Just finished watching all this. Eipsode 9 was amazing, totally agree with the above sentiments.

I guess Ill have to get back to watching Heroes now!

not really... dont really follow scifi series. Prefer programs you can pick up & put down as you feel.

strung out episodes following a story line is boring.


Kinda agree and disagree. I like both for different reasons. The main reason I like stand alone episodes is that it doesnt matter if you miss an ep or two.

The amount of series Ive ended up not watching because of not seeing the vital first episode or similar is ridiculous. This series is included. Unless I go and download the whole run I doubt Ill ever watch them :(

Theres only nine and the second series wont be out for ages.

Well worth watching in my opinion, it should be right up your street zippy.

Started to watch the series. Only 1.5 eps through but it is pretty good. I had my doubts but its entertaining and it appears I have a thing for the actress playing the lady terminator :|


Possible spoiler (Im guessing most people have watched it who would care)




Slightly confused by the fact that I thought at the end of Ep 1, they jumped BACK in time (Hence the same place different when bit). But Johns just looked up details of the "bank robbery", so they jumped forward in time? (Thought they went from 1999 -> 1997 or something)

They jumped forward from 1999 to ensure that its set "now" in the present day. This was a cunning ruse so that they can avoid having to dress all the sets as though they are a decade old and can avoid any criticism levelled at them for missing things that arent correct for the time period.

I was under the impression T3 and Sarah Connor Chronicles are not supposed to be in continuity at all and carry on as two different versions of the same franchise. But Ill bow down to your mighty knowledge of all things related to the silver screen in this instance.

Strangely Ive been forced to come to the conclusion that its a Cameron thing, not a Summer Glau thing. When she was in Firefly I wasnt interested, and when shes playing Allison in Sarah Connor Chronicles Im not either.

Picked up Season 1 on Blu-Ray and finally watched it all the way through and was riveted, so Ive been grabbing season 2 in HD from the usual sources and watching them in batches of three and four. Fantastic stuff, cant wait for the Season 2 Blu-Ray although I imagine itll be a while.

Sadly the consensus appears to be that there will be no third series, so while Ive just gotten over Battlestar Galactica coming to an end now it appears that a show which is almost as good and stands head and shoulders above most TV is now due to end soon.

Oh the humanity of it all. I think Im still scarred for life after watching Space : Above and Beyond when I was younger and seeing the horrendous cliffhanger the show was left on when they decided not to renew it for a second season.

Great ending to series two. Hope they get another. Need to know what happens to John Henry. :)

Im going to be watching the final episode shortly... by God this has been a brilliant series, really engrossing stuff.  :bowdown:

This and Heroes are definitely the two best produced series recently, no contest. I hope there is a third series.



*Spoiler:

I thought how they killed off Reese was shocking and all too sudden, but maybe that was the intention...

Ohhh, will have to see if theyre around the usual sources now, as that mid season break was annoying.

Dammit, thats an epic cliffhanger of an ending, it does set things up nicely for a third season though with the emphasis being back on Sarah.

Nige, I dont know if youve seen the last episode yet but (spoiler ahead)...

....Reese is back in the last moments of the final episode when John gets ported into the future
