For some weird reason I had totally forgot that a new Terminator TV show was in development. I have watched the first three episodes and was surprised it’s not as bad as I expected.

I’m not too hot for the cast, Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker and Summer Glau. But if you were craving for a new action show, you will be served. Forget about the slow paced Heroes, or the mind bending Prison Break. This show has a very long name; Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and takes itself very seriously. Sarah Connor is still ready to fight robots to make sure her son his safe and Skynet never comes to existence and destroy the human race. She is sure she can still stop it what ever happens and she is not giving up. Similar to the plot of the previous terminator movies, future Skynet sends assassins to kill John Connor (leader of the human resistance), and the future John sends a reprogrammed Terminator to protect him. It’s a constant struggle that could last until the day Skynet takes over in the present. Those events happened in the third Terminator movie, so you could say that this movie is not a direct sequel but is evolving in a parallel storyline.

The movies deserve the name of classics and this series is a nice nod to expand the universe. You can be sure that I will be tuning in every week to get my fix. The next new episode will air on FOX, on Monday February 4th.
