Terminator Season Premier-spoiler alert

[Tron_fdc]

So at what point does John Connor bang the machine? There's this whole underlying love story of John and his hot "sister", so I'm wondering when she enters into slut mode and they get their freak on.

Subject: John Connor
Instructions: FREAKIFY

When Cameron was checking out John's new girlfriend you just knew she was about to snap her neck. I'd hate to see a hot terminator in full jealous rage mode. I had a girlfriend like that once....it ain't cool.

Man thats kinda weird on a lot of levels. Plowing your sister (even if she's not), who's a machine. Wonder what kinda programming Skynet has put into place for that. And plowing a metal endo-skeleton might just be like doing a vacuum cleaner. And then she'd turn on cuddle mode after that, and she weighs about 4 tonnes so not only is she going to break things when she does the riding, but if she sleeps on your arm your losing it.

Wow Captain, you've put a lot of thought into this.

[CaptainCrunch]

Yeah, well right now I seem to have a lot of free time on my hands.

now, I know this show is science fiction and I can't take anything seriously, but what kind of a security guard in a nuclear power plant carries a huge machine gun like the one Sarah grabbed. Although, when Sarah took him down, that was pretty sweet.

Not a big deal, but it bothered me a little. Not the machines, not the time travel......the security guards choice of gun.

Or in the age of Homeland Security it takes less than a day to higher two Janitors and they are left unescorted throughout the plant or the Distinct lack of anything pertaining to a Safety Program. The place seemed more like a prison then a power plant complete with the corrupt wardon.

I did like how it didn't matter what Sarah did either way they would have put it the automated control system so that Skynet will control it or they shutdown the plant and skynet wins. It goes along with the you can't stop skynet only slow it down theme

[CaptainCrunch]

I like that it goes back to the fact that Skynet was based around the Turk which was the ultimate chess playing computer that could learn how to beat any human being at the game.

The nuclear power plant was a prime example of the end game in chess where your opponent has you completely sewn up and you know it. You look to do a castle swich but that keeps your king in trouble, you can't move anywhere because he's got every angle covered. The only thing that you can do is tip your king and start a new game.

If you look at it that way, then the new T-1001 is a queen to skynets king, and John Conner is the king on the other side of the board, Sarah is the queen who might need to be sacrificed to win the game and Cameron is the castle that might be called in to sacrifice to save the king.

Your right... u do have a lot of free time on your hands

Anyone have any ideas on the writing on the wall at the end of the show? I couldn't make out most of it. I'm assuming that the guy that warped in wrote it all before he died?

It looked like a list of names. Greenwood, the guy they were after in this
show was listed, as were others.

I missed this writing?

Just realized I have to pick the kid up from swimming at 9:00 on Mondays from now till December, guess I will have to be taping all these now.

[the lemming]

It was hard to make out but it looked to be a bunch of names and such scralled out in blood. I was wondering if there were some hidden meaning or clues in there but maybe I'm just in "Lost" mode.

[Arsenal14]

Looked like names and addresses to me. Other than Greenwood I don't think any of the names had appeared in the series until now.

[RougeUnderoos]

I kinda like this show -- it's a "guilty pleasure". It's goofy and often doesn't make a lot of sense, yet gets better as it goes along and you know what is happening, but every time they put that damn Shirley Manson on the screen, the whole thing just comes crashing down. She is just plain awful. She looks ridiculous and she can't act. Even in a cornball FOX show like this she is terrible. She makes Brian Austin Green look like Marlon Brando.

The show looks like "VIP" when she's on. Just terrible.

It's kind of funny that it took so long (25 years) for a Terminator to actually go under water though. You'd think would have come up before.

Sorry, I don't know everyone's name, which character are you talking about?

[Flaming Choy]

Shirley Manson = the Office exec with the British accent (don't remember the character's name)

Next week's episode looks really good, mainly since I'm a Summer Glau fan.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Unlike my rouge coloured underwear wearing friend above, this show is more then a guilty pleasure of mine. I genuinely think it's a good show, and last nights was great.

Last nights episode was much better after a sub-par episode 2 IMO, and I hope this sets up Charlie joining the group full time. Every gang of cyborg hunters needs field medic.

[CaptainCrunch]

I liked the episode, sure she's a terrible actor, with freaky looks and an accent that makes me want to punch out puppies, but she is a terminator, and thats their job.

I laughed pretty hard at Cromartie plunging to the depths, I had always wondered about that because terminators way like a thousand pounds.

Cameron jealous of Riley, sure, but most girls are jealous of girls that have the whole fantasy rack thing going.

And there's no doubt that Charlie is joining the resistance, he's going to be the whole revenge factor.

[bigtmac19]

I thought last night was great as well. Charlie will definitely bring another level to the group.

I thought that was hilarious about Cromartie as well.

The Shirley Manson character is certainly creepy, I think she plays that really well, definitely get the terminator vibe from her.

I missed the preview for next week's show... what did they show?

Cameron gets a job stripping to help the cash strapped fugitive. It shows Cromartie in the front row flipping terminator chips at her metallic like G-String.

Then the evil T-1001 enters the bar and orders a lap dance.

Looks like an awsome episode.
