Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
 
Will air on Sunday January 13th on Fox. Has got the girl from 300, Lena Headley as Sarah and the female Terminator looks hot and I just realized it's that girl from Serenity. Not the prostitute but the doctor's sister.


Xero 01-05-2008 08:47 PM

Looks decent but I'm not getting my hopes up, because usually shows like this fall flat on their face. It's either going to be really good or be canceled by the fifth episode.

Shakespearean sTiMa 01-05-2008 08:52 PM

you know what's going to be fucking awesome? terminator 4 with christian bale as john connor. fuck yes.

To bad that its been released that he only has a small role in the 4th film. Hopefully they keep him for the 5th because they said John Conner is a 2nd lead character in the 5th and 6th film.

As for the series...

I cant wait for it but chances are that it will be cancelled after a few episodes and will go the way of Serenity.

Sad thing about the show is that it takes place and is supposed to link the 2nd film to the 3rd. Which means that Sarah Conner will die in the tv series...that is if it makes it that far.

Lock Jaw 01-05-2008 09:32 PM

I heard it was ignoring the third movie completely and just doing its own thing. I also have not heard of a 4th, 5th, or 6th Terminator film.

ClockShot 01-05-2008 10:02 PM

Summer Glau as the stoic bad ass yet again looks good. The only sticking point for me is what night it's gonna end up on.

Oh well I just know that yahoo.com and a few other sites have little timelines going on showing that this is gonna takie place after the 2nd film. They do mention that the events COULD lead up to the 3rd film but then again they could go a different right.

Im just gonna go with what you said in hopes that they dont kill Sarah off.

Lock Jaw 01-05-2008 11:12 PM

Well it IS called the SARAH CONNER chronicles. So if they ever did kill her off it would probably be a series finale.

Kane Knight 01-06-2008 12:29 PM

HEre's hopin it does ignore T3. That was an abortion.

Shakespearean sTiMa 01-06-2008 01:54 PM

kane knight in saying something i can agree with wholeheartedly shocker.

D Mac 01-13-2008 07:54 PM

It's coming on!

Savio 01-13-2008 08:22 PM

I think it ignores everything

RBM 01-13-2008 08:26 PM

Pretty good so far.

Kinda funny how future John decides to send a hot female teenager Terminator to guard him at the age of 15.

Shaggy 01-13-2008 08:31 PM

The first 10 minutes were ehhh....but once the action picked up Ive been "Holy Shit" the whole time..

Summer Glau is hotter than anyone else right now...

thedamndest 01-13-2008 08:42 PM

I'm liking it so far as well. I have a few questions since I am not up on my Terminator canon.

Why would the machines send back a terminator of inferior quality to the T-1000 or the TX? And is this model (the Substitute Teacher) the same model as "The Arnold"?

Savio 01-13-2008 08:46 PM

I wonder if john fucks the chick terminator.

Savio 01-13-2008 08:53 PM

WHO WOULD GET THAT CLOSE TO THERE MOM NAKED?

D Mac 01-13-2008 08:56 PM

I liked it. River is so fine.

ClockShot 01-13-2008 08:59 PM

Upon further review. I think this could work. May skip the first hour of Raw just to see what happens.

Anyone thinking Summer Glau is the model the other hot chick played in Rise of the Machines?

D Mac 01-13-2008 09:01 PM

I always call her River.

Shaggy 01-13-2008 09:11 PM

I would bet so...

The show didnt seem as horrible as predicted so maybe it will last a season or two. Im willing to bet if it goes for a while he gets a part of her.

thedamndest 01-13-2008 09:19 PM

Sounds like a jump the shark moment.

I wonder if he had a boner. That would have been really awkward.

Skippord 01-13-2008 09:27 PM

Summer Glau is crotchkickingly hot

Best naked ass kicking ever

Jeritron 01-13-2008 10:03 PM

Pretty fuckin good. I hope it doesn't just play out as one big chase though. I'd like it to follow one story arc, with some variety and change to it throughout. On top of that, it'd be pretty awesome if they occasionally had stand alone adventure episodes with other stuff, or within their travels.

Kinda like the X-files meets the old Hulk tv show once in a while, but mostly focusing on the main story arc.

OssMan 01-13-2008 11:46 PM

UGH this ad was on a zillion times in the Giants game and it looks freaking terrible.

TERMINATOR X
thank you

D Mac 01-14-2008 06:20 AM

You look freaking terrible.

Hanso Amore 01-14-2008 06:29 AM

So he sends a robot from the future to protect him

He then sends an engineer back in time to make future weapons and equipment in a small town in the 60s,

he then uses it to go to the future to stop the more distant future.

So how does he end up in normal time. If he goes to the future, his future ends, and this the resistance ends, therefore he cannot send himself to the future.


My head hurts.

Hanso Amore 01-14-2008 06:29 AM

Stupid

Purgatory 01-14-2008 11:51 AM

Actually, the show was decent. The special effects were rather good for a TV series. For some reason, I kept thinking of some of the shoddy effects on SciFi and expected something along those lines.

I'm not sure I liked the casting for Sarah Connor, though. I understand they were going for more character development for her, but I didn't see much more depth than when Linda Hamilton played her. Although, Lena Headly is definately easier on the eyes than Hamilton was. Hamilton did look good in the first Terminator, however.

Summer Glau is VERY easy on the eyes as the fem Terminator.

