We still watch this show. We watched Friday. Why are we still watching?
Here are some thoughts:
1. We have such a girl-bodyguard crush on Summer Glau. We wish she’d be our Terminatrix . . .
2. Brian Austin Green still rocks the hizouse. He’s good looking and he's a good time. Plain and simple.
3. The original premise of The Terminator (the vintage Arnold Schwarz shit) is actually kind of genius. Everybody’s afraid of robots and time travel is dope. That’s why the franchise endures. And that’s why we still watch Shirley Manson kill bitches with her machine sword arms on a Friday night.
4. Heavy-handed biblical allusion. Nothing makes us throw up our hands and yell “come on!” at the television screen like a ludicrous reference to Jehovah or Beelzebub. And we enjoy an interactive television experience. The likening of snot-nosed John Connor to Christ is laughable and awesome.
5. Sarah Connor is a badass. She’s always overcoming an inordinate amount of pain or choking a bitch out. This week, homegirl limped around with a bullet in her leg for hours. Then she let some lady doctor try to cut it out of her without so much as a shot of Jack Daniels. We’re hoping she gets thug life tattooed across her ribs at some point this season. Treat yourself, Sarah. You deserve it.
Now if we could just get rid of the nonsensical plot twists and Brian Austin Green’s girlfriend. His fictional girlfriend. Not Megan Fox. Megan’s cool. She can stay.
