When someone says "The Terminator", the most iconic imagery, the imagery that made the series famous, is that of Arnold Schwarzenegger, leather jacket, black shades, shot gun in hand, walking around, tottally unstoppable. If the movies made anything clear, it's that The Terminatorts wer souless, RUTHLESS killing machines. Anyone who got in there way was terminated. Not just injured, not ignored, terminated. The first movie killed every police officer in a California precinct to get to Sara Connor. If it made anything else clear, it's that these things were almost completely unstoppable. You could kill one with a hydraulic press strong enough to crush machines into scrap, or you can melt them in a hot enough steel factory, but small arms fire is all but useless.
So why is it that more and more, we're seeing Terminators leaving easily killable witnesses behind, and in this episode, they can't shoot worth jack (in this episode, Elison and John were in a car not 20 feet from him, and Cromardi could not hit them with a semi-automatic) and they can apparently be killed by a shotgun blast to the face? Pretty weak.
Also, John's getting on my nerves. Man it up, weenie!
