I loved BSG from the 1st season finale, because the editing was superb, but the melodrama and complex absurdities of the plot lines have really de-spirited me. I care for the thirty minutes after the episode ends, and then I don't. Maybe that is the zenith of television entertainment, as it seems to be how I feel about every show I watch nowadays.

Terminator is vaguely similar, but I think with this timeline changing they're going into new territory. I just hope Josh Freidman has his mind well wrapped around it, because given another season to play out, it could be stupendous.

One issue is that season 2 is a completely different beast from season 1, almost to the point where they're different shows. No silly high school drama anymore, and now playing serious mind games with the characters. If the future is constantly changing, but the past rarely does, what's the next step?

It's obvious that Shirley Manson is acting outside of SkyNet's umbrella and trying to make the machines more human, even though she herself isn't.

I really want to see where it goes, cause there's a lot of room to manuever.
