"Watched some Sarah Connor Chronicles last night. A T1000 killer robot is crossing the street, just a couple of steps behind Sarah with killing on his cyborg mind, when Bang! a bus or truck crashes into him and carries him offscreen, putting him out of commission just long enough for Sarah to escape.

"Rainn Wilson is right for the part, and he doesn't do too bad, but the whole thing felt like something I'd seen before. The laughs are rather weak, and the plot feels tired. "
