Er, so what's the problem? You did watch the TSCC finale, right?

Anyway, I think my memory is just full of holes and the TX does use nanobots. I should probably watch T3 again.

You mean in the season finale? She didn't control that drone. We have to assume that it was sent by the evolving Skynet.

There is a part in the episode where a piece of liquid forms with her, but that wasn't inside the drone, that was her eel in the aquarium. And the eel was actually part of her.

But if that's not what you're talking about then I'm just rambling uselessly.

Anyways, I am totally looking forward to Terminator Salvation. The recent trailer made it look absolutely epic.

I was totally assuming Weaver was controlling the drone to drive John into trusting here and then jumping with her. I don't know how else she could have gotten him to do that. Maybe it was happy coincidence though that the drone attacked at just that moment.

The drone was stolen from her mid season. Weaver had been hunting the one that did steal it, an ex-employee she was unable to kill in the desert factory where Sarah was shot. He had all the reasons in the world to attempt to kill Weaver and none whatsoever to work with her.

Before I see Salvation, I'm rewatching the past terminators, and just got to T2 tonight. Really, I've forgotten how much I loved that movie. Maybe it's the action scenes, but T2, in my opinion, is a thrill ride, and certainly one of my favorite movies. That, and the extended version Netflix sends includes a deleted scene of John trying to teach Arnold to smile like a normal human

Actually, it looks cool. I saw the special on G4, so I know what I'm talking about.

I saw this at the midnight showing last night.

It was a bit confusing I think, but there wasn't ever exactly a dull moment. It was pretty good, I just don't know where to gauge it among the other three movies yet.

If I have one complaint though (slight spoiler... kind of), how come the terminators had such a hard time killing people hand to hand? I mean, it seems like they should just know how to snap necks, and besides, they are super-humanly strong. They punch humans, and the humans somehow get right back up.

That just didn't seem right.
But this movie was fun.

One of the few good reviews I've seen, it's being slaughtered at rottentomatoes.com

I don't really have any info about TS. I was just tired of seeing ads for Adobe and Autocad on everything. I do plan on going tonight with my wife to check it out, though.

[Claws of Death]

I'm gonna see it on monday, 'cause it's memorial day.

I thought the same thing minus the fun part. They should have been crushing skulls and punching through chests, but I also thought there were quite a few other flaws with this movie. Too many to name. So here are just a few:

SPOILERS

When Connor saw Marcus for the first time why did he act like he'd never seen a flesh covered Terminator before? So it had some organs, big deal!
Didn't he remember his childhood? All the flesh covered Terminators he had encountered before? Or was his childhood so traumatic he repressed the memories? The film would alternate between him screaming "What are you?" to "We've been at war since before I was born." They're Terminators! You've seen what they are capable of! Remember?!
Where were the guard dogs? Connor knew that Skynet would send in infiltration units at some point. He knew about the value a dog provided. Wouldn't he be prepared?
Don't even get me started about the sappy ending. Yeesh.
