I know this isn't a film but a TV series but I wasn't too sure of where to put this thread. Anyway, has anybody seen this TV series and if so, is it any good?

I have heard of these and I have been told it is very good! I'm borrowing DVD's to watch it.

I'm not enormously impressed so far, but I'm a huge Terminator fan. (Big enough that I refuse to acknowlege T3.) I'm also a big Lena Heady fan -- she's what's keeping me watching. The show did a clever trick where they undid everything that had been done in T3 (guess they're big fans too) so Sarah is alive in 2007. Why am I not impressed so far...? I think part of it is just that it's a TV series, and after all the action of the films, it seems slow. There are also a number of critics who have said that Summer Glau is miscast as the Terminator protector for John. I'm still not sure if I agree, but I do think they could have done better. I also wasn't impressed with how well she "passed" before John knew what she was, but after we found out she was a Terminator, all of her social skills deserted her. I mean, pick -- is she more advanced or not? There's this great scene in one of the first episodes where she's thrown into a car, and her head goes through the windshield. The people inside start freaking out, and she goes, deadpan, "Please remain calm." I'm still taping them on my DVR, and I need to watch a couple of episodes yet. But I'm on the fence about whether I'll keep watching. I guess we'll see how I feel after watching a couple more eps. (I think I've watched 4 so far.) - Eva

I'm a big Terminator fan too, so thats why it caught my attention.. When I get to watch them I'll let you know what I think...

I liked the character Summer played in Firefly/Serenity (River Tam) have to see this to see what I think though from initial thoughts here it sounds like she is getting typecast in the the same type of role.

Thanks and please keep me updated. The problem for me is that the series is being shown on Virgin channel on Freeview in Britian which is free and I have it BUT for some unknown, reason I can't get the bloody channel. I have read up a bit about the series and episodes on Wikipedia.

I was reading about this on Wikipedia and what I can understand it is that the series was set in an alternate timelime, which explains that when Sarah, John and an advanced terminator from 2027 (before the T 800 in 2029?) were transported forward in time (huh?) to 2007 from 1999. Also, most films that become TV series, like Stargate, will have different actors from the films and will expand from the films a lot more. As for this advanced Termeinator that is more advanced than any other terminators like the3 T 800 and T 1000 that is made of mimetic polyalloy, then I think it's a bit dodgy, but I need to watch ther actual series to decide whether it's a good idea or not.

I enjoy this series though I'm not that hardcore of a fan when it comes to the timelines etc.. I think Summer does a good job. She's cute, petite, innocent-looking, and probably the last person you would think was a terminator. And she kicks alot of much larger than herself Terminator butt. She also has that "Wednesday Adams" goth look...so for me the socially awkward teenaged killing machine trying to learn to be human and fit in to highschool life....hmmmm...that does kind of sound like highschool...LOL I haven't seen the series from the beginning, but the episodes that I have seen were quite entertaining.

I have the channel Met but was exhausted so did not see the first episode last night.

That chick on the episodes on tv series she just blew me away when she was in that skirt!!!!

I have just found out that there's going to another film in 2009 called Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins Terminator 4. Australia: The series began on February 12, 2008. New episodes air every Tuesday at 8:30PM on the Nine Network Found this for you Ebony. Hope this works. If not, blame Cyberdime Systems.
