I am so not impressed with the show so far... maybe I just can't see passed the 4 foot 7 inch Terminator.

What, they are going to send a grown man/female to keep an eye on the boy while he goes through high school?

Maybe she looks more convincing when she is a bit taller (ie wears some heels)?

Besides she looks pretty hot as a Terminatrix:

or as a human:

yeah... I'll be watching this again this season, along with that new Fox show Fringe.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #4 on:** September 08, 2008, 07:21:49 pm »

I like the terminator, the show and the girl..

DaOld Man · « **Reply #5 on:** September 08, 2008, 09:00:09 pm »

Man great show tonight! Plus a familiar terminator.

Ratings are REALLY bad for this season - Only 5 million or so viewers according to Nielsen. The rumor mill is reporting terminator will be canceled sooner than later. I think a big part of the problem is that there is simply way too much competition on Monday night. Terminator is one of those 'Tivo' shows, that Nielsen screws over royally.

Anyways, just wanted to give the heads up to not be surprised when the season gets cut short.

It's not half as good as last season anyway... I'm considering giving up on it. I have only watched the first two episodes so far but they really didn't make a whole lot of sense.

You mean you can't understand why Skynet would waste a T-1000 on a corporate level 'sit in the office' mission?

At least watch the 3rd episode. It is pretty neat and deals with the terminator guy from last year. The girlfriend thing is annoying, and it is PAINFULLY obvious who she is and where she came from. I haven't watched the newest ep yet, but figure the girlfriend story will be addressed.

Actually it was more along the lines of why the blonde is always eating if she's not talking. Apparently that's how TV portrays fat chicks now.

Hoopz · « **Reply #10 on:** October 01, 2008, 11:10:56 am »

I hit fast forward through most of this week's episode. I watched the part about the FBI agent and the morphing terminator. The rest was just boring. Maybe I should have paid more attention.

I liked Blade: The Series more than this season of Sarah Conner... Too bad it got canceled last year. It wasn't great but I thought it was good.

She's pregnant. Very. They eat a lot. You've got two kids, didn't your wife get voracious?

Not a Summer Glau fan, eh? I'd watch a show about her doing nothing but reading a book.

You know, I was a firefly/serenity fan and thought she was downright homely back then. She is really hot now.

Hoopz · « **Reply #13 on:** October 01, 2008, 01:21:50 pm »

I like Summer, but this episode just didn't pull me in like most of the rest have done.

The teenager is pregnant?

Hoopz · « **Reply #15 on:** October 01, 2008, 01:32:36 pm »

You two CANT be on the same page. The pregnant girl is HUGE and her boyfriend is a cop.

As I've alluded to before, there is a reason you guys are confusing the pregnant girl and the teenager.

I thought she looked pretty hot in the movie already.

Well all I can say is that if I was John Connor, I would hit that thrice daily - robot or no.

ark_ader · « **Reply #19 on:** October 01, 2008, 04:31:27 pm »

Oooh Summer's in it?

I never watched it.

Time to recap.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #20 on:** October 01, 2008, 07:35:19 pm »

I am still liking the show, even though it does seem to be taking some wild twists.
Looks like the Summer Bot is losing her mind.. but I like the future flashes.
Not sure where they are going with the office bot.
I hope it doesnt get canceled yet.

shardian · « **Reply #21 on:** October 02, 2008, 06:31:53 am »

We didn't dig the newest episode. It was all over the place and kind of boring. Summer did a great job, but the story was crap.

Oh, and it blew my theory on the girlfriend out of the water - the baby is a boy.

That the convenient new blonde girlfriend was the unborn daughter of the landlord - and was from the future.

Hoopz · « **Reply #24 on:** October 02, 2008, 01:57:28 pm »

Maybe I should go back and watch the parts I fast forwarded through the other day. I enjoyed last season's shows and want to enjoy this season, but it's not pulling me in yet.

shardian · « **Reply #25 on:** October 02, 2008, 02:00:13 pm »

They're getting a little too weird this season.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #26 on:** October 03, 2008, 06:56:31 am »

I agree.. but I'm hoping it will change.
You would think it would be better, since the writer's strike is over.

ChadTower · « **Reply #27 on:** October 03, 2008, 08:46:55 am »

Watched up through the 4th ep... if it continues like this I won't make it to the 6th. It appears to be going nowhere very slowly.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #28 on:** October 07, 2008, 06:59:35 am »

Last nights episode was pretty good. I dont know about the Dodge commercial method though. I noticed right off that they were showing the features of the Dodge Truck right in the show. There were a lot of useless angle shots of the truck while they were driving.
Also reese pointed out the neat GPS system.. but come on, wheres the robot murders?
Also, did I miss an episode, or did they not elaborate on the Summer Bot flipping out on the last episode?

SirPeale · « **Reply #29 on:** October 07, 2008, 07:12:37 am »

They didn't elaborate, because Cameron wasn't the focus of the show.

Besides...she's "better" now.

Hoopz · « **Reply #30 on:** October 07, 2008, 08:36:01 am »

DVR'd it. Should I take the time to watch it or not?

shardian · « **Reply #31 on:** October 07, 2008, 10:33:20 am »

I'm sticking with the show, but fringe has replaced it in my 'must watch' category.

I watched one episode of Fringe. I didnt like it.
That blond FBI agent looks like she is in constant pain or something.
But other than that, I just didnt like the story line..

The FBI guy/T-1000 story is bad writing. I sure hope they are gonna go somewhere with that - and soon.

Another hanging plot point that has not been addressed is Cameron's habit of secretly hoarding parts and materials of terminators.

ChadTower · « **Reply #36 on:** October 08, 2008, 08:41:24 am »

I thought this episode was a lot better than the others this season. They aren't doing much of a job with staying serial - the episodes don't really flow one to the next - but I do like the strong attention they are paying to characterization. They have put a lot of effort into defining the characters of John, Sarah, and (the uncle whose name I forget). They even managed to give Cameron a personality without compromising the fact that she's a machine. You don't see characters like that very often on TV anymore. The plot may not be great but I like the people.

It wasn't on this week because of the baseball game. I think it comes out this coming up Monday.
