Disappointing start...., 13 January 2008
3/10
Author: gbozoki from Dallas, Texas

Having seen the pilot of this series, I wonder how long it'll be before it falls totally apart. As much as I love T1 and T2 (I liked T3, too, although it was notably weaker than the original movies), this TV series has nothing to offer after the pilot and thinking about the possible story lines, there doesn't seem to be a lot of free paths to take.

I think acting in the pilot was pretty bad, the silly one-liners sounded cheesy (maybe for a younger ADD-crowd?) and the plot is already full of holes, after only one episode.

I don't want to go into more details (don't want to waste more time on it.) I admit, I'll probably watch a few more episodes to see if I'm proved wrong, but the future doesn't look bright to me for this series. It's kind of sad, it could have fair amount of potential.
