I loved the last 2 episodes!

I like the episode 8 most because of the way John defends Cameron. It gave me the tingly tingly sensation inside. Heheheh! Must be acid.

And the massacre scene was cool, blue pool and body counts. For a moment there I thought there was an audio problem with my player or someone recorded something on the audio of the vid that it sounded too different. But it was really part of the scene.

As far as Cameron blowing up, she'll survive. And I doubt that all her skin will burn up. I remember the poster, with her hangin just the upper body and head. Interesting...

If they use a different actress in season 2 if ever there is a season 2, I don't think it will be as effective as this season. Summer was awesome. I also enjoyed the "is this your car?" scene. Really Funny.

When I first heard that Summer was going to be in T:SCC I jumped for joy. I was really looking forward to watching this series and supporting my girl. Summer is truly a gifted actor.

Overall, I was disappointed. This series lack that special something that makes for great Sci-Fi. Both my son and I are Sci-Fi geeks. We love a good yarn.
The writing in this series was pretty much hit and miss, very inconsistent. Believe me, I wanted to like this series but could not find the magic, like in the original movie - Terminator and T2.

Firefly definitely had it from day one, despite the fact that Fox aired the episodes out of sequence. It irks me that Fox is promoting the hell out of this series and that it pretty much left it alone in the same time slot (rarely preempting). Not so with Firefly. But I think it's because Terminator is a known brand. I too would like to know what Cameron thinks of this series.

Come with me if you want to live!

Well, I've been enjoying the show - they better do another series pronto after leaving all those teasers hanging... Unless I've missed things, the following are still dangling tantalizingly:

Select to view spoiler:



Why did Cromartie not kill Ellison when he had the chance? It looked almost blade-runner-esque. "Boring" explanation is that he's unintentionally helping Cromartie find Sarah.

What was going on in the bit when, before being sent back, Derek is captured, held and released? What happened in the room in the cellar with the music? Did he meet someone who had taken up dancing...? Methinks there is something that Derek isn't telling...

Is there more to the woman from the ID forger's house than meets the eye? She and Cameron seem to have some sort of unspoken understanding...



I got the slight impression that they'd run out of money for stunts and FX in this episode - and while the "is that your car" and the Johnny Cash/Swimming pool sequence were excellent examples of how to do more with less.

Sadly, however, the big cliffhanger is the least nail-biting cliffhanger I've seen since the one in Farscape where Aeryn "dies" by drowning in ice cold water on a planet stacked with futuristic cryogenics equipment (dammit, even the ER guys would have had her back on her feet on a lazy plot day!)

Select to view spoiler:



I mean, the explosion didn't even blow the car apart - it might have been bad news for a human, but Cameron is going to have the door off and be out so fast that, at worst, she'll spend a few days looking like she forgot the sunblock (she seems to heal fairly quickly).

Now, if we'd seen some shady figure breaking into the Connors' garage and raiding Camaron's supply of endoskeleton-melting thermite before the explosion, we might actually be worried...
