I really want this show to be good. I REALLY do. Sadly it is not. The storyline is messed up, and they constantly interfere with the future by doing something in the past, be it killing someone or blowing some building up, but oddly has no repercussions.
Every law official is lacking in brains, and civilians just stand there like monkeys looking at whatever danger is there. Cops and bad guys handle guns like they have never seen one before, and Sarah is almost like a terminator herself compared to everyone else.
The only good thing is the evil Terminator. The acting here is surprisingly good. And they manage to embrace the robotic acting of Arnold in the first movie. They even implement an original way of switching the actors by surgery. So far they have been lucky and both are seriously perfect fits as the role (in my personal opinion the new one in ep4 has the right look).
On the down side the good Terminator Cameron (Summer Glau) sticks out, and is VERY bad in this role. Her look and stature is not convincing for a Terminator. And the odd change in behavior from the first 2 episodes from being almost human suddenly changes to robotic and clueless.
It’s an insult to all Terminator fans this show. The show is feeding us with nothing, thinking we are idiots to buy into this as a worthy entertainment.
The show constantly refers to the movies, and that’s all it has to hold on to for a plot. It’s just about running and the plan to stop “Skynet” again.
I will not stop watching yet. I do hope they get their stuff together soon, and listen to our cries for improvement.
