LOL!

“and am willing to give it a chance”

I’ll paint a wall and then watch the paint dry.

“You watch the door while I make the pancakes.”

“Come with me if you want to live.”

“But I don’t want to wear a puffy shirt!”

How Shakespearean!

All right...line 3 wasn’t said in the last two episodes. It’s coming next week, along with “I had a pony.”

[BurbankKarl]

well, there are only six more episodes...

I guess you can sit home and watch American Idol for the next year.

“I guess you can sit home and watch American Idol for the next year.”

No, please. Not that!

River is looking all grown up. ;)

It's the first time I ever saw her with her hair washed!

She's quite the babe. In fact, the whole show is quite the "babe-fest."

Bill McCuddy asked if Summer could "take him" in a bar fight... If he had ever seen the bar fight scene in "Serenity," and knowing that Summer did nearly all the stunts (except for 1 or 2, I believe), he'd know for sure!

How about “Terminator IV” where Arnold destroys California?

That's not on Fox... It's on Fox News and it's been playing for a number of years now...

As far as fem-fatales, it is way overdone to the point where 98lb women may actually believe they can fling a 280lb man across the room. Hollywood loves showing women as superior to men in fight scenes and they know the young male adult will watch anything with guns, bombs, and hot young female bodies. Besides that target audience, this is but one more reason why men are walking away from movies and TV to pursue other interests.

“Can we start with the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a 90 pound girl? Because that’s *never* getting old.” - Wash from the movie "Serenity"

(and he just happened to be talking about River Tam, the character played by Summer Glau!)

Well, at least the Sarah Connor premise is an old one. T-2 came out in the early 90s and many were refering to Sarah Connor as Sarah Contra because she was buffed and ready to kick some hind quarters.

[BenLurkin]

she was buffed and ready to kick some hind quarters

Best thing about the movie. Linda Hamilton's character and performance were well thought out and effectively presented. She deserves a lot of credit as an actress, IMO.

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

It was weird, but tonight's episode was one of the scariest things I've seen on TV in a while.

SPOILER:

When Sarah Connor saw that thing in the mirror, it gave me the creeps.

This series might have potential.

[IYAS9YAS]

I don't know. I was disappointed with all the anti-nuke stuff. Her dream sequence about killing the scientists almost made me want to switch it off.

I must have blinked, or not realized something, what did she see in the mirror? Where was it in the show (beginning, middle, end)?

[PapaBear3625]

I would think that having a mom that looked that hot would create “issues” in some 18 year old guys

[BenLurkin]

Last night was good. They have clever writers.

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

I don't know. I was disappointed with all the anti-nuke stuff. Her dream sequence about killing the scientists almost made me want to switch it off.

Did you see the scene in the bamboo grove?

She's facing a moral dilemma and trying to chart course through unknown waters.

I must have blinked, or not realized something, what did she see in the mirror? Where was it in the show (beginning, middle, end)?

It was during her little "date" with geek-boy.

By the way, I think she's pursuing the wrong strategy here.

Instead of destroying all this technology, she ought to be embracing it, learning it, and mastering it.

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

By the way, it might not have been a mirror - it might have been a window.

It happened so quickly, it was hard to tell.

[Tatze]

I saw the first episode this fall on a preview DVD....it really is a good show....$2 million an episode is what I was told...the only reason it was picked up was because the SKY bought it for airing there also.

There's got to be some irony there. A Sky network is picking up The Terminator series.

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

I would think that having a mom that looked that hot would create “issues” in some 18 year old guys

No joke.

And just wait until Summer Glau's "character" starts to explore her "feelings" [her "emotional subroutines" as it were].

Hubba. Hubba.

[Lee'sGhost]

Well, I must agree about Summer. And frankly, if I’m gonna watch a show where stuff gets blown up and bad guys get whacked . . . I want to see a good looking woman do it.

Hey, I like women.

[Lee'sGhost]

A Blazing LOL!

I don’t understand the high school thing. I mean your running for survival, but you got to go to school.
