The opening sequence was even more epic than the Ring of Fire finale.

Let me guess your dual tuner DVR is recording High School Musical on ABC and Deal or No Deal on NBC.....

If you absolutely can't watch it tonight, it should appear on Hulu.com before the end of the week.

And interesting interview with the creator of the show is over at Wired.com, it's titled "Sarah Connor Creator Talks Killer Bots, Cyborg Sex, Surviving the Future"

Cool. A T-1000 (?) ! (The question mark is more for "Is it a T-1000 or a different type of liquid metal model?")

when i saw all of last season i wondered why the Terminators weren't more T-1000ish. i was so waiting to see the end of tonight's episode. the show killed it in the last minute. that was awesome!!

also, i think she sang the opening song.

I had her pegged as a terminator after her "it'll change the world" line
but I didn't have her pegged as a T1000

The beginning song is called "If I Had My Way I'd Tear This Building Down" and was originally written by Blind Willie Johnson.

Sounded like Manson's voice singing it.

I didn't care for Shirley Manson's character... she was a bit too annoying for my tasted.

Spoiler:
Besides that, I liked it. I'm surprised no one mentioned the relationship between John and Cameron yet, but that was foreshadowed to a degree in season 1. It doesn't bother me I have to say, I mean she is extremely attractive so it does make sense in a way that his hormones are in control.

I'm also very curious as to how Agent Ellison will play in all of this. I'm happy he is still there, I like him, he really adds something to the show


John's new hair looks great, no more emo look and he definitely has a bit of Bale to him.

I totally forgot it was on tonight, and thus, missed it.

Guess that makes another show I won't be watching on TV this season.

Hopefully,as the seasons progress, we'll see more development of his character into the leader that he is suppose to be. Not sure if it will be on the same level as Wesley's transition on Angel, but I hope it comes pretty close.

You should be able to watch it online, no?

So Shirley Manson likes to get peed on, eh?

And hopefully Sarah will return to what she was in T2 and cease the super emotional thing.

I thought it was a very "meh" episode. Hopefully it's just because the events that transpired were building blocks in some capacity. Richard Jones, Garret Dillahunt and Shirley Manson might be the ones to tune in for. Their characters just seem to be a hell of a lot more interesting than Sarah, Cameron and John. We'll see. The reveal at the end was pretty cool, and I was glad that they cut out the voice over crap; let's hope they stick with it.

the volume was a bit low on my OTA HD, but it looked good
I tried listening to the audio over the cable feed since that goes through my stereo but it was at least 5 seconds behind

Damnit - I was hoping he would torch her.

What a mediocre premiere.

Loved it! Thought it was great from start to finish, although I was hoping she would cap him.

Ughhh, it will appear on Hulu.com before the end of the week. You don't need to throw in the towel yet. Unless you have something against watching it on your computer. Set your DVR for next week.
