Alright after the euphoria of seeing a new Terminator the second part of the pilot was a bit of a let down.
Sure since the first Terminator we know that Terminators keep coming back, again and again and again.
In this series it looks like there will be multiple Terminators coming at the Connors. While that may make sense in a way..in others its annoying. The Terminator that was blasted in the Bank vault in 1999 should have been toast.
The missing dad syndrome for John is interesting and i’m sure that we’ll see plenty more of that in the future.
Again the fact that the Summer Glau Terminator takes orders from no one in the present is somewhat annoying.
But the fact that we’ve got freedom fighters from the future coming back in time too makes this even more complex.
Still, week after week, wave after wave of Terminator coming against the Connors – it’s going to be a really tough sell to keep this show fresh.

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.

Who says that good things come to those who wait? Terminator spinoff TV series Sarah Connor Chronicles isn’t on broadcast TV until Jan 13th but you – YES YOU can watch it tomorrow Friday Jan 4th online – for free.
Fox will post the pilot episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor ChroniclesYahoo! for 24 hours beginning Jan. 4 at 9 p.m. PT/12 a.m. ET. The commercial-free premiere will also feature an exclusive introduction by star Lena Headey (Sarah Connor).
Is this an indication that Yahoo! actually is Skynet? HA! I sure hope that Yahoo! has provisioned enough bandwidth for this event…i’d also suspect that bootleggers and pirates will find their way to swipe it off Yahoo! once available and you’ll see Sarah Conner Chronicles all over BitTorrent too. Hopefully it doesn’t detract from the official broadcast launch on Fox. WE NEED THIS SHOW. The SciFi genre Needs This to be successful…too many SciFi TV shows have died…let’s hope this one has a longer life span.
Show Me SciFi
