(SPOILER)
TV Squad reviews Summer Glau's Sarah Connor Chronicles pilot and second episode.
And the review is good! Spoilers are a general outline of the episodes' plots.
Summer helps "make the show not just watchable, but good," but the reviewer doesn't see how it could last past the first season.

Is that the unfinished version in which part of it took place in a school? Because that's been reshot. I was not aware that the final version had been leaked.

And yeah, from what I heard, they changed the pilot from what was leaked, but if the new version is at all similar, it should still be awesome!
Also, very cool... this is the first story I've ever posted!

Kristin over at E! also likes TSCC. She rates it #8 in her list of new and returning shows to watch in '08.
Summer and Thomas Dekker were interviewed last week on Good Day LA. (video interview)

So many of the commenters are saying they're going to download the show & then buy the DVD, not watch it on FOX.
First: That won't "teach" FOX a thing about screwing around w/shows. If anything, they'll use it as an "excuse" to make direct-to'net programs.
Second: They're so not supporting the striking writers by doing that. (Then again, I doubt those folks really care about the writers, judging by their comments.)
Thirdly: If you can find a third point, go ahead & post it. My brain just shut down.

If anything,I would think this series has a good shot with FOX especially since Terminator 4,5 and 6 are coming.The fourth film,"Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins" is being directed by McG and Christian Bale recently signed on as John Connor.I would thik the cross promotion between the Terminator series and the new Terminator film would be too great for a studio and network not to take advantage of.

And if everyone approached watching TV that way, all shows would be dead in the water. I believe in supporting promising shows and giving them a chance. I'm not as afraid of missing something I had than I am of not having it at all.

I wish I had FOX on my cable, but since I'm from Europe, It's a no go. I've seen tons of great series gone unaired, cancelled (Joan of Arcadia, Dead like Me and more of those) so I initially download the series, to figure out if I like the show. Weeds, Bionic Woman, Cane, all great, but what can I do to support anyone? Spread the buzz? A lot of the series in the USA aren't available in Europe to begin with. I love Veronica Mars, but can I buy it on dvd here? No. Can I buy Joan of Arcadia here? no.
That's regardless of the Writers Strike, which I totally understand and support.

I do wish the new series success. But, it won't last on Fox. Here me now... believe me later.

Basically, if you download a show illegally when you couldn't do so legally AND/OR don't have a Nielsen box or are otherwise measured as part of the US viewing figures then it makes absolutely no difference to the survival of the show (OK, it might help marginally because if you enjoy it and post online you may encourage others to check it out, similarly I guess if you don't enjoy it and post about that it might discourage folk).
How people feel about the morality of it aside from practical considerations is obviously a personal issue though.
The time travel rules of the first few movies being bent and broken is distressing for the geek in me, but I still can't wait.
Hmm, they seemed in fairly bad shape anyway (even in the first film) having either outright paradoxes or narrative inconsistencies depending on how you look at it and given that "The future's not set, there's no fate but what we make" then travelling back and monkeying with the timeline can have pretty much any effect the writers can reasonably convince us of.
