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

    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.

    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.

    I feel a show like this suffers "critically" from science-fiction syndrome: the general tendency for science fiction in general to be misunderstood or ignored in the "serious", "critical" tradition; much like science fiction novels tend to be considered as separate from more literary works. That being said, this show deals with many science fiction themes - and many more personal, humanistic themes - responsibly and thoughtfully for a major network television show.
