I was gonna post this in "Other Science Fiction Series", but this is just too cool!
I mean, 3 1/2 stars from USA Today and an A from SCI FI Weekly!

I love that the USA Today reviewer is obviously a Whedonist: citing "(Firefly's Summer Glau)", not "(The 4400's Summer Glau)".
Then there's this part...
Quote:

As much as the show recalls the movies, it also recalls some of the best work ever done in the genre for TV: the Buffy universe of Joss Whedon. Most every blast of portent and bombast is lightened by a throwaway joke; scenes of intense action and violence give way to equally well-realized scenes of domestic life that root the fantasy in emotional reality.

I loved the USA Today review too. Then there was this one -

"TV 'Terminator' captures flavor of films" at http://origin.mercurynews.com/tv/ci_7942313?nclick_check=1

Not quite as gushing, but a solid positive review.
