It's going to be REALLY hard for me, at least, to see any other actress portraying Sarah Conner other than Linda Hamilton! I remember that she was married to James Cameron when he was directing "Titanic" and he cheated on her with an actress he hired in that movie! Brilliant director, one of my favorites, but what an idiotic thing to do! They were soon divorced before Titanic came out I think. But, I'm sure Linda Hamilton doesn't want anything to do with Terminator now! I was so upset that she wasn't in Terminator 3. But, I'll at least watch the pilot for this series and see how it is.

What I find so absurd about it is the fact that they are basing this series around Sarah's character and we know that she is going to to die from leukemia by the end of it based on the continuity of T3. Kind of pointless don't you think? So we see how she trains young John in the intervening years. Like we couldn't have filled in the blanks between T2 and T3. And the whole idea of them being chased week after week by more Terminators (and poor-man's ones at that) is just ludicrous. If they wanted to do a Terminator series, why not base it on the Future War? Should have been the John Connor Chronicles. That is what I would like to see.

The ticking clock is part of the fun. Just like in Smallville, we all knew that from the get-go that Clark and Lana were doomed. And that Chloe and Clark were doomed. And that Jonathan Kent would die. And that Lex would turn into Clark's greatest nemesis.

Future War doesn't lend itself as easily to television. This can be shot at local locals or in Canada in pre-existing sets and requires much less f/x, props, etc. Plus, they're trying to tap into the Smallville, Roswell audience. Not old farts like us who remember the old Terminator movie series.

That would make a cool season cliffhanger....Sarah dying and John taking over and hiding and not using credit cards and **** like that....

Yeah, this show may be stupid.

Fox has 4 free posters available. Only 500 available for each one. I ordered the Summer Glau one. Even if the show turns out bad, that's one nice looking poster. You can also download them.

Yeah, I love that first Summer Glau poster. Very Ghost in the Shell.

As for the show itself, it's sci-fi on Fox, the kiss of death. If X-Files had premiered more recently instead of during Fox's infancy as a network, it wouldn't have lasted a month.

I seen the original pilot for this.. I wonder how much it changed? Supposively they changed some scenes involving the classroom shooting. The pilot was decent though. Im only watching this cause summer glau is in it.

Playing detective...

What was the first SW movie you ever saw? How old were you? Where did you see it?

I was 11-years-old when I saw ANH in the theaters back in 1977.

Close but... Sorry, old man. :monkey3

I can't wait for this series, the trailers look great. Plus, with no Heroes and no Battle Star this winter I will need to get my sci-fi fix from somewhere.

Yeah, it looks like they're gone. I went to the official site and the link wasn't there anymore.

I've been seeing more and more commercials lately for the show. It looks great. I just hope that it really is! The actress playing Sarah Conner doesn't look anything like Linda Hamilton to me though. Wow, how cool would it have been to get her to be in the show? I haven't seen her do much in a long time as far as T.V. shows or movies. I wonder if the producers even approached Linda Hamilton for the role again at all? Anyone know? :confused:

This show has promise but it'll depend on whether or not the writers are taking it seriously and trying to storytell or if they are just trying to continue the Terminator franchise for the hell of it......the ongoing writer's strike definitely will help this show since it'll be one of the few new things on TV in a while that wasn't reality based.

Personally I wish they still offered free posters because I love this one:

That poster does look cool! :D I'd love to have one too.

I've watched the two-part premiere. Who else has seen it? What do you think of it? I like it so far. I still really miss Linda Hamilton as Sarah Conner! I know she'll never be back. But I am liking Summer Glau as a new "unknown" model terminator helping them. I really enjoyed her in the great Firefly show, and Serenity movie as River Tamm!
