I liked EP 2 more than the first one. We still need to get into the Mythos, and I thought that Cameron was modeled after his wife the first time I saw her! I didn’t realize it was theory that was already floating around. Sweet!

And I love that they named her “Cameron” – on obvious nod to James Cameron, who directed the first movie. Sorry if someone pointed that out already.

Hey, DELLs are great PCs. I had one, we have them at work and my church has one. I’m tired of those PC vs. MAC commercials. I am PC Guy

I’m not even going to talk how the iPod sucks. Apple isn’t the only tech company.

It’s funny how John didn’t know everyone could see what he was doing as it was displayed on all the other monitors.

TvA lol at the Julie from FNL comment. She is annoying the hell out of me too.

Dave: One-liners are kind of the cornerstone of the Terminator franchise. “Come with me if you want to live” and “I’ll be back” are/were probably the best known and oft-repeated one-liners ever.

ya…. him walking in to a Apple Store would have been much better……. and yes he is only 15 yrs old……. 15 yr old guys are snoopy little brats and like to get in trouble….. He is a Juvenal and he should be givin some slack.

I’m glad some of you agree with what I touched on yesterday about Lena, she can’t be all tough all the time that would actually be unrealistic in every way. Lena is doing a good job, and as I said before- she will be what makes this work or not.

Episode 2 was better than the first, in that it sucks you in a bit more, which is what a show should do.

Anyone picking up on the Star Trek TNG version of Data their making Cameron out to be. I agree with there being a connection between Cameron and John, ie: his wife perhaps. Although I hope it’s a bit more than that. I’m surprised Sarah hasn’t picked up on or questioned the things Cameron knows, which seem to be a bit too perpersonal for just programming reasons.

All in all, so far so good!!

P.S. As I said yesterday and agree with some of you, they need to put a gun in Johns’ hands and beef him up a bit not too much though or show a bit more maturity. He may only be 15 but he’s not a typical 15 yr. old.

Liz,

I think it’s the writing. Thomas Dekker can act. He just needs to be given something interesting to do. And truthfully I think we’re all nitpicking. Creator Josh Friedman is no dummy and he undoubtedly has a plan for John.

I’ve really liked it so far (the second episode more than the first, even). My only problem is with John’s whiny obnoxiousness, as others have mentioned, and I can’t decide if that’s the writing or Thomas Dekker’s portrayal (or, more likely, both). At any rate, hopefully he’ll grow out of it sooner, rather than later.

what a suckie show, one line dialog which is geared for the inelegant. Catch phrases are a sure killer for a show.
John seems to have a problem acting, the lack of a convincing roll as a teen in transition.
Lena is seems to hold down the fort somewhat with her rolls as a caring mom but loses it with the inability to be convincing that she knows John holds the key to the future.

Shanna,

Totally agree about Lena. Nothing seems weak about her.

As well, John has to grow up. Who does he think he is? Julie from FNL?
