    I caught the second part last night. Pretty good. I meant to catch the first part, but I forgot that it was on, so I was slightly confused about some stuff. I'll have to try to find it online, or failing that, it'll certainly be released as a DVD box set at some point.

    Ah, Fox has a stream of the first episode on their site -- I can watch it on my lunchbreak! :D
     
  3. Yeah it was ok. Not sure how good this will really be. I will watch for a bit and see how things progress though. It has potential to either be really good or really bad.

    I just muted the TV so I wouldn't have to listen to all the lame dialogue and then proceeded to sit back and gaze lovingly at River Tam kick'in ass :D She is so hot.... I'd let her terminate me.... er, whatever that means :hump:

    My hubby wants to see this. Main character looks too darned scrawny compared to the woman who played Sara Conners in the movies.
     
  6. Well they were obviously going for the better looking Sarah than the movies. Also I think it was their way of trying to compete with The Bionic Woman which in my book The Bionic Woman wins hands down. The show like I said is pretty good but time will tell if they can keep it going or will it just become the same thing every week...Bad terminator shows up and gets beat by good terminator they move....rinse and repeat.

    Well, the whole Terminator concept is pretty narrow, it's pretty much bad robots versus the human race and good robots, with lots of collateral damage. Still, two episodes in and they have the time-travel twist, the FBI agent who is starting to try to figure out the story, and the mission to stop the machines from taking over, all potentially interesting story arcs. If they get lazy and drag it out too long, it could get boring, but it could be quite good if they keep it fresh. Should be good for a season or two either way...

    I've watched the first two episodes, not stellar but not teh complete suck anyway. Sara Conner is actually hot and so is the good Terminator so eh, thats good for at least a couple seasons too :lol:

    Will be funny when they tap into her trying to make a normal life for her son. the day she tries to make macaroni and cheese and bake a pie, but the kitchen is destoyed by robots. They take her pie and throw it on the floor...she rips the apron off and pulls out a...a...well, you'll have to watch and see.

  12. Firefly reference! Yea Donkey!


    I can't bring myself to watch it...I just can't...even with River in it...to me it seems like they are just trying to cash in on the movie franchise.

    No one beats the original Sara Connor...

    About time someone picked up on that ;) (though maybe others did and just did not say anything).

    I won't pretend to be long time firefly fan.... however, I recently bought the series and I find it amazingly good. I can safely say that it is my favorite non-comedy TV show (maybe favorite overall)........ granted, the joys of my newfound discovery were short lived once I got through the season and realized that there are no more shows :(

    Yes. It was sad really. Fox butchered the original series when they released them OUT OF ORDER! If you watched the series off of the DVD release, those were done in order. Honestly, I don't know how Fox makes money sometimes outside of the NFL deal they've got. Oh, and that one reality TV show they've got....American Idol. I've heard about it once or twice but never payed that much attention to it.

    Anyway, getting the thread back on track, I watched the first two shows. And I probably won't be watching anymore. Summer Glau, while striking in appearance, cannot convince me that she's a Terminator unit. Now, if she looks at the camera with those huge brown eyes of hers and whispers "Miranda" I'll laugh for a long time wondering if there are any other Firefly fans catching that reference.

    Yeah, the 'River the Terminator' act is wearing a bit thin.

    It's strange, killer robots don't seem too far-fetched, but an autistic killer robot doesn't quite work for me. :p Whatever, what little television I've seen in my life has reduced my standards to the point that I'll continue to watch it for a while, because most everything else that is on is worse. :disgust:

    autistic killer robot?

    Maybe this is based on the real life Asperger's syndrome work force of Bill Gates. He made them comfortable so now they can take over the world.

    Just the other day, I came into the house after bringing firewood in. I took my boots off, and put them on the mat next to the door, picked my shoes up off of the mat, and put them on. Then, I walked into my bedroom, took my shoes off, and put my comfortable moccasins on. My wife asked me why I went to all the trouble; why not just take my boots off, then put my moccasins on? Well, then my shoes would have been in the wrong place.

    On another occasion, I rather offended one of my wife's coworkers when I met her newborn son and blurted out, "Hey, he's cool, he looks like an ape!" My wife patiently explained to me that mothers do not understand that I mean it in a complimentary way when I compare their children to apes.

    I'm not sure what a world run by geeks with Asperger's syndrome would be like, but if my house is an appropriate model, it would not always make sense to the casual observer, and occasionally border on chaotic.

    However, "Autistic Killer Robots" would make a great band name! :D

    Wasn't that Bender's bands name? When he was playing with Beck?
