About the blog
This is a UK media blog with daily news, views, exclusive reviews and good conversation. There's a bit of a bias towards the latest and greatest US TV, but we also cover British TV ranging from new Doctor Who to old Z Cars, Property Ladder to Big Brother, and BBC4 to S4C – yes, this blog is firmly part of the conspiracy to promote all things Welsh where possible, particularly Caerdydd.
Add in film, theatre, art, books, events and media journalism and you've (hopefully) got one of the best places on the web for media lovers. Oh yes, and there's The Carusometer, the ultimate guide to quality TV.
About me
I'm Rob Buckley, a freelance journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of. I've edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for trade magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and contributed sarcastic articles about television to the blink-and-you-missed-it "web site for urban hedonists" The Tribe. I'm freelance now and have contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly and TV Scoop. Have pity on me.

You know, I've always pondered this - "Nothing dead can travel through time" thing. But something dead can travel through time, only if it's covered in human flesh.
So why not make a Terminator with weapons/money/clothers loaded in a compartment in the gut that they can take out whenever they materialize? Those robots are soooo dumb!
Having said that, wouldn't it be funny to see a Terminator travel and the endoskeleton get left behind? All that's be left would be the lumpy pile of flesh!

They mess around with it too much as well. How come the T-1000 and the T-X can come back through time, given they're pure metal? My only thought on that was that maybe the T-1000 was covered in flesh and then cut its way out once it arrived, but we saw the T-X arrive and it had no problems. Could Skynet not build weapon exteriors out of whatever they're made from?
The Sarah Connor Chronicles did have a Terminator with a gun in its leg, but that was really pointless - he might as well have gone into a gun store and bought one if he wasn't going to take one back that had lasers.
Basically, it's all a bit random.
