Oh, you rock my socks so hard! After I sent that comment, I thought, "eek! I shouldn't've done that!" because I was afraid you might think I was saying you were wrong or that your opinion didn't matter to me or that I was trying to convince you to change your mind. Not at all! I just love to discuss this stuff. And as I am now realizing that I *could* possibly feel fannish about this 'verse, esp. if the show turned out to be good, I find I want to talk about it even more. So, thanks for your thoughts!
1. Dvd extras so don't count! haha. But anyway, I never watched the extras on T1. On T2, however, I've watched everything. Even the version that's narrated for blind people.
2. T1!Arnie/T-1000 comparison is more accurate. But that just means T2 has a great number of compelling characters! I just think that the development of Sarah is far more compelling in T2 than T1. In T1 it is very straightforward, point A to point B, whereas I feel T2!Sarah encompasses that development and far more, besides.
3. This is probably why we have such different views. I think T2 has a *great* theme, and that it makes the movie. And T3 is broken because it's theme is so mangled and godawful.
Though I also disagree on the soundtrack point: Ladyhawk is a good movie, I think, and not broken, despite it's atrocious soundtrack.
4. I never thought about the script like that! That's a very insightful point. It's interesting, though, because I felt that T1 was kind of "no dialogue, no dialogue, info dump! No talking no talking info dump!" over and over again.
5. I had never thought about it this way either, that T2 was actually "safer". I don't know that I ever actually thought T1 could end badly, but T2 has a happier ending, definitely. Imo, anyway.
Yeah, Lance Henrickson! Who always reminds me of Aliens, and Reese was in Aliens as well, and Aliens, T2, and the Emperor Strikes Back are the only sequels that beat out the originals, imo.
<3 you right back! Thankis for the great discussion/pointless argument ;o)
