So I caught an early episode when it first aired and was fairly underwhelmed, kind of like, how much milk do they think they can squeeze from this cow anyway? I caught the last Terminator movie on a plane. Same feeling. But I never bothered to delete my Tivo season pass and all of a sudden, the network is airing the show daily and I'm hooked. At least it pretends the third Terminator movie never happened (kind of like Superman Returns ignores all the installments that followed number 2).

I'm not saying this is compelling TV. Often, it feels like a lot of padding. And the writer's strike couldn't have helped much. But one thing is clear. Everybody on this show is so damn pretty.

Lena Heady, who I initially resisted as a baffling replacement for Linda Hamilton, has grown on me even though she mumbles her way through the opening credits voice over. When I found out she was another brit faking an American accent, she was instantly ten times hotter. But everybody on this show looks like they were beat to death with a pretty stick. I'd like to take a long bubble bath with the mom, the son, and the robot... And boy, Brian Austin Green of Beverly Hills 90210 sure has grown up. If he can somehow lower his voice two or three octaves, he may have a future in show business yet.

And finally, Summer Glau, the "good" terminator, must be every dirty old man's dirty little secret. I know she's mine. Yikes!
