I had a brain gas bubble. The picture got burned in the future, so Ellison could very well have it now.
Never mind..

I had to work last night, and I forgot to set the DVD recorder, so I didnt see that episode.
Did I miss anything good?

Meant to post this before you, dammit! Need to remember sooner next time.

I liked it. The end was really good. I missed bits and pieces so I'd like to watch it from the beginning when it's quiet so I can get everything.

The end was a big WHOA scene.

I thought it was a very good episode and they finally explained what some of the secondary characters have to do with the overall plot of the show. If you're interested in the overarching plots, then it was a "can't miss" type of episode.

I agree. I did miss a couple episodes earlier this year so I'm not sure what we're supposed to know but I was very surprised when two females ended up having a moment (not that way!).

Not to spoil it for DaOld Man though...

DaOld Man · « **Reply #85 on:** November 25, 2008, 10:31:58 am »

Dag nab it!
I figured I would miss some good things!
I wonder if they have the episode on fox.com by now?

Hoopz · « **Reply #86 on:** November 25, 2008, 10:47:49 am »

Yes, it's on Fox.com now.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #87 on:** November 25, 2008, 11:22:35 am »

I just watched the episode on fox.com.
Fantastic!
This show just keeps getting better.

On the original show, were the commercials short like they are on fox.com? If so, I think I will start watching all the episodes on the net.

hyiu · « **Reply #88 on:** November 26, 2008, 02:10:09 am »

watching on the net is better...
you only get 1 commercial....
and for nbc shows.... you can download the HD version too....

(well... I don't have a big flat clear new LCD with digital reception yet...)

so, watching thru the net is better quality for me...

DaOld Man · « **Reply #89 on:** December 01, 2008, 05:34:37 pm »

Bumped to remind everyone to watch tonights episode.
Looks like it's going to be a good one.

shardian · « **Reply #90 on:** December 05, 2008, 02:40:25 pm »

I really liked this episode. Definitely a stand-alone ep, but very entertaining. I have a new theory as to why Cameron is 'harvesting' parts.

First off, a few episodes back they commented that a Terminator they took out had a 'hack proof' chip. This would signify that in the future the terminators also have hack proof chips. So, how does John get more robots to work on his side in the war if he can no longer reprogram the robots?

Simple: Send Cameron back with a side mission of securing as many good chips and repair materials that she can. Then when she catches back up to the future, she can hand it all over to John.

There is only one flaw with this theory: Why not just tell past John and Sarah about that mission? The answer is simple: Future John told her not to! They would probably just disagree anyways because they are hardcore on the 'destroy everything' policy. Remember the central conflict in T2? End of Story.

I really liked all of the slow walking away ass shots of Summer Glau this week. The storyline was meh but they got a lot of the right shots of her from the right angles.

Hoopz · « **Reply #95 on:** December 05, 2008, 09:55:12 pm »

Again, I have to wonder why the first part of the season wasn't as well written as the last 4 or 5 episodes. This week's was as good as anything in the series so far. Much better than most other shows on television.

Hoopz · « **Reply #96 on:** December 09, 2008, 12:38:12 pm »

Only saw the first 1/2 of this week's show. Can't wait for the rest of it. I'm really impressed with how they are moving things now.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #97 on:** December 09, 2008, 10:33:02 pm »

I really like the way the show is branching off into other plots.
But I suppose it's the only way they can keep in floating, I mean you can only do so much with one plot line.

ChadTower · « **Reply #98 on:** December 10, 2008, 08:46:15 am »

It's branching but not progressing anything in any way. It just keeps branching. They haven't found anything or done anything of note. They just keep running around in circles with no obvious reasoning. I mean why was the terminator chick in the library to begin with? She didn't go there looking for that other terminator, she just noticed him in a photo while there.

I think she was there looking for Terminators. She appears to have a database full of all the other terminators sent back. This supports my theory of her hoarding parts/chips.

It's possible but better direction would have actually told us that somehow. Like a phonecall with Sarah or something.

shardian · « **Reply #101 on:** December 10, 2008, 09:18:31 am »

Maybe not all those notes on the wall are meant for everyone to understand. Sarah is obsessed with the dots, but as we were kind of indirectly told, the 3 dots was really meant for Cameron.

I also haven't seen Monday's ep yet. So I can't comment on anything that happened in it.

