Sweet Beadie Russell!

Dukie from Season 4 was just on the Unusuals a couple weeks ago.

Bubbles and Cutty (as a Terminator!) were both on Sarah Connor. Before it got [expletive] cancelled.

holy crap, Cutty showed up as a terminator?

I would have kept watching that show if I knew that was going to happen.

Yeah, he was a good Terminator. That sub episode was cool. I imagine a lot like the movie will be.
