I like it - it has the spirit of the first two, especially T2, in a way that T3 never could quite accomplish. I'm sure I'd like it a hell of a lot more if it was on HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, or even FX or SciFi where they could get a little bit edgier to keep the tone of the first two a bit more (language and violence, two things that were also sadly toned way down in T3), but at least the spirit is still there.

I'm not sold on Dekker's John Connor, though. And while I would, of course, liked to have seen Linda Hamilton as Sarah, Heady seems to be doing a decent job. And, of course, I'm glad they ditched T3 completely and went off of T2.

At the same time, I'm concerned at how this is going to play out as a series. I think they should treat each season as an extended episodic movie, and limit each season to 13 episodes rather than 24 or so (another thing that makes me feel I'd like it more were it an HBO Sopranos-esque series).
