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

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.

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.
