About Riley and Hawt Aussie Girl:
I don't think it was just you, as I got that same vibe.

I don't think it was supposed to be giving that vibe, but it did. I pretty much want to have sex with this entire show.

If I had the chance to have sex with the entire show, I'd gladly give him the courtesy of a reach-around.

It is, or rather, will be on Fridays starting Feb 13. It's just on midseason break right now.

So apparantely young John Connor was on G4tv's Attack of the Show Feb 9th. He made a comment that at first he offended the Terminator girl when they met because the actor John knew another girl that was up for the part something about casting a busty blonde for the part that he knew. Anyone else catch that clip and perhaps have an idea who the Busty Blonde he is referring to?

Why is nobody commenting on the wonderfulness of the last episode? Has the move to Friday meant that nobody watched it? Fuck you all.

I saw last fridays episode I liked it the stuff with john henry was very interesting curious to see what liquid metal lady will do with him since he was able to tell that she was not human. She looked pretty alarmed by that curious to see where that goes. I was amused when she was going on her rampage that the camera was zooming in on very innocuous things to make the viewer wonder where she was going to spring out from.

This show has hit the skids. Last two episodes have left me under-entertained.
Cameron has been pushed in the background as well as the lesbians from the future. Can't a brotha get a shower scene?
The three dots hasn't been an interesting story for me, sick of Sarah defending her sanity.
What's happened to this show?

I liked the opener two weeks ago quite a lot, though I will agree that the last one was under their normal standard. Still, that's one episode out of a bundle that has been sub par. I'll not write it off just yet....even if Fox already has.

It's just my opinion and that's what these boards are for eh? Also, your posts used to be really great and, man, they have hit the skids now that you are a fanboy.

The funeral episode was slow, but I thought it built to a good end. A good end in that it left me wanting to know more.

Totally fucking clueless, hoping they cancel this now. Sarah and John are the most boring characters ever, I'd rather watch Summer Glau interact with a vending machine for 40 minutes.

Sarah and John are the most boring characters ever Given how often you come up with the strangest forum postings about MMORPGs from the most unreadable, boring, and downright brain destroying internet locales, I'm apt to throw that comment right out the window. But I won't because I too would like to watch Summer Glau interact with a vending machine. But for totally different reasons. (I have interests in her choice of beverages).

Sarah can't get stop talking about her ex boyfriend, only in this case her ex boyfriend happens to be the end of the world. John Connor can't get past being the saviour of mankind so looks forward to speeding time with his suicidal annoying girlfriend. No fate, more like no interest, neither of them can die or the show ends, the most involving recent episode, Self Made Man, focused on characters that didn't spend their screen time being emotional wrecks.
But you know what? Maybe you are right, maybe my bad choices in computer gaming preferences serve to illustrate how some quality television like this, can go right over my head. The tea leaves point to cancellation, at least they can blame it on a move to Friday's.

You had me until that last bit. Seriously, though, they do need more Cameron stuff. Not just because she's hot. I still think that even slow episodes of this show are superior to most everything else on TV. The writing is still good, the characters still interesting. When the attractive nurse at the sleep therapy place (whatever the fuck that place was) says "thank you for explaining"...moments like that are what make the show for me.

This last episode kind of reminded me of the episode of Buffy where she is hurt and having dreams of being in an asylum where her fantasies about being a slayer are causing her all kinds of problems. Very trippy.

The problem for me is they are riding the "Sarah might be crazy" angle too hard at the moment. Her fragile state of mind was an interesting bit of characterisation when it was implied. Dragging it front and center and making it the driving force behind an entire arc transforms it into a gimmick.

Well she has spent a good 17-18 years effectively doing whacko shit now. Its surprising she hasn't gone completely off the deep end by this point. She is sort of like Batman. Only hot. And fighting soulless robots instead of the Joker. SHE HAS A MISSION RAAR. Close to 2 decades of fighting a war almost nobody but her knows about is enough to give PSTD to levels nobody could possibly think of.

Sarah having valid reasons for being crazy can be interesting, T2 showed that when she flipped out and started shooting at Miles Dyson. This last episode just wasn't well done,

I am watching season 2 on iTunes and I just cannot believe that John never asked Cameron if her programming included blow jobs. If I was 15, it would have been the first thing that popped into my head. Now that I am 40, it's the second.

Looks like next weeks episodes is going back more into the main story lines again. The last three episodes were fine its just that they unfortunately were a bit more on the filler/bridge episodes and after the first half of the season where most of them were moving along pretty fast makes the second part feel a bit slow. Still liking this show a lot better than heroes because even Sarah going a bit nuts is more consistant than and understandable than the actions of the people in heroes.

Dumb question for ya: why pay to watch on iTunes when you should still be able to watch these at fox.com? In HD even? I'm at work, so I cannot check that they're still up. Otherwise, yeah, of course he's thinking about it. Haven't they even hinted at the possibility that future John has some sort of actual relationship with Cameron? I'm sure there's a pearl necklace or two in her future.

They hinted at that in the very first episode (the relationship not the "necklace"  ).

Given that she is a female form infiltration robot one would have to assume she is programed to perform any function necessary for that role. The male infiltration terminator in one episode was married to a lady and one would assume fully functional.

I really enjoyed the last episode. Just the little details in the writing - when you go back at the end and look at which parts of it were dream, you see the little changes from the show's realty that were based on how Sarah sees things. Like Cameron walking around in front of John in her underwear.
Obviously, this show is going to die.
