I know its' just a pilot and the show might yet find its legs, but the first episode, while enjoyable was very indebted to the clichés of the movies. Summer Glau quotes Michael and Arnold's lines ("Come with me if you want to live.") and actions (naked Summer like naked Arnold gets the attention of three punks whom she beats up so she can take their clothes.) and then there are some nice wrinkles about time travel. The FBI agent chasing them probably doesn't know what's really going on but who knows what he's keeping from the cops he persuades to help him track Sarah Connor and company. I hope I still care in a month, but I might not.
