Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

[Evildrider]

Cool beans!

I would stand there slackjawed if I hadn't ever seen the Terminator.

I'd be all like W-T-F?11

Just finished the episode.  I have high hopes for this season and the death of

Just watched myself (hulu ftw).

Fuck yes is all I can say.

Ok. I just went to look at Hulu. Seems they have a few ads during the shows like real TV, but it's a cleaner 480p feed than regular cable. So I have to ask, how is this OK?

Dude, you're just finding this out?

I've been using it for like 10 months.  Only problem is having to wait a day for your episodes.

[schild]

I already wait a day to discover them in 720p or 1080p. On top of that, I wait for most of the shows to finish half of their season and watch them in one go. I started doing this when half of the shows I liked starting getting preempted by the war in iraq or canceled outright (I'll miss you Wonderfalls, Veritas, etc).

[Evildrider]

Ya Hulu is pretty nice, it can be a bit spotty on episodes and seasons.

I watched this on the Fox site last night. I was not expecting this episode to have so much concentrated awesome in it.

Summer Glau is very pretty. Even with her face all torn up and stapled together. When her hair is down, like it was for this entire episode, she looks like a grown up. I used to feel all about her; not any more. Yum.

Where's the Shirley Manson love?

[tazelbain]

I didn't realize she was the lead singer of Garbage.

Shirley Manson has a sexy accent.

Sure is, that song at the beginning of the eppy was a Garbage song as well.

Waiting for when they unfug her.  Bad hair bad makeup bad costume

Shows going down hill then.

I was wondering about that, why he did what he did. But through it all, no matter what happens, John knew all that stuff before he sent Cameron back. The whole series is supposed to be through Sarah's eyes, but it still reads like John's telling the story. I almost expect the series to end in the future with John saying "And that's why I'm sending my hawt new Terminator back in time."

That little spoiler trick is clever, don't get me wrong...but for someone not wanting to read the spoilers, it makes for the weirdest fucking thread ever.

[schild]

Someone who hasn't caught up with a show and doesn't want spoilers should probably not even click on the thread.

[MrHat]

Ya, its why I quote which spoilers I'm trying to address.

It's very strange I know.

Intraweb. Your sound judgement and reasoning skills bounce right off me.

Edit:  But if I'm douching up the thread too much, just say so.  I'm actually reading some of these threads not to discuss the show, but to determine if I want to give the show a try for my somewhat limited viewing time.

This show, except for like 2 episodes last season, is so fucking worth your time.

[Cyrrex]

Thanks.  I'm looking at a season 1 BluRay boxset at amazon for 28 bucks right now and wondering if I should pull the trigger.

[schild]

I'm going to.

[Cyrrex]

Not if I get there first ass monkey!  Curses!

[stray]

It ain't all that. I mean, shit, yeah, it's Terminator and all, but the actual pacing of the show is tiring. Not to mention it doesn't have any really standout cast. Every show needs at least one Denny Crane: and this doesn't have one. It's got some sexy chicks (granted), some boring guy who was also boring in Oz, some even more boring FBI agent (seriously, this guy needs to die off already), a merely satisfactory John Connor, some weak ass terminators.. Hell, it's so lacking in compelling characters that the second most compelling thing after the chicks is 90210 boy. He might be the only guy with any sort of edge. That's sad.

Shirley Manson's got edge, but my god, she's awful to look at.

[Mrbloodworth]

The only thing that does bother me about this show is, every other scene has "Feelings" that they must Talk/cry about.

I agree on this.

Kill a motherfucker and move on.  He was going to kill you.

[Cyrrex]

So I did order the Season 1 Blu Rays from Amazon (they came FUCKING fast, by the way...even with the free shipping).  I can see what the hype is about.  I've gotten through four episodes, and it's pretty solid entertainment.  And yes, Summer Glau is, well, yummy.

I have a feeling that it will lead in to issues with her family life.
