Well, last episode was interesting... we saw the return of Dr. Silberman and him being a complete whackjob.

The ballet scenes were nice, Summer looked very hot, and the scene with the Russians were good too, especially when she walked away... letting them get killed off.

Any of you watched the episode? Just so you know, tonight is the season finale... a 2 parter, 2 hours.

Here are a couple of interviews with the producer that may be of interest:

Yeah I watched the episode it was good, the last scene with her dancing and Reese watching her was especially creepy. I could only imagine how disgusted he much have felt.

The ballet scenes were nice, Summer looked very hot,

Did you see the bones jutting out of her back?

[Munsu]

Meh, it takes more than a couple of bones to scare me.

Anyways, a couple of things I almost missed when I watched the episode:

1. When Derek was talking to John about how some people do uncharacteristic things under pressure, things they come to regret, when he was talking about Sarah and her time at the hospital made me think of Derek in the basement and if maybe he did something he regrets, like betraying the resistance.

2. The last ballet scene where Cameron is dancing, she's dancing to the same music that was playing in the basement.

Here's one of those shitty petitions that really don't matter, but sign it if you want:

icey weather so i got to watch the 2 hour special on tv instead of downloading it.

i'm not going to go into details for those who haven't watched yet.... but omfg, if they don't make another season i may rip my hair out. good 2 eps

[Abdula]

Seriously two great episodes I haven't been this interested in a show since Supernatural began and looks like New Amsterdam should be very good as well. Anyway that birthday present Reese gave to John was tight and the scene with the terminator killing all of those people and dumping them in the pool was epic. Really one of the most memorable scenes I've ever seen period.

Did they really kill Cameron, I think she probably survived but will need some serious repairs or something like that but who the hell was that guy. He seemed to be human and I wonder why Cromartie didn't kill Ellison?

Reese has alot more depth than I thought his character would have, there is alot more to him than meets the eye. Will be interesting to see what direction he is going to go in gotta say I love his style though, for all his talk about Cameron and the machines sometimes he acts just like them. Speaking of Cameron she is one bad mutha......

[Munsu]

I loved the pool scene with the Johnny Cash song... found it very well and uniquely done. It was something fresh.

Thought this were two great episodes, and I really really hope this gets a second season. Fox would had to be fools if they don't renew it...

As to why Cromartie didn't kill Ellison, well one has to wonder if Ellison plays a part in creating Skynet, but I think the main reason is because Ellison is after Sarah Connor as he learned in the episode, and Ellison has all the case files involving her... so, Cromartie might see him as a tool to finding her and John.

[Abdula]

Makes sense gotta say though these new breed of machines are alot more human than anything we've seen in the movies. Their logic and intelligence is down right scary not to mention that they are freely roaming the earth and acting independent of each other.

And yes the music in this series has been awesome, like I said that was one of the best scenes ever.

[Munsu]

Good news, looks like it got renewed for a second season:

Season 2 promo picture:


Right off the bat, I like the John Connor haircut. At least more than the gay cut he had before.

[Munsu]

Wow... the season premiere was fucking awesome. You guys got to get this shit as soon as you can.

[itadakimasu]

yep....

that was pretty amazing. actually better then the last couple movies i've gone to see.

2-hour premeir would have been nice but they did 10x's more in 1 hour then prison break did in 2 hours last week imo.

[TwisT]

So now we have a T1000 as head of the project for making Skynet. And Cromartie is still out there. Awesome!

Also i loved that Cameron started to beg for her life in an attempt to play on John's emotions for her and for life itself. Shows a weapon in terminators arsenal that have not been shown before. Also we got to see just how much John really care for Cameron. She's not just another machine that is expendable.

But man was the T1000 a shocker. I suspected that it could be a terminator, and even that i was 50-50 on, but a T1000. Wonder how they will beat her (if they ever do).

[Munsu]

Well, we don't know if she's actually a T1000... but it's clearly something similar to it.

As for Cameron, it seems that her chip is still messed up. You have to parallel what happened to her with what Weaver was saying about people and street lights, and finding a machine that could break the rules (the programming). This seems to be what Cameron did. Her rules were telling her to terminate John, but she apparently overrided it herself.

So Cameron could snap at any given moment and kill John. She may no longer be limited to her programming. It also brings into question how much reprogramming future John did. Did he ever actually reprogram Cameron, or to what extent did he do it? Or did he simply teach her things?

[Abdula]

Are you still watching?

Unfortunately no, I've been much too busy and too tired to watch anything lately, not even football

I'll try to catch back up once things settle down but I have no idea when that is going to happen.

[Munsu]

That's too bad cause this season seems better then the previous one.

For those interested you can catch the first episode online here:
http://www.hulu.com/watch/33738/term...on-and-delilah

It seems to be a US service only, but you might get lucky. Also, watching it there should help a bit in keeping the series alive.

Second episode tonight.

[Assassin]

Divx quality, and no border limits. Lots of other shows there too.

[Munsu]

Well here's episode 2:
http://www.hulu.com/watch/34615/term...ple#s-p1-so-i0

I didn't enjoy this episode much, especially with that new crappy character that was introduced. Some scenes were cool, like Cameron playing pool and some incidents in the power plant. Other than that I hated John's scenes for the most part, they made me cringe a couple of times.

[Abdula]

Okay so I finally caught up and I gotta say I'm really liking what I've seen so far, I've just got one question. Why are they making John's character back into that whiny little emo he was in the beginning of season one. As soon as I saw him cut his hair I said, oh boy here we go again.
