Sarah Connor

[hils]

Let me begin by saying that I am a huge fan of the first two Terminator movies (mention the third and I will cover my ears and yell 'lalala'). Sarah Connor is pretty much my favourite female character ever so I was cautious when I started to watch this.

It has faults, yes, but it's not bad. I miss Linda Hamilton and Summer Glau hasn't quite got to grips with not displaying emotion. She keeps giving these little smiles. LOL.

The plot was a bit iffy in places. I wasn't keen on the idea of them sending someone back to build futuristic weapons and I really didn't see the need for them to set it in 1999 and then have them jump forward to 2007.

It was a nice touch that they mentioned Miles Dyson and brought his family back into it briefly. I have a feeling we may see more of them later.

The FBI agent intrigues me. I think he's going to wind up on Sarah's side in the end. He already seems to be halfway there.

Of course all of this is pointless in the end because, according to the film I deny exists, the war is never actually prevented. Are they going to re-write it? I kind of hope so. LOL!

I think I needs a Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor icon.

Terminator 3 is a different timeline to the series timeline. You're supposed to forget about it. Go here

I'm intrigued. I couldn't make it all the way through the pilot I hated it so much. But then, I had a hard time with the movies - not because they were bad but because I really hate Arnie THAT much! It'll be interesting to compare your thoughts to my boyfriend's as the two of you watch it. As for me - I'm done with it! *grin*

Hee!!! Hey, Arnie is perfect for a character devoid of emotion and personality ;)

If you go to Linda Hamilton Online (LHO) you'll find lots of pictures of LH, including quite a few from 'The Terminator' and 'T2'.

"I really didn't see the need for them to set it in 1999 and then have them jump forward to 2007"

They explain that in episode 2 and re-affirm it in episode 3, its a reasonably weak reason, but meh, it at least makes sense.

Summer Glau also seems to forget that she had emotions in the pilot and becomes completely cold and thoughtless once more. Bit weird after her performance as an almost normal teenage girl joking with John at school.

I still cant decide after the next few episodes if i actually like it, but its Terminator... gotta give it a chance lol

I've downloaded episodes 1-3 which I will maybe watch tonight. I'm still willing to give it a chance at this point
