Okay, you got me

Sarah Connor Chronicles, you had me at hello.

But you had me like a filthy slut as soon as Derek showed up. He had three lines, acted like a douche the entire time, and ended the one episode I've seen with him in it so far dead. (Literally, but temporarily, I'm sure.) So, naturally, what with the emotional reticence, tendency towards self-sacrifice, and the fearsome injury, I'm salivating over this character already. I am going to pretend that it's because I'm that easy for Michael Biehn and this is a whore-by-association thing.

BUT IT IS NOT. WTF, SELF? BRIAN AUSTEN GREEN? WHY AREN'T WE ASHAMED?

And I still haven't written my Heroes review!

Cameron: definitely becomes "more" in S2 - and it is fantastically creepy.

Lena Headey: I had problems with her at the beginning too, but different though her portrayal may be, it has a lot of merit that is easier to appreciate later in the show. By now, I love her.

Future stuff: Not to give away too much, but a big conceit of the show's is that this ain't Kyle Reese's Skynet. It isn't built by Cyberdyne anymore, thus it's a different animal altogether: future war included. Not to mention, everything Sarah and company do in the past changes the future, and affects Skynet's development and birth process. Cameron is the first evidence of Skynet's considerable advancement since their meddling. The suddenly wide-open time-door is another. What's fascinating is that so much remains the same, centering of course around John, who is always the leader in every iteration.

And I'll shut up now because I'm going to be a spoilery fieeeend if you let me go on too long!

Gonna have to watch them spoilers, yes :)

I'm not dismissing it out of hand despite its faults, so the fact that it gets better is a bonus, not a necessity. We'll see where the future takes me.
