No use moaning about comparisons to the movie. For a change this stands alone and is a great night's entertainment!

An' he decides who to free and who to blame.

Everybody won't be treated all the same.

There'll be a golden ladder reaching down.

WHEN THE MAN COMES AROUND.

T:SCC is one of those rare shows where the hour it plays disapears in what feels like 20 minutes. And im always left eager for the next episode... and I've yet to be disapointed with the direction it's gone.

if only Terminator 3 had of at least tried to be half as good as this show is.

all this said and done, I would HATE for this show to be cancelled in favour of a new film. This show IS Terminator!!

I loathe the Terminator franchise after the original.

Mainly because Arnold just HAD to return as a hero. HAD to remake his character.

Fucking asshole!

Chuck Norris wanted to do the same thing with his bad guy in Return of the Dragon. He wanted to live through the Bruce Lee ass-whopping and fight injustice in a sequel.

Goddamned hollywood egos get the best of them.

look, here's the thing. You're fucking crazy.

Terminator 1 is a cheesy aged piece of nostalgia with a rediculous lack of understanding of time travel dynamics

T2 is an updated, possibly classiest, action film ever created... topped only by it's extended version. it has the same soul as 'Aliens' within it.

T3 was absolute rubbish from start to finish. granted it had a wild closing .... but Arnie just wasn't believable as a menacing robot. and the story (story??) was what you'd expect from some half arsed television spin off....

which is funny because here is a televison spin off and it's the worthy successor to the concrete foundation T1 and T3 laid down.

that said, when my brother struggled to try and figure out "how do you give life to liquid metal??" i simple smack him over the head and say "Dude, it's a fucking movie!!"

why am i here, you all think X3 is shit and X2 is the pinicle of superhero films. bunch of wankers.

And of course, an R rating would mean blood n guts.

And I think T1 and T2 are about equal, but for differing reasons. T3 was a bit weak. The series, however, is pretty fucking cool. My only problem with the series is the Fox primetime show tendency to have the music SWELL before a commercial break, and have some "mini-cliffhanger" before the ads. I hate that shit. I really wish we had some uninterrupted television shows like in the U.K.-- I'll take my adverts in between shows, thanks.

It rocked. Get over it, haters.

There is a developing mystery about Cameron, as well, that is intriguing, and while the role is kinda flat for Summer Glau, I think it is great to see her, and great to see her not weeping and whimpering. She was good during her short arc in The Unit.

Hollywood seems hell bent on portraying teenage boys as unlikeable assholes, and they are hitting that stereotype a bit too hard in this series, too.

An FBI agent as a "believer" is also an interesting twist, and the actor is very good.

But Lena is The Reason To Watch

Of course this is just opinion, but, while I enjoy all three movies, I think the second is clearly the best in many ways, including the best as a movie: the cinematography and set design and lighting and all that stuff is phenomenal. That steel plant scene is a great example, where the movie's two color schemes of harsh metallic blues and vivid burning reds are brought together side by side--just beautiful. This is my main argument with the third movie--it's an entertaining sci-fi/action movie, but it doesn't have that artistic attention to detail that Cameron brings.

T2 is one of the most awesome sci-fi action flicks ever to appear on the big screen. Period.

Annoying kids badmouthing Cameron's masterpiece kinda piss me off. Take your heads outta your asses, kids!

Starting out, Sarah Connor Chronicles seemed slightly weaker while Bionic Woman appeared to have all the advantages (esp all the Galactica connections).

But by the end of its run, Sarah Connor Chronicles had developed into a decent addendum to the Terminator films, while Bionic Woman just kind of flops around trying to figure out what it is. I know there was a lot of rejigging of Bionic Woman but it's impressive how they never spent any time trying to fix the basic air of implausibility. The David Eick-scripted episode was best (because funniest) and then it all kinda went downhill from there fairly steeply.

Also, I've got to agree with newc0253 on Bionic Woman. Promising start, but it just gets worse with each passing week. That one is in dire need of a better sense of direction. Very little seems to be at stake, and too many of the supporting cast are bland. You've got Miguel Ferrer, for God's sake, make better use of him. And bring back Katee Sackhoff!

If they can tighten up the writing for next season, I'll enjoy it a lot more.

No, you probably don't want that. We only get it on BBC 1, 2, 3 and 4, All are "free to air" but the latter 2 are only available if you go digital. We pay a licence fee of (correct me if I am wrong here, I pay by DD) about £130 ($260?)a year for the pleasure. Even if you don't WANT to watch BBC, you still pay the fee if you have receiving equipment. Whenever you buy a TV, digiBox or for some strange reason a DVD player you have to fill a form in with your details before they sell you it. They then HOUND you to confirm you have a TV licence. They don't cross ref with their address database, oh no, they just check if there is one under your name. Oh, and you also have to allow an inspector access to your home if you don't have a TV licence, to check if you have a TV. The BBC is a fucking rip off and the sooner they privatise it the better.

We also have add free movies on Sky TV. Sky TV is really expensive at around £40-45 a month for the top package without HD or timeshifting/recording facilities. All other channels carry commercials, even on subscription channels. You pay around £15 for movies on top of whatever package you already have. Which always includes shit like The God Channel which you HAVE to take.

We Also have next to nothing in the way of HD channels. I believe we have around 4 ish at the minute and you can only get them by buying a SkyHD box for £300 (last time I checked) and paying an extra £10 a month on top of your other subscriptions. Give me the American system any day. Oh, and 99% of our programming is either American or SHITE. Most of the time it is both of those things.
