Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles *SPOILER WARNING*
Xiaou2:
I havent seen more than 5 min of the show yet, (caught the tail end) but that
Terminator is 'Summer Glau'. I saw her in the movie 'Serenity' and she was
simply amazing. Great acting, and also, her fight sceens were great too! And
ooo, she is dreamy :)
I have to say, I saw the movie Serenity on accident when HBO was on in the
background... and I figured it would be some hokey b rate movie. Boy was I
wrong! That movie kicked some serious A**! :) You HAVE to see it!
Awesome Story. Awesome Action. Awesome Acting.

You should probably check out the show Firefly because Serenity was a continuation of the show.

Bumping this back up for discussion. The wife talked me into watching this show. Here are some of my thoughts:
I was casually entertained by the first 2-3 episodes. Not bad, but not great either. I have no clue what they were thinking with the half-assed suicide girl subplot. That was extrmely poorly executed.
The last 3-4 episodes have been really good though. I think this show has the potential to be really good. I wouldn't be surprised if it is cancelled though, mainly due to the fact that a future trilogy has been planned with Christian Bale as the lead. I doubt they want a conflicting small screen story going on.
Some random thoughts:
-Summer Glau is HOT. I never thought she was very pretty in Firefly or Serenity, but my, my she has matured.
- I have accepted the woman playing Sarah. She does a pretty darn good job.
- The casting of John was done very well. He seems to be a melding of the T2 and T3 John's.
- I accept the time jump forward and the role of T3. The time jump forward served 2 purposes: it brought the cast into current times to reduce budget costs (no making sure sets reflected 1999), it also served the purpose that T3 never happened. (well, the nuclear holocaust would have still happened, but I'll overlook that ;)).
- The Fed. character is pointless. His part in the newest episode was cool though. >:D
- I really like the mystery behind the female Terminator. I think there is something VERY special about her as has been alluded to, and that the Turk plays an important role more for her than for Skynet in general.
-Final thoughts: I really like this show now and hope that it gets another season just to see where it goes. I think the show could do a better job tying up the mythology than 3 new movies could do. Money talks though, and blockbuster movies make a hell of alot more money than a mid-level TV show.
* note, just in case you didn't pick up on it, pay attention to the music at the end of the newest episode.

We have no way of knowing that yet. He could easily do something that is very very important. His intercepting the hand and taking it to a place Sarah could intercept it could be hugely important. Sarah can't get it from an evidence lockup to destroy it but she got it easily from the trunk of his car.
shardian:
Yeah, now it is pretty much obvious he is gonna become an ally to them. So yes, he makes much more sense now. He was just treading water up until then on the show and it was starting to bug me.
