I have very very LOW expectations for this.
I have very very LOW expectations for this.
For me I'll enjoy this either way as I've got a real thing for the girls from Firefly/Serenity. I just love them in a scary stalker sorta way.
I've even kitted out a 'holding pit' for Kaylee when she guest stars at Supanova and I abduct her.![]()
^^ I'll give you that mate, i dug Firefly.
My real issue is being a soldier and watching very unrealistic stuff like chicks carrying guns and being "Hardcore" is very tough to swallow.

Don't get me wrong i am not sexist but i do that shit for a living.
Totally mate. Annoys me as a basketball ref/coach of primary school girls when they say girls and boys are 'equal' so they have them compete together when anybody with two eyes can see that the boys are just naturally stronger, faster and more aggressive from a very young age. Millions of years of evolution denied because of political correctness.
Just out of curiosity though....
Have you ever come across any of the Israeli girls before?
Not from experience but from hearsay I've heard some of those IDF chicks can be pretty hardcore.
Summer Glau is cute~![]()
Gosh, I really hope they don't ruin this. I thought the rumor was (before Arnie become Governator) that there was going to be a 3rd (which we saw released) and a 4th movie in the Terminator series? I'm guessing, with Arnies now Political career he has declined the offer for the 4th movie and instead they've tried to keep it going with a TV series? In any case, I'm sure they will try and milk the tv series to the end (like the BLADE series, even though that doesn't look half as good as this I will admit)
Any purists know what really happen? Cause as a Terminator fan I'd like tom know...
I um already saw the pilot... while I wont give spoilers, I will tell you my opinon.
While it was nice to see Summer Glau on the screen again, it didn't really do that much for me, there's no way smallscreen action can compete with bigscreen action. They need to develop a unique and interesting plot within the limits of the Terminator universe to get my interest. Th first ep was to much of a rehash of the old, relying on the Terminator name to get peoples interest. Still early days.
they should use the original sarah connor, she is still hot, i saw her in that Nazi christmas movie not long ago, shes still fertile
SPOILERS:
I just watched it. It was much better than I expected (had low expectations) and it seems to completly ignore T3 which is not necessarily a bad thing.
As mentioned, it continues from T2 and although River's behaviour was almost identical to that of the T-101 in T2 down to the same lines! I thought that the plot was interesting enough and true enough to Terminator concepts for me to enjoy it.
Although much of it was bordering a bit on the fantastic such as the time displacement device, I thought that the way it was brought up was very clever.
I very much enjoyed this first episode but I dont see how they can make a full series out of these events without having it become very repetitive down the line. This probably would have worked better as a miniseries but I am not sure about a full series.
Things that I don't like however is the actress chosen for Sarah Connor. She doesn't have the same style in both look and behavior as Linda Hamilton in the Terminator movies and seems more 'normal' or down to Earth than the original portrayal of Sarah Connor which kind of makes her seem like a completely new character.
River was cool like always but having a 'Small Wonder' type Terminator felt kind of strange but not forced for the sake of ratings in the same way as that chick was in T3.
I hope the series succeeds however as I enjoyed this much more than I did T3.
Edit: Fixed god awful Spelling errors.
