You would think in the future after making these high tech cyborgs that veiwing through their eyesight there would not be a ny glitches or static in there video. I have a outside security camera that does better than their eyesight. And why do all the shows have to have a "cliff hanger"? Why not a normal episode. If fans are really into the program they will be waiting for the next season. Now thats a new stratagy for hollywood.

Can you lower the tone on the drama of hatred especially against the not blown up Cameron.

Last can you pass on a message to Lena for me? I'd like to go out with her sometime. She can email me back. 3  out of 20 found this valuable. Do you?

You sir, are a very confident man. I also take it, you are a member of the USMC? Semper Fi, man! Thanks for defending our country, whether you're active or retired.

I hear Lena Headey is a pretty tough cookie. Can you handle her? I know the producer looks at this forum. Maybe he'll pass it on.

As for the video glitches, I think that is simply a dramatic license they take to make sure the dumb viewers realize that they are looking through the Terminator's eyes and what they are seeing are the tactical displays.

Cliff hangers are an age-old television device. Sadly, many shows lose viewers when there isn't some kind of gimmicky hook to draw them back in week-to-week (these are probably the same type who LOVE reality shows). So the cliff hanger is here to stay.

Drama of hatred? Most of the posts I see are ones of undying love for Cameron. Seriously, though. Forums are like that - hating on everyone. Gotta take the good with the bad. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

hmmmmmmm im willing to bet that lena's gonna answer that question very fast, & u won't even have 30 seconds to explain :P

& duk why the hell would u want a desert eagle for any thing but display? it's not a practical gun AT ALL. the kick is so much, that no one can maintain a effective rate of fire, you cant keep your sights on your target. the clip is relatively small comparing to moder side arms and during low light conditions, the first shot would blind you cause the flash is too big. it's only a good gun in movies. glock do look butt ugly but the reliability and practical use in urban engagement will keep it around for a long long time
FN Five-seveN is nice, but the 5.2mm ammo it uses is illegal in canada.....so i cant have one :***( 0  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

Down here in Kansas City MO area brushie and steep hills they work fine. We down here rely on hitting our target the first time not relying on BIG magazine. I like hitting what I aim at. The 1911 is a nice pocket gun. 0  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

Glock are like having sand in tigger and the pull of the trigger way way to much. Simple and silky smooth is a real gun. 3 to 4 lbs pull is fine NOT 12 to 15 lbs. A glock is like a Meucci pool cue just fnuikcg junk. The glock main problem is being politically correct . Ploitically correct is just plain EVIL. 0  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

Hey, all,

Love the series!

Re. the 'video glitch' thing, it could be that "Termo-vision" only really needs to 'sample' some of the video images, and the 'fluff'/snow seen is other data like temperature, mission priorities, internal resources, etc., and/or like compressed DVD data needing only 'keyframes' and other, smaller 'P' and 'B' frames.

The big question in my mind is why everyone keeps trying to shoot the terminators with standard weapons?

Why don't they try a Taser-like electric gun, given that we know that the terminators have to shut down for 120 seconds then re-boot?

Could allow enough time to pull out the chip from the bad 'bot, or at least run away.

Why not 'mace' terminators with black spray paint? Or black sticky-foam?

Why didn't the T888's isotope power cells explode when Cameron incinerated it with the thermite? For that matter, why didn't the roof of the garage melt? Also, why not just leave the 'flesh' on the T888 before incineration? Why not reprogram the T888? Or at least give John/Sarah an 'anatomy' lesson as to how to better incapacitate a terminator?

Don't get me wrong, however, like I said, love the show!

That good I am glad for you and the glock. The glocks I have been around I could not get past the trigger pressure and trigger pull. Kill shot and smooth trigger action was expressed as most importance that all. 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Thanks for your input and I defer to your greater knowledge of fire arms since pistols are outlawed here in the UK. I expressed a view regarding the Glock since from what I have read it seemed to be an excellent military pistol - easy to maintain with few moving parts and a good magazine capacity. 0  out of 2 found this valuable.

Thanks for not chewing my head off. The glock is just Hi-Tec [fad] and has a New York trigger. It has plastic parts I do not find fault with the plastic parts. All of the glocks I have used the trigger was stiff and gritty it was like I was using a barbell for my finger. The crowd I run with say the same. A hollywood and a novice gun. Military pistol means The gun in question passed the army-navy fields trials. Than means the gun was packed in mud, sand, and what ever else then washed in dirty water and the gun would fire. Accurate afterwards be real close to target. Your last sentence I agree with. I give the glock a below adverags rating. 0  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

Because they use Glocks in the prog'. The argument was over the relative merits of the pistol and why they would select that particular pistol over various alternatives.
It strikes me personally that in order to deal with the T888 an investment in some sort of Grenade launcher if they are to confront a T head on but I don't know enough about American gun laws to know if that would be feasible.


Personally I am more interested in speculation over the nature of the processors used by the Cyborg/Androids. It is unusual in requiring such a high voltage. Why would there chip require such voltage when current chip design is aimed at minimising power consumption. Do you find this valuable?

Yea you could have one but, BIG brother wants you to have a permit. We have all kinds of gun laws. The bad guy do not care about gun laws. Gun laws are only against lawfull America. all gun laws are a chicken joke. Hiperformance allways needs more power that the way it is same with Terminators. Do you find this valuable?
