Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles *SPOILER WARNING*
DaOld Man:
New made for TV series airs tonight. (I think its on FOX at 7:00 pm Central.)
I wonder if it will be a sad production, or live up to the Terminator movie series?
Edited to add link a website about it.

Howard_Casto:
From what I've seen on the previews, john and his mother will be befriended by a teenage female terminator who, just like arnie in T2 has a strange emotional attachment to them. The bad guy terminator is also quite young but a guy, who btw isn't big and muscular like arnie, or cold and sinister looking like the t-1000 and thus comes off looking like a tool. Now on top of all of this, these terminators, which by all reports have SUPERIOR powers and blend in better arrive between t2 and t3? So your telling me after those all those failed attempts which will amount to the entire series by the time we get to t3 time they send an inferior female terminator and the resistance only manages to get ahold of the, at that point, ancient t-250 model?
Keep in mind I realize that time-travel isn't linear so they can do stuff like that, but it never stopped the writers of the films from thinking in such a limited linear style. I mean, if it were me, after the first failed attempt (terminator 1) would have sent a terminator back to when Sarah Connor was a child, or better yet an infant. While Sarah and her son ae decidedly special and able to fight back, there isn't any indication that her parents are. Even if a good terminator would have been sent to fight back, it's a lot harder to protect an aging couple with a defensless child in tow.
It'll be about as good as the blade tv series nobody watched. (Which is not very good at all.)
DaOld Man:
I have asked those same questions about going back farther in time to kill Sarah's ancestors.
The first movie sorta led you to think that they only got one shot at the time travel (well two, since arnie and Reese both came through. Remember when reese was being interrogated he told them the resistance blew up the time machine after he went through (I think.) Second movie blew that idea out of the water.)
But also, I think it was mentioned that skynet had limited information about Sarah. It had no record of her before the first movie. (Remember Arnie had to look up her address in the phone book, and started by killing all the listed sarah conners.)
This could explain why they didnt time travel back to sarah's parents or grandparents.
Anyway, I have followed the terminator movies since the first. I will watch the series preview tonight, God willing.
I sure hope it's not a bomb, like the Blade series, man that did suck hind *it, didnt it?
DaOld Man:
Really? I didnt know that. :banghead:
Oh well, might as well watch it on the 52" screen tonight.

Or maybe Sarah would have just grown up with a lightning bolt-shaped scar on her forehead.
