Best show on TV - period.November 24, 2008 My wife and I were thrilled that the 1st season was released on DVD and hope the others will as well. Not much to say except that if you like the show (and how can you not) you will love this product.
an insult to the films & red-state moron-a-thon.November 24, 2008 3 out of 8 found this review helpful
do you like guns? i mean do you REALLY REALLY like them? preferable when they are being held by babes who despite being on the run from the FBI have 50 dollar beverly hills haircuts and perfectly tailored outfits and push-up bras on? have i got a show for you!
what made the first movie (and portions of the second) great--the gritty realism, the depressing modern day bleakness, the social commentary on atomic warfare and overdependence on technology, and most especially-character arc of linda hamilton's slow revelation of her power and authority, combined with her touching vulnerablility and relatability as a real person you could imagine working with, her transformation from down trodden everywoman to righteous heroine, is completely gone.
i don't know what made me laugh more, "sarah conner's" opening scenes in her stripper/waitress outfit or close-ups of her wrinkle-less, heavily pancake make-upped face. oh, and the fact that she looks closer to her "son's" age than her would-be fiance's.
this show is a careening joyride from "big guns go boom" to "hotties in tight clothes" to "big explosions go boom so more," with no character development, plot originality, or thoughtful plausibility and relevance to reality or to our time. i know--it's an action series, i shouldn't expect more, right? but i do. and also, i find when we are living in an era of terrorism and economic instability, the glorifcation of automatic weapons and the ridiculous depiction of these "on the run" outlaws driving brand new $40,000 + ford f-150 trucks and wearing expensive off-the-rack abercrombie and fitch / ed hardy outfits particularily, and unintentionally humourously insulting.
what lazy writing and directing! some scenes are literally lifted DIRECTLY FROM the film franchise--and these would be the better, more clever ones.
i agree with another reviewer here--this is a testosterone-soaked soap opera, and not even a very good one at that. if this is what people are watching, i shudder for america. on the plus side, should keep the porn industry and pistol-revolver-shotgun, AK-47, bazooka, handgun manufacturers in the black for many a year to come. gratutitous, mindless sex and violence. GO FOX!!!
surprisingly complex and thoughtfulNovember 8, 2008 Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has all of the things you would expect from an action show: things blow up, people get shot, cyborgs tear apart sets and wreck havoc on each other in satisfyingly flashy and violent ways. But what I wasn't expecting was how multi-layered the plots become. Common themes explored are the journey from boy to leader of mankind, Biblical stories, references to The Wizard of Oz, (particularly the Tim Man as Cameron, in search of a heart), and the idea that the humans must become as ruthless and unsentimental as the machines to survive, while the machines must become more human in order to hunt them.
Moments of sublime beauty (Summer Glau doing ballet) are in stark contrast with cruelty, despair and dysfunction. While it might start a little slow, when the show gets to Dungeons and Dragons it kicks it into high gear and never lets up. This is the rarest kind of tv show: the smart action show.
Great start!October 30, 2008 Great beginning, now let's see this story unfolds and characters/ characters' relationships grow stronger. Great acting, especially Summer Glau and Brian Austin Green.
Sarah SmileOctober 24, 2008 Great purchase, love the bonus features. Can't wait for the next season. I must have for any Terminator fan.
