Among the highlights -
1. I really like Cameron this year - more multi-dimensional. Although she's recovered from the exploding car, and gotten back her override, there's more to her than the lingering suspicion that she could go bad at any instant. Her brush with death has made her more human.
2. John is starting to hook up with a girl at school. Don't tell me she's a Terminator, I won't believe it, and I'll be disappointed. It would be far more interesting to see them have some kind of relationship, with Cameron jealous, Sarah concerned, etc.
3. Sonya Walger's back as Charley Dixon's wife. Now, if they could bring on Charlie Pace and Desmond ... But, even so, it's always good to see Sonya/Penny.
4. Speaking of shoutouts, good to see Paul Schulze on the show tonight - aka Agent Richard Garrity on Journeyman, Ryan Chappelle on 24 and Father Phil on The Sopranos. Alas, Schulze's character on Sarah Connor had the same fate as Garrity on Journeyman and Chappelle on 24....
5. Back to Charley - good scene with him and Agent Ellison...
6. And Sarah gets exposed to radiation - which may or may not be what ultimately kills her. Nice can't avoid your fate touch there.
This season is off to a better than last year's, and is already firing on all cylinders.

I agree that John's new girlfriend is definitely not a terminator, and it looks like she may even become a regular character and part of the group. She certainly doesn't seem tied down to her parents. It occurred to me that Cameron may have reacted strangely, because she recognized her from the future.
The thing about stating the month and day at the beginning of every call is kind of strange. Is John recording every call he gets, so he can use the dates as a reference for future time travel when he sends agents back? Or is it a sort of password, so he knows that it's not a terminator disguising its voice? But why use the date (rather than something else) as a password?
The radiation thing was confusing. I'm not sure that Sarah was actually exposed. The first time it happened was apparently a false positive, which is odd. The second time, the geiger counter said she hadn't been exposed. (The room itself may not be radioactive; it may just be susceptible to leaks from time to time.)
"The radiation thing was confusing. I'm not sure that Sarah was actually exposed. The first time it happened was apparently a false positive, which is odd."
I got the impression that that was just a particularly cruel, unprofessional but certainly not unbelievable practical joke played on her by the asshole boss, on finding her snooping around.
It's a simplistic assessment, I admit, but it seemed in keeping with the character's actions throughout.