It would be nice if they made an effort for the viewers to understand. That's my main problem. When there are less shots of the Terminator chick walking away the show is a lot less entertaining for me. I don't like stuff that lacks reasonable explanation.

Monday's ep didn't connect in any way with the library ep.

shardian · « **Reply #103 on:** December 10, 2008, 09:37:09 am »

So ummm... when do we get to see Cameron use her anatomically correct skillz to extract some information from someone.

It would serve 2 purposes:
1. It would add some tension between her and John - kind of like she 'cheated' on him.
2. We would get to see some side boobage on Summer.

It's a win/win!!

ChadTower · « **Reply #104 on:** December 10, 2008, 09:48:30 am »

I'm still waiting for that from Kristi Swanson in Deadly Friend.

Definitely true. This show, unlike most "normal" shows, takes leaps in the plot that leave a lot of unanswered questions. Battlestar did that fairly well (at least initially). I think the juries still out on how they are going to fill in the holes. The story lines are intriguing but I always feel like I missed an episode even though I haven't....

Hoopz · « **Reply #106 on:** December 16, 2008, 09:20:50 am »

So the first "half" of the season is over. Definitely had it's ups and downs. I thought last nights show was ok but not as good as the last few weeks.

The previews for the second half starting in February seemed to show that they are moving things in a different direction.

shardian · « **Reply #107 on:** December 18, 2008, 07:49:33 am »

Okay no spoilers or anything, but about the fall finale......WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the show and all, but it's like the writers are trying to intentionally run off casual viewers. Its approaching a LOST level of confusion and bloat. Sorry, but you can't grow your audience by airing shows that don't make sense to even dedicated viewers.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #108 on:** December 20, 2008, 08:23:33 pm »

When it first started last year, I blamed some of the poor episodes on the writers strike.

hyiu · « **Reply #109 on:** December 22, 2008, 08:56:52 am »

just saw it online.... what a let down also ?!?!

quite disappointed with this finale....

AtomSmasher · « **Reply #110 on:** February 15, 2009, 01:16:30 pm »

Looks like the latest episode tanked in the ratings, along with the premier of DollHouse

Hoopz · « **Reply #111 on:** February 15, 2009, 01:51:50 pm »

Friday night means it's on it's last legs before they pull the plug. Hopefully, they don't though. I thought the last few episodes before the hiatus were the best of the season. Friday's was ok but not great.

DVRd Dollhouse. Haven't taken time to watch it though. Anyone?

SNAAKE · « **Reply #112 on:** February 22, 2009, 03:51:24 pm »

i cant believe house took the monday slot. that show is retarded..EVERY TIME ITS THE SAME LAME BS. terminator isnt gonna last with the friday time slot.

AtomSmasher · « **Reply #113 on:** February 22, 2009, 04:53:12 pm »

I was hoping they would get some of Battlestar Galacticas viewers since that is also on Friday night, but it doesn't look like thats happening.

Dollhouse seems like it could be a good show. They've laid some good groundwork and now it's just a matter of seeing where they take it.

shardian · « **Reply #114 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:29:32 am »

I wish Fox would have went ahead and told the terminator writers they won't be getting renewed. That way we could at least get some nagging storylines wrapped up.

Oh, and the last episode made no f'ing sense whatsoever at the end.

I don't like that House almost always has Dr House have his sudden fit of inspiration because of something that his friend says. That drives me crazy.

This last episode was good though...kid was sick because the doctors MADE him sick.

I will say I love Terminator, and will miss it quite a bit.

I think the problem with the movie is that everyone expects it to be an action movie, every episode. You just can't do that with TV.

I have never watched Heroes so I'll take your word for it. I pretty much only watch NFL on the major networks other than this show. If the next episode isn't better I'll cancel it from my Tivo whether Fox cancels it or not.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #119 on:** February 27, 2009, 06:10:05 pm »

This show needs to finish a plot line before starting another.
Example: They havent tied up whats going on with reese's girlfriend and the blond and they throw a new robot ship (?) on us in last weeks episode.
And what about the Summer Bot turning evil? I didnt see a closure to that line, maybe I missed it?
Also, whats up with the red headed terminator and the John Henry one?
Come on writers, finish what you started before jumping into another twist!

I still like the show, and I will watch it tonight, but it wont surprise me if they cancel it any day now.
