Yes BAG is in this now. I like how their group is slowly expanding. Seems like that paramedic ex is helping them now too.

I like it too. It was obvious that O'Reily would hook back up with the team. I liked how they handled that.

I really like the FBI guy. He's always entertaining.

BrianD · 02-12-2008, 10:27 AM

I finally caught up on the first four episodes last night, and the show seems pretty decent. Some of the initial inconsistencies that most people have mentioned already do seem a little bothersome, but I think things will even out once the show gets rolling. The shadow war is an interesting addition and is really the only way this story can exist in a TV format. Having John running away from Terminators every week would get pretty stale.

Some day I'd love to see Summer Glau get a chance to act like a real person. I'd be interested to see if she can do it.

DaddyTorgo · 02-12-2008, 10:46 AM

the FBI guy is supposed to get involved with them eventually too, right? i mean like..."join" them or whatever...

i liked the scene with BAG in the jail last night. thought that was pretty "oh man!" cool. And liked his whole "I got a T-triple-8 after me...get out of here now!" thing

Please be assured that I am VERY familiar with the rules of time travel as explained by Kyle Reese in the first movie. When Cromartie’s head goes through the time bubble, THERE IS FLESH ON IT. If you can’t see it, that’s because a) it’s burning off very quickly and b) certain people don’t like it when we show burning flesh, cyborg or not.

(Historical note: The first person to ask me this head/bubble question was Jared in Props--a year ago while we were shooting the pilot.)

Well I'm glad he's familiar with the rules of time travel.

gottimd · 02-12-2008, 01:13 PM

I don't understand why the terminators, being machines and all, just don't build a delorean and go 88 MPH?

betcha the real FBI-guy finds out the Terminator (why does it have a human name?) has assumed his identity at some point and confronts him and almost dies and Sarah and the chick-terminator save his ass.

Why does the terminator have a human name? I don't think he does. His "mo" appears to be (1) assume a human identity, (2) try to kill John Connor.

I think he used the name "Mr. Cromartie" in that first scene and Cameron (also assuming a human identity) picked up on that and referred to him as that.

I suppose it's also easier than saying "That T-triple 8 who travelled with us from the past and pretended to be that teacher and kill John" every time they try to talk about him.

what do you mean a human name? The identity it stole? This is the T-888 right?

MikeVic · 02-12-2008, 04:41 PM

Oh yeah, one line I actually laughed at from last night...

"I call shotgun. I call 9mm."

If I remember discussions right, originally, they only sent one because they were about to lose the war, it was a sort of a desperation thing where they didn't have time to send more.

Since then, I don't think it's been justified. It never came up in T2 (nor did the question of how something that was "liquid metal" could go through, but I digress).

I like the flashback (flashforward?) to BAG first being time-travelled.

Yeah I thought it was going to be Summer Glau doing stuff but she was already with them at that point. I don't get why he's so freaked out by her. She saved his life. All she really said was "some of them go bad, we don't know why."

I wonder why she took that brain cell thing too.

So Kyle Reese didn't die in the factory thing, right? I guess he was time-travelled there and then died in the past in T1?

at first, the way my wife and I thought it, we thought she was grieving. Remember they terminated that T-888 right after that kid jumped off the building and there had been some talks about grieving and writing a note and all. Now, what she wants to ultimately do with that brain cell, I have no idea...

Right. I think that "factory thing" was actually the time travelling device. Connor, Kyle Reese, and others fought their way in. Kyle and Connor made it inside, Kyle was sent back in time, Connor came out.

Why this was considered such a big secret, I don't know.

I'm a huge fan of the films (I even found the 3rd one surprisingly entertaining). I've watched all of the episodes so far.

Still, i would say I could stop watching this show right now and not really care what happens. Even blowing through commercials on the DVR, this show is barely holding my interest.

And I thought this past episode was the weakest yet, though I've talked to a fair number of people who seemed to like it most.

he's freaked out by her because i suspect we'll find out more at some point from a future-flash that she plays a role in something eventually (maybe he suspects her in the death of someone he loves or something like that).

as for why she took the brain cell thing - nothing good can come from that, and i suspect BAG knows that from the future.

+1

I will keep watching it because I like a lot of the people involved and I think the show has tremendous potential, but my interest has been fading.

Honolulu_Blue · 02-27-2008, 11:03 AM

I finally caught the most recent episode this morning.

I loved it. Definitely the best episode of the season. Cameron walking away as those Russian gangsters stormed in to kill those two was brilliant.

I really enjoyed what they did with the doctor. The fact that they keep referring back to the first two movies is great. I mean, by all accounts, those were the two most important events in their lives and it makes sense the ramifications would continue.

I am looking forward to the season finale. I do hope, but am not hopeful, that it wont be the last. episode. ever.

rowech · 02-27-2008, 02:21 PM

Supposedly this is the #1 downloaded show right now. Hopefully, Fox will see that and realize the show should stick.

Mr. Wednesday · 02-29-2008, 01:18 AM

I thought looking in on the effects of the breakout fight on Dr. Silberman was an inspired story choice.

As far as Cameron goes, I think we're meant to be uncertain about her precise motives. Derek's flashback to the bit about them going bad (implication, it might happen to her too), keeping the CPU from the 888 that was after Derek, ...

DaddyTorgo · 03-04-2008, 11:09 AM

enjoyed the show last night - thought the "raid" at the end was a bit anticlimactic for sure though.

let's hope it's not pulled now, hmm?

cameron at the prom would be a great comedic-type episode for next season

stevew · 03-04-2008, 11:17 AM

definitely didn't seem like a season finale type episode, I'm assuming they ran out of shootable scripts and tacked that bit on the end on.

Hopefully it can come back in some form next season, I'd be happy with 13 episodes. We don't necessarily need 22 per season from every show.

cthomer5000 · 03-04-2008, 11:20 AM

After watching the strange, awkward season finale, I'm just going to quote myself from earlier in the thread:

I saw the whole season, and I think I can easily say that I have never felt more neutral towards a show. It wasn't good, but didn't feel like a total waste of time. It neither added nor detracted from the Terminator legacy. I won't care whether it is or isn't renewed.

rjolley · 03-04-2008, 12:10 PM

Did anyone else notice the edits of the commercial breaks was odd? Like, when Cameron took care of the guy at the museum...did they actually show it, or just allude to it?

I finally watched the season finale this morning.

I still like this show. I like that it attempts to be more than it actually is. It has a been of artistry to it. I thought the scene with the FBI raiding the Terminator's apartment with the Johnn Cash song was simply brilliant. It was a great use of music - which tied in well with the ealier theme - and was excellently shot. It was every bit effective a John Woo type slow-mo shootout. I loved it.

I also that B.A.G.'s move when he shot that guy in the head was completely bad ass. I totally didn't it see it coming.

This is not the greatest show on the planet. It occasionally raises above, but never for an entire episode. There are flashes of brilliance surrounded by a sea of... meh. Still, that makes it better than 90% of the TV alternatives. I enjoyed the shows more than the second season of "Heroes" and a lot more than the last two seasons of "24". I stopped watching "24" after the mid-way point of last season it was so laughibly, god awful horrible.

I hope they renew it. I think the show has some potential and has some talented people working on it.
