Aside from the obvious casting difference, which could be understood, I'm pretty pleased with what I saw tonight.The series is set between Terminator 2 and Terminator 3, and I'd assume it would lead up to the eventual death of Sarah Connor, as noted in the third movie. The writers seem to be genuinely putting thought into the storyline, though I hope that's not just for the sake of the pilot, and are exploring/better-defining the things previously stated in the movies. Such as the rules for time-travel, etc.This female Terminator that's guarding John initially had me groaning, because of its show of emotion... but they acknowledged it in the pilot, actually raising it as a question that can be answered later on in the series.All in all, it's the only show I've been interested in following in a long time, and it has a lot of potential for some really good stories, so long as they don't dull anything down. Time will tell, though.
