How about a second opinion?

My friend C recently emailed me some comments about TV shows (we both agree that Lost is picking up steam). He disagrees with me about the Fox Terminator series that I reviewed and I enjoyed his comments, so I want to share them:

The Terminator series would have been a lot better with just about any actress other than Lena Headley. She calmed down a bit after the pilot, but her "Everything! I! Say! Is! The! Most! Important! Thing! Ever!" acting was irritating,to say the least. I disliked the actor playing John not just because he was a weak actor, but also because his agent pulled him out of "Heroes" because the producers wanted to make the character he played on that show gay, and the agent thought that would interfere with his auditioning for John Connor. An actor who goes along with that does not get my support. The show hit some potentially solid notes, like when John argues with his mother about letting him be the hero he's supposed to become, but each step forward in that direction was subject to two steps back in things like the "Kyle's brother" storyline. The more I think about that show, the more I think about things I didn't like, so I'll just stop here. Time to wrap up anyway.....
