I've only seen a handful of TOS, but am trying to fix that before the movie - just saw "Mirror Mirror" for the first time last night, and I now appreciate The Middleman's "Palindrome Reversal Palindrome" so much more! The FatBoy logo with the sword through it! Ahahaha...
Anyway, I welcome a must-see list for TOS, please, kthx.

My ranking of ST movies, in case anyone cares at all:
1) Wrath of Khan
2) The Voyage Home
3) First Contact
= big void here between 3 and 4 =
4) The Motion Picture
5) The Undiscovered Country
6) The Search For Spock
= huge void here between 6 and 7 =
7) Insurrection
8) Generations
= even larger void here between 8 and 9 =
9) Nemesis
= infinitely large void here between 9 and 10 =
10) The Final Frontier

Well expressed. The biggest problem with this series, which otherwise seems to be coming along surprisingly well, is the characterization written for the mid teen version of the upcoming 'savior' of humanity. Thus far there are no hints that person resides at all in this really disgusting teen that needs to be slapped about enough to get him to start looking past himself. Hard for a teen, no doubt, but many manage it just fine. If anything will get me to stop watching this program, it is the depiction of John Connors, and I doubt I am alone in this. The series concept people need to rethink and change directions for the writers.

Also really not sure I like the Biblical references. It's done rather well, but just not sure I like what it implies.

Basically I feel like with all the over protection Sarah has been giving John, she's essentially making him soft. I mean I understand him staying alive is rule number 1 on the agenda list but just as Derek made clear in the episode about the guy at military school, it won't matter if he stays alive if he doesn't become the man he's supposed to be.
What makes me fell better about it though is the fact that Derek has hinted at this before and basically outright said it this episode (the comment about him becoming more John Baum than John Connor). So hopefully they'll actually deal with that and start letting John loose.

I agree with Mooshie - the little terminator behavioral quirks and slight detaisl that the writers keep slipping in are great.

It's too bad that Sarah is the one that keeps creating liabilities in the future. She rags on John for attempting to be "normal", yet lets loose ends wander around for Skynet to capture and interrogate. First she didn't kill the creator of the Turk, now Guitar Hero kid.
Linda Hamilton wouldn't even have blinked.
