Yep, divergent timelines is pretty much the only way you can explain the paradoxes in the Terminator series.

Yeah.
I was gonna say, "Have you guys forgotten the lessons in time travel we learned from Samantha Carter? Parallel Universes and all that."

I've downloaded the pilot but haven't watched it yet. Are there actors from the Sci-Fi channel rotating cast? Ben Browder? Don S. Davis?

I kind of liked it. With all the half-naked women and boob jokes in the pilot, I was kind of afraid this was just another batch of prurient drivel starring hopelessly beautiful, semi-naked people. Like what Smallville has been lately.

But there was more than enough blood, guts, and time-traveling-robot violence to satisfy those of us with more "mature" tastes.

I just hope they don't toss her out any more windows. Slapstick has no place here.

And if they have J.C. make it with a robot, my head asplode.

I wonder if she is fully functional.

I also wonder if they're going to try that.  Maybe her primary mission is to collect a "sample" so a clone can be made.

Well, you can't make a clone from semen though. They could just take some blood and they'd have a good dna sample for a clone.

Yeah, I realized that after I posted.

Well, in any case, they sure were quick to trust that robot.  She's going to have some sort of ulterior motive I'm sure...

I wouldn't be shocked if she were 'fully functional'. The reactions of people to the nekkid Arhnuld seems to imply that he is not built like a ken doll down there.

Why would a scientist build a robot that looks like a sexy female, and NOT make her functional?

The first use of humanoid robots is going to be some human-robot loving.

I'll pick Melanie Griffith instead.

Don't terminators weigh hundreds of pounds?  I wouldn't want her riding me.  She'd crush my pelvis into little pieces!

Apparently not. Notice how easily they threw her out of the window.

Bought the pilot and the first episode from iTunes. I really have no basis for comparison as I've been outta the TV loop for years, but I liked 'em.

Pardon me for asking, but what's J.C.?

The pilot was a free download on iTunes recently.

And both episodes are free on Fox's website, in HD quality.

Do you really need them on your iPod that badly?
