Well this week premiered the new series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.... and drum roll please.... I loved it. I thought it was brilliant that they decided to set the show basically in the present. The subject matter is very dark, but I thought they did a really good job of making the story dark without making the whole show dark the way that the new Battlestar Galactica and Bionic Woman series do. I also thought they did a good job of recreating the Sarah Connor character to be a bit more likable. Who can ever forget Linda Hamilton's portrayal in Terminator 2. Didn't that pretty much kill her career? I'm eager to see where the show goes with respect to the creativity aspect of the future entering the present. One thing I did not like in the Matrix was that although these guys had all these amazing capabilities, the movies relied on really long car chases. It really detracted from the setup. I really hope that we don't just see car chase after car chase.
So far so good. Hopefully this one will make it.
