Suspension of Belief
Alright never mind the already far-fetched concept of machines from a future reality breaking the laws of physics and coming back to alter current events with no obvious paradox, why must we further dumb things down by leaving so much unsaid?
Even with the otherwise fantastical premise (and the existence of a machine from the future amongst the party) first season didn't get too far-fetched outside the bounds of believability. Impending paradoxes aside it made the heroes struggle all the more desperate when they didn't have IMF styled resources to call upon when resolving their Terminator-of-the-week storyline.
Certainly they've come into monetary resources stockpiled for them by other agents from the future, but to upgrade from a run-down out of the way place to what could easily be a million dollar mansion stretches things a bit thin -- So how in less than a day were they able to come up with that kind of capitol without arousing a lot of suspicions?
But that wasn't the worst offender. In the same span of time our stalwart heroes not only disposed of a body from the future but they also secured clearances to work at a Nuclear facility in what seemed like a matter of minutes. Everything felt disjointed and even more disheartening is that what seemed like a lot of unresolved plotlines from first season were all-together abandoned. Don't even start at the whole part where Sarah finds herself in a restricted area and is basically humiliated. Uh.
If this trend continues the show will lose its luster quickly and find itself replaced by something better conceived and written. FOX: Don't let continuity and believability errors like this continue or we will have to Terminate you.
