Members Funkee1 Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 Watched the premiere last night, and the second episode tonight (well, last night, now that it's Tuesday....) Meh......... It's not bad, but it's not great either. There seemed to be some moments where they veered too far away form the story of the two movies for me. Sometines they seemed to follow the same time line, and other times, it seemed to me that they had never seen the movies. Perhaps it was just me (spoiler alert), but the premiere took place in New Mexico, but then they did a time- jump (too long to explain), and ended up in Los Angeles. When Sarah asked the robot sent to protect her where they were, she said "Same where, different when" Huh? You were in Santa Fe a minute ago!!!!! Did I miss something???? Anyway, there are worse things to watch on Monday nights (like "Dance war:Bruno Vs Carrie Ann), but don't put too much stock in this one. It'll be gone by summer......

And to explain your time paradox...they were in Santa Fe, then they had to go and talk to Dyson's wife...so they went to LA. Then they did the whole time jump thing after that...so it was the same where...if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they did the whole time jump thing after that...so it was the same where...if that makes sense.Oh.....Ok.I guess I got confused cause they said "We need to talk to stop Skynet", then they were just AT dyson's house. I assumed they were still in NM. They didn't do the long drive montage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitargod0dmw Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 Oh.....Ok.I guess I got confused cause they said "We need to talk to stop Skynet", then they were just AT dyson's house. I assumed they were still in NM. They didn't do the long drive montage! Yeah, I think they just assumed that we knew they went to LA. I kinda missed that part as well, so I might be wrong...but since T2 takes place in LA, I assume that's where they went. Speaking of Terminator...I'm not sure how I feel about T4...Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. No Arnold? And it almost seems like it's going to move away from the other 3 movies. They are even talking about it being a 3 part series type of thing in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bholder Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 I saw the ads, was interested for a second or two. The actress doesn't have any of the attitude Linda Hamilton brought to the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably better than having an Arnold model sent back to protect and him having a thing for John Connor. I'm just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did watch it. Reminded me of The Fugitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that they'd cast her in another "cute little china doll death machine" role. She's a major disappointment. Not her fault...as a terminator, she has to portray that emotionless machine persona, and she does it so well it takes all the sex-appeal out. The unmoving eyes really ruin it for me.

Members MrJoshua Posted January 15, 2008 Members Share Posted January 15, 2008 I didn't watch the series because the third movie sucked so bad. What happened to the whole "there is no fate" theme from T2?!? Load of crap. And Summer Glau wasn't even the hottest woman on Firefly. The mechanic girl was.
