THE TERMINATOR IS BACK! For viewers who find themselves underwhelmed by the subtleties of synchronized swimming, dressage and the shot put competition, FOX offers an alternative with the entire action-packed first season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, airing over the last two weeks of the Olympics games!
Garbage front-woman Shirley Manson has announced she will be pursuing a career on the small screen and joining the cast of the Fox TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Last night Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles had its long-awaited debut, and I must say, as a fan of the first two Terminator movies I have mixed feeling about this first episode. I tend to feel that the first two movies are canon and anything beyond them is an irrelevant exploitation of a creative sci-fi concept. I realize for many they are nothing more than flashy action movies, but I feel that they dig rather deeply into the philosophical question, “How do the things we do today affect the reality of tomorrow”. I love the idea of time as a fluid dimension where reality is always changing and there are many different planes of existence. Because the first two movies thoroughly addressed this question and seemed to resolve it nicely, anything beyond is an attempt to capitalize on an already popular idea.
Knowing where I come from on this; on to the show. It was painful to watch the entire first 45 minutes of the show because it was all taken directly out of the movies just under a different set of circumstance. The opening sequence with Sarah dreaming about a Terminator attack and the world being destroyed by a nuclear bomb really established that this was not going to be any different than any other Terminator production. For those of you who have never seen the movies this could be a plus. You will know most of what happened in the first two movies without having to watch them. I feel that is a good thing for the survival of the show, but I think there could have been better ways to achieve that without boring or disappointing the core fan base. Even the delivery of the terminator line “Come with me if you want to live” was forced and truthfully, overused. If it isn’t Arnold saying it, that cheesy line just doesn’t work. And how many more times can we watch a Terminator chase a car, or have its skin ripped off (which magically healed on the protector Terminator)? Never mind that there are far more advanced Terminators out there, why are we back to the metal under skin jobs?
