What I'm Watching: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Season 1, Episode 4 "Heavy Metal" (F)

Did anything happen in this episode, or did John just jump on a truck and chill for forty-five minutes? I want to like this show so much but it is doing nothing to prove its worth. The fact that the dumb cops picked up the terminator guy before the terminator actually got to him is cheap. What a terrible detective the guy is who says that someone might be trying to steal his identity without somehow checking to make sure it is really him (in all fairness, I guess he would have had no way of knowing). Something that has really gotten to me over the past few weeks, and which was always a problem with the "Terminator" movies, is that these supposedly intelligent machines need to always push and shove all the time rather than being cunning and subtle. Slamming someone's face into a mirror is not necessarily the best way to kill someone. And hardly the most effective or discreet.
