[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] It has potential. Pilots are often a bit dodgy on the characterisation and dialogue fronts while the actors and writers get a feel for their characters, so no surprise in that department. One thing I did like is that whoever is writing this has done their homework on Terminator lore. The dogs, the barcode tattos, it seams to hold up quite well. At the very least they watched the movies & took notes, which is good. The only problem I have is how did Chrome Dome's (as he shall henceforth be known) head make it through the time vortex sans flesh? Something of interest; I noticed the Terminator in the second episode didn't recognise Cameron (his HUD said "Unknown Cyborg") so either he's from an earlier point in time from when she was manufactured or she's something new. My money is on her being designed and built by the resistance themselves, if not John himself. Why not? In the "original" timeline Tech-Com managed to destroy Skynet's defense grid and enter the main complex, which is where they found the time displacement equipment and a freezer full of T-800s with one missing. So in whatever alternate future this series is heading towards/trying to avoid maybe they got their hands on an manufacturing facility aswell, turning Skynet's weapons against it. Speaking of the future, it seams as if the war against the machines have become a temporal game of chess (first person to say temporal cold war gets a kick to the back of the head) as the resistance obviously have been able to hold onto their timer machine this time round (in the Original timeline they blew the whole complex after Reese & "Uncle Bob" went through.) Not only that they understand the technology enough to be able to send back someone who can recreate it with 20th Century technology. From this we can only assume that the future ground war has reached a stalemate with both sides now resorting to time travel sleeper agents to out manoeuvre the other. [QUOTE]I never really got the same feeling of impending doom from Cromartie that I did from the 800 and 1000 models.[/QUOTE]Not to split hairs, but this is the kind of common misunderstanding that bugs me. Cromartie is a T-800, as are all the flesh covered exoskeleton cyborgs we've seen. Arnie was Model-101 of the 800 series, so presumable this chrome dome, the other one in the second episode and the one from Kyle's memory (in the first movie) were just different models of the same series. Which is good for the actors/stunt guys on this show because they can do a Cylon and kill them as often as they like, Skynet is all about mass production. [/QB][/QUOTE]
