I.S.T.
As you can tell by the poll choices, I do not expect much from this series.

Edit: Oh, dammit I stuck this in the wrong forum. Could a mod move it?
Thad_theImpaler
done!
Lord Madhammer
lol, it's not like anything's gonna happen with the show anyway. Writers' strike'D!
G.A.S.H.
Wasn't that just Hollywood?
Lord Madhammer
The Writers' Guild is on strike, that's everyone in TV and film.

You know it's got at least 3 episodes in the works, plus the debut date is in January...

Edit: I can't believe how stupid I am, I thanked the wrong mod. Thanks, Thad.

I got to see the pilot episode at Comic-Con. It was awesome. Audience reaction could not have been more positive.

I'm not sure how the quality of the series will hold up over time, obviously, but give that first episode a chance when the show debuts.

Really? Oh well, no big loss...

Eh could be good, but it is kind of a moot point for at least a little while.

They actually have half a season completed--they sat on it as a "mid-season replacement" to counter anything that gets cancelled during the writer's strike.

Some gain, actually. Maybe the late comic books that TV writers were supposed to have done a year ago can finally get finished.

The terminator sent back to protect John Conner, is posing as a teenaged girl. So you know that 80% of the show is going to be about pointless sexual tension between the two of them, which is stupid because in every show that uses the sexual tension formula, the male and female almost never end up having sex. So I really don't understand how this formula generates suspense if it never follows through.

Maybe it's just me but I watch action movies for the action, not a badly slapped-on romantic sub-plot. Sex is good, I just don't see why it has to consume every waking moment of every male of breeding age.

That's why I don't want to go into any detail about my personality, most guys would be too quick to label me as a homosexual.

I was thinking more along the lines of "frustrated virgin".

This is why I just cannot relate to other men. They're too quick to label me since I don't buy into the whole machismo culture of manhood.

But the thing is... We don't.
Sure, Boobs and guns are nice and dandy, but as a rule it's not all we do.

Hell, I go out of my way Not to look at women sexually, but that, I think, is largely me.

Oh, and yeah, we're all macho here, collecting our children's toys, me collected Yu-Gi-Oh cards and still playing and buying Pokemon games...

I feel the same why, a sexy body means nothing without a great personality to complement it.

See what I mean? Even a guy who is into trannies is quick to label another man as "less than straight" just because he wants a woman who is a little more than a living sex toy. I'm honestly starting to get nauseated by this type of mentality.

Oh, so it's more of a zero-sum game. All men obsess over sex, it's just a matter of figuring out what they want to have sex with. Is that what you're getting at?

No as you keep saying WE ARE ALL BEASTS OBEYING PRIMAL URGES, to deny these urges because "I am looking for more" screams of I AM ABOVE ANIMALS.. I see a nice looker, I think ooh id screw it. You see a nice looker and seem to think "ooh whats her mind like?"
SEE
MAN+NICE LOOKER IN VIEW=HUMP
HORNET+NICE LOOKER IN VIEW= DEBATE MORAL ISSUES WITH SELF.
MAN+BEER+WIMMINZ=SEX
HORNET+BEER= guh copy.gif

THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING. If you want a long term commitment, then you should take personality into account. If you're just looking for a good time, grab the first sexy body you see.

So women exist neither for sexual gratification (which ive no problem with as long as both parties are aware) nor are they to be treated with respect in a long term relationship...

Do explain?

The line just can't be drawn that clearly in real life. Wimmins is peoples. Peoples is complicated.

Ah, I get your point.

It read like you were condoning some third option, and I could only think of one other thing.
