Any thoughts on last night's season premiere Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, including the cool surprise ending?

I thought it was great. The beginning was kind of odd as first but it grew on me after a while. I'm pretty sure that

Select to view spoiler:

John escaped and killed the guy who was attacking his mom.

Overall I like the fact that John is starting to sack up and start acting like the man he is going to be someday.

The end was awesome. I saw the previews and knew that something like that was coming, but I just didn't know where or when.

I totally loved it! I couldn't believe how good it was. This show is heading off into amazing new areas with new characters like Shirley Manson. Summer Glau was on screen for half the show, and her performance was brilliant. It really looks like a winner this year.

She certainly did an exceptional job. I almost found myself feeling bad for a terminator when she was pleading with John. My only gripe with the episode was how John managed to fix her chip just by scraping it with a knife. He sure as hell didn't have a computer or any diagnostic equipment handy to check the "repairs".

Before he pulled the chip, she was telling him she was aware of the damage, but had now fixed it. She would not have said that if it were not true, because all her systems had reported was "damage", and apparently her self repair capability had sorted out that identifying John Connor as someone to be terminated was cause for some chip damage to be fixed (apparently with some reprogramming, as per the scene where her terminate command is overridden.)

The pre-show word was that some major characters were to be killed off, and as they were getting ready to burn our girl, I was wondering what kind of hit their ratings would take if they did kill off Cameron?

personally I don't see that happening:

they've spent a lot of money to promote Summer/Cameron, she is featured in most of their ads,
so I'm guessing that they will kill off one of the secondary characters (maybe several of them) because changing those out always shake things up without losing fans...

I was a little disappointed last night, I thought it was too action packed without enough plot...
but of course it isn't like I'll stop watching! LOL

Yes, killing off that character would have been bold, and for a moment I was thinking the producers may have gotten a bit too bold.

They did do a hell of a set-up, and they could have run it out a bit more for a hell of a episode cliff hanger.

After watching the premiere, I'm convinced that people got their wires crossed on the rumor about one of the main characters being killed. It's been known for a while that one of the regulars won't survive the season, but I think somehow that got confused with 'someone won't survive the premiere'.

yeah, I thought they said at Comic Con that someone wouldn't survive the year...
so I wasn't expecting any deaths until next Spring.

I'm still stuck on the potentially horrific misjudgement of a T-1000 turning itself into a urinal.

But yes, the concensus on another board is that John was gambling that Cameron was telling the truth when she said she was okay.

Also, it's downright eerie how much John looks like Cromartie's new face. . .
