I thought the episode was pretty good overall. Probably the second best episode after episode 2.

No real WTF moments. The image enhancement(turn 4 pixels into a high res terminator head) was a bit stupid in this day and age but it wasn't that bad.

Now for my question. Did anyone watch the preview for next week? Remember that 4th resistant member who wasn't at the apartment when the bad terminator killed the other 3? We meet him next week. In the preview, was that Justin Timberlake?

It's not great, but it is definitely good enough to watch. I hope it makes season 2 because I think they are going to learn alot from season 1.

The Terminator went back into standby after it killed Mike and re-secured the bunker; it didn't see John. John didn't have a weapon able to damage the Terminator - even if he ran it over with the truck, it would wake up, and he would be stuck with it inside the bunker.

I like it.

I don't think it's a bad show as long as you're not going into it with the expectations that it'll be like T2-style quality.

Pretty much.

This episode was kinda boring for me. I didn't watch the Terminator movies for the plot - I watched it for the cool action and sci-fi aspects. This is kind of lacking in that.

It sucks compared to T1 and T2 and the actors are badly cast but at least it's something to watch after Prison Break.

I disagree, the "bad-guy" terminators have been very well cast. The milf playing Sarah is also well cast.

I thought the show was pretty intense. Loved the scene where John had to get the key to open the blast doors. :thumbsup:

Has anybody else picked up the little subtle nods?

The female Terminator's name is Cameron . . . IE, James Cameron. That one's pretty easy.

But the black FBI agent, Agent Ellison . . . reference to Harlan Ellison, author of "Demon With a Glass Hand", inspiration for the original Terminator.

In the bunker, the name on the side of truck was Tetsuo Corporation. Anyone seen the Japanese movie Tetsuo: The Iron Man?

saw the first 3 episodes. 3rd episode was horrible. forgot to watch 4th, then came into this week's about 15 minutes late. had no clue what was going on but it was better than the 3rd attempt. I'll keep giving it a shot until it induces vomiting.

This last episode was kind of yawn-inducing until John inexplicably jumped into the back of the truck. The bit with the captured guard and Cameron was hilarious.

Better than Bionic Woman!

It's not Grade A, but it's very watchable. Kinda liking it even after thinking the pilot was a joke. More terminator in highschool wouldn't be too bad;).

Oh, and anyone else think Summer Glau really looks like Amy Acker (Fred on Angel)?
