Agreed.

The writing for Sarah Conner has been pretty good so far.

I keep having this feeling that Summer Glau's character is going to experience increasingly human emotions.

I'll go out on a limb and predict that eventually she does the nasty with either John Connor or his uncle [after he caught her dabbling in the ballet], and then I'll go way, way out on a limb and predict that she gets pregnant from it.

PS: The super-advanced model, the FBI brother - is he a good cyborg or an evil cyborg?

Or is he going to have to struggle with his "conscience" before he decides whether he's good or evil?

I cannot wait for more Battlestar. Just started rewatching them all from the beginning.

Torchwood was great, especially having Martha on the show. As far as Owen goes, if you saw the teaser trailer at the end of the episode (or if you watched season 1) the answer to your question is kinda obvious.

Unless I am mistaken I don’t think the FBI Agent is a cyborg. That crazy Dr. stabbed him in the leg with a knife last week to see if he was.

In the pilot episode, the FBI agent is sitting in the shadows, and his eyes glow red.

But I'm not sure that he even realizes he's a cyborg.

It might be kinda like the last season finale of Battlestar Galactica, where there are people who are toasters but they don't even realize that they're toasters [until they hear that stupid song].

Anyone else want to comb that kid’s hair on Terminator. It’s been weeks now and he can’t seem to comb his hair.

Last week’s Torchwood episode was the one I was waiting for. It was good to see Martha Jones again. When the BBC announced that Martha Jones would guest star on Torchwood, there was some speculation that the show would tone down the sex and violence in case 8-12 year Doctor Who fans might watch the show. Apparently Torchwood has no plans to pull back.

I got in on Torchwood late...can anyone direct me to a web site or give me a quick rundown on the basics? So far, I like what I’ve seen in three episodes.

I’m a little surprised BBC America doesn’t have a good episode guide. I checked BBC first because they have the best Doctor Who episode guide but they have a block on Torchwood content outside the UK, which I figured was because Torchwood is such a popular BBC America show.

Which really doesn’t help you. I would just do a google search and take pot luck, unless you can access the BBC guide.

They probably just killed him last week so they could give him a personality transplant and make him a more likable character next week j/k.

Speaking of personality transplants, I loved the assertive Tosh in Adam. Though, I love Tosh in almost any episode. Best character of all. I hope she becomes one of the Doctor's companions at some point. She's be the most popular one since Sarah Jane or Leela.
