The Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles Review Summary

The Terminator arc just stepped up a notch with the TV series The Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles. Many fans of the Arnold Schwarzenegger movies were looking forward to this series and now say they aren't disappointed, as the series has been "action-packed from the very beginning!" They feel the actors in The Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles are paying "great homage to the characters in the movies," answering questions that had been left unanswered. Of particular interest to many is "seeing the development of John Conner." TV seems to have made this old favorite better with "a dose of TV Land action, a hint of romantic tension, suspense, and humor." "As always with Terminator, you will not be disappointed."

I have been looking forward to this show for awhile, and I have not been disappointed! It's action packed from the very beginning!! I love the actors they got to play the parts, I think they portray the characters wonderfully, and pay great homage to the characters in the movies! I also like the humor that is thrown in, making it just a fun show to watch! I takes me back to my childhood. I loved the Terminator movies, and was "in love" with John Conner as an adolescent girl! I think they have done a wonderful job with this show and look forward to following it!

The Sarah Connor Chronicles freshen the franchise with a dose of TV-Land action, a hint of romantic tension, suspense, and humor. Sarah Connor has evaded the machines into 1997, and her heroically-destined teenage son John just wants to be a normal kid. When a beautiful female Terminator from the future is sent back to the past by future John to protect his teenage self, they are propelled into a series of events which lead to jumping forward 10 years in time to the present day. A fun, fresh spin on the Terminator universe. I especially find compelling the character of Christian FBI Agent... review »

The Sarah Conner Chronicles is some the most fun you spend watching t.v. It has a great story and it's action packed. The series fits in well with the canon of the orignal films. And it answers so many questions about John and Sarah's life on the run, and what's to come in the future. I can't wait to see how things unfold in the new season. I love the addition of Brian A. Green as John's future uncle, and I love Summer Glau as the female terminator. She plays it with just enough edge to make you believe she is some sort of cyborg, but know just how to tone it down when it is time for the robot... review »

When I found out about this show, I was a bit skeptical. I wasn't sure if they were really going to pull it off, but I am a huge Terminator fan so I decided to give it a try. I was really happy with the way that it turned out. I absolutley love this show. I record it on my dvr just so that I make sure that I wont miss a show. The charactors that they have playing do a really good job and they really pull you into the story. I highly reccomend this show.

If you were a fan of the original Terminator movie, or the second, you'll love this. It's back to the great action, great plot, and moral dilemma.

The actors are excellent, especially the girl playing Cameron (the terminator). You'll remember her from Firefly. No one can keep a straight face like her.

The new season also is the debut of Shirley Manson's acting career (singer from Garbage). Good casting all around.

I am a big fan of the Terminator trilogy and have seen the movies numerous times. This TV show is great and the choosen actors and actresses are fantastic in playing John and Sarah in 'the between movies life'. The actress playing John's Terminator protector is great. There is a lot of the movie timelines in this show, a good amount of humor and a lot of great action. Hope this show lasts for many seasons.

Ok, the show is good. But would it have hurt them to come up with main characters that looked like the ones on the original Terminator? I mean come on. How did Sarah Conner end up having dark brown hair in this one? It has been a discussion at my house about how true this could be. Has anyone else ever noticed that some of the movies come out then something happens in real life just like on a movie that you watched? Anywho, can someone please get rid of that fugly redhead on there. Every time she is on the TV, my hubby has to comment about how ugly she is. Tends to be annoying... review »

Okay so i really think that this show should be off air. Honestly they should be using that hour to put on some better show like fringe or bones. This shows are worth sitting down and watching. The sara conner chronicles really who wants to watch it. It doesnt even have a connection to the movies. they stoped making movies obviously because they thought that there wasnt any reason to keep it going on. Well that is my opinion on that. I would rather sit down for that hour and watch the spanish channel.
