Oh liveblog, how I’ve missed thee. But now that Terminator is on Fridays (and also in danger of cancellation), I can (and must!) stay up late enough to watch it when it actually airs. Woot.

19:57: If that half-second snippet we saw was any indication, Weaver kicks way more ass this half of the season. Everybody needs more melty robot action.
20:00: Summer Glau and Eliza Dushku pimping their back-to-back shows. I am once again reminded I am not the core audience for these two hours.

20:01: “Well, she’s not going anywhere.” Haha, that’s cute.
20:03: “Not John, HIM.” You know Ghostie Man, you can use proper nouns.
20:07: Why can’t John’s call be to drop Riley off at the hospital and run for it to never see her again? Wouldn’t we all appreciate that?
20:13: Hey kids, that was your “FYI THIS IS KYLE REESE” moment.
20:15: “She is, as they say, accustomed to her circumstance.” Well said sir.
20:17: I didn’t think anyone could make John look masculine, but this pouty-lipped Kyle Reese does it.

Commercial Break: I am so excited to see The International. Maybe I will spend my Valentine’s with Clive Owen.

20:24: John Henry is much too amusing for a killer robot.
20:26: Sorry Agent Ellison, your deep dark secrets are all over the interwebs. However, I agree with his concern: What if John Henry finds Wikipedia? The confusion! The misinformation! The lack of source citations!

Commercial Break: NEW WATCHMEN TRAILER. March 6 cannot come soon enough.

20:36: The Terminators meet!
20:38: For some reason that was a really excellent conversation. Props to the actors for their nuanced performance of socially inept and super scary machines.

Commercial Break: You can none of the show writers were involved in these promo spots, and that Summer and Eliza are just sort of Big Pretty Smiling their way through the canned dialogue. Also, can someone please explain to me how Cyclops is in the Wolverine movie?

20:46: Why do so many scary scenes in this show happen in the bathroom? We were all totally expecting the urinal to turn into Weaver again.
20:47: Oh shit, it’s on. But she’s going to ruin her dress!
20:48: Whoah nelly. But dress? Totally rui- OH. OH SHE MAKES IT. That is smart. And also explains why her designer clothes always fit so well. I wish I was made of killer liquid metal and could make my entire wardrobe.

20:55: Aw, he has an obviously Photoshopped picture of her! How… sweet?.. I don’t know, t hat scene was kind of weird.
20:56: Hey Reese, strategy should perhaps be to not threaten the doctor who just saved Sarah’s life.
20:57: I am getting the vibe that Felicia is going to shoot – yep, she did.
20:58: OH SHIT I forgot Derek doesn’t know he’s John’s uncle – or does he? I forget who knows. This season has been on pause for too long.
20:59: Well, good job Sarah, you got a battered woman to shoot the man victimizing her, and now all your dilly-dallying made you miss the big explosion.

Time for Dollhouse! Liveblog #2: go!
