    the "come with me if you want to live " line was not very convincing at all..
    i only saw the show because joe buck told me to watch it :p
    but like others have commented, John's mother is Freaking hot!

    I probably won't watch this again. The acting wasn't very good, especially the Terminators.

    I didn't think it was bad. I set it up to record all the episodes.

    Dekker isn't the best actor in the world, but he did alright.

    I just love to watch Summer... I don't care what her character!! :)

    I'll try to give it one more shot tomorrow -- not terrible, but the first hour didn't completely grab my attention.

    I wasn't the biggest fan of the movies to begin with, and this show seems pretty mediocre.

    I checked it out because I recognized Summer Glau (Firefly)

    eh.

    I'll watch at least another few episodes for summer glau.. cause the show was at least decent. We'll see if it'll get better.

    One of the cops said that the chair had kevlar in it. That's less believable than the recliner stopping bullets for no reason.


    But I liked the show so far. I'll give it a few more eps.

    I think the terminators act like that on purpose

    I think the reasoning was that they got special stuff in the house--for example, chairs with kevlar in them? At least that's how I assumed it to be when they said that (as opposed to random chairs having kevlar)

    It's okay, but I definitely watched it more for the name than the story.

    Saw the beginning, too bad that terminator dude's voice totally didn't match the terminator "image". Looked legit though, the styling atleast. I only saw the first ten minutes until she woke up from her dream but it reminded me of the old terminator movies. But it didn't keep my attention long enough cause I changed the channel pretty quickly.

    I liked it. Some of you are coming in with expectations that are waaaaay too high. It's a TV show for Christ sakes not a James Cameron movie.

    Assuming this was the same pilot I watched several months ago, I enjoyed it for what it was. The acting wasn't terrible(although Lena Headey still can't do a consistent American accent), and I appreciated the continuity with T2. I guess haters of T3 will be happy since it appears to ignore that movie entirely.

    I enjoyed it but the acting was pretty horrid. Kind of curious as to where they are going to go with the time traveling deal at the end.

    Will give it a fair chance, most first episodes are kind of weak acting wise as they get comfortable with their characters.

    We'll see, only problem I have so far is that River Terminator seems a bit too human

    I thought that was intentional, as it makes you wonder what "model" she is. Does she have some human component or something? A former human, made into a terminator?

    Just guessing.
