Well the second season has started, and I must say, easily the best episode of this show yet. I'm not sure I'm liking the new 8 o clock start time. This show was safe at 9 for me. A, when it was on in the spring, it was something worth watching at 9 on Monday Nights. Since Raw isn't as terrible as it was earlier this year, I guess thats a good thing. However, I think the biggest reason for the move, is to stay away from Heroes at 9 (Honestly the most boring and over rated show I have ever had the misfortune of watching) and the key 18-35 year old Male demographic watching Monday Night Football later on.
Anyways...
This show was excellent. Great twist by having Cameron, the female Terminator played by the smoking hot Summer Glau, turn bad after the explosion that ended last season. Thomas Dekker's young John Connor is simply bad ass. This series has done an absolutely excellent job at casting John Connor in all of his incarnations. Connor is the reason this story works, and it's great that they've found a talented young actor that can fill that role nicely.
I'm leaning with X, i'm beginning to have my doubts about the title character and her acting ability. Lena Headey as Sarah Connor was okay, but she''s about as one dimensional as it gets. Her acting range is about as good as Batista's in ring ability. Every once in a while, she's great, but if she doesn't have a great story, she's terrible. I'm hoping they kill her off before too long, ( she does die somewhere between 2 and 3 anyway). With her out of the way, John can grow more as a character.
Brian Austin Greene better be thanking his role as Derrick Reese for saving what could be known as a career. Greene as a badass is simply shocking, considering all he was known for was being about the tenth most important character on the craptacular Beverly Hills 90210.
This season looks awesome, but I'm not going to spoil it for you, ahh bullshit on that.
