let it happen.

Actually, she'd probably be cuter evil... okay, I changed my mind, she's going to be the end of the Connors and the human race. And she'll wear red leather while she does it. There could perhaps be a whip involved. Yeehaw!
