I haven't seen this yet since I had to watch The Amazing Race last night, but I'm catching up with it tonight. I also liked T3. It was nice to see a big blockbuster with so many practical effects that wasn't over reliant on CGI.

I watched it today online (with multiple stops and starts so the video would load) and I loved it. I think, for the most part, everyone did pretty well acting wise. Thomas Dekker was great, personally, and Summer Glau kept me glued waiting to see what her robotic-ness would do next. I love the premise and am very happy that Kyle XY is not on at the same time tonight!

Anyone else bothered by the fact that the terminator skull got through the time portal? Only living tissue can pass through and yet, the "de-skinned" skull managed to pass. Also, Lena\'s Sarah seems a bit too soft. Linda Hamilton\'s Sarah was edgy and tormented, which really showed in her acting. This Sarah seems too compassionate and when she isn\'t, it seems out of place with her character. I hope, as with many new series, this improves.

I questioned that too. We know no possessions can go thru. However, as the portal was set in motion, that terminator was coming thru the bank vault. So he was somehow sucked into the portal as Sarah was firing that weapon. He then began to lose organic matter AS he was being transported. So he started with flesh and came thru the other side as metal.

And I highly enjoyed the pilot. I hope they can keep this level of excitement up!

i think the writing is weak and story kind of lame it has protrusile to be good show but as it sets it weak and very predictable i am sadden that this show is gain ground as firefly died so quickly u say what you want about firefly it would of raised to greatness if fox would gave it a chance to gain some footing joss whedon is great writer and in my eyes 1 of greatest
