It's amazing what a contrast Sarah Connor is to Cersei Lannister, like two completely different people
That show was so hit or miss. There'd be a string of boring episodes where nearly nothing would happen, I'd feel like almost giving up on the show, then BAM!, an episode that blew you away.

Arrow on CW right now is kind of the same way.

Yeah, Arrow has kind of settled into a status quo it feels like. They need to shake things up. That's why I enjoy Nikita. Always big things happening on that show it feels like. The Sara Connor Chronicles did have one of the most memorable character deaths ever though

Apparently so, but right now it's just a pilot so we'll have to see if anything comes of that.

You can look at it as a cliffhanger, but after thinking about it, I realised that if they didn't know who John Conner was, that means that in that timeline, Skynet won and John Conner is dead. Bummer. Alternatively, It could be early in the war and John Conner hasn't made a name for himself yet, but he's going to, which would lead into the storyline we know from the first two movies. That's a much more hopeful ending. Either way, it's not as much of a cliffhanger as it appears to be.
Not a bad way too look at it really.

Man, could have been so much more, but yeah I guess the time travel aspect of the franchise makes it easier to assume things could have developed in a lot of different ways, so like the movies, the end there was just a big "what if" or something.

Wow! Fantastic Nikita episode last week! It felt like a season finale, but it wasn't! This show never screws around. Always taking chances and never letting up on its pacing. I love how bold and confident the show always is. Some shows are always spinning their wheels or settling into a status quo. Nikita changes the game with every season and always moves the story forward with every episode. Never any filler. I don't think this show even knows what a filler episode is.

Yes, and it isn't good. It also has one of the worst promotional posters of all time.

So. Lots of injuries on that SPLASH show, eh? Someone on the Chinese version drowned to death.

My friends weren't kidding, so TNG's first (few?) seasons are kind of... awful? Haha, this is definitely cheese to the max with the goofiest plot lines so far.
