"Well I'm worried about the introduction of Catherine Weaver and John's Girlfriend. All of the old characters were good characters. With new characters you have the potential for introducing bad characters, is all... However, the idea of a T-1000 model terminator is exciting.

I missed Sarah Connor's voice overs. I really do. From last season, the parts about how she became obsessed with scientist, for example, really added a lot imho.

I'm glad to hear about the drop of the highschool story arc. Highschool seemed to pale in importance to the reality of the situation, and an extensive story arc just because John is still hanging out in highschool to try to avoid attracting attention felt like a damper in the seriousness of show. I like the idea of the scope of the show being larger.

I really like knowing that we see John growing more, and that there are still complex issues between the characters of Charley, Derrek, and Sarah. And of course, that we still have all the good stuff of Chromartie and Elison from last season makes me feel good. I'm glad Sarcissian didn't end up being a major villian or anything, just wouldn't have seemed right to have random human bad guy just because he's bad sticking around. Like before, I like the feeling that the show has a larger focus than that.

Since it is only been one episode, that's all I can really say."

"Catherine Weaver charater is a great addition, not just because she is a T1000, but because this character shows that Skynet is really fighting a war against the mankind instead of just sending random terminators to their doom against the Connors. This really adds a layer of depth to the inner workings of the Skynet (provided Shirley Manson can deliver that).

Reily, on the other hand, is a bit too much by my impression...anti-Cameron is just begging for trunk time IMO."

"I hope they keep that sense of humor this season. It looks like they will be judging by Cameron's "Girls are complicated" line. ^^"

"Ok, now that it's been another week... Anybody got anything to say? :)

It seems like there's a lot of "mehs" going around for the second episode and there seems to be a split on people liking or hating Riley and people liking or disliking the "new" Cameron.

I thought the second episode was good. Not my favorite, but it was still good. It had its moments. :D I LOVE the new Cameron (of course i'd love Cam no matter what! ^^) and Riley i'm just ok with. I don't hate her, I don't love her. She's just there for now.

I do miss the Sarah voice overs, and I still can't used to the "Scary Voice Over Guy" that says the credits. The show feels different now... I don't think it's necessarily a bad difference. People shouldn't judge so fast! I think everything will come together with more episodes. I'm really excited for episode 4! :)

I mean COME ON! Samson and Delilah was AWESOME. Automatic for the People may not have been the most memorable episode ever, but it wasn't bad. I consider it as more of a transitional episode than anything. Kinda like Gnothi Seauton was in Season 1. (I really liked Gnothi though. I think it was one of my fave episodes last season!) "

"Obviously, Season 2 different from Season 1. Everything from the visual effects to the opening title sequence to the character development has radically changed.

So what do you guys think of these changes? Do you like them? Do you hate them? Do you miss some things that were in Season 1 that are no longer around for Season 2?

Samson and Delilah already had an extremely different feel from any of the first season episodes. For one thing this is the first episode to not have any voice over from Sarah and I also think this was the first episode that didn't have any funny moments or jokes (unless you count the toilet gag!) With the introduction of Catherine Weaver we can already see we're going to be jumping around to different characters a lot more often as well. Plus, we have new "big bad" running around and she's the CEO of a major AI company AND she's a T-1001!!!

And of course everyone's attitudes are gonna be completely different!

Granted, it's only been one episode, but I was hoping to hear what you guys thought about the changes you've see so far. Personally, I like it. The scope of the show seems larger and everything is just bigger and better! However, I somehow felt like the show was a little less personable without Sarah's voice overs. I didn't particularly like them last season, but I find myself a little less connected to her character for some reason. It's like she's no longer telling the story or something. Anyone else feel this way? "
