Here's who shoulda done the theme music for TSCC. Cross-promotional marketing by a megaband could've made huge difference. No mention of this Bond girl, not even on this thread or forum, near as I can tell. FAIL.

In general, the Terminators could've been a lot hotter, and scarier. Sexterminators...

I wonder where they got the idea for a gothgirl Terminator?

"Megaband"? Garbage? Shirley you jest! They had one "kinda-hit" over a dozen years ago, and little to nothing else.

The reason Shirley Manson wasn't mentioned in any of the Terminator threads was because she never seemed to be a major part of the show, and that story arc didn't seem to be going anywhere.

The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means;
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

The only reason I knew Shirley Manson was in TTSCC was from all the posts on this board.

Now "Wheren Lies Continue" by Slipknot,(THE NINE KICK ASS!), is a good song.

Listen, i don't go around kalling people haters for nothing, i'm just saying, if you don't watch the character DEVELOPMENT, then you suck.

I shouldn't be taking the troll-bait, really; but I'll bite quick enough to say Zeek is entirely right, of course. On every count.

Personally, I took 'mediocre' as a kindness, even. Hate me for it, if you must. :)

Thomas Dekker's whiney acting stood out like a sore thumb, all throughout the show. Towards the end, there's was maybe like one episode where I was finally not annoyed with the twerp, and I could actually see him as a plausible future Resistance leader. Now, you can take that one brief instance of rising above mediocrity and call it "character development." Or you could be brave enough and admit that his overall performance was just dismal.

And then his mom. Don't get me started on her! Always angry, always sour, always unpleasant. Supposedly out of concern for John. It's a tale of woe. Very stirring. In the meantime she just succeeded to annoy.

Stephanie Jacobsen, as Jesse, was fair hot, I'll give her that. And that episode she killed Riley was one of her better ones. And then... they took her out of the loop.

And Summer, what can I say? She excelled in "Allison from Palmdale," painfully laying bare how her talents were wasted in this show. Instead they had her standing around, numb, for most of the time. And there's really only so much brilliance one can put into doing that.

Then there was bad scripting. Oh yeah, there was plenty of that. They host an entire chess tournament, yet they couldn't find any prop-guy with the wherewithal to actually place the chessboards properly; they want us to believe they built the most advanced A.I., yet when he 'forgets' something, apparently there was a fault on the harddrive (whereas every half-way decent home server across the world has some sort of RAID these days). Could go on for ever. Won't.

Either they gave us tech-talk only a 4th-grader would buy, or they went overboard the other way: John intenssely staring at Cameron's arm, diagnosing the problem as something "deeply internal." Why, thank you, Dr. Obvious, for that brilliant display of deductive reasoning! I'm sure Cameron could never have figured it out on her own. In fact, that whole stuff, with Cameron killing that bird and all, supposedly meaning to wax philosophical, failed miserably as a whole.

I guess the biggest problem with the show was that it continually tried to take things into a new direction. And, as a result, it went nowhere at all. Shows like that usually end the way this one did: they end.

You, you say those horrible things,FRACKING TRAITOR!!!! Do you even care if the human race survives at all, HUMPH!, do you even care that we have entered the time when scifi shows, end dates have come? TSCC IS THE BEST THERE IS, THE BEST THERE WAS, AND THE BEST THAT THERE EVER WILL BE!

Oh, and if you don't know who said that daily, you suck, HART FOUNDATION!!!
