    Not really. Patrick Stewart showed up in the premiere episode of "Deep Space Nine" and didn't overshadow that show. Christopher Lambert appeared in the first episode of "Highlander: The Series" and didn't overshadow that show. Hell, Cobie Smulders just appeared in the first episode of this show and didn't overshadow it. If, or when Jackson appears, I'd wager it'll be when the mystery of Tahiti is revealed.

    Lookalike?

    I don't see it.

    I think the more likely cameos would be Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, Jenny Agutter and Garry Shandling. Barring any possible deaths that the last two may or may not have in "The Winter Soldier".

    Not in the slightest. Especially when Fury gives Tony his father's things from back when "S.H.I.E.L.D." was formed.

    Exactly, I just didn't get why others were saying that.

    Think about it: she's a tomboyish yet friendly girl who's also a member of a terrorist group. That's Eliza Dushku's character in Dollhouse. She even looks like her.

    I didn't like the character then and I still don't like it now. Best part I thought was Agent Coulson, everyone else was annoying.

    I don't really see too many parallels between Echo (Eliza's Dollhouse character) and Skye (though to wit, it's been awhile since I've done a full - fledged Dollhouse rewatch, and I'd forgotten about the enviromental terrorist connection), but I do see a slight physical resemblance between Chloe Bennent and Dushku.

    It was out of my hands, Juliet. It was specifically requested!

    She DID go without reimbursement, AND got no explanation. It was only after Thor destroys the fire robot and then makes a DEAL with Coulson that she got anything back. Had Thor not returned to Jane, she would have been stranded with nothing and no explanation. Her life's work stolen, and with that all gone her funding would have almost certainly dried up and her life would have been ruined. Only Thor's return saved her neck and brought her into SHIELD's good graces.

    I'm angry at Dollhouse because it was that show's fault that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was canceled :(

    I'm sure both shows were terrible on their own merits.

    Terminator had lena headey which automatically made it awesome.

    Both of those shows were just plain terrible, borderline unwatchable.

    Terminator (minus the pilot) was one of the best action shows on TV in the last 15 years.

    Don't blame Dollhouse- it was Fox moving a ratings success to the Friday Death Slot that killed TSCC.

    TSCC sucked because it outderped T3 with ****ing with the canon. I didn't think such a thing was possible.

    Still don't see the physical resemblance. Beyond that, Rising Tide wasn't really a terrorist group. It was one woman who was acting like a conspiracy theorist. Skye had nothing to do with the bombing.

    I take it you haven't seen "Highlander".

    If that fist sentence translates as "It ignored the Why-Did-They-Make-This-T3 and instead made a proper sequel to T2", then that would be one of the many reasons why the show was outstanding.

    Sadly, I'm one of the few that actually enjoyed T3.

    T3 isn't without it's moments, but there's a reason almost every Terminator reboot in other media ignores it ;). TSCC managed to nail the character drama, horror and most of the action far better than either T3 or T4.
