TV: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

[Munsu]

I'm pretty sure that's the case... and I won't discount the possibilty either of Cameron being terminated, and then John and Sarah running into some girl played by Summer Glau a couple of episodes later.

I wish Sarah would've killed Andy Goode though... I want to see her kill someone herself, maybe with a pencil or some hardcore shit like that.

I want to see what type of development goes one with the blonde chick in the chemistry class, I'm quite curious on how they are going to use her because I'm quite sure this show won't have John staying in that school very long and that the school scenes will be quite minimal.

Well, with little to watch on tv as of late, here's a clip of Lena Headey on Letterman:

She looks hot here... she really isn't looking as hot on the tv show for some reason. Also, Letterman was clueless about Terminator... I don't know if it was all show, or if he really doesn't know shit about it.

I'm hoping that the show comes back next week... don't know why they took a break after only 3 weeks on the air

[Munsu]

Because of the State of Union Address.

Here's a nice article about Summer Glau and Terminator while we wait for the next episode:

Did you guys see the Terminator kicking the Super Bowl's robot ass during the Superbowl? I thought it was great stuff. You can see it here, it's on the "Fox/NFL Promos" section:

Spoilers....



Last night's episode had a ton of action, I thought it was a good episode. We learn a bit from Cameron's past and we also learn how Skynet plans to take control of the world after it explodes all those nukes. John kicked a bit of ass, and I thought that he taking the key from the Terminator on standby was good stuff. The new Cromartie is great, I like that actor plenty... seen him a lot as of late (No Country For Old Men, The 4400, Deadwood, etc.). He gives a Robert Patrick vibe... it was cool when he went to the house of the dude he was impersonating and kicked his ass... the mirror scene was good stuff. Oh and Cyborg from Smallville is an FBI agent; he looks like he'll be an interesting character alongside Agent Ellison. I wonder if Cameron has some ulterior motives other than protecting John, seeing as she kept some metal bar apparently in secret from the Connors. Sarah also landed a couple of nasty punches on the episode... those were nice to see.

As always, you can check the next episode's preview here:

Im guessing the bar was for self repair incase she needed it at some later date....but the way that scene was filmed, it was sort of implied that there was more to it.

Also, i guess the 'cameron was made by humans' theory doesn't hold up anymore....she said that she was made by skynet in this episode. I guess she was just reprogrammed like the rest of the terminators. However theres definately more to her then her previous counterparts. the way she said "john somtimes does these things" when sarah was complaining about him being rash.....you get the vibe that she's known him on a more personal level then any of the other models. especially since she keeps saying "my john".

[animus]

So what's the general opinion on how the series is so far? Been looking for something new to watch. I'd read through the comments, but I don't like/want to be spoiled.

[Assassin]

I think most people following it are liking it. Its a pretty good seires, a unique concept (in its own way). It has a healthy dose of action and mystery to keep you comming back for more.

And ofcourse summer glau (the friendly terminator) is just gorgeous.

[Munsu]

Indeed, if you ignore all the little bitches who think the world is going to end because this is not a James Cameron project, for the most part everyone is enjoying the series. I have to say that I'm really hooked with it... and I'd say it's the series as of late that I've been more eager to watch the next episode of.

As for episode 4:

I'll say it again Garret Dillahunt will make a great Terminator... I might even go as far as say he might become the greatest Terminator ever. He has a creepy voice and he always has that psycopath look that will work great for this character. He seems to have bulked up a bit too. I think he's one of the most underrated actors around... in all the places I've seen him, I thought he has nailed the character perfectly. I tell you, having him around as the Cromartie is going to take this series to a higher level.

[Death13a]

I love this series; it like 45 minute terminator movie each week. And a terminator of the week showcase. I would have liked it more if there were different terminator models.


PS. Munsu you went too far heretic! Correct your ways or be terminated for the name of Schwarzenegger.

[Munsu]

Lol, as awesome as Arnold is he can't act for shit... still a great Terminator. I just think that this guy will pull off an awesom Terminator with his creepy voice and psycopathic demeanor.

[TwisT]

Yeah i must say that he is an awesome actor. Last i saw him in was The Assassination of Jesse James. and he was awesome in that too. Like Munsu said, he will take this to a whole new level.

[Munsu]

With the next episode being hours away, here a couple of clips from tonight's episode in case you're interested:

Looks like it'll be an action packed episode.

[TwisT]

Ahahaha loved the second clip.

"I call Shotgun!"
"I call 9mm!"

Looks awesome.

Here's a good blog post by the series creator and executive producer Josh Fieldman:
http://sarahconnor.wetpaint.com/page/Producer%27s+Blog

It explains some of the concerns we were having earlier, especially the head time-travel thing. Now that we have the official explanation, we can move on... I know I had a while ago.

Anyways, tonight's episode was great, plenty of action and some funny moments... but I'm really waiting for next episode, since apparently it has some future scenes. You can check the previews as always on this site:

[Assassin]

ya, that was a good ep. i hope they keep the new reese around for a little bit. it would be kool to have someone from the future to help them out every now and then.

also, major character develpment for cameron....she felt grief! . Also, the uncle obviously knows here from somewhere. I wonder what thier story is. maybe she was the one that tortured him in that labour camp or something.

[Munsu]

Well, I liked last night's episode.

We got to see plenty from the future, quite a few cool scenes here and there. So what is in the basement? Is Cameron "going bad"? I liked the ending with Derek killing Andy, and then knowing that he lied to Sarah. I like that he's not as "noble" as his brother was or appeared to be.

As always, previews for the next episode:

She definitely has something else going on but I don't think she is going bad. The one I would be worried about is Reese that dude just screams psychopath. I wouldn't put trying to kill John past him. If he decides that the future would be better off without John Connor I'm sure he would just put a bullet in him and if he already blames John for his brother's death then thats even more motivation.

I feel just the same, and I think that's what the writers were going for... especially with having him aloof from John in the future, not knowing him, and pretty much pissed off at him (because of Kyle).

I certainly don't think that Cameron is turning bad, though I'm sure she'll do some stuff that will mess things up, but I think the writers certainly want us thinking she will.

[Assassin]

i got the impression that once he finally met john in the future and got his mission he understood what happened to his brother, and was at peace with it. I can't see him killing john. But he probably will try to mess with cameron. i wonder what thier history is....he said she's a liar and stuff. and cameron said she didn't know what she'd done to him cuz they'd reprogrammed her, but everything shown in the episode was after she was reprogrammed.
