That Had to Hurt.
Terminator: Yada Yada Yada S2E1
UPDATED
Always expect spoilers.
So that was a pretty good season premier last night, yes? Fox is smart to start it this week, when few shows are going yet; this is how they hooked an audience in the winter, when there was nothing on due to the writers’ strike. Of course, the fact that they had a great show didn’t hurt. This season’s prognosis is good, based on last night’s opener.
Some quick notes on the show:
*That had to hurt when Summer Glau stapled her own face together for the role. What an amazing actress, willing to go so far for her craft!
*When Cameron went bad, various things were shouted in our livingroom. Mainly “Bad River! Bad!”
*Dude, when they pinned her between the giant truck and the SUV? That was a crazy scene. Especially the part where she starts almost crying and telling John, “I ran a program. I’m good,” over and over. Of course, I was still telling him to deactivate her, but I didn’t feel good about it.
*Notice that John said, “She saved me… She saves me.” First off, is he talking about she saves him in the future? Or that she tends to save him every day. Because how would he know that she saves him in the future? He hasn’t been there yet. Has he?
*I thought the red-headed hormonal beast was Ginger Spice. It’s not, and other than the red hair, they look nothing alike.
*I’m glad Shaggy finally cut all that hair off. You can’t be a warrior slash hero with potsmoker hair.
*What’s Sarah’s ex doing hanging around with Sarah when he’s married? I guess it won’t have to bother me much longer, because I’m thinking the wife kicks it next week.
What did y’all think?
UPDATE: I forgot to talk about the creepy FBI dude! The one that interviewed the good FBI dude. He was creeping me out hard. I couldn’t tell if he was a Cylon, a Terminator, or just a tax accountant. He scared me through the TV.

i like robotgirl and i didn’t want her to turn bad. i can’t believe how much i like the actress in this series but hated her on The Unit. which means she is a good actress…i like this show a lot but i really think they didn’t make such a good choice on the actress that plays the mom. maybe i’m wrong. but i love the boy that plays conner and robogirl. and the uncle is very good too! and the FBI agent is good. and i’m rambling.

I thought that at the end of the episode, Sarah’s ex kinda ski-daddled without saying goodbye. The uncle even said “I guess he does have a wife after all.” or something to that affect.
I’m surprised that we get to see the red-head T-1000 skewer that guy’s brain in the bathroom. Kinda graphic for an 8 PM time-slot, eh?
And I was given the impression from Terminator 2 that the T-1000 (the liquid-metal Terminator) was a prototype. Am I mistaken?

I was so happy to see him cut his hair - I just couldn’t take him seriously with that hair. I love all the creepy characters they have in this show - the new Cromartie (Kestor) is super-creepy and the red-haired terminator has creepiest eyes. I loved the intro with the song and the slo-mo/disjointed action sequences. I watched the season finale before watching this one and my favorite part was when Kestor was killing all the FBI guys and the Johnny Cash song was playing! Best scenes evah! I was sad to see the Jeep go though - such a waste of a beautiful vehicle.

I just read on scifi.com that the redheaded bad terminator is the lead singer from Garbage! And she sang the intro Samson & Delilah song. And now I’m here babbling on about it, because it’s so cool!

1. Of course evil River was going to get fixed. You think they are going to get rid of the eye candy? However, the impulsive John fixing the cutie with face staples we just a bit of a stretch. This is the guy who teaches the human race to “take out those metal muthaeffers” (from the original Terminator movie) just finds it in his heart to trust this one? Just because she’s hot? Its a good thing they don’t have hot terminators in the future apparently.
2. While I like red-headed chicks, this one looks like she just got done swallowing a whole box of lemons. So sour, so dour. However, killing the snarky dude by hiding as a urinal was way cool.
