So it was less boring for me.<br /><br />I can't help to notice particularly the religious overtones : guy from the future shot in the chess; cut to the Christ on the cross, also with a wound on the chest...ah huh. I'm Catholic, so these moments jump at my eyes quite easily LOL<br /><br />John' mini moment in the school corridor when he fully realizes that he'll never have a "normal" life was nicely done.<br /><br />Nonetheless, agreeing with your review : this one was a bit of a downer after the 2 previous episodes. But you cannot always be on top of the ride in a roller coaster...so here, it was time to "breathe".<br /><br />Patryk has a good point : always a pleasure to see Dean Norris !<br /><br /> celticmarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018881585193380762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-19275839581402079442012-09-18T05:00:35.112-04:002012-09-18T05:00:35.112-04:00I completely agree with the review, but want to ad...I completely agree with the review, but want to add one thing from a 2012 perspective: Hank from Breaking Bad, yay!Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-22709494519755732282008-09-21T02:01:00.000-04:002008-09-21T02:01:00.000-04:00The only thing I had real difficulty swallowing wa...The only thing I had real difficulty swallowing was the replacement Terminator. It just rbings up so many, many problems. Couldn;t they have just gone up against Weaver pretending to be someone else, instead?<BR/><BR/>I can accept the change though, on a budgetary level. I'm guessing it's cheaper to use less shots -- especially on a show that has to continually prove itself or die.<BR/><BR/>New girl has quite a story to tell. I like her, provisionally, since she doesn't seem to have come out of the ame cookie-cutter mould as most other teenage love interests -- in character or in choice of actress. Dunno why they couldn't have just used old girl though. Or pretended she was the same person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-68109466959858883602008-09-18T13:55:00.000-04:002008-09-18T13:55:00.000-04:00I pretty much agree with Jess' assesment. As far a...I pretty much agree with Jess' assesment. As far as the power plant access, I was even more bothered with how easy Derek entered the plant - not even the lame janitor alibi. Also, Catherine Weaver's phase change in the car made no sense - how about at least waiting till you exit the facility. I also have no use for Ellison's bible thumping. Somehow fundamental christianity and scince fiction (especially cyborgs as proto-humans) just does not mix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-83832120455636324542008-09-18T07:30:00.000-04:002008-09-18T07:30:00.000-04:00Yes, I seem to have a stronger dislike for the epi...Yes, I seem to have a stronger dislike for the episode than most in the fandom. Some other reviews and comments I read didn't think it was as great as the premiere, but liked it just fine. Chalk it up to the introspective, teenage rebellion stuff with John (which I never really enjoy) and some hard to swallow things with the main plot. It just never clicked for me. Maybe if they had done something cool with Derek, I could have gotten past it. :)Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-63222155107715998282008-09-17T20:41:00.000-04:002008-09-17T20:41:00.000-04:00I think I liked it a little more than you did, but...I think I liked it a little more than you did, but I absolutely agree that this one had some major flaws. Infiltrating the nuclear power plant was definitely the big one. And I agree that Brian Austin Green is being wasted. I thought the series jumped up several notches when he was brought in back in season one. And now, nothing.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
