The good thing about this one is the manipulation of the relationships between everyone. It's always a constant battle where the little things people want to accept could tilt the future out of balance. I'm really liking that it's more dialogue and emotion. It also helps me to anticipate the next movie coming out this summer.

    I feel the same way.

    Originally the Producers of the series wanted to call the show Sarah Connor Chronicles. Fox made them add the Terminator to the title, this was, IMO, to lure, or "trick" viewers into thinking that the show was going to be different then what it is.

    They may have even pulled the same move that they pulled with Dollhouse, ordering the early scripts to have a different slant then the Exec. Producers wanted.

    Its possible or even probable that the show might have garnered better ratings if they had continued down that road, but even as they go down in flames, I'm glad the Show Runners decided to tell the story they wanted to tell, and not pander to a different audience. Me, luvmist and 3 other people might be the only ones who like how the narrative is playing out, but it is what it is.

    Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

    Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

      They are loving it on iTunes. I'm trying to figure out what their ratings are based upon. Is there a basic overview of what they use to rate the number of households watching television shows? Wasn't Family Guy the same way before it was cancelled?

      I just personally like to think when I'm watching something instead of having the thinking done for me personally.......

        This is a good show that I have been following since the beginning. The problem that I have is that a lot changed since the first season that has kind of bugged me. I still watch on a weekly basis and hope that Syfy (Sci-Fi Channel) does pick this up as rumors are indicating. With some of their money, I think the show could really get back on track. It doesn't help that those dummieson FOX put this on Friday's either.

          Like what? One thing I don't like is how the robot is stringing along the little girl. Why not kill her and have another little robot in her place? Maybe that's just a little nuance that keeps me wondering also.

            The last two episodes have been much better, imo. The show got back to more interesting storylines.

              The writers finally wrote an "A+" episode for Thomas Decker as John Connor. I hope in the upcoming episodes he doesn't "regress", i.e. some other writer turns him back into a clueless dilettante.

                I agree. They were able to successfully transition him from moronic teenager to someone you can actually believe is destined to do great things. The scenes he appeared in on last week's show were some of the best in the series.

                  Has anyone else heard if the show is returning or getting canned?

                    No announcement, but I think its safe to say if it continues it won't be on Fox.

                      Hopefully SyFy (what Sci-Fi Channel is changing to) picks this show up.

                        Do you know the reason for the change to the ridiculous name?

                              The past three episodes have been absolutely fantastic and is exactly why the show is must see for me.

                                Best episode in a while.

                                I'm actually looking forward to next week's episode. First time in a while I could say that.
