So, I've just seen this tonight. I wasn't plannin' on it, but I happened to tune into it just as it started.
I have to say it wasn't that bad... for a FOX fare it was definetly great ('cause most of FOX is crap, ha ha). I expected a snarky, whiney John Connor (it'd be faithful to T2, but c'mon now). While I'm all for strong female character, I had expected ball bashing amazons, and while the Feminator was a bit too... human (still bit wooden, but I still could chalk this up to her being a poor actress) she wasn't terrible.
The plot wasn't really engaging, but stayed true to the formula.
As for special effects... They were decent. Good thing they hadn't decided for a show til now.
The big thing is: Like I pointed out, the Feminator is a bit more life-like than previous iterations, and givin that this
is network television, I expected some pervese relationship between John and his robo bodyguard. I may be right, though, at one point she ate a chip, hinting at some organic quality to her, which means THEY'RE DEFINITELY GETTING IT ON.
What would you have given it?
EDIT: Yeah, I realise I misspelled chronicles
