I'd given up on the Terminator franchise some time ago. After the so so Rise of the Machines it really felt to me like there just wasn't much juice left for the squeezing.

The next step for the Tribal Chief?
When Roman came back and showed us his more aggressive stance along with his new manager Paul Heyman, it seemed to me that he was taking action simply to reclaim what was his and doing it such a way that no one would get the drop on him again - no cashing in the briefcase, … Continue reading The next step for the Tribal Chief?

Dreaming in Reality
