| Okay, so this is more like it. The Terminator did go back to the house and grabs Sarah, so the writers didn't cock that up (but they're writing Sarah and Cameron to be as stupid as shit). Johns run off to South America with his girlfriend, and they inadvertantly get arrested. They should have tried to stay incognito, but whatever.
Right now I'm up to the bit where they're telling Ellison's story, but they're not exactly explaining it too well. I mean, Ellison's reversing the car as the Terminator's shooting at them. At that distance (barely 20 feet at one point), even I could kill all three of them with a submachine gun. Right now, they're stopping while the Terminator is right on their tail... makes not a lick of sense, but at least they're sticking a heap of action in. Finally.
They haven't showed the weird T1000 Garbage chick yet, which I'm glad about it. As excited as I first was about that character, it doesn't do much for me now.
I like the style of this episode too. Separating the story the way they have has actually made it more interesting.
It's not perfection but it's a step in the right direction. | |

| Alright, this scene with the terminator in the church where they're all shooting at it is pretty good... except for the obvious bullshit factor that's involved... like how are these guns they've got doing so much damage to him...? It was never this easy to kill one of these mofos. And then they just bury him in a shallow grave? What the fuck man? What happened to Cameron using those chemical whatsies to burn the whole thing down...
Nah, let's just leave it all in the desert. | |

| It's getting easier and easier to kill a Terminator. They had to go through hell and high water to kill them in the movies. Now they get a good head shot in, it's all over. Though I think maybe they got some better guns now. I gonna miss this one. He was the first terminator with a lisp. It made for interesting conversation. Plus, and maybe this is wrong, but Sarah's been a real uppity ***** lately, so when he showed up and started throwing her around, I thought that was cool. Sure it was violence against women and all that, but uh.... well, I can't justify it, I just thought it was funny the terminator dragging her around like a raq doll after the 24/7 high and mighty gripe boxing she's been doing the last few months. | |

| Cameron implied she and John were an item in the future. That weirded me out a little. | |

| True, but she's hot. When she hopped on his bed the way she did this episode, it was a tad weird... I guess they can't hire a cutie actor to play the good terminator and expect it to all go along fine without any sexual tension coming up. Now they've gotta deal with it.
I hope they get a more tough looking baddie terminator next time around. This past dude was weak sauce. They need someone with a strong jaw and who is a tad buff.
Not like I need eye candy, I just need to be scared of the dude.
Hmm... I guess they're going up against the T1000 next. | |

| I'd go to Canada, where it's cold. The liquid metal chick would have a hard time making a urinal in the cold, let me tell you. They always go to Mexico. Yawn. Mexico is full of Terminators. Let me write this show, I'll send them to Canada. I'd have a Ice Road Trucker run over Red Head. That'll show her. | |

| It's true that they don't know too many areas beyond California and Mexico. You'd think if they really wanted to hide, they'd head off to - yeah, Canada. Or just off to Oklahoma. Like the Terminators would really look for them in Okie.
When the Terminator grabbed Sarah in this past episode, I was kind of cheering. Except I don't think he was rough enough with her. When he grabbed her by the leg and dragged her, that was pretty good though.
Except why did he keep her? He could use her voice, and he can't really use her as a hostage. I mean if John was close enough to see Sarah was being held captive, he'd probably be close enough for the Terminator to chase and shoot down dead.
This artificial intelligence isn't so intelligent. | |

| He was pretty stupid. I tell ya what I'd like to see. I'm tired of whiney boy teenager John Conner. I want to see him cowboy up, go all Jack Bauer and get rid of the self doubt and weener kid ideas. Become a team with him momma and start kicking some serious butt. I'd like for his mom to suggest something, he says no, grabs some ammo, starts shooting some terminators, then hijacks a bus, kills some more terminators, then sends his mom through time to get him some beer. Then when Uncle Rico starts making plans, just steal his good looking future chick, take her out on a date, show her a good time, roll a homemade cigarro, hunt down skynet and kick some chip. | |

| It is very odd that although the John Connor in Terminator 2 was a bad ass kid (a bit of a rebel), this John Connor is a bit of a bitch. It's like they didn't even bother watching T2 before writing the character. | |

| I wonder how Batman is going to play him. I'm guessing brooding and thoughtful, like most of his other roles. | |
