Terminator, The Sarah Conner Chronicles

[somerfrost]

After watching the two part pilot, I'm hooked....excellent new show! The cast seems really well selected for their parts and this is a well-written show so far. Following in sequence after Terminator II (they seem to be pretending that III never happened...good idea seeing as how III sucked), the direction of James Cameron is dead on...this could be a major hit (or not as folks seem to avoid SF in mass). To me, the show has been stolen thus far by Summer Glau in her role of Cameron...write me off as a rabid Whedonverse fan but many of the blogs by on-line TV critics agree...she rocks!! I hope Fox continues to support this show, it's 18 million plus viewers for the first hour rank it as the biggest initial hit in 10 years...of course it didn't hurt to be broadcast immediately following the Dallas-Giant playoff game on Sunday. Monday's figures aren't in yet but obviously one expects a drop...still, it could compete with House as Fox's biggest hit series...or not! If you like Scifi, especially the Terminator series (I and II, don't hold III against it)...catch the show this Monday. Fox also has free on-line episodes at their site, they are currently showing part two of the pilot.
