Default Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho

While it was not as bad as I feared, I can't say I was terribly impressed with it. I think the worst aspects of it was any scene with John, which ranged from stupid (scene in the computer store) to lame (scene with him recording his voicemail greeting) to WTF? (scene with him breaking into his mother's old boyfriend house and then assaulting him).

I'd also second Aegisx's thoughts that they will probably introduce a romance plot with the feminator and John, and if you've watched Futurama you know the dangers of dating robots.

In the end I guess I still don't understand why this was greenlit in the first place. The Terminator universe isn't exactly ripe with fascinating mythology to draw from, and how you can keep up a continuing action drama about it is beyond me. And really, since the future keeps sending robots back in time that means nothing changes, so isn't the show based on just spinning the wheels endlessly?

Oh well, who wants to start betting on how long it even manages to last before it gets replaced by a reality show?
