Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles *SPOILER WARNING*
DaOld Man:
Second episode was fantastic!
The differences between this version and T3 are starting to make sense.
And the girl terminator (tin man as sarah calls her) is starting to take on a human like personality.
Sithmaster, sending you a pm about the time travel thing.

I didn't recognize her in the show, but she's been in quite a few movies before this. The biggest movie she was in was as the wife/queen in 300.

I just watched the first episode and the police report says that Sarah is 33. The actor playing John Conner is 20 years old. Guess the kid is a tad old for his character.
It's not as bad as in That '70s Show where the actors who play the kids are 30 years old or older.
I didn't think the first episode was terribly exciting.
I didn't understand why they keep doing these high profile things while they are trying to stay hidden ("rob" a bank with no masks, appear in the middle of a highway buttnaked and just stand there while they are being taped). Besides, something from the future would have police reports and thus would know where all the attacks take place. So every time they fight something from the future would know where they are and potentiall get there ahead of time. Ah well, when time travel is involved I guess anything goes.

Really, she's only supposed to be 33? I figured the kid was supposed to be at least 16, and if she's 33 then she would of had him at 17, which means she would of been 16 or 17 in the first terminator movie, and that doesn't make sense because she was at least in her early twenties in that movie. Thats why I figured she was just a little young for the part. Whatever, if I can suspend disbelief about killer robots from the future, then minor age discrepancies shouldn't be a problem :)

I've got to admit, after actually seeing it I rather enjoyed it. I actually preferred the pilot (which had a major t2 vibe) to the second episode. I honestly wonder how they are going to keep this going into a whole series though. Unless terminators are sent in left and right I just don't see how they are going to have anything to fight after a few episodes.
There were a couple of things that bugged me though. First off, the teminator that got blew up in the pilot just magically flys back together? That's total b.s! If that trick worked then there wouldn't have been a t2 as the original terminator would have just snapped his legs back on and killed Sarah!. And after that he just goes around with clothes on and nobody notices? They are in L.A.! How can a man wearing ski goggles and a face mask in L.A. even amoung homeless people not stand out like a sore thumb? Also it seems extremely unlikely that they could build a time machine with 1960's parts. Unless the key to time-travel turns out to be vaccuum tubes and reel to reel computers. It also bothered me that their long time smuggling buddy would just sell them out like that. He must be a real ass, because from what I understand John basically grew up around him.
I also like the guy who plays John this time around. He seems alot more like the t2 actor and a lot less like the t3 actor (thankfully). The woman who plays sarah I could do without. She's not even a poor man's linda hamilton. Thankfully, even though she's the official lead, this seems to be more of an ensemble cast. Also summer is in it. Thank god for summer. Me loves me some summer. My obsession with Summer Glau borders on peale's obsession with Michelle Trachtenberg. I've gotta say you really don't get to see her grow as an actor though. She went from psycho genius killing machine to mildy retarded killing machine. That's type-casting if I've ever seen it. Thankfully though, she is very attractive. I have to watch the show now even if it stinks. :)
Anyway, I really wish they would have marketed this better. I'm seldom off the mark on if a show is crap or not based on the previews alone and this one threw me for a loop. The previews had far too many close-ups of the new male termintor and the new sarah, which made you think "lame cash-in" and not enough shots of action and/or actual acting ability. So anyone who was thrown off by it please go watch it as it's great! Actually watch it even if you hate it, because this is a new fox series so we'll be lucky if 15 epiodes are produced before they can it. ;)

Agreed. I thought the show was going to be horrible, but I decided to give it a chance since nothing else was on. I really surprised at how good the show has been so far, I just hope they keep it as good as it is.
The old terminator coming back to life was pretty dumb, I thought they would make it so the old terminator and the time machine was going to be analyzed by Cyberdyne and was the reason why skynet was still invented, kind of like how the original terminator was the original reason skynet was invented. Oh well, they've done a good job with the rest of the show so lets just see where they go with it.
