HSM3 Ending

Exactly how does High School Musical 3 end? I don't care for musicals, but am somewhat curious as there is no ending mentioned in the article. 203.188.92.70 (talk) 00:25, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

I suppose something nice with Gabriella and Troy? I don't care about it, and at any rate I don't think it's even showing in my part of the world. Vltava 68 (talk contribs) 08:18, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound condescending, if I do. Vltava 68 (talk contribs) 08:51, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

well, it basically ends with the graduation, then they sing this big song that the whole school participates in. Nothing else is explained after that, we just assume that they live happily ever after. --Dlo2012 (talk) 20:52, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

By which you mean, happily ev—until the beginning of the next sequel. zafiroblue05 | Talk 22:51, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Japanese historical novel

A couple of years ago I read a novel that was very interesting and fun to read. As far as I remember the plot it was something like this: set in the 1600s in Japan, a young Japanese swordsman's first mission is to protect the safety of a young princess as she travels between two cities. The two of them fall in love but obviously a love affair is out of the question. Her father wants to have her married to a cruel old man and the young samurai travels to China where he takes part in various wars for many years. I think she later is sent to some kind of convent where she is saved by him.

I can't remember the author (not James Clavell) and I can't find anything relevant at Amazon. I think the title was a Japanese word but I'm not sure. Does the plot ring a bell with anybody? Thuresson (talk) 12:10, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Sarah Connor Chronicles

In the TV show Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, where does Sarah, John and the rest get their money. From what I can tell, they are not employed but always seem to have money for rent, food, a shiney new pick up, weapons and tech. How do the writers account for the cash supply? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.161.221.39 (talk) 19:46, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

It is probably a case of artistic license. It may not make for compelling viewing to show how the individuals earning money. Much like in my (admittedly limited) viewing of the series 24 nobody ever seems to be getting a solid 8 hours sleep. Tv shows rarely stick to perfect realism. Even shows like CSI which are supposed to be gritty and real etc. will just ignore important things so as to prevent for making dull tv. Admittedly some of these lack-of-explanations in shows are more frustrating than others. ny156uk (talk) 23:25, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

They have a big bag of diamonds. I forget the exact details now but they found it somewhere in the first series. Well, it's either that, or Sarah is pimping Cameron out at night. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 23:35, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, at least with Cameron one does not need to worry about STDs . . . Thanks everyone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.161.221.39 (talk) 01:28, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Well T2 had a scene where John hacked an ATM, so one can assume he learned this from Sarah so presumably she has the ability to hack ATMs for cash as needed. Exxolon (talk) 23:22, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
