variable quality, terminated.

There are some very good episodes in this series, but also some very weak ones, which is a pity as the cast are gorgeous to look at, and there is plenty of range available in the concept. Unfortunately, some things are just too awful for me to not comment on, so let me give some tips to the team, in case this franchise or similar ever gets revived. In real life, humans take time to heal from injuries, and they end up suitably disabled, especially if they have been shot and not had proper medical care or physiotherapy. The series tried to explain Cameron's remarkable recoveries by having her state that Terminators heal much quicker than humans. However that doesn't explain Derek or Sarah's recuperations! Also, its amazing that Terminators were sent back to protect John Connor, with a secret switch inside them that could turn them evil, but which could be reset to good.. by turning them off and on again. It works for microsoft.. but not in a series about killer robots. That's enough whining for now. The characters in this series are engaging and evolved nicely, so it was a pity that a third series was not commissioned. I would have happily watched series 3 if it had carried on the way series 2 had developed.
