    The transformations aren't complete by episode's end--though at least Dekker chops off his floppy Emo bangs--but it's a step in the right direction for a series that struggled to live up to its potential and pedigree last spring.

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles returns with a solidly enjoyable action-oriented outing.

    My interest ebbs and flows depending not on the plot but on which character is in the action.

    As the series continues to complicate the relations among past, present, and future, Ellison’s part in any of them is increasingly difficult to frame.

    Consistently entertaining. The action sequences were never lacking; Cameron is awesome! Side-stories and flashbacks were interesting rather than just adding to character development. The plot came together well with time, and the finale blew me away. Other than a few episodes, I found this season well paced.… Expand

    Very good show. Puts the movies to shame. Being good, no wonder it got canceled that fast.

    For hardcore Terminator fans this show should make you happy, but not blown away. Season one had very few plot twists or unexpected moments. The special effects are generally solid. There are few "Rambo" moments. Those moments when the good guy should have been shot up badly or killed but somehow managed to get away hurt or untouched. If you are new to Terminator and you are not big on Sci-Fi, odds are this show will do nothing for you. It would have been nice if the casting would not have just cast a pretty little white female as a Terminator. It just seemed like an attempt to get guys to watch. They had a chance to do something unique with that roll and missed it. Maybe season two will find some innovation in the plots and as the actors bond maybe overall quality will come up.… Expand
