Just saw T1 again; nicely, in 1080p. :) I had actually forgotten how good it was. But this show? If it weren't for Summer...
Actually, I'm beginning to feel a bit sorry for Summer. She's such a great actress, and a creature of extraordinary grace. But instead, they're letting her be another Buffy like slayer-type: just another girl kicking ass. People love those! But in earnest? I think they're selling her short. Nobody's gonna notice the excellent, subtle facial expressions of her as Terminatrix; all they'll remember is seeing her shove other Terminators through walls, in a show that will go down as... well, 'that will go down' suffices. :(
I recall her stating she thought she wouldn't get the part. Now I thinkin' that very thought is the one I'm placing value on today.

About The new terminators being different. One of the T2 books has a new style terminator, an I model instead of a T model. I standing for Infiltrator. Designed to pass as human for as long as possible.
Any way's I quite like the show and the voice overs in the beginning are good in my opinion. They add a depth to it all. There are some points were they kinda stray from things but they still keep pulling me in.
Also whats with that creepy flesh that Cromartie(the one that pretended to be the teacher) had at the end of episode 3. Well I guess he needed new skin but he needs a little "detailing."
Finally each book, movie, and now show changes the time line from the others and that is to be expected. Also trying to understand temporal paradoxes is enough to...

Appears to be a lot of naysayers here ?
For my 2c, As the show doesn't air in Australia for a few weeks yet, I downloaded the first 2 eps & thought they were quite entertaining. I'll be watching it when it goes on air here.
Will take a while to get used to Summer as a Terminator as each time she says a line I half expect to hear Arnie's voice. I also keep relating all she does back to River Tam - type cast or what !!
I think Lena is playing her role really well, the John character is a bit weak so far and Summer is of course outstanding. I wish the show every success.

Ok I'll make a reply to my own post...
Just some links that will keep us a little busy.. I was in youtube for a few mins today got to watch some interviews with the cast of SCC. A little way of keeping myself entertained until the 4th episode comes out.
I noticed most questions were directed to Summer.
River was mentioned in some parts of interview. Fun interview to watch. Joss was also mentioned somewhere.
Maybe this would be of interest to some of us here..
Here are the links. Q and A parts 1 and 2. Have fun.

Great clips Windstruck. I dig this show, and I'll watch it until the end, or until Fox cancels it. Whichever comes first!

From the last link above:

"Well there's a little something that I'm working on right now with dance," [Glau] said, slightly hesitant to go into detail. "It's a little thing that Joss Whedon is working on. We've had this idea for a while, and we haven't had the opportunity where both of us are available, but it's something that we're working on as much as we can."

I'm also waiting for an explanation as to why Summer can be flirty and cool the first episode, and completely high-school socially inept now..
My mom floated a theory on that during the last episode. Cameron talks about the Terminators being programmed to carry out missions. Well, Cameron's first mission was probably to find John. Then, the second mission could have been something like "get close to him," which is what the flirting and acting normal were for. And, now, with that mission complete, the next mission is help John.
Maybe the future John forgot to give her orders to blend in after she found (the past) him? Or, maybe it wasn't important - that as long as Cameron doesn't draw too much attention to herself (and she hasn't yet), then her oddities are acceptable, given that she doesn't interact a whole lot with anyone beside John and Sarah anyway. And, it also frees Cameron to be herself more, instead of having to switch back and forth between personalities for an indeterminately long period of time. Maybe the future John thought that would be helpful, and that has something to do with her being a new sort of Terminator.
Or, maybe she has free will and doesn't have to stick rigidly to her mission (which is what it sort of seems like), and she doesn't consider blending in a priority.

"Blending in" or "finding John" are tasks that have a need for the ingratiating aspects of her programming. As stated, once that task is completed and the target (John) is acquired, no need to regress to that wasteful programming.
