I tuned in and watched both Friday night.

What did you think of the new episode of TSCC?

I love TSCC, however, Sarah Connor *really* annoys me. I try really, really hard to like her, but every episode makes me like her even less.

The best part of TSCC is Cameron. They need more Cameron-centric episodes because she's by far, THE most interesting thing on the show.

And I know she's a machine and all, but she's saved them numerous times, you'd think they could afford her a speck of respect at some point.

I know that the ratings haven't been that great and I hope that Fox can hang on to it. I don't want it cancled, but I do think that they need to kick it in gear and bring some of the action/suspense of the franchise and inject it into the series.

And less whining, and more Cameron ass kicking.

Just my thoughts.

I like TSCC and Summer's part in it.
But right now the show is floundering, story-wise.
They are introducing some potential story springboards, but they haven't moved forward in a while.

I'm hoping they are saving budget with these holding pattern shows to do some big adventure episodes.

I like the show a lot. Summer didn't do anything this week, but hopefully she'll continue as a major character this season. This week's returning episode was a bit weak, but the Shirley Manson death & destruction scene at that warehouse was pretty cool.

No. I am not.

I love Summer, and she is amazing as River, and I'm sure she's just dandy as Cameron, but I watched the first half hour of the pilot episode, and said to myself, "Well Summer, I'm glad you have a new job, but I can't watch this."

It was terrible. The acting was bad, the story was bad, and Summer's first line (classic as it may be) was terrible.

I'm sorry, but I am just not a fan. Dollhouse on the other hand...

Yep, definitely a Cameron fan. "Allison from Palmdale" is my favorite episode so far although the "The Demon Hand" episode with the ballet scene http://tinyurl.com/aajz5e at the end is a close second. TSCC isn't perfect, but then most shows aren't. Anxiously awaiting the season 2 DVD and hope they get a third season.

I enjoy the Terminator franchise.
I have bought TTSCC season one on DVD and wathced. Summer is a much better Terminatrix than Kristianna Loken.
Sure, Sarah was sweet in T1. But whatever annoyance Sarah radiates now just seems to be continuation of her becoming annoying during T2. I think Lena can act well, but this is just the way they are writing Sarah.

I understand Michael Beihn was originally cast as the first Terminator. I think it was a role best suited for Ahnold. Summer may be the 2nd best-cast role among Terminators.

I am glad Summer is in a lead role of a show in it's second season. Can't take that sky from me - or her.

I am not sure sometimes why they haven't done more with Sarah. She is a great character and as pivotal as John is to the story.

They keep reiterating how she would do anything for John. I think we get that now. Time to develop her character some more. She is far more than just John's protector. She taught him a great deal about fighting, surviving, etc. Why not play up role as teacher more?

I like Cameron too, and it seemed for awhile they were going to develop her a bit and it appeared to me as if she was developing some sort of interest or attachment to John other than the role of protector. That seems to kind of gotten lost in the shuffle.

I would like to see Cameron blossom more as a character since according to the movies the CPU in the Terminators are supposed to be "learning computers". Perhaps see her taking on some more human aspects would allow her to grow.

Yeah, the timeslot of death was not kind to TSCC this past Friday. Not sure why Fox can't seem to grasp the concept that the target demographic is not at home on Friday nights at 8pm. Even put on opposite of Chuck on Monday nights it got better ratings. I just hope Fox is not content to let the show languish and fail in this horrible slot.

I do agree the writing staff needs to kick it in high gear and get things moving. The arc they are on now seems to be a long slow moving one. They need some shorter arcs for instant pay off that don't detract from the overall arc.
