After having a pretty hectic day (200+ miles traveling to client sites, note the plural and 3 mile run in the evening) I spent this evening catching up on TV and web. A site I have been trying to follow and failing to keep up with the cascade of posts is

Someone tells John Connor that he's not the heroic "Future John" yet.
Summer Glau repeats something someone has just said to her, in a robotic monotone.
Drink a whole shot every time:Sarah Connor has a voice-over where she quotes from literature or history, or talks about wise old sayings.
Summer Glau says something dorky, like "Thank you for explaining." Or tries to talk like a cool kid and fails.

A Terminator other than Summer Glau is in a scene, and doesn't commit any violence.
John Connor has a surrogate-dad moment with Brian Austin Green or his ex-step-dad.
John Connor decides to prove he's a hero by doing something completely half-cocked.
Drink a healthy swig of beer and a whole shot whenever:Another Terminator gets its skin ripped off, or actually gets deactivated, but Summer Glau walks away without a scratch.
There's a discussion of whether Summer Glau has a soul.
Sarah Connor screams at her son, or cries.
