^ Yeah, I guess you're right about alot of that..... The show did have alot of rather cheesy parts in it, and most likely tonight's episode will, as well. We'll just see how it goes. If nothing else, it could at least be halfway entertaining until "24" finally starts up again, lol.



I actually liked the 2nd half better than the first. It still has 3 problems.
the acting was better, the story was smoother, the t-800 for the most part didnt act like a dork, he was more beliveable. the cameron terminator acted more like a terminator. Sarah conner was clever, more active. All in all better. that being said,..1) the t800 following them thru the time displacement field as a metal endoskeleton was straight bullshit..especially when about 3 min earlier the term reminded them that no weapons or dead items can come thru time, they had to be built in the present....so the show disproves one of the areas where it is most true to the trilogy..within 3 minutes..utterly stupid.

2) the head being blown clean off the terminator, and ( i knew it was going to happen, i was lierally saying" what, the skull lit up....don't tell me...watch I bet the body is going to come alive in the landfill.." and just as i said it, thats what happened. then the endo steals the trash mans head and walks thru the streets of la looking for its head..with a cadaver head and motorcycle helmet on. Then when he finds the head, the lights on the head aren't even on as they were before..just unfeasible campy nonsense. It was bad enough in t3 when tx just kick arnolds head off and he puts it on like nothing happened..when it clearly broke.....but here, the head was blown completely off.....
I was hoping for a crude beacon to rise from the endos shoulder, with a drude crt and a default subroutine and a tracker to locate the main cpu..something to make this not something pulled out of ur ass..but no..it was just campy cheesy bullshit.

3)when the t-800 sees that cameron is an unknown terminator and for that reason alone, the decides to evade... a fucking terminator illogically decides to run away! What happened to "it doesn't feel ......or fear, and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!" Now the terminators are running away from the unknown...fucking stupid. he at least should have entered the bldg looking for john and hid waiting for sarah and cameron to leave and then pursued...
I tried to reason it out, like cameron being upset about the tinman comments...that was stupid, but i chaked that down to emulating human reactions.. between those stupid things, though i was getting into it. the music was better than t3 and was a remix of t1 future bunker music...
