EDIT: Oh and the 'new' season starts on Virgin in 5 days time.

Catch up, I'm 5 episodes in

Has anyone else been watching this?
Thankfully it seems to completely ignore everything that happened in Terminator 3 and follows on from T2: Judgement Day instead.
Been a really strong show so far (6 episodes in)

That's because the T3 timeline hasnt happened yet! It's set after T2 and before T3.

Isn't that because by Terminator 3, Sarah Connor has shuffled of her mortal coil?....or whatever?

no, it just lacked the sort of impact that the previous 2 films had and instead was just a CGI and stunt extravaganza (sp?)

Of course thats not to say that the first 2 films could have survived sans Sarah Connor

It's good the is it?

I'll put it on the list of boxsets, still ploughing through BSG season 2 at the moment.

Its not T2 good but certainly a lot better than T3
Some solid ratings on TV.com

Also rated highly on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Terminator-S...4258615&sr=8-1
and its down to under £15

Ah yes... I remember it well...

The episode of The Good Life where Jerry gets Terminated by a cyborg who looks like Barbra.

Yes. Still makes me smile all these years on.

[Bob Dalek]

It's a good series and not too dissimilar to The Good Life.

[Spacecadet]

5 episoes into season 2 now... its still keeping me entertained.

Getting a lot deeper aswell, there's plenty of potential building up for a - dare i say it - bladerunner-esque type plot.

Hopefully it doesn't get canned anytime soon

So I take its not about this Sarah Connor then? Quite nice but got a funny nose.

Depends, is she:

The mother of the leader of the resistance against the machines

or

A German pop star?

It was a bit worrying when John Connor got offed in the first minute though.

I'm waiting for them to send a friendly terminator back in the guise of John Connor, so the bad guys can chase him all they want. These yanks, no idea how to write a credible storyline.

saw the 1st episode. s'alright i suppose. the "friendly terminator" has obviously been instructed to adopt a bunny boiler stare, so common amongst lady robots.

She's an actress much like Hugh Grant is an actor. i.e. they're good at acting as themselves.

Saw her (Summer Glau) in the series FireFly and the associated film Serenity. She's good at kicking her hat off!

It picks up, i was a bit concerned in the first episode that Sarah had got herself romantically involved but it plays out well

Well that's good to hear - was going to give it a couple of episodes before deciding whether to stick with it.

Wrt, T3, interesting story about the rights etc:

"T3" was owned by Mario Kassar and Andy Vajna, who years ago bought the rights at a Carolco bankruptcy auction out from under Cameron, prompting the director to remove himself from involvement. And the "T3" rights package included a multimillion-dollar rights buyout and exec producer credit for Gale Anne Hurd, Cameron's former partner and ex-wife. He famously signed over his "Terminator" rights for $1 to her before they made the first film, in exchange for a guarantee he wouldn't be replaced as director. It was a deal that left him on the outside looking in as everyone else cashed in on "T3".

The slate is clean after Halcyon Co. bought out all franchise rights from Kassar and Vajna and set the new film for domestic distribution at Warner Bros. for summer 2009.
