    To be honest I absolutely hated it. I mean she blew off a terminators head with a shotgun come on and the love story just seemed very lame in my opinion. I'm actually glad they ended the show. I'm sorry I have to be one of the few negative reviews on this page but the show was just bad. I mean I liked all the movies better than this show. I mean they use the time Machine wayyy too much and yeah it's just not good at all in my opinion. Terminator 2 is still the best.… Expand

    As interesting as this show was last year, that is how ridiculous it is this year. It has become the "Charlie's Angels" of sci-fi, with plenty of "Oh, give me a break" moments (the limping terminator who can't seem to be outrun, even in a speeding vehicle. Please!). When they had the Conner crew move into a big, middle class home when none of them have any discernible income, that was when it finally jumped the shark.… Expand

    Well, we do have a protagonist, who is getting increasingly unlikeable, a mother who is close to being clueless and a Terminatrix with amnesia. Then there is a cop who is linking the Terminator story to Christianity. This show does not live up to its promises and it is doubtful that it will go beyond Season 2.

    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.

    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.
