I think if I was having to fight Terminators on a regular basis, I could at least get a pass from going to school.

Except that the characters do completely implausable things in every other episode the series is great. I agree on that C plotline, like we’ve argued, “Why is John even going to school?”. Why are they putting him out there like that. How many Terminators have they faced down and yet they still put him in regular society? I want to see John learning resistance from rebel leaders in Nicaragua, firing guns, and building bombs. Maybe doesn’t make the best show, but if they can get away with some of the strange stuff they pulled off last season I’ll be pleasantly surprised to see what they try next.

At first I was having trouble getting into it, but it does pick up as it goes along. I guess it makes more sense just to ignore T3. Alternate timeline or something.

There was an interview on Newsarama this week with the producer of this show, and he stated they’re ignoring everything about the 3rd movie, and just building on the mythology of the first two.

I actually found myself really into this show. The Pilot had some cool moments: skipping ahead into the future, Cameron’s time machine built into the bank, etc.

And I agree, Brian Austin Green lit up the second half, and I’m glad he’s on board for the second season.

It’s interesting when they go and play with moments and characters from the first two movies… scenes set around scenes in those movies. it’s fun, and it just builds.

And then there’s the terrible C plotline involving John at School. Gimme a break.

But overall, enjoyable, entertaining, and pretty exciting to watch.
