Cool.
From the get go in this pilot, there is no mistaking that this is part of the original Terminator franchise (not the lame Terminator 3 stuff).
No Lena Headey is not Linda Hamilton…she’s different..a far more tortured Sarah Connor and one that is more teacher than mercenary. It is Linda Hamilton that next to the Schwartzenneger was one of the most memorable actors in the Terminator series..so Headey has some pretty big shoes to fill.
Summer Glau is awesome as everyone had expected… so far we know she’s ‘different’ but we don’t know why..i suspect we’ll find out the series goes on. She never answers John’s question about what her model is..so it’s a very curious thing as to who she is responsible to and who exactly sent her back in time to protect John.
The concept that Terminators from the future come back into the past to build parts for super weapons that the Connors get to use is a neat plot tool but thankfully they’ve kept with the original concept that you can’t travel through time without anything but your skin.
BUT and a very big but..i believe this to be the first time that there has been a FORWARD TIME TRAVEL in Terminator..so far everything has been backward.
Overall a great first part episode..nothing in it that didn’t make sense..very tight, well acted and scripted with the right amount of action.

Valuable information. Fortunate me I discovered
your site by chance, and I’m stunned why this coincidence didn’t happened in advance!
I bookmarked it.
