Lena Heady is obviously part eye-candy for the show. And so is summer Glau. But they both had resumes. ("300" and "Firefly"), so the producer got good looking ladies who can act in sci-fi/fantasy. The show isn't the expensive action fest that T2 was, but it explores the same theme. Comments made about the "skinny" girl not working out as a protector are not aware of sci-fi possibilities. You can have an attractive female form as a terminator. Remember (if you weren't spoiled) how the T-1000 seemed to be the weak slender guy yet he outfought the T-800 physically. It's about the technology. The terminators are basically infiltrators and impersonators. They can be any voice , yet generate enough dynes to break of limbs of the fragile human body. Dekker looks more like Nick Stahl than Furlong but has closer to Furlong's haircut in the beginning.

I dissagree completely with your review. I loved the pilot but in my opinion Sarah was all wrong. She was too emotional and her little cheezy speaches and thoughts annoyed me. Sarah Connor is a lot more butch in the films and wouldn't go on like that. I thought Thomas Dekker was utterly perfect as John Connor, (you have to remember this is set only two years after T2 and he's only 15 so naturally he's not going to be anything like a leader yet). He may know how to use firearms but he doesn't want to use them. He's trying to enjoy his teen years in the pilot. I'm sure as the series progresses we will see him take charge in a lot of situations. Summer Glao recked my head. The whole skinny teenage girl robot thing is sooo stupid. My brother actually said "oh come on, thats crap!" when she opened the truck door and said "come with me if you want to live" it was such a joke. I'd rather a big scary male protector then a teen girl. If John gets a crsh on Cameron i will vomit! I'd like to hear your response to my comment so please email me when you get the chance.

John Conner is a woosssssss in this show. If I had the trainging in combat that he supposedly had after T2 I would kick any body's arse. Come on writers, get it together or you're going to wish there was still a strike! Please don't dis-appoint us fans.....

I have yet to watch the show and T2 was amazing and stunning, but when I saw even the commercials for the show I was a little diappointed. For one thing, John doesn't look like some one who has gone through all that John Connor went through in T2. He looks too pretty, and Sarah Connor's hair is like black, nothing like the hair Sarah Connor had in T2. The terminator chick sent back has too many emotions even though she is leaning and storing data on such emotions, she didn't cross terminator protector when I saw the previews because for one, she was talking to John adn I think similing. The lines uttered in the scenes were atrocious . When lady terminator tries to pull an "Come with me if you want to live" in a quavery shakey kind of voice, I wanted to hide in a corner. I don't know if this series will come out strong after so many episodes, I mean really, you can't just keep sending terminators back all the time, or else that would be as boring as hell.

This series is really good. I thought it was going to be based off the terminator movies, and it sort of was, but it also has a taste of originality.

remember skynet is on the brink of being defeated by the humans, so they are sending back what they have,...... assume the resistance is kicking their ass, and the humans have some control over Skynets operations and they are now able to manufacturer human friendly terminators or guardian models that protect and fight since it takes 18 years to produce and effective fighting human, why not have the guardian bots do the work??

Also I would like to respond about the comment made earlier... "None biological matter can't travel through the time gate." Actually a Terminator is a cybernetic organism. " It consists of living tissue over a metal endoskeleton. The metal endoskeleton is a microprocessor controlled fully armoured hyper-alloy combat chassis. This endoskeleton is constructed with frictionless bearings in its joints, and a servo-actuated control system. Its limbs are controlled by axial drive motors and clavicular trailing links. This allows the T-800 to manoeuvre faster than the T-600, as bursts of speed of up to 22 mph no longer threaten the joint assemblies. The living tissue, grown specially for the T-800â€™s, consists of flesh, skin, hair and blood, and is capable of limited regeneration over time. As this tissue is living it is warm to the touch and hence T-800's will not show up on thermal scanners as being any different from a real human".... Thats why they can pass through the time portal!!! And I must correct some of my previous points that I made... The Terminators that are used in these episodes areeeeeeeee infact the "T-850 series". The actual "obsolete" designs are the "T-600's" models. My bad, sorry...

