maybe you worded this wrong/ or i'm mis-reading?? - you say 'a few episodes'???
IF that's true then how do you know the writing needs an overhaul????
The series (IMHO) just keeps getting better - and is moving away from a rigid formula. Recently especially Summer's had some great things to do, in powerful episodes. See PirateNews in this thread for an opposite reaction;)
I don't agree that the shows needs more, uh, legs(koff!) but that could be true to sell the frakker to the mainstream for all i know.
What i DO know is that i have now seen Summer's best performance since Objects in Space.
Ok, so a little focus on summer there - this being a fireflly site and all - but Cameron's character is developing and the plot threads are snarling nicely... and as i said elsewhere -the dark? bring it on!:)
Oh and for a plausible answer to the topic itself here - check the other thread and Cybersnark's comments:

Like many here, I only watch the show for Summer - and I hate what they're doing with her. She's so amazingly underutilized on that show! She was far more human in the first episode of the show than she is now that she's "learned" how to be more human.
All they ever have her do is walk like a robot, say a few non sequiturs, and push people through walls. My biggest gripe with the show is that Summer is never, ever allowed to show any of her gracefulness.
If it goes, I can't honestly say I'll miss it very much. I *want* to like the show, but at this point I mostly just wonder why I'm watching it.

It was like watching stunts done right. Of course there was a lot of product placement with Dodge and the new Ram and it's new features but it didn't detract from the story. Hopefully this will be a taste of things to come. It's not too much to ask to be entertained while be informed of new products. Totally beats all the Political ads.

Wish we had had contests for Firefly...

Who thinks the "never back down" title for the contest is holding it back? I think a "hope summer gets a better role after this stinker gets canceled" sweepstakes would go over much better.

These are good shows and will prove themselves worthy. One thing that does cause some of this is that there is not one grand week where they all primier. These shows are being brought back on different weeks so they lose the impact of a starting a new season with a bang. I am still waiting for "Life on Mars". There are other shows I still have heard nothing about. So it just needs time. I'm telling people about "Fringe" so I hope they get hooked. I know I am.
I just love "Fringe". The first episode was on in the UK on Sky One Sunday and it was very good. Can't wait to see more. I have been telling my friends to tune in, it is that good. As for TSCC I have caught a few episodes but apart from wanting to see Summer there was no real emotional pull to the show so I just couldn't get hooked no matter how much I wanted to for her sake. Just caught an episode of "Desperate Housewives" and it's the eppy where Gary Cole's bad guy knocks Nathan's character out then ties him to a chair. Hmm, looks like our Cappy could use some BDHs just about now...

That's one of the reasons the show is not performing. People like zeek who should be grateful that Summer was one of the main reasons Firefly was good and not trash her new project everytime he sees fit. I thought Firefly was anti-troll but this guy is a bonafide troll. Browncoats don't support Summer the way they should and you wonder why Firefly and Serenity failed. Just shut your yap and support. Simple as that. I''m ashamed to be a browncoat reading some of these messages. Terminator is now IT.

There's a response to the concerns at http://fox.com/blogs/terminator/2008/10/09/status-update/
Well worth a read, but in essence, it says the show has not yet been canceled. They just ordered scripts for two more episodes, but have not committed to production on them.
The show admittedly has it's faults, but is a lot better than some of the other stuff out there, and it seems to improve with every episode. Every show needs time to grow up. Give this one a chance.
