That was the only show I TV I really watched. I DVR'd and watched it every week.

When I saw the season finale I was

. Then I heard it was going to be canceled

it really was a great series, and I was a HUGE fan

Will continue to be one of my favorite shows although it was ended.I really hope another network tries to pick it up[sci-fi?]. My dude Brian Austin Green was great in that series btw

I still haven't opened my TSCC blu-ray yet though, gonna wait till i have a totally open few days and just chill out and watch

I can't believe how many Sarah Connor fans there are on NT. I feel like I was the only one watching it. Seconded on the point about thefinale.....that was one of the greatest episodes of any show ever. No joke, I must have watched the one where Cameron thinks she's Allison from Palmdaleand that season finale no less than 5x each. The show definitely had its downs, but for the most part, it was awesome.

The chick that played Catherine Weaver killed it. She was so good.

^ As soon as I saw Derrick Reese get killed off, I was thinking how could they do Brian Austin Green so dirty, then I saw the end of the season finale and Iwas

x1000.

One of the my favorite cliffhangers ever, I was awaiting to finally see Summer Glau get some shine with that new character. Then it gets cancelled smh.

 

[th0mas cr0wn]

Man, imagine how Season 3 would have been

So many possibilities there ifthey'd continued it. Fox is notorious for killing off great shows though

I remember when John first/finally met Jessie, that episode was so epic. then Derek confronts her in the parking lot and pulls the gun on her

That whole 2nd half of that episode was so dope

At first I didn't like Shirley Manson's character, but then toward the end she really grew on me. She was great in that role
Yeah, there was a string of a few episodes that were kinda random/bland, but overall the show was great to me

Man, now I'm getting mad again that they cancelled it

One of my favorite episodes of the first half of the 2nd season was the one where they finally killed Cromartie in that Mexican church, and also the Militaryschool one

I wasn't a big fan of the Sarah 'psychological'episodes though

[Mister Meaner]

It seems like every time I make a Blu Ray purchase, this thread gets bumped right before that.

Added Quantum of Solace for $14.99 and Star Trek.

I might be going in this holiday season as there's nothing else I really want. Except of course a 65" Panny I fell in love with last night at BestBuy.

 

[dvdjamm5150]

Amazon.com has the Up 4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack along with Monsters, Inc. and Cars on Blu-ray for $56.97. (Be sure to add all three to your cart!)

Coupon code "PIXARBLU" cuts the total for all three Blue-Ray movies to $30.97 with free shipping!

The Up 4-disc combo pack includes: Two Blu-Ray discs plus a DVD plus a digital copy of the movie. Deal ends November 30.

Enjoy!

I watched it last night

Impulse buy FTL, I was only going for Star Trek.

 

[eteam o2]

bunch of blu-rays just got marked down...

2 that stood out- gladiator and braveheart at $10 each.
getting both...
even tho gladiator didn't get the best transfer the consensus is that it's still an upgrade over DVD and at $10 it can't be beat.

still shopping around though- thinkin bout true blood season 1... has it been cheaper?

 

[incredibleev]

i spent about 80 bucks on 7 blu rays on black friday i got

Reservoir Dogs
American Psycho
Ghostbusters
Matrix 10th Anniversary (blu ray book)
2001: A Space Odyssey
Fight Club
Amadeus (blu ray book, personal fav)

just arrived today and very happy. Reservoir Dogs, American Psycho and 2001 were 7.99 each. Matrix was 10 bucks and I see its more than 20 bucks today onAmazon

 

[DownByLaw]

School me on Blu-ray guys, I still don't own a player. How do the older movies transfer over? I have only seen newer films in Blu-ray, which lookedamazing. I always wonder how you take an older movie like the God Father and have it come out looking as good as the latest Star Trek.

 

[salbah3]

I need to stop buyingg man, I swear I'm almost at 70 smh

Godfather will not look good as the recent film, it's just the source. The closest one of the three that looks as good as new titles would be GodfatherIII. I love those films though, they look quite good for their age but if youre a grain hater, you're definitely going to hate them especially part 2.Blade Runner looks damn good for a 20+ year old movie and I heard 2001: Space Odyssey looks really good and that was from the 60's, if I'm notmistaken. Get the CGI heavy films though, you won't be disappointed, especially from Pixar, with the exception of Kung Fu Panda from Dreamworks, that looksand sounds damn good.

 

[boomatic206]

Terminator Salvation: Director's Cut is out today.

Although I hear they will be releasing a Skynet Edition next year, which is an extra 30 - 40 minutes longer. Also rumored to have the ending where Connor diesand they put his skin on Marcus.
