The Sarah Conner Chronicles
Set in 1999, after the events of Terminator 2, Sarah and John Conner are hunted by a Terminator in New Mexico. They are also being followed by an FBI agent. Although Miles Dyson is dead (a murder that the Conners are being hunted by said FBI for), SkyNet was still built and made operational.
I’m currently around half way in to it.
Whats good so far? Summer Glau (River in Firefly/Serenity), gun play, Terminators.
Whats bad so far? Summer Glau as a Terminator, one-liners (“class dismissed”).
It’s only the pilot so I’ll let lots slide – like the fact that according to the timeline, Sarah Conner should be dead. Maybe they’re just ignoring Terminator 3…
Still it bears some resemblence to the second film, what with the monologues by Sarah Conner, the show starting with the headlights on the road. It doesn’t have the same flare as the movies, but that’s probably because it doesn’t have the same budget as the movies.
