Well that just about killed the series for me. Too much stupidity on all accounts to even begin to list. I am forcing myself to watch one more episode of the show only because I am curious about the Cameron origin story. Bah.

A mediocre episode that at least felt a little bit more "Terminatory" (real word!) to me, which is what is needed. Lots of amazing stupidity, though.

That whole 'Terminator-run corporation' side-story has to go, and fast. And who the heck cares about this Rily (Riley? Rilee?) character?

Mediocre, but slightly better than last week.

If it weren't for Summer Glau, I probably would've given up on the show already.

I don't think the woman playing Sarah can pull off the role. It looked like there may have been a good John coming into his own angle coming this season. But it seems like they went with the crazy haircut and whiny teen angle instead.

The terminator running a corporation angle just isn't interesting. Considering the number of people/terminators traveling back from the future (another annoyance) there should be enough terminators to take over the world on their own .

I'm giving the show at least one more week.

I think the corporate story would have been stronger if they hadn't revealed she was a Terminator. Then she'd just look like a technocrat, and her hiring of Ellison would seem more organic.
