I REALLY like the show. The problem with the show is I think that many thought they'd see 2 definite characters and so far they really are showing the same character. It was advertised as Henry being the loving family man and Edward being the dangerous spy. I don't think that they've defined each character. IT seems to be all spy but none of the Henry. This is great for those viewers that just want to see things get blown up but some of us want a story too. I hope it improves on this. I love Christian and I am rooting for NBC. BTW, I don't think that all the showings on the net and other channels are helping it out with the numbers. My Own Worst Enemy- Sorry to see it losing viewers. I REALLY like the show.

Using the child psychologist to analyze Sky Net was brilliant. Also liked how Catherine Weaver & John crossed paths at the same psychologist's office...finally linking the 2 story lines. Whether stand alone or heavily serialized, TSCC is producing some great stories. I liked last night’s TSCC ep. Using the child psychologist to analyze Sky Net was brilliant.

I really don't see how it can be confusing if you have an average IQ. And, I completely disagree about this weeks show being not good. It had a lot of intersting character and plot development. It was a very good episode. I don’t know how anyone can be confused about all the new terminators and characters if you watch the show every week.

An attempt that obviously failed, because regular viewers rightfully started complaining about disjoint storylines. It's been said though, that this was the last "Terminator of the week" episode. And in the big picture, things are <i>not disjoint, so for regular viewers things will (and to an extent already have) fall into place to create an overall story.</i> The stand-alone TSCC episodes were seem like an attempt to bring in new viewers even into the season, not just at the beginning.

Usually Cameron and the other Terminators are pretty evenly matched. I do agree with you though... last night's episode wasn't as good as I would have hoped. And I also think that this season is a bit disjointed. The first season flowed together seamlessly. This season though, it seems people are just randomly popping up for certain episodes and then disappearing for the next couple (ie Cromartie). Probably due to the fact that they have to stretch the plot out to fill 23 episodes or whatever the number is, but hey, won't complain about that! Definitely want as many episodes as possible. ;) Well Outlander, I think that Terminator in last night’s ep was an older model so that’s why Cameron was able to totally own her (which I didn’t mind seeing for a change, lol).

Look at Tuesdays: NCIS and House, Mentalist and Fringe, compete against each other and divide viewers nearly equally. TSCC should be competing at this timeslot–c’mon this is TERMINATOR.

Though, I thought last night's Terminator episode was pretty bad. There are so many characters and so many Terminators of the Week that I can't keep all the characters straight (i.e. the scene at the end where John breaks the one dude's neck -- I didn't know that was Sarkissian -- I had to rely on a message board afterward to clue me in), I don't really care about them, and now I am not even particularly afraid of Terminators because Cameron can apparently twist them into pretzels without breaking a proverbial sweat. Grumble grumble grumble. Why….WHY…

Why can't Terminator get good ratings? *coughtimeslotcough* All I know is that one person at that forum who blamed Terminator for Prison Break's low numbers... honestly, can that be any more stupid? If anything, TSCC gives PB viewers since it leads into it. I honestly don't see how it could SUBTRACT viewers from the show. Man, I really wish TSCC would have a good lead in. C'mon Fox, you picked up the full season which is excellent, now just move it to Wednesdays after Bones and I'll dub you the best network ever. :D By the way, when does Dancing With the Stars end? Gwaaa! Why can’t Terminator get good ratings? *coughtimeslotcough*

Seriously the previews NBC and FOX use to promote them do not do them justice. If you're in any way inclined towards the geek set (Chuck) or love a thoughtful sci-fi plot (Terminator), give them a try. Every single person I have loaned the DVD's (of both shows) to has become hooked almost immediately. And the thing is, both of their first seasons were so short, you'll burn through them and be caught up in days. Both Terminator and Chuck are not what people expect them to be.
