Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles (UK thread)
Grasshopper:
I’ve noticed that there’s still an active thread about the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Unfortunately, I daren’t look inside in case I come across a spoiler. For some reason in the UK we’re about a month behind the US, so I’m starting a UK thread.
So far series two has been a mixed bag. Overall I’d say it’s on a par with the first series. There’s only been one truly bad episode (the one where they go and see the psychiatrist) but there have been several mediocre ones.
The episode that I saw yesterday, which is the one where they kill Cromartie, was truly excellent, possibly the best of the series. I just can’t get enough of gunfights set to inappropriate music.
Despite the occasional weak episode it’s still easily the best thing on TV at the moment. However, one thing I don’t like about the TV series is that the terminators just seem too easy to kill. In the films there was no way that you could kill a terminator with a bullet, even a high calibre one.

the one where they "kill" Cromartie they had 2 people shooting him (in the head area) with automatics and then the "cameron" hit him close range with a shotgun that had shells in it, not shot, it pierced the metal and damaged the CPU
The weakest thing about the show is the fact they have a liquid terminator (T-1000) holding an office position, I actually liked the therapist episode, gave the characters some dimension, I just dont like HOW many people and terminators that have been sent back

The next few episodes are really good also. The last few have been the highlight of the series IMHO.
And I think we've been pretty good about NOT having spoilers in the other thread. Just in case you do look in the other thread.
Great series so far!

Well I agree that in real life it would be difficult for even a machine made out of a strong alloy to survive such an onslaught. But the Terminator series has never been about total realism. For example, in the movies Arnie is shot at by dozens of cops for a long period of time and only sustains some superficial damage.
Also, in one of earlier episodes a terminator is actually killed by a single shot to the head. OK, strictly speaking he’s not dead at that point, and they have to burn him to finish him off, but that single shot renders him incapable of fighting back. If a good marksman can potentially take out a terminator with a single shot then suddenly they’re not that scary anymore.

They showed a short preview of the next episode and it did look very promising.
