Maybe its Time to Terminate
I’m just not liking Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles yet. I should have liked last week’s ep. It had both Andy Umberger and Brian Bloom in it and I like both of them. I wanted to be happy with it, I wanted it to be amazing. I want to like this show, but it’s not happening. I’m not exactly sure why, but for some reason, I never can seem to actually follow the show each week. It seems pretty scattered and plotless to me. Like the basic point of the entire series is to just keep running around.
It makes me wonder why they wouldn’t have based the show on events that happened after Terminator 3, the Adventures of John Connor, or something. It just seems like you’re wide open to do whatever you want if you start there, instead of having to deal with stuff that already happened and trying to make your story fit.
Or maybe, if they were stuck on having Sarah, they could have shown her between the first Terminator movie and Terminator 2. Of course, you can’t have a woman be pregnant forever so you’d eventually have to have a baby, and I guess a baby boy isn’t nearly as big of a ratings draw as a cute teenage boy, so maybe that would be a problem.
It looks like there are five more episodes in the works right now and just maybe they will be better. I think another thing that just makes me mad is that Fox kills off so many good shows, and then keeps shows that kinda aren’t so good. As for instance, Drive, which was really interesting and fun was killed off after only like two episodes, and so far this show, which is no where near as good, has lasted for four. I guess we’ll see.
