Terminator - Official thread of Awesome and Robots from the Future (Page 2 of 3)

Im finding it quite easy to look past the unrealistic features and im quite enjoying this new series, well the first to episodes.

The most unreal thing for me, apart from the time travel, is how terminators in some instances are super strong and in other instances just normal humans. For example, pulling down a bank safe door takes massive strength, something capable of that power would have a massive mass. Cameron seems to be able to counter him well so we can come to the conclusion shes of similar strength, yet john and sarah managed to pick her up and chuck her out of a window, not to mention sarah hitting her in the face at the old mans house. Would be like hitting a steel girder, she would have broken every bone in her hand.

Anyway, its good .

we're in a bad mood today are we ?

it's a crude mathematical equation involving school holidays, shitty weather, being a single parent and a writer's strike leaving me to watch things i normally wouldn't, coupled with my usually under control post-modernist side forcing it's way to the surface

bad mood? more like overly cynical

trust me, i spew this vitriolic with a smile on my face...

and as painful as i know that can be, it almost sounds like fun...

... and to top things off, i just got back from the emergency room at the hospital where the 7 yo had to get 2 stitches after slicing the side of his wrist open... and now the poor boy is off to the dentist to have two teeth pulled so as to drain an abscess...

still smiling though

oh, no you didn't... if i were a superstitious fellow i'd be reaching for the power button around now...

true dat..

and here we have another thread successfully gone off topic ... though it looks like there is some Terminator-ish talk going on over in the Chuck thread

How about we start a topic about masculinity and than talk about that?

bogart it?

as for the masculine part. i think snoring is very masculine

possibly, haven't heard the Bosnia reference before, and lol, yeah, greatest fear,  but i was going with the 'to hog, not let anybody else have any' definition... it's, in my understanding, a drug culture thing that has moved into popular slang... often used when smoking a joint, and one person 'bogarts' it... came about due to the fact that Humphrey Bogart always had a cigarette dangling from his mouth...

Summer Glau moves like silk.

Summer is a goddess... though i don't particularly find her attractive... odd, yes... what i was impressed by was one of the bonus features on the Serenity dvd, where they show her training for the fight scenes, and because of her dance background, just how easily she picked it up, and the on the commentary where Joss is talking about  just how goddam awesome she is... that fight scene in the cantina is a jaw dropper...

loved her in the Angel episode too, cannae remember it's name, though it was a pretty weak episode, she rocked it

...and, honestly, Objects In Space would have to be one of the best episodes of anything, ever... i have that one permanently on the PSP... must have watched it a thousand times...
