My Thoughts:
After watching this one I am really not sure what to say about it. I think I may have been a little to tired when I started this one... as I have kept myself very busy all day today. So I did find it a bit on the confusing side and feel I will need to watch this one again at some point. But with that said I did enjoy what I saw here. It definitely kept my interest through-out the movie.

Pirates of Silicon Valley, a review by Antares

Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999) 65/100 - Informative, if somewhat hackneyed attempt at telling the story of the personal computer industries infancy. It definitely doesn't paint a cheery picture of the two main protagonists in the film, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, with Gates really getting an ass reaming from the screenwriter. As for the actors who portrayed these two entrepreneurs, Wyle comes off as being the better of the two at absorbing his character's traits, warts and all. I found Anthony Michael Hall to be a bit vacant at times when he was reciting lines, as if he couldn't quite grab hold of the character. I found the first hour or so the most interesting as we see the infancy of the PC creative process, and how everyone was stealing ideas from each other. Once it got to around the 1984 Apple commercial, I felt it kind of lost a bit of steam. But I'd recommend it to anyone interested in learning about this rarely documented moment in history.

What the color coding means...

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete Second Season marathon, a review by goodguy

2x12 Alpine Fields
Synopsis: Sarah and Cameron work to save a family on the list with a connection to Derek and Jesse in the future.
My Rating:

After the revelations of 2x10, the show goes off on a tangent for the second time in a row. That's either a pretty ballsy move, the result of the network asking for more self-contained episodes, or padding towards the mid-season finale (2x13). While I like to think it is the first, in reality it is probably a little of all three.

Since I'm rewatching the series, I obviously have more patience for things that maybe considered distractions from the main plot. But I have to say that it didn't bother me on first viewing either. And while the episode has no relation to the main plot, it does relate to the main story

Another thing that bugged me is that first they to spoil the suspense by giving certain information "accidentally" too early (who is the terminator after...?) just to give us an entire different solution later; it felt cheap.

Erm, no. At that point, we know (from the now-frame) that Lauren's father is already dead and that the terminator is still after pregnant Anne and Lauren.
