The Sarah Connor Chronicles Premiere: All Action, All the Time We were a bit worried about the television adaptation of the Terminator movies; nevertheless we tuned in for part 1 of The Sarah Connor Chronicles last night. We liked it. Lena Headley is no Linda Hamilton, but she doesn't have to be. She give the Sarah Connor character her own twist and so far, she's really doing a good job. Thomas Dekker (Claire's schoolfriend from Heroes) seems quite at home in the role and is likable.
Summer Glau as the Terminator sent back in time to help John and Sarah Conner does an excellent job. She shows up as a cute teenaged girl in John's new school. When the substitute teacher opens fire on John as soon as he answers roll call, she springs into action. She's really cute, which has led some fans to speculate on a future robot/human romance storyline. And speaking of action, the action sequences are feature film quality. How they're going to keep this up for the 13 ordered episodes is beyond us. This is some expensive tv making. The tv show essentially takes up where T2 left off; the events of T3 never happened. The writers are tinkering just a bit with the storyline to make it work for tv and that works with us. We'll be tuning in tonight for part 2 of the premiere, which airs at 9:00 p.m. Eastern/8 p.m. Central time on Fox.
