I had to look up David Silver on IMD.com because I didn't know who you were talking about....Brian Austin Green, ok now I see. I thought he did a good job too in his role, a good addition to the cast.

We just drafted the Terminator. Although, at 182 I don't think he'll be crashing through any walls.

I felt that the opener might have been a little forced in terms of having to compress more storyline in tonight due to the last episode being an impromptu season finale, but I found it quite enjoyable. I'm not totally sold on Shirley Manson, but...
Can't wait for next week.
A T-1000! Wow!

I felt it seemed like a bunch of action sequences thrown together and in a way, a recap of last season, condensed down into one episode to get those that weren't watching up to speed. I'm not buying Shirley Manson, not a fan...and REALLY not a fan of the FBI interrogator.
All that aside, I still enjoyed it and am looking forward to next week.

I liked it.
It was a bit strung together, kind of like they had a lot to say but without real flow, first we are here then there and then there without how we got there.
I was happy to see that the new season saw John shedding some of his, I'm not sure what to call it anymore but he was a bit whiney, last season's John would have so fallen for the ruse. Cameron, what can we say--your scene with the stapler gave me goose bumps (Yes amid all the violence that was what got to me.)
I'm glad to see Derek is back, I was afraid with all the 90210 hoop-la he might have defected, which would so have been a mistake. I like most of the characters on the show, not to sure about the new badass. You can be most anything you want and you choose to be a urinal? Ick---those machines really don’t have any reservations. Otherwise she does pull off the part, she certainly makes me want to say B**** when she saunters onto the screen.

One of the few shows I can honestly say I don't want to miss an episode of. Probably the only Fox show I like.
I liked the season premier, good stuff. Shirley Manson (Garbage lead singer) as a Terminator? I wouldn't have guessed that.

I watch this show because my attendant on Tuesdays likes it. Otherwise it was going to be one of my 2008-09 casualties. I realize you have to suspend expectations of logic and reality, but this show has me constantly asking, "why didn't they just do this?" The new, bad female Terminator looks cheesy and stupid. A urinal? Are you kidding me?

I still am really in to this show but Shirley Manson has convinced me she can't act.
She is horrible. I thought the scene in which she morphed out of a urinal was fitting for her "piss poor" acting.
I really like this show but word is out that Fox is considering either shuffling the show to another night or canceling all together in typical FOX fashion. The last episode scored an all time low and the show has been steadily losing audience.

I wouldn't cancel the show, but I'd cancel the heck out of Manson. Her story line, character and acting are bad and the more time they spend on it, the worse the show will become.
They need to return to what works and get back to the danger that the Connors clan is facing and their mission of stopping Skynet. So far we've just been watching Cameron's memory chip malfunction for two episodes.
The one exception was when the Cromartie kidnapped the paramedics wife...and even then, the story focused too much on relationships instead of their struggle to save the future.

Last night's episode was rather... odd, yet interesting at the same time. It was a nice change from the "somebody's trying to kill John this week" format. So with the T-1000's kid and (supposed) deceased husband, more terminators or just part of her infiltrating humanity? I hope this show doesn't wind up canceled.
Next week's ep (Summer Glau's character origin) looks really interesting.
I'd like to see this show wrapped up in one more season, partly because I think it'll be canceled after that and partly because I think that's all the legs it has.

Yeah, I liked last night's episode too (except they still need to have Manson's T1000 transform into a better actress)
Just watched it. DVR'd. Awesome episode as long as you can look beyond Derek Reese having a scruffy beard when he is an instructor at a military school. Loved the interaction with future soldiers.

Yay for no cancellation -- full season of 22 episodes ordered by Fox.

FOX is actually giving a show a chance. Maybe there is hope for the network yet. Then again, sounds like early tampering already with Joss's Dollhouse. We all had seen how that played out in Firefly.

Better off silent
Show has gotten better as the season has gone along, but it still has a bunch of problems.

Who casted Shirley Manson? seriously...ugh
To think 10 yrs ago I thought she was good looking too

Agreed. The formula needs a little tweaking but the show has potential. I love Summer as the Terminator. However, please please have the liquid Terminator morph into another actress. Shirley Manson?
Like I said before, her morphing from a urinal in one episode is appropriate for her piss poor acting.

I may not agree with you about Heroes, Lost or Supernatural, but that last sentence was pretty funny. I thought it was strange that she is a Terminator, but she was a decent fake human until this past week when all of a sudden all her movements and reactions are robotic. For the first time since she was on the show.
Thank you. I am glad someone else also noticed that. Then again, they sort of already did that with Cameron as well from the pilot episode.

Wow, Monday's episode was EPIC.

I have been on the fence with this show for most of this year (although enjoying it more than Heroes or Fringe), but I have to say, Monday's episode was the best of the entire series thus far, IMO.
