It seemed to be setting the right tone. This season however has left me way less than excited after the premire. [sblock]Evil cameron I didn't mind until the end when she was begging for her life. She seemed to be getting to emotional but even then I was willing it let it pass as part of a trick to get herself released. When she said she loved John and then he pulled her core I figured that he knew she was lying because Cameron would never say that. Then everything went bad in the show. John seemed to have too much of an atachment to her. He decided that somehow the chips in the core had been damaged and then fixed them by dusting them repeatedly. Say What? Then against everyones better judgement, including his uncle who said they can go bad he puts the now dusted chip back in. Ok, Cameron going good was inevitable, but why not let it go at least a couple of episodes. Next, John is somehow more freaked than normal by something, but I am not sure what. Given all that he has seen up till this point why is he suddenly more freaked than usual. Why was the bad haircut done because he was freaked. If they really wanted to give the actor a really really bad haircut why not let him do it as part of setting up a new identity like they should be doing now. (Oh wait, then Sarah would need a new haircut, and they would be acting rational by relocating).Then lastly the whole evil corporation. I thought it was bad that somehow there was an evil corp that was being set up that would create skynet. Then it went to rediculous when it turns out a Terminator was running it. 1. When did terminators suddenly become expert at long term infiltration and business management?2. If you do get a terminator to run a corporation dedicated to seting up skynet, why are they trying to do it from scratch? Why not just bring back the chips and software you need from the future?3. Why does the T-1000+ have emotions? 4. If the terminator is trying to infiltrate why is it killing high level employees instead of firing them? Killing them will only draw attention.It really seems like the show is all of a sudden going in a completely different direction. Instead of being about Sarah and John trying to survive and figuring out how to stop skynet from being born by piecing together a puzzle it is now about them fighting an evil corporation with a terminator at its head. Also instead of being about man versus inhuman machine they are ripping of Galatica by humanizing the mchines and making it about what makes one human. If I wanted Galatica I would watch that, I want Terminator which is man vs. persistant inhuman machine. This seems to be heading down the road that happened in Star Trek when the Borg were humanized much to thier detriment. [/sblock]I will give the show another couple of episodes but right now its prospects don't look good for me.  I have to wonder if that between seasons there was a major turnover in creative control and the writing staff.</blockquote>
