Rating:  - A breath of fresh air !
The Sarah Connor Chronicles is like having a cliff hanger at the end of every episode.
There so many crappy shows on right now, it is good to have something keep my attention from beginning to end.
The series started a little slow as we got to know the actors/characters and bringing Brian Austin Green in brought some grit to the stories.
Looking forward to season 2 next week !!!
Rating: - Great, solid acting, a lot of action, and escapism galore
I've really fallen for this show. I think the program is solidly cast with some great actors; the action scenes are realistic, good scripts, and a lot of fun to watch. It turned out to be more than I expected (I didn't expect much), and it's now become one of my favorite shows on television at the moment. SO many police and lawyer procedural shows are now on, I look forward to the escapism this show provides. No bad dreams. Lena Headey is fantastic, as is, well all four of the major players are excellent. Highly recommend, especially if your getting a bit stale on CSI's, Police dramas, half-hour comedies and Lawyer programs. It's wonderful to see great SciFi coming back to television again. This CD set is definitely worth owning, and has a lot of extras.
Rating:  - Problems with this storyliine
I haven't decided whether I like this series or not, I've only watched a couple episodes thus far. But I'm having major issue with what they're doing sending engineer's, helpers and everyone else back through time portals to stage stuff for John and Sarah. If they could do that... why not just send the army of future soldiers back and finish the job to begin with? This is really bugging me. I thought the movie series showed that time travel was extremely difficult. But in this storyline it's easy. At the end of the first episode they even use time travel to escape. Not as difficult as we were led to believe in the movies. Cheapens the whole Terminator universe with this introduced.
Rating:  - Estrogen takes the lead
This Series is about as wrong as any can get, even trying. The testosterone-injected movies have been so estrogen weighed in this series that the entire atmosphere of the struggle is maternal rather than the way it was. Sure, I know it is about Sarah, but it doesn't work unless there is a strong male around on the kid's side. It cannot survive just having the mother's viewpoint being the main and only theme. What makes the movies good is that the maternal component is made vital and vigorous by the presence of a potential good father figure always being there and possibly being possible. I cannot comment on the acting, since I have not seen any yet. I cannot comment on the directing and production, or even the main gaffer, since I see no input by any of them. This is nothing but a lesson to the future, a lesson manual, in fact, on how to avoid presenting a production feeding off of the good will handed to them by the boost the movies would give any crew with talent. I would never fund this non-production production. Too bad, since all they needed was there, and they went the other way. Go figure
Rating: - An answer to whether leaders are born or made - watch the making of John Connor
To be honest, I have no clue what people can be complaining about with this series. IF you like Terminator, you should like this. There's no way Arnold S. and Linda H. were going to sign on for a TV series, so we get their capable replacements instead.
The timeline of this series is obviously after the second of the three Terminator movies. In the second, the viewer is essentially left with all Terminator entities being destroyed, and Sarah Connor protecting her 10-year old son while preparing him for his destiny. Leaving Cyberdyne Systems in ruins, they enlist the help of Miles Dyson to destroy his own research that would eventually lead to Skynet and Judgement Day.
In the Sarah Connor Chronicles, Sarah (Lena Heady) and her teenage son John (Thomas Dekker) are fugitive nomads, moving from one remote town to another in order to stay under the radar, not only from the possibility of other Terminators, but also law enforcement. However, that's not enough, and eventually a new Terminator model named Cameron (Summer Glau) meets up with the mother and son. Luckily, Cameron is a newer T800 model - obviously prettier than all previous Terminators - sent by John to protect John.
Wonderfully cast, with great special effects and acting, the story and drama follows the original storyline smoothly. Since insiders have noted that this series is in a different timeline than T3, the story-arc can be eliminated for confused linear thinkers.
