Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Review

If you missed the first half of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on FOX last night, then you still have a chance to see the second part of the premiere tonight and catch a great new show. I have to be honest. I expected something lame a stupid. I expected to see a bit of a hokey show that would be destined for, well…termination. I was treated instead to a great show that I found as good as any of the original movies.

Lena Headey played a great Sarah Connor although I was doubtful at first. Summer Glau was excellent as a new model of Terminator that seems a bit more advanced then previous models.

If you’ve seen the first and second Terminator movies, then you should be up on all the history you need. Cyberdyne is a company that invents a learning computer called Skynet and once it’s brought online, it launches the world nukes and begins a battle against humanity. The first Terminator movie is about a machine killer coming back in time to kill Sarah Connor to prevent her baby from becoming the leader of the human resistance in the future. A human soldier named Reese was sent back in time to save her. If you noticed that Sarah was using the alias Sarah Reese in the show last night and knew why, then kudos to you.

Anyway, then later Sarah, teenage John Connor, and a Terminator programmed to help, destroy all traces of the Terminators and Skynet so they can change the future. Now it seems that someone else builds Skynet and they’ve got to try once again to change the future. I am now going to watch every episode, because they’re building something great here. It reminds me of the early Battlestar Galactica seasons when the stories were some of the best on television.

Rating: ★★★★☆

    I missed it. But if you say it’s good I’m sure I’ll like it. I’ll have to watch the episode on the official site.
