I was 13 years old when T2 came out, I remember I was blown away. Later I watched T1 and again, I was blown away, I liked it even better that T2 and I consider it a real classic, a hell of a movie.Many years past and I did not bother to watch what came next, I knew it could not equal T2, much less T1. I remember seeing the trailer of T3 and hating it because it seemed so lame, but I never saw the film.Few weeks ago my interest got reignited, and I watched T3, so disappointing as I expected. Then I watched T4 expecting nothing and it surprised me, actually it was much better than expected. Then I saw all two seasons of TSCC and it was REALLY good. I felt sorry that they did no continued the series, it was very addictive.Today I saw T5 and I felt sorry again, even worse than T3I hope someone picks up TSCC and continue in that direction.

This series felt like different writers wrote episodes without anyone overseeing the general direction of the show. The main narrative was disjointed, with seemingly important threads suddenly dropped or changed - a stone cold, evil Terminator suddenly becoming part of some kind of alternate Skynet, good machine group, for example.Glaue, who played the teen girl Terminator, was surely perfect for the part. As shown in Firefly, she's unable to act with any real human emotion, so she was perfect as an emotionless Terminator. She just played it exactly like she played her Firefly character, which is the way she plays every character thanks to her limited acting ability.SC in this has been morphed into a semi-hardened soccer mom who doesn't have any kids playing soccer.This series crapped on much of the Terminator established canon - including having a liquid metal Terminator wipe out a T800 (or some kind of solid Terminator) so easily there shouldn't have been a Terminator 2.As bad as this was, little did I know it would pave the way for such television litter as the superhero series without superheroes like Agents of BORE (SHIELD) and Gotham.A moment typical of this series was the supposed cliffhanger of the female, teen terminator blown up in a car. By that time, we had seen terminators survive much worse, so there was no doubt she survived. But the show played it as "OMG, she's deeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddd!"

This is by far the best TV show I have ever seen. I am a big fan of Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and House of Cards, but T:TSCC has them all beat.I promise you, the story line comes together in the end. You need to give it a chance. I was bored and on the fence by the third episode myself, but boy am I glad I stuck around for episode four because there was no going back at that point. Within one episode I was hooked!The reason this show only made it to season 2 is because people like those who gave up on it on episode 3 really hurt the shows following. Word of mouth spreads fast, and unfortunately those that left so early were not able to see the potential after episode three.Every single person cast for this show was perfectly picked. Garret Dillahunt and Brian Austin Green truly make this show what it is. Who would have thought that dorky kid that played David on 90210 would turn out to be such an amazing actor?? I was floored! He's fantastic.Please give this show a chance. I have never met a single person that stuck around for episode 4 that does not think this show is amazing. I've also never advocated for a show of any kind the way I am with this one. It is truly special.If not, all I can say is, it's your loss. And a big one at that.

Its different, i know that. If you are expecting an exact same replica of Terminator 2 then you are in the wrong place. It focuses less on action and more of the emotional side of the whole ordeal, I'm not saying that it hasn't got action in it because it has plenty! The action scenes don't follow too much on James Cameron's massive flay explosions and focus more on Terminator vs Terminator Mellie fighting and on the guns, but unfortunately doesn't quite live up to the state of the art visuals of T2, mostly because of the budget constraints... the visuals mainly suffered when it showed full CGI indiscreetness or when it showed people shooting lasers at HKs or just in general really. Even though the characters are different to the originals, I reckon the actors bring on a new side of them. Some acting that I would have nag about is that of the Terminators that are sent back, they just don't get it. I mean some of them are actually really good (e.g Garret Dillahunt as Cromatrie/John Henry, Summer Glau as Cameron and the machine from Sarah's dream in the pilot episode: Aaron Cash.) Others just can't do it, I know they're robots but when they walk and talk they aren't completely robotic, some of the people just presume that their movements are stiff and limited but they can actually move quite freely (like humans). So overall this show brings a lot of warmth and humanizes the Terminator franchise
