So? You knew the crew was always going to solve the problem of the week on any of the various Star Trek series but you watched anyway (you=figuratively, not literally). It's not about IF they succeed or survive, it's about HOW they succeed or survive.

It's the journey, not the destination.

In Star Trek II, they do kill off Spock:)

There is a difference between Star Trek and Terminator TV show, in that you already know where everything is leading to, whereas the Star Trek show had the freedom to go anywhere it pleased.

Don't get me wrong, I don't know where the show is going every week, but I think the fatal flaw in all these 'prequel' show/movies is that you are essentially watching a story unfold that you already know what is going to happen.

Now for some people, they love to see how everyone got to where they were, but for me I like stories that are told that head into territory that you don't know where the show will go. Everytime that Terminator goes after John like it did on the Pier two weeks ago, I knew he would survive.

A show about the War with the machines would have been great, as I have always waited for the movies on this story too. That would be great tension every week, who would survive, would John Connor make it through the war? How do humans eventually win? Do they ever win? It would be alot more interesting this timeline.

IMO
