Wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. In fact, some bits were pretty damn good.

Anyone else catch it?

My mate showed me the first episode the other week, it wasn't bad at all.

May watch more on some streaming site.

Forgot this was on - I acquired the leaked copy of the pilot, and some parts had been changed in the pilot that was aired tonight - either way I thought it was quite enjoyable, but not brilliant - the US is on Episode 6 now - I have managed to acquire all 6, and it gets better.

I saw a trailer for it, and the minute I heard that terribly weak, and now hackneyed delivery of "Come with me if you want to live" I vowed to never watch it.

Nah, they've got River Tam from Firefly as the protective Terminator.

It's a bit loose with the canon tongue

D'oh! I meant to catch this, but missed the first episode! rolling_eyes
I caught the ads for it though, was slightly dubious about Summer Glau playing a terminator, she doesn't have that monotonous voice that's synominous with their human-ending selves, or did the episode prove that wrong?

I've gotten all the episodes aired so far, and yes, it just keeps getting better with some good twists.

And when Brian Austin Green joins... damn so the show get twisted! In a good way of course.


Imagine the scene in T2 where she sees the Terminator and backpedels? Okay, that is still more awesome, but this show is so far just right there underneath it in the awesomeness factor.




And Spike, you now how I kept ribbing BSG about how it beats you over the head with the "are we alive" stuff, well, this show does it right, so far at least. They give you just enough. grin

To quote one of my fav online comics, Darths and Droids:

"In the universe the players inhabit, Star Wars does not exist. That's the premise of this entire comic, after all. But most of the other things we know and love (such as Mad Max) do, albeit modified by the lack of Star Wars:


  • Spaceballs is a serious documentary about the practical applications of Buckminsterfullerene.


  • Mark Hamill is known (barely) for doing voiceovers for poorly selling computer games, but gains widespread fame after his appearance in the first Futurama movie.


  • Harrison Ford is known primarily for Indiana Jones.


  • Nerdy guys make YouTube videos of themselves wielding crossbows instead of lightsabres.


  • Without the success of Star Wars to spark interest in science fiction in the late 70s and early 80s, Star Trek was never revived with movies and new series, and remains an obscure short-running TV show.


  • Moonraker was never made. James Bond fans never had it so good.


  • The major science fiction background that pervades all of Western culture is Battlestar Galactica, despite it never being much good. It was remade recently as a new, updated television series with a bigger budget, high-tech computerised special effects, and edgy writing. And it sucked.


  • Throughout the 80s and 90s, all the greatest Hollywood blockbusters were big-budget family-oriented musicals.
  • "

    I liked the first episode and I reckon I'm gonna stick with it. Despite not even being a Terminator fan.

    It was repeated tonight at 10pm, which doesn't really help you now but with the amount of billing Virgin have done for it I'm sure it will be repeated again this week.

    I was very sceptical of this series (and still am) but this opener was pretty good and in many ways much more successful then T3.
    I felt Summer Glau did well and I'm sure there's much to be revealed about her character which I hope will be interesting.

    Will defo try to keep up with the series unless it starts getting bad.

    I'm telling ya, this series so-far rules. grin

    If anyone wants spoilers, just pm me. We "aquire" new episodes after they air in the US under the Country of Origin Rule.
