Brian Austin Green Has a Message for the Haters

[k8ie]

BAG is turning into a favourite of mine...


Some fans are hating on the recent episodes for a lack of action.

Green: It can't be [all action]. It can't be. I think if it was up to the fans, truly, John Connor would already be John Connor in the future. The show would be, like, four episodes, and they would run out of s--t. You have to build, and you have to have moments where everything has to sit, and you have to think it through. It can't just be f--kin' go-go-go-go-go, because there's just no way we could last. What's funny is that, still to this day, one of the favorite scenes for people I talk to is the scene in the park, John and Derek sitting and watching the two [kids, young Kyle and Derek,] play baseball. That's, like, the least action scene of anything. It's sitting on a f--kin' bench talking, but then they complain there's not enough action, so you can't please everybody. I trust Josh. I hope that at the end of the day the fans will trust Josh, because he's done a really good job so far.

Heh.

I professed my love for him on another board. And on that board, he needs to go there and bitch-slap a bunch of people because they are EXACTLY what he described right here.

He's totally right, it can't be go-go-go and things take time to build.. whether it's a character or a relationship, or whatever.. it's gotta build. Really, I do love him.

No offense to BAG, but people are hating on the show due to all the people being sent back from the future. I have no problem with John not being some savior already, but the lack of placement for his character makes you wonder what they're trying to do with him. I don't think he needs to be involved in all the action right now, but it wouldn't hurt to show him training in hand to hand combat or more gun training like in "Goodbye To All That." Personally, when it comes to John's character development, I'd like to see him in a Beatrix Kiddo sort of role. Show him learning these combat strategies, working out, maturing, etc, etc.

I was very critical of the show towards the last two episodes of the first 13, but it was justified for sure. This show ended up having too many characters, too many crazy stories, and too many people coming back from the future. I think it's time to narrow down the characters and spend more time on the "Connor crew."

Hollow Crown is right. BAG is just an actor...

My main point is this: The show is suffering from Superman Returns disease where Superman (John) doesn't even know Lex Luthor (T-1000) is setting up an evil scheme till the last moment of the film. No tension or rising action. No rivalry, or *almost* moments.
John hasn't grown. He cut his hair off, then went to being Riley's boyfriend. Sarah, the main character is the most clueless.

I think thats what people mean when they say there is not enough action. The main characters have nothing to fight. John and Sarah lost the spotlight to BAG and Jesse's plots.

However, there have been some episodes that are just friggn amazing that were really on track (Season 2 Episode 1&2, and the 1930s gangster plot). They did those and season 1 very well.

Look, its TERMINATOR. They can show two misplaced soldiers have sex, then torturing a guy or they can show how John & Sarah Connor defeat the machines.
