Terminator tv series debuts tonight...

I'm currently addicted to "Chiller," the (primarily) 80's slasher channel available on Direct TV. with access to back episodes of "Tales from the Crypt," "Twin Peaks," etc., everything else seems to pale by comparison. :theshadow
 
my wife and I were talking about this last night actually. What I came up with is this;

For a major network television show to air a series that, in all honesty, could have been a SciFi Channel series, the higher ups must have had a really good feeling about it.

They must have also received very good responses from the pilot.

I'm gonna give it a try just because of that. I probably wouldn't watch it if it were aired on a less prominent channel.

Fox is taking a major risk but taking major risks is the reason they joined the "big 3" way back when they started
 
Josh Friedman wrote it. Although The Black Dahlia sucked balls, he is a rather legit scriptor.

Ill give it a shot.
 
By the way, it doesnt start until Sunday.
 
Is it true the girl Terminator is played by the same actress who played River in Firefly? Hmmmm, now that could work.
 
Actually it premieres on sunday night (13th) and continues on monday night.

Yes indeed.

Id assume you would hit it?
 
My stupid local FOX affiliate refuses to okay satellite hookup of either west or east coast channels (I cannot get local reception, nor are local channels offered on satellite).

Summer Glau.

And it can't be too horrible since FOX did bring us Firefly
 
Bumped

8pm EST on Fox.
 
John Connor's being protected by that hot brunette....and she's a terminator. It has to be good.
 
I don't know. As soon as I saw her say "come with me if you want to live" I just got all cheesified. It was okay in the first, great when Arnie said it in the 2nd and then just got killed in the 3rd. Give up the cheesy lines already and just blow shit up.

If anyone says "I'll be back" I'm going to put my foot through my television.
 
Talk about "I'll be back." Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Sunday night premiered to 18.3 million total viewers and was broadcast television's highest-rated scripted series debut in three years among adults 18-49 and adults 18-34. (Among total viewers it was the highest in almost two years.) It was also Fox's highest-rated scripted series debut in over seven years among 18- to 49-year-olds (since Dark Angel, Oct. 2000) and in eight years in total viewers.

For a TV series based on the most special effects laden series ever they did a good job with it. The cast is descent.

i thought it was gay as fuck


Kano is such a ripoff of the terminator.












:D
 
Some of the dialog was so cheesy, and why didn't they use another buff guy for the Terminator? I will finish watching the finish from last night then i'm over it.

Tonight's was better as far as acting goes. There was also a terminator who looked like he lifted.
Jeeez people judge too quickly sometimes.

It's not a great show, it's not an awful show - but regardless, it's better than a lot of stuff that's on...

Regardless, the series looks more promising than the T3 movie ever was.

cant be worse than AVP2.
total disgrace

So that movie sucked?

For some reason I want to rent "Dragon Wars". Anybody seen that? Looks cheesy, but cool at the same time.

It felt like I was watching a sci-fi original piece of shit at 3am or something. That shit no-name actor even said "get to the chopper", what a fucking tool move. They also had an exact rip off of the predator leg wound repair scene up in the tree from the first one. The rest of the movie is a mix of Dawsons Creek and rehashed action/effects from AVP, only shittier.

Both Predator *repair* scenes were ripped from Arnold's eye surgery bathroom scene in Terminator. Predator 2 appropriated a load of p-r-o-p/scenes from Aliens. In fact, look at any sci-fi b grade in the last 20 years and you pretty much have parallel plot points and characters to Cameron's Terminator series and Aliens contribution. He's a great filmmaker, still prefer McTiernan though:D