All in all, it was a decent start. Hopefully, they keep it going strong.

Hanso Amore 01-14-2008 01:12 PM

they also only made the termintaor a chick and picked the chick from Firefly because they knew it would get their legion of nerd fans to watch.

when your ripping from a shitty cancelled show, how good can you be?

ClockShot 01-14-2008 10:01 PM

Not a bad show today. Gonna have to get the DVR ASAP.

Lock Jaw 01-14-2008 10:28 PM

I thought it was pretty "meh" today. I think it needs to find its groove in episodes like this that aren't straight up Terminator chases them and they run episodes.

But it definitely has potential.

Though all this time travel stuff is going to get really confusing now that it is official that The Resistance and Skynet are sending people back all the time and not just to help/kill the Connor family.

D Mac 01-15-2008 03:36 AM

Firefly was the goods.

D Mac 01-16-2008 04:27 AM

Just watched the 2nd episode. This could get interesting.

Skippord 01-16-2008 03:36 PM

God Summer Glau GOD

The Lone Wolf 01-16-2008 08:03 PM

I'm still surprised they are making this if they plan on making another movie in the near future

DS 01-16-2008 08:08 PM

Well if the movies continue the story from after 3, I don't see why you'd be surprised they make a series of what happened before 3.

I dunno she looked pretty hot as a Mexican.

Jura 01-16-2008 10:19 PM

Well she has experience in being a "human weapon" so it was a safe choice I think.

ClockShot 01-21-2008 09:56 PM

Not a bad episode. Lot of things going down now which makes it interesting.

I keep meaning to take a snapshot of that. I'll do it on the next episode.

I did her.

Anyone still watching this show? I am. Mainly because its Terminator.

Ever wonder what the machines would do if they ever killed off all humans? They'd all be like "Huzzah for machines! ........ Sooooo..... what should we do now?"-"I dunno... play hacky-sack?"

Downunder 02-19-2008 05:38 AM

I stopped watching after the 3rd episode - pretty boring.

ClockShot 02-19-2008 06:56 AM

Still watching. Skipped last night because I wanted to catch RAW. Stupid move on my part.

Shaggy 02-19-2008 12:26 PM

I dont think its as good as it could be...

But besides the fact that it is terminator...I watch it so I dont have to watch Cena run his mouth during the first hour of raw.

Jura 02-19-2008 01:14 PM

Watched Raw instead but I always download the new episodes. Also here is the pic Reavant was talking about:

Bummer. I was hoping this would go alot longer. Season finale is already next week. :(

Lock Jaw 02-25-2008 10:09 PM

I totally forgot today was Monday. Dag.

Xero 02-25-2008 10:24 PM

Haven't seen tonight's episode yet, but I find it pretty good and am following it. I obviously wasn't expecting Terminator 2 quality here.

I guess my best way to put it is that it's decent, but I don't want to see a movie based on the show, which is probably where they'll eventually go if it continues (I've heard rumblings that it's getting shitty ratings).

Innovator 02-26-2008 10:45 AM

TIVO it...I like it

mainly cause it's Terminator

Jura 02-26-2008 12:57 PM

Main reason: Summer Glau

Lena Headley is not that bad either.

D Mac 02-27-2008 03:17 AM

Haven't watched this since the 3rd episode. Which was kinda boring. It gets better right?

Reavant 02-27-2008 12:03 PM

i love it

Reavant 02-27-2008 12:05 PM

also the dude from 90210's reaction to watching cameron do ballet was pretty funny... it was like he was watching a fat guy in a g-string working a stripper pole

D Mac 02-27-2008 03:20 PM

Ballet? So she wears tights? :drool:

Lock Jaw 02-27-2008 03:46 PM

She did ballet in that one episode on Angel too...

Kalyx triaD 02-28-2008 05:38 AM

Starting DL'ing the episodes on XBL. Like it so far.

ClockShot 03-03-2008 09:59 PM

Upon further review, I think this show merits a second season.

Got a little teary at that one scene at the park.

Lock Jaw 03-03-2008 10:10 PM

Weak cliffhanger though.

Yeah. Summer's probably gonna walk out of there like nothing happened. That's if Fox goes for another season.

Skippord 03-04-2008 10:46 PM

I support any show that uses Johnny Cash in the end of the season

Kalyx triaD 03-05-2008 10:01 AM

Finished the season. Nice show, though certain plots were left open (John's crush at school with the weird rep for example). Hopefully a second season will give us more Cameron/John moments like the 'conversation' scene. The Car-Bomb-Season-Finale is getting rather cliche'd, though. I'm much more interested in why Agent Ellison was spared by Comortie.

So far the show's 'tight'.

Jura 03-05-2008 02:52 PM

Cromartie. One reason could be that he learned that Ellison was checking out Sarah Connor's file so it would be better to keep him alive and maybe Cromartie can get some info from him or get to Sarah through Ellison.

What Would Kevin Do? 03-05-2008 03:00 PM

Cromartie had no reason to kill Ellison... He wasn't a threat to him, and he wasn't part of the mission... I'm assuming that's what it was. That, or Ellison is important to the events that lead to the robots taking over.

Reavant 03-16-2008 01:20 PM

why dont they just send a machine back in time to build sky-net

Kalyx triaD 03-16-2008 05:44 PM

Cause they'll be no franchise, silly.
