Anyone interested in this? Looks like it could go either way.. either be halfway decent.. or total cheese factor. I hope for the first though.
PolkFest 2012, who's going>?

    I'm guessing it will be awful. IMO they need to keep moving forward with the story.

    Could be interesting, we'll see. I'm glad to see Summer Glau again, she was good in Firefly/Serenity.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Not interested. T1 and T2 did the job for me.

    WTH is there to chronicle? She either spent time in a psych ward, or on the run, to in the end die of breast cancer!

    I don't want to watch any of that!

    It'll die a quick death, I do believe.

    T1 and T2 ? Fast-paced, great story line, awesome.

    T3 ? I'm on the roof with the deer rifle, shooting at the neighbors, I'm so pissed off.

    Like Cfrizz said, what the heck is there to Chronicle ?

    ...unless it's how Sarah likes to take bubble baths. Yeah, lots of scenes with bubble baths.

    She dyed her hair black to change her appearance. On the uncut unrated DVD, we may get to see if she is a natural blonde...with any luck. ;)

    Nothing special, although I never was a huge fan of the Terminator movies. On the other hand Comanche Moon seemed pretty good, good enough to be put on the DVR schedule at least for now.

    Never saw T1 or T2 but did watch last night - it was ok. It will likely get "tired" quickly. The surround mix was NOT good. I'll watch again tonight and Prison Break for sure! (And Jericho and Lost and 24) But that's it!

    Yeah, wasn't great but decent. I'll definitely give it a few weeks to see how it goes.

    Kinda required an awful lot of knowledge of the Terminator "universe", and I haven't seen the movies in years.

    It's ok except for a few things. I'm going to watch tonight before passing full judgement, still....

    Some stupid parts like the classroom scene with the Terminator Teacher. The future leader of the resistance is within grasp, so let's take a moment to say "class dismissed." Why hide the gun in your leg. Just hide it in your coat pocket. Why bother to sit and do roll call. How about walk around, call out names, then walk over and snap his neck when he answers.

    I guess Skynet expanded their model line of Terminators since we last saw. We have the "Dorky Dude" and "Cute Schoolgirl" models. The girly terminator did have a nice butt though, so good on Skynet for a nice design.

    I guess the phrase "Come with me if you want to live" is part of the standard Terminator Language Pack install. Although, it did start with Kyle Reese in the first one.

    I'll give it a shot tonight though...

    Big wussy **** series, with Terminators that cant shoot worth a ****.

    And I dont know if you all rememebr the comercials, but Sarah says, in the comercial " you get the guns and I'll get the pancakes", but in the series she says something totally different "you put the guns in the bag and I'll go make some pancakes". The first way was much cooler and funnier.

    They send a little 16 year old girl Terminatress, to protect him??? Come on, give me a break!!!! I sure hope they explain that one in upcoming epesodes.

    Then it takes 20 minutes for the non aiming, cant shoot a gun, school teacher to break through a bank door? Swartz, would have blasted that down with 1 or 2 hits.

    And since this supposed to be after she gets out of rehab, (they told me to go to rehab and I said no no no), isnt the Terminators that new metal camilian, instead of the old style Swartz terminators?

    Well, at the end of T2, they supposedly changed the future, so things happened differently. SO I can imagine (for now) that the terminators are now different models, and the melty type wasn't ever invented. Maybe?

    Also, who cares what the robot girl LOOKS like? Robots don't need to look like Arnold to be strong as Arnold, why not make them cute instead?

    Seriously, I think the reasoning was that they were using the girl to get close to John without him suspecting she was there to protect him, but it went bad fast.

    Couldn't bring myself to watch it; it just looked too corny for my taste.

    I loooved the original Terminator. It was so dark and gloomy; very cool. The second was digestable, and the 3rd was atrocious.

    Honestly, I'd rather go see the new Rambo than watch this; and I could about guarantee that movie is going to blow.

    the first one was good, although a bit slow, i never just give the pilot episode my first impression, gotta watch a few to see if i get into it. I wish they had John in college, so that girl was a college student so I could comment on her...but she's in high school and that's 15-20.

    In real life she's 26. She was River on Firefly, if you ever watched that.