One question I do ask myself, is that when they went through the portal, how did the T-101 model get sent back with them (the Terminator that's head got blown off)??????????? I understand the head going through because it was blown off and it flew forward, thus transporting itself with them to the year 2007. But how in the HELL did the Terminator body (without the head) get teleported through. It fell to the ground away from them and didnt move. And also how the hell did it end up in a garbage dump, or Junk Yard or whatever it was? It should have transported with them to the same location they were sent to.... just like the "head" was.... That is my only problem with the episodes, so far... but still I am anxiously awaiting the third episode and the other 6 episodes following.

You guys are ALL MISS-INFORMED! You must understand that you have to ignore the "Terminator 3" movie completley when watching this "new" series. And you guys all call your selves fans.... jeeze! This show isnt taking place between T2 and T3. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Its just taking place after T2. Try to imagine there is no T3. Anyways, good point about the Terminator that came back. It should have been more advanced then the T-1000. First off you must know that the "T-1000" was an "advanced proto-type. Secondly you all need to understand that in the future, its not Skynet that sent back the Terminators to protect John. It was the human resistance, specifically John Connor. They captured a Terminator and reprogrammed it and then sent it back through time to protect the "young John Connor", every time this happened in every movie (except for Terminator 1). And finally if you think that the T-1000 was a "bad @ss" Terminator, How in the hell do you expect the Human Resistance to capture one (or even a better model such as the T-X) in the Future and reprogram it... Its just not gonna happen! So in all actuality here, the good Terminator that was sent back...made perfect sense. Hey, lol, just be thankful they arent using the obsolete "T-800" Models... lol... And if you look at it from the side of the Evil Terminators that were sent back... Why would they send another Terminator that was more advanced then the T-1000? The T-1000 was again an "advanced proto-type"... so there was only ONE made, and that was destroyed. So they had to "scrap" that idea. Skynet probably thought it was cheaper in the end. BAHAHAHAHAH, just jokin... This show really is an excellent Idea. I think it will do great for 2008!

Best show I've seen in a long time. Acting is good I think, there's a certain 'intensity' around Lena Heady that really adds to her character well. I am curious of how this 'seperation' from the movies (the TV series is on a different timeline from the movies starting from the end of T2, for those who don't know) will work out. I think most people's problem is the fact that they're continually trying to compare the TV series to T2, which was a awesome movie and hard to top, so just because it may not be better doesn't make it bad. At any rate, I'll certainly be watching it for a while.

Watching this show was a bit interesting...but not that great. They did ruin the story between T2 and T3 I noticed. Also about the head making it through you see the head go forward after it gets blasted and goes toward the portal. But I do have to say the fight scenes between Glau and the Bad "T" are horrible. They should have done it after T3 that way we can see what happens after they get stuck down in that one place. I will watch the whole season but I am already dissapointed....I say Fox should pick up the people who did Surface so they can make their Second Season. Surface > this...NBC is lame for not letting Surface do a second season...

I found the entire show to be absurd, I quickly got tired of watching the same old fights and breaking of sheetrock and balsa wood. How far can you go with the show, how many new ways can you have the Terminators fight. The storyline is not strong enough and it will quickly go the wayof the Bionic Women.
They only have 9 shows made prior to the writers strike, and they blew the first two already, so 7 more shows before the Terminator disappears again. The actors in the show haVe been given permision to take on other projects, so how long before they could even film another episode? This is just a stop gap measure by the network to put something new on TV no matter what it is, at least it will generate interest in the new Terminator movie wth Christian Bale, Terminator Salvation.

back to July 24, 2004, Judgment Day. How in the world you are going to completely disregard the T3 movie? On top of that they supposibly came to 2007 after the jump, hello? Am i missing something? Whats wrong with that picture....? And also when they did the jump how did Terminators head got through with them? None biological matter can travel through the time gate.
In over all i liked the show but weak Sarah Connor and this really really enoying faulty plot with no continuity makes me not wanna watch the rest of the season.

I think terminator 2 is the best movie all the time.
