The only thing that slightly puzzled me was Cameron mentioned to Sarah that she was sent from 2027. However, Kyle Reese went sent from 2029. Now, how the heck would that work.....the resistance sends Cameron to protect John as a teenager 2 years before they send Reese to protect Sarah before John was born? These time paradoxes are a little confusing.

Thought the pilot episode was enjoyable, but tonight's episode is horrible IMHO.
I watched it on a screener DVD last week and it nearly blew all the pilot's fan credibility out the window.
You'll see what I mean...

I really liked it considering it's a TV show and not a Hollywood summer blockbuster. I enjoyed all the references to T2 and I liked the special effects. I thought having John and his mom naked and in such close proximity was kind of gross though. I don't think this show necessarily negates the events of T3 (which I enjoyed) even if the show takes place in 2007 and T3 took place in 2004. Perhaps John and Sarah's time in 2007 is only temporary: before the show ends, perhaps they will return to their normal time and the events leading up to T3 could still happen as they did.
I think someone mentioned this show could not happen because Sarah, John, Miles and the Governator wiped out all traces of Skynet, Cyberdyne, and the technology back in T2. Well, one of Miles' colleagues could have picked up where Miles left off. I'm sure he didn't work alone on the project. (How else do you explain T3 or the fact that Arnold continued to exist at the end of T2 after the arm and chip were thrown into the acid? Arnold should have vanished on the spot because he was from a future that had just been erased.)

I'm about to put a bullet in my brain watching this tonight. Last night's episode was okay, but this one so far is absolutely sucking. The only highlight is seeing Penny from Lost. THE TERMINATORS ARE COMING TO KILL THE LOSTIES, OH NOES!.

I thought tonights episode was really good. I liked it more then the pilot. Summer Glau is pretty good at the humor here). I dont look at the time line of the movies to the series, I just enjoy the series for what it is. I liked when Summer Glau went flying into the family car. john conner did some stupid stuff leaving the house but I dont nit pick at everything. This is a pretty fun series so far.
I am surprised alot of people here didn't like T3. I thought that was a fantastic movie with a great ending.
Lena Headey and Summer Glau are enough to watch the show they are gorgeous

Summer Glau looked even better with the hoochie-mama makeover.
They screwed up the rules again tonight though. The only reason Terminators were ever able to travel through time was because of their outer living tissue (or simulated tissue) yet here we had the exploded metal Termimator from the vault make it through in their portal with them.

I think Prison Break is a great lead in for this show, because they match each other's ridiculous writing. Just flat out stupid television... but I do like it.

I'm just glad this show has a sense of humor about its characters and history. Cameron mimicking the girl's attitude, and then later getting the E.T. treatment (make-up) were quietly hilarious to me.
