Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Aside from the obvious casting difference, which could be understood, I'm pretty pleased with what I saw tonight.

The series is set between Terminator 2 and Terminator 3, and I'd assume it would lead up to the eventual death of Sarah Connor, as noted in the third movie.  The writers seem to be genuinely putting thought into the storyline, though I hope that's not just for the sake of the pilot, and are exploring/better-defining the things previously stated in the movies.  Such as the rules for time-travel, etc.

This female Terminator that's guarding John initially had me groaning, because of its show of emotion... but they acknowledged it in the pilot, actually raising it as a question that can be answered later on in the series.

All in all, it's the only show I've been interested in following in a long time, and it has a lot of potential for some really good stories, so long as they don't dull anything down.  Time will tell, though.

Becasue they dont know how nore do they have the means to encase objects with living tissue. Skynet has that power in the future, but the Rebel humans do not.

They could always shove some small items up their asses. =P

yeah nice episode tonight im wondering now are we gonna have a break for a while have they started production already ?

Ive been watching this show- its pretty good. Im a decent sci fi fan ( i dont like star trek unless its TNG, I hate babylon 5 and farscape)

I dont think they are throwing out t3 with this. its still canon with it. its sorta like Darth Vader with Anakin.

We know Sarah is gonna die- its just all the neat stuff that happens on the way!

And Brian Austin Green- i wasnt expecting him on the show but he's doing really good so far- i hope they dont kill him off soon- the supporting cast really make the show interesting.

Tonight's episode was pretty awsome. I love love love how they are useing more and more lore from T1 and T2. I like the guy they got to play Dr. Silverman too. Next week is the last episode. Said there will be a shocker. Wonder whats gonna happen. I think the FBI guy is gonna get knocked off, he knows to much now.

No, T3 has been thrown out. It is not cannon in relation to SCC.  T3 takes place in 2004, SCC takes place in 2007. There have been TONS of things that T3 would tottaly contradict from SCC. Namely all the knowledge John Connor has now compared to what he knows in T3, plus Dr. Silverman has been institutionalized, but he appears in T3 as the same doctor.

T3 is garbage, and Im happy they've thrown it out.

At least in T3 the Terminator send through time, was more advanced then the one in T2 - while in SCC they use Terminators from T1( Which is kinder ignores a whole point of T2 movie)

Nope,  the Terminators in T1 and T2 were both T-800s,   in T3 he was a T-850. In SCC the 2 terminators we've seen so far have been T-888s


Here is a link showing all sorts of different terminators

Really? and how can  you explaine that in T2 Sky-net send a T-1000 model, yet in SCC they went back to T-8** models?

The T-1000 was an advanced prototype. Arnold explains this to John shortly after they 1st meet in T2.  Prototype means it was not put into production. Since it failed it's mission it likely was never put into production afterward as it could be viewed as a flawed model.

Also the T-800s series most likely have the best success rate in their missions, which is why most of the terminators are based off that model. They are used constantly in the war and have a good track record. If it ain't broke don't fix it mentality.

You know maybe its just me, but i find it kind of illogical to send a less advanced Terminators( which have alredy failed in T1) to do a job, where your "best of the best" just failed.

I already said, they are not the same models, they are T-888s. They are more advanced the the one sent in T1.

Well I find illogical that the Terminator's head flew off and got transported through time in the bubble Sarah, John, and Cameron were in, as that not supposed to be possible. I also find it illogical that that T2 takes place in 1991, but in the tv show it says Sarah escaped the mental hospital in 1997. However I DO find it logical for the creaters of the tv series to keep useing the most popular and obvious fan favorite version of the terminators in the series. Plus I already stated, the T-1000 was a prototype. That does not mean "best of the best" it means there is only one.

Its a TV show. So you your not able to enjoy it because you think the T-800 series sux, then just dont watch it. I for one love it and it wouldnt be Terminator without the T-800 series, because those are truley icnonic. Im sure youll agree, almost anyone can look at one, and know exactly what it is.

P.s. you must not know who I am.

Why didn't Cromartie kill the Agent?

I was blown away by last night's episode. I always thought that a show like this was too good for network television but I have been proven wrong.

When Johnny Cash's "The Man Comes Around" started playing towards the end I got chills down my spine. Such a perfect song to play during that scene.........

"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts, And I looked and behold: a pale horse. And his name, that sat on him, was Death. And Hell followed with him. "

 Can't wait for season 2.

Depends on the audiences' taste. I really didn't like the song and found it that it just added insult to injury when it came to filming the F.B.I. raid(i.e. "We'll just record S.W.A.T. agents drowning in their own pool of blood in a swimming pool."" />  I also never expected the raid to happen fifteen minutes before the show ended only for it to last literally two minutes especially with how the trailer built up on it. I expected it to last three minutes longer.
