River never bothered me, she seems to be good at the role of being creepy and beating people up, I think she makes a decent enough Terminator.
I think you mean Summer.

we make John a total looser and druggy who carries a paintball gun around with him... ugh!

Did you even watch the movie? He broke into the vet clinic for bandages and pain killers after his motorcycle accident. If he'd gone to a hospital there would be records of his location and identification. I guess that's also the reason he didn't have a real gun.

I agree on some points but I'm one of the few people who actually liked T3.

Given that the show keeps improving I think it really would have benefited from 4 additional episodes. If it doesn't get a second season that is a horrible way to end it. I'm guessing Cromarte [sp?] let Ellison live because they are both looking for Sarah. I hope the other agent, the woman, isn't dead.
