It was like the Ghost Rider movie, it wasn't great, but it was still enjoyable.

I can't help but wonder though why these robots don't look out for cars?

The evil Terminator from the pilot got his head shot off after breaking into the vault. And the Conners along with their pet terminator travelled to the "future". However the terminator head travelled with them. This should not be possible, since it wasn't covered with living tissue at the time.

The evil Terminator's body was in a scrapyard for some reason. Don't you think that the US goverment would take it apart for study? They had to have found the body at some point for it to end up in scrapyard, so some human interaction with the body should have happend at some point.

Any thoughts on this?

I think he'd have been cleaned up with the rubble. No one's going to say, "oh, hey, there's a body," since no one would notice a head, and it's also basically just trashed, melted metal, lying around with similar-looking trashed, melted metal from the vault door.

They're programmed to kill. Unfortunately, they weren't programmed to mind their surroundings.

No! My browser crashes anytime I try to go to Youtube! It's been doing that since Friday when my mom made me put a link to the weather site on my bookmarks bar when I was trying to go to Youtube. I guess I'll have to actually watch TV now to see the show.

No worries....

This should play it for you then

Thanks, that's awesome! I still haven't fixed my computer's problem with Youtube. I have that way with machines; whenever my emotions peak, things change. I can cheat at video games that way, too! :grin:

It must be my electromagnetic personality. ;;)

Or maybe God banned me from Youtube for looking at the wrong kind of video…

ROFL!

that's a really good point: any one have the 2 ep.s DVR'd? How many times does someone get hit with a car?....

No one said it was good, just that it was enjoyable. It may be a fine line, but there's a difference....

ChrisR291 wrote:I hope cloverfield is good.

I have almost no hope for this movie. The whole thing is supposed to be filmed on hand cams like the characters are actually recording as they go (kinda like Blair Witch). I hope its good, but I'm pretty sure it will completely suck...

I never saw Ghost Rider Iron Prime but if its decent... I might have to get around to watching it. I just had no hope for superhero movies after watching Spiderman 3, Fantastic Four... BAD MOVIES. The Next superhero movie I see will be Dark Knight

Cloverfield..... Those guys did an excellent job on the teaser trailer which sparked my interests. :wink:

Good thing you don't have a Terminator around to protect you.

Does anyone think John is going to fall in love with the Terminator and Kiss it? I'll put money on it that it happens judging from the first episode. Remember how after she eats the chips, he just sits there checking her out.

Damn... Fox... The conservative Republican channel is going to be giving us Robot sex.

I thought that very same thing as I watched - even made a comment to my wife (who was watching with me)

It's OK. I enjoyed it mostly for the special effects and such. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it, but if the opportunity is there (at a friends, $1 rental, etc) go for it!

ChrisR291 wrote:I just had no hope for superhero movies after watching Spiderman 3, Fantastic Four...

I totally agree!

IF anyone missed Episode 2, Fox just posted it on their Web site!

Iron Prime, wasn't it funny how Sarah saw the whole thing happening? I wonder why she didn't jump in and say

"DUMBASS, its a robot"

THe more I think about it.. its got to happen. No schools, no friends, no GIRLS..... All he's got is Cameron. Did they mention who sent this Terminator back? lol, wouldn't it be funny if he sent her back to himself. :APPLAUSE:

News Credits: 1 · by **ChrisR291** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 11:53 am

I've been watching Episode two for 20 mins and this is what i've noticed

1) Cameron is a T800, the Terminator she is fighting with scans her and you can see the T800 Face

2) Cameron says that two years ago (2005?) Sarah dies from Cancer. Which keeps in line of T3 right? I don't remember the year T3 was released

3) That crazy cuban guy from Scarface is in the episode! I don't remember his name but he was the guy that got hung from the Helicopter.

4) oh and I guess getting hit by cars and having your face go into a wind shield doesn't leave but a couple of scratches on your face.

"Please remain calm."
yeah, that was a bit of a stretch - but I thought it was a hilarious seen.

yeah, It was pretty funny lol! I just finished the episode and sure enough... that guy from Scarface is a snitch again.

What bugged me about this episode is that John doesn't really seem to care about staying hidden. Obviously, he knows the danger that is out there but he continues to ignore everyone.

I love the Computer store scene.. he was like "WOW... HISTORY, INTERNET... WHAT!!!"

Like computers were alien to him.

Well, he is 15....

True - but computers made a HUGE leap from '99 to 2007....
in '99 we had barely made it into the phase where most computers would have a GUI. And the internet was just past its infancy. Now the 'net is filled with pics, flash, java, online shopping....

True True...... Someone should hand John a 360 then because in 99 we only had PS1, N64 and the Dreamcast.

as far as his age... I know he is 15 but, even a 15 year old would know to take it easy if he knew robots are out to kill him.

Computers made huge advancements between 1999 and 2007.

That part was great! I'm interested in finding out how that Terminator survives without any skin.

Again true but I don't think a person who was familiar with PC's would look at them as Alien. Isn't John suppose to be a Computer Savy individual?

Well, he did walk right up to it and get pretty far. And only clearing the history seemed to bother him: but I'm not sure if he wasn't able to do it. I think the scene was maybe supposed to show us that he was freaked out?

Easy, he paints his skull white, puts on some hair and tells everyone that he's Michael Jackson.
