So what do I know about T:SCC now? That River is robot (and still crazy!), and also she drives in cars. A lot. As does everyone else. Sometimes they get tied up in cars! Sometimes the fall of top of cars, breaking them! Sometimes they just drive. But there are robots, and also cars. Thank you for expanding my knowledge about this 'verse! :D

No, seriously, I liked this. The song felt right for it and for something that is innately repetitive, it didn't actually feel boring.

They have Guns and Destiny too. And Sarah is a Bad Bitch (her words) and demands you watch the first two movies (but not the third) and the TV series. Do it. =D

Summer Glau has managed to kill me dead again. She's amazing in this.

[insane_duckfish]

Hee! I do like a touch of Destiny in my fandoms (and Guns kinda goes without saying... XD)

Oh, well, if Sarah demands it I guess I'd better like I wasn't already totally sold by the 'tied up in cars' thing XD

Heh, I did actually watch one episode but I didn't really follow it except that a significant portion of it was kinda like the bit towards the end of Serenity, or this comic. I'm OK with this, btw! :D

She does do that a lot. I couldn't even guess which of the twenty or so that episode could be. =)

I highly recommend Terminator.

XDD That's never a bad thing.

(Um, it was the episode where Cameron - and fuck, I almost said 'River' without meaning to *fails* - is mimicking that girl and leaning up against the car while Sarah and possibly... whatsisface, her son, are in the house trying to do... something... and then there was something about whatsisface-guy trying to find out the truth about some other guy or something, I don't really remember but I think he went round the guy's place towards the end and something bad happened. The fight scene I described happened towards the beginning and might have been in... um, like an abandonned house or maybe an empty indoor parking lot or something, and I think it involved robot/s leaping down a couple of stories adn Cameron chasing after them. Or something.I don't even know! But if you really wanna try and guess, those are the things that stood out to me about the episode. XD Although it doesn't really matter at all)

The girl on the car is Chola. She's also all kinds of awesome.
I think it needs a lot of context to explain it, althought I know the episode you mean.
Start from the begining, it's a bit heavy on the back story. :)

[insane_duckfish]

I thought she seemed awesome! :D
Also, yeah, that's why I only watched one episode. I came in a bit late and even though I thought it looked interesting, I also thought "No way in Hell am I gonna be able to follow this... wait until you know the background" XD

[myniamh]

I'd suggest getting the first film, Terminator, and seeing if you like it.
The series is an AU set after the second film so I safely ignore the last two.

Thank you btw! XD

I worried it would be too repetitive so I'm glad you didn't find that a bad thing. =)
