Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Well. So much for the hype. The Sarah Connor Chronicles turns out to be a yet another mediocre TV series invaded our tube which existence merely for the amusement of coach-potatoes, and someone like me. In short, this serie is a Terminator film all over again that instead runs for a two hours, runs an entire season. That, and the (so far, i hope) absence of Mr. Governator and Robert Patrick.

The series timeline begins in 1999. A several years after the events in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Familiar setting, Sarah and John Connor are on the run again for an umpteenth time, chased by a yet another killer cyborg sent from the future. And just like its film, there's another cyborg sent from the future with sole purpose to protect John from the killer cyborg. At the end of the first episode however, all three (Sarah, John, and the bodyguard cyborg) time-traveling to a year 2007. You know, Skynet, must stop the robot wars, all that sort of reasonings. In itself, if you'd seen Terminator 3, would ruin the timeline, so my best guess is that there'd be another time-traveling stuffs before the season finale. My opinion prevailed though, the first episode was an okay one, it promises of things yet to come. Had it happened in the film, the film would be worth it to sit through. However, a whole season? Well, my interest was greatly reduced by the end of the first episode.

I'm sure you'd be able to guess what was the girl in the poster's role for this serie. If not, go rent yourself Terminator films.
