    Was that the T-1000 (bad guy in T2) in the previews for next week?
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    I really thought it was wicked when she flipped up her robe and pulled out those sawed off shotguns and blasted all of them! And then, when she took her gavel and hit.....um..wait a minute....

    Looks like a bad mix of 24 and Terminator.

    I watched last night and wanted to flush!

    When the headless Terminator busted out of the junkyard wreckage, killed the guy and put the dead guys head on his body....that signaled for the WHOOSHING sound to me.

    Whats up with the guy Terminator scanning the girly Terminator, determining she is an unknown type, then finally processing the order to retreat because she is an unknown type.

    Terminators DON'T RETREAT!

    In T2, Arnold's T-800 knew the T-1000 was way more advanced, yet still kept going after him.

    Stinky Stinky Poo Poo! Flush away.....

    I dug it. Then again, Summer Glau is a hottie. The acting of Sarah Connor is a bit too over-the-top for me though.

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

    +1 on this. I've kinda enjoyed it the last two nights, and I really don't watch a lot of TV. But I have to admit, I've spent the majority of my time attempting to explain the particulars to the people around me.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Should have been one two hour premier on Sunday. The first half dragged on with corny low budget action you need slick dialogue to propel it.
    I didn't catch part 2. Is that where it improved?

    Just watched them. Thanks for the link. I thought that they were pretty entertaining. I really like Summer although picturing her as a terminator capable of beating those beefier terminators is a bit of a challenge.

    My only really real problem with the show is that I know that they won't win.

    watched the first one because nothing else was on.

    after it ended I made my mind up to not watch another episode.

    I thought it $u(k3d.

    I can see why you thought so. It was cheesy TV and well....pretty much did suck but I enjoyed it anyway.

    Don't lie, you just enjoyed it because of Summer Glau!:p

    (that's OK, I did too...I think, haven't really decided if I like the show yet)

    I would say I would compare the show to Taco Bell. It's crappy food. I know it's crappy food. I enjoy it anyway.

    Are the after effects as bad?

    If they did the show as good as their promotional posters, it would be a huge hit!

    As much as I said it stunk, a hot chick with a handgun is about all it needs to draw my horndog **** back into watching it. I'm thinking John Connor is eyeing up the Girly Terminator and thinking the future ain't so bad looking afterall. With a little reprogramming....well....uhhh...you get the idea. :D

    Hey Wingy, what kind of heat you Miami Po Po's packin?

    They are issuing Beretta 9's now, I think. Some were grandfathered in with 40's and 45's but I have always had a S&W 9.

    The great thing is, John in the future sent the hot terminator to protect John in the past. So... maybe he put in some.... extra features....

    when John asked if she was "different" from other terminators she said "yes". He asked "different how"? She did not elaborate, so that (extra feature) was the first thought that went through my head. Maybe that is how cyborgs are invented. The pairing of man and machine?
