Sarah Connor Chronicles - Robots Can Be Sexy

by Toni

sarah-connor-chronicles-tv-07.jpgI wasn’t as impressed with the second ep of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I checked the reviewer at EW.com again, though, and she seems to have liked it even more than the first ep. Maybe I was distracted or something, because mostly what I saw was lots of people running around, lots of people (or cyborgs) being slammed into walls, random gunfire and dead bodies. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against those things, it’s just that it was kinda lame. Or lame-ish . . . I just felt like there was no point other than the running and the slamming, which really isn’t (or shouldn’t be) a point in itself.

It felt a little disjointed to me as well, as though there wasn’t an actual storyline, but just a director off screen shouting stuff like “OK, now slam Summer into that wall” or “Linda, you run the truck into that person.” Like they just reacted to directions without actually following a script. Maybe I’m being too hard on them. Maybe I wasn’t paying close enough attention. I’m gonna give them a few more weeks and then we’ll see. Judging by the number of times I’ve seen the commercial for the show since Monday, Fox is planning on keeping it around for a while. Which is good, cause that was another one of my worries. That Fox would terminate the Terminator before things got going.

One other issue? I feel weird undertones of robot sex and I just don’t think I’m ready for any of that. Unless it involves Spike.

About Watching The CW

The CW was born in September 2006, and inherited a mixture of programming from its parents the WB and UPN. The CW has a diverse line up from Monday night comedy to Friday Night Smackdown. In between the laughs and the wrestling are alternate reality or fantasy based shows (Supernatural, Smallville), ones that are fit to bursting with bright young things (Veronica Mars, One Tree Hill) and don't forget all the wannabes trying to make it in reality programming (The Beauty & the Geek, America's Next Top Model, Pussy Cat Dolls). This blog will review, recap, share spoilers and other cool finds related to the CW's programming.
