    The role summer glau plays is the one that has me laughing every time she talks. It's funny how serious she plays the role, if I was saying some of the things she had to say I couldn't help myself but burst out laughing.

    Anyone see next weeks preview? John goes "I call shotgun" to get the front seat, Cameron(Glau) instantly responds back "I call 9 millimeter!"...

    ...and prior to that she accuses Sarah of being "inefficient" when killing when she had her put the guy in the minefield..I mean seriously, in context it's hilarious....she's a killing machine but dumb as bricks.

    Ah, but that's the beauty of the performance (her physical beauty notwithstanding). Idioms we take for granted, in reality, make no sense whatsoever. Her responses, in an alien way, makes perfect sense.

    Frankly, I think it's very well done.

    Mom is over the top and annoying, but I'm watching it in spite of her character, not because of it.

    Need to call it "The Terminatrix Chronicles". ;)

    Couldn't agree more, I laugh every time she says something like that. It's awesome. All her responses are alien, she doesn't think or feel at all......just the woman i wanna meet....:p

    Which is why I wish they didn't make her act so NORMAL in the first episode, because it makes all of this now a little hard to swallow.

    Last night's episode, Sarah Connor had a good moment of kicking **** when she disarmed that guy with an elbow to the mouth.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I agree. In the first episode she pulled off normal just fine.

    You wanna meet a woman that doesn't think or feel? Awesome.....emotions are for the birds....if a girl told me she'll take 9 millimeter after I call the front seat shotgun she's definitely a keeper.

    So far I like it. For TV, the effects a very good. The show is not as cheesy as I expected it to be from seeing the previews. I've watched all the episodes so far and will continue to DVR them. This is MUCH,MUCH better than "Bionic Woman".

    Well maybe it's cause i'm getting old but i think Sara is waayyy hotter than the female bot. The only reason i'd kick her out of bed would be to $^&# her on the floor.

    Decent episode last night. Series seems to be ratcheting up the drama nicely.

    Since I don't have a TV I'm catching it on Fox's website. I'll probably watch to tomorrow: two problem sets due tomorrow that I have to do tonight :(

    I like the jump into the future in this ep. Adds a nice little extra (even though the CGI leaves a bit to be desired, but it's TV, you can't expect too much.)

    Just saw the latest online. This is turning out to be a really good show. Is it my imagination or is Sarah getting better?

    Not your imagination, she's getting more of that ruthless edge to her.

    I only watched the least two episodes. I yawned a lot through both of them. Lena Headey is OK, but only the girl robot is interesting enough to watch.

    So was this show good enough to be granted a second season?

    I didn't think it had been doing well in the ratings...

    And yes, pretty blah for a 2-hour season finale.

    I dig this show. That robot chick has a smokin body and the story is pretty good. This is much better than American Idol or some other highly ranked show IMO>
