Way Better Than Season 1
Don't get me wrong, Season 1 was good. But the way this season went made me love the show even more. The end of Season 1 was the only time I was begging for more. But the end of each of this season's episodes made me want to see what happened next more and more. Congratulations on everyone who made this season awesome!

New Weapons from the Aliens
One of the cool things from this season was the fact we got to see more alien weapons. They end up using biological weapons the majority of the time. At the finale Hal is being controlled by one of their weapons (given to him by getting kissed by Karen).

The Evil Karen
Karen becomes evil this season and I love it. I love her being so evil. I didn't have any real interest in her character before, but once she became evil she was awesome. She seems like she'll be back badder than ever for next season. For that, we thank you.

Final Thoughts
I know this show doesn't have the best graphics, but it more than makes up for it in story. I was glad to see Anne and Tom getting together. Them having a baby? Hopefully that will be dealt with well. My only problem with this show is that it only has ten episodes a season. Making each season very short and me having to wait a year to see what happens next! Oh, and do you people think the new aliens are good or evil?

The Eternal Heart: First Interlude

The memory of John Connor's look at me took over. I forgot every unimportant detail. The fact that he was dead and that I was giving my life story to my fellow comrades. Comrades that, in one timeline, I had been the leader of.

None of that mattered. Why the hell would it? There were people in your life that you could never forget no matter what actually happened. John was my anchor and right now he was doing his anchoring. Even if that was being done beyond the grave.

A sudden cough and all the unimportant details took over me. I turned to see who was the bastard who forced me back into reality. And, of course, it had to be Marty. Turning to look at him I stared. What he had done had been horrible but should I blame him?

I had blamed Sarah Connor for something less and had done far worse. The look in his eyes offered me comfort even when I didn't want them to. In a few seconds I regained the resentment and anger. The bastard wouldn't make me feel if I didn't want to.

I went over the crowd recalling what we had just gone through. Some of them were cute and some I could have feelings for. Especially Lillith who had stood by me for much longer than any sane person would. When I looked at her, her return look was anything but sane. Sitting by her was Tin-Miss whose unemotional face still showed anger.

Tin-Miss, who really had the name of Cameron, was a loyal comrade which was the only reason she was now walking. Well, the only reason I allowed her to walk. That and a part of my history wouldn't allow me to kill her again.

I gathered myself together and looked for the drugged feeling again. Suddenly I was in a room full of idiots and I was the grand jester. There was the person who had killed John, the one who had taken the orders, and the one that had blood lust to make a vampire jealous.

A slight smile returned to my face and I was able to face the crowd once again.

"I know that all those seated here know the end result of this tale." I said. "And that some of these details might seem tedious to you. But it is better that you know what really happened than just rumors. I know there are some juicy rumors that you'd all like to believe."

I leaned forward and smiled and some of my Followers smirked. "But not all of them are true. Now, let's continue my amazing and true story."

Nice Cheesy Fun
This film isn't deep or thoughtful, but it isn't meant to be. It isn't meant to make you think. All you need do to enjoy this is like violence, explosions, and shutting your brain down for a little bit. If you have these qualifications you should enjoy this movie.

First Few Seconds
The first five seconds of this movie makes you very aware of what this movie is. If you hate this movie within five seconds, get out of the theater now because you won't enjoy yourself. Within five seconds I knew I was going to love this movie. And I did!

Chuck Norris
Yes, he is the most bad ass actor in this film. It's surprising because he doesn't have that much screen time. However, you will remember Norris way after the movie has ended. And when I say he is the most bad ass person in the movie...well, you'll just have to see for yourself.

Final Thoughts
I've only really mentioned the action because that's 99.9% of the movie. The rest is the dialogue which isn't anything to write home about. This movie flew by because it was so good. Finally, Jason Statham was awesome in this movie.
