My Thoughts:
This one was the choice of my daughter Brittany. While entertaining... this is in no way in the league of Toy Story.  It is good enough to hold my attention through-out... but over-all it is just average. I did get a bit of a kick out of the little green men.

I like the school scenes. And that they did not heroicly save the girl from suicide. If they would have done that, the show would have probably become a "problem at school"-of-the-week kind of show.
But I still hate the storyline, where the Terminator is organizing his new skin: Give a scientist a formula and he will grow you a new body in a day.
Instead this ridiculous storyline, it would have been better to just let the change of the actor be unexplained. Changes in cast between the pilot and a series are not that uncommon and would have been tolerable to have this unexplained.
