Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles #1
I didn't see another thread for this series either on the Television board or this one (feel free to point it out if there is one).
Official website: FOX Broadcasting Company: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles The series picks up a couple of years after the events in T2 and follows Sarah and John Connor, focusing on Sarah's viewpoint. The pilot aired tonight and episode 2 airs tomorrow. |

So far I liked the fact that they stuck to the timeline. However, I am disappointed that they found a way to muck it up already by putting them into a new "when". Say, did they ever mention what model of Terminator that Summer Glau plays? Might she be a TX? And why is it that ALL Terminators are caucasian? I think that it would be by far more interesting if the Terminators were not only of different genders but of different races too. John and Sarah could never trust anyone. And why, WHY don't they have a dog???

Hrm, I've got a few answers to there.
First, thanks for starting the thread dukesmom....I have pictures, so I'll bring those over from photobucket. Next, according to the producers....T3 didn't happen, so there is no TX...however, Cameron (Summer Glau) is an advanced "regular" terminator. The most human yet. Perhaps a T-800 or maybe a T-600. All Terminators won't be, they've got a number of actors hired to play terminators this year, not all of them are male and not all of them are the same race. Good questions about the dogs.....why don't they, it'd seem obvious. __________________

I watched it last night, and I gotta say I really enjoyed it.
I've seen all the Terminator movies, and I like them..but I'm not a HUGE fan, so Im not as picky about it as I could be I suppose. It actually really surprised me when the girl turned out to be a terminator I was like.."aww..she was killed", and then..."Nope! She's not" __________________

First let me start off by saying I've never seen any of the Terminator movies.
Second, the main reason I came to this show was because of Summer Glau. I'm a big fan of her work from Serenity as River and The 4400 as ****zophrenic Tess Dorner. From what I know of Summer she really enjoys science fiction so I was really looking forward to her being a Terminator (as I'd seen promo pics of her body as machine) and I was really looking forward to seeing her kick butt. Third, saw the premiere last night and I loved it! Love the guy who plays John Connor, he is so cute. The woman that plays his mom though looks old enough to be his sister in my opinion. It was fun to see that one Terminator, the bad one, get all beat up to where we could see his internal machinery. It has a kind of Star Wars vibe to it which I like (General Grievous, Darth Vader, Luke with his prostetic hand). I think I'm really going to enjoy this show. __________________

This is what I found at imbd.com "After his mother passed away, John Connor begun a life as a drifter, and deep down, knew what he, his mother, and the T-800, had done at Cyberdyne only delaying the completion of Skynet. A Terminatrix, T-X, sent back from 2032, to assassinate the future officers of TechCom, and the Resistance sent a T-850 to stop her." Now concerning the model number of Summer's Terminator (her model number is not mentioned in the series, but the model numbers of the Terminators from T1, T2 and T3 are mentioned at imdb). Below is what I found at The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) concerning T3. "On the verge of Judgement Day, the most advanced Terminator unit ever, the T-X, arrives from the future to ensure the rise of the machines. The only hope against it is a new upgraded T-800 unit, the T-850, that is sent back by the human resistance. Together with John Connor, it must stop the rise of the machines or all humanity will fall." "Once again, a Terminator is sent to protect John and his future wife, and has a small upgrade which allows it to mimick humans more." (Meaning that the T-800 has been upgraded to a T-850) Now, if what you are saying is true that they have people of different genders and races lined up to play Terminators... I'll be happy! hehehe Egads, it would be FREAKY if they sent back a Terminator that was a child!!! Hrmm. Maybe they decided not to have a dog in the series for some weird reason. However, I think that they should as it would reaffirm the movies. Last edited by TrekGoddess; 01-14-2008 at 02:46 PM |

I've never actually seen the movies, but I love Summer Glau and Lena Headley, so I was watching this for sure. I really liked it, the pilot blew me away and I'm glad it did well in the ratings.

Since Terminator Two: Judgment Day happens to be my favorite movie, I could not be more thrilled that this series was coming on TV.....and better yet..it did not disappoint!! I'm so enjoying it! I always wished that 'the Terminator' could become more of a fandom and now.... __________________

Ratings for the Sunday episode were great: 'Sarah Connor' premiere terminates rivals - Yahoo! News. A better test will be the Monday episode which I will be watching shortly while my laundry continues.
