That sounds cool, but we all know that they don`t stop it and she dies of Cancer. I guess its more about the journey or are they not staying with the T3 continuity?

I don't think they are acknowledging T3 at all.

That's the small irony here, EvilMonkey, by what scribe Josh Friedman has said in regards to the show..

After all, the same creators behind T3 are the ones making this show..Mario Kassar, Andrew Vajna and their C2 Productions which created T3...

Ponyboy, according to Friedman, a writer attached to the show..He has the first three seasons planned out and this series will be an alternate timeline to T3 which is definitely plausible with how murky timelines in the Terminator franchise are...

Once you go out of continuity it's all crap and fanboys will hate it thus a canceled show.

Had this series taken an interesting turn and focused strictly on the war itself, my curiosity just might have been sparked.

The time-travel bit has been overdone to the point to where I really doubt fans of the films will really give a crap about this series. Just how many times did Skynet feel it had to send back yet another machine to destroy Sarah and John? And just how many times were the humans going to send back a "kinder, gentler" machine to protect them (that's also conveniently weaker than the one out to kill them)?

Regardless of continuity, or whether or not it has creative ideas that somehow link films 2 and 3, I'm tired of it. Kassar and Vajna have literally gone and anally raped what Cameron created for us back in 1984/1991.

Its gonna be on at 8pm central time? What the fuck? What about FAMILY GUY?

Count me in on this one, I'll be more than happy to pretend T3 never happened. The film sucked ballz from the moment Arnold suddenly had two pocket nukes tucked away in his gut. I thought Skynet couldn't send back BOMBS?! And it seems like they're gonna approach the series in the way T3 should've been...with the inevitable development of Skynet and the Connors out to stop it. Maybe end the series similar to T3, but have Sarah lie to John as she goes to try and stop Skynet by herself and gets caught up in the nuclear holocaust, much like in her dreams...

T3 was an OK action movie, but a huge disappointment after the first two movies. This series will blow. I'm guessing it won't make it through the entire first season. Especially given that it's on FOX. They'll pull the plug after 4 episodes...

I've seen the pilot (and you can too, if you have a bittorrent), and it's better than I expected. The plotting is pretty instense, and this would make a nice companion piece to "24". The first episode ends with a surprising twist that I thought was kind of cool, and sets up the series with a weird timeline.

You'll probably watch it. You'll probably like it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was very weird to have all the T3 people do the show and ignore the movie they made.

I liked T3 as pointless fun, but the show's pilot is better than the movie.

But Fox will wreck this show like they have wrecked every other. Instead of showing it after The Super Bowl and having another hit on their hands they want House to make them even more money.

I think it should premiere after The Super Bowl and then be shown on Mondays with 24, they would be great together. Sunday at 9pm is a death slot now for Fox, someone needs to tell Fox that.
