Product Description

Amazon.ca

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is the weekly TV series based on the hit action/sci-fi movie franchise that made Arnold Schwarzenegger a star. Lena Headey (300) plays the title character, the mother who bears the burden of raising--and protecting--the future salvation of mankind, her teenage son, John (Thomas Dekker, Heroes). As explained in both of James Cameron's Terminator movies (this series considers the third film, Rise of the Machines, not part of its mythology), the computer system Skynet has taken over future Earth, and an adult John Connor is the leader of the human resistance, causing the robots to send android assassins--called Terminators--back in time to kill John before he can become a hero. John's would-be assassin--introducing himself as a substitute teacher named Cromartie (Garret Dillahunt)--tracks him down, but John gets a fighting chance with the surprise arrival of a benevolent Terminator (Summer Glau, Firefly) named Cameron (get it?), who declares, "Come with me if you want to live" (another nod to the movies).

Thus begins an uneasy partnership among Sarah, John, and Cameron, with Sarah not trusting Cameron and Cameron trying to carry out her mission (some of her deadpans are hilarious) and John caught in the middle (lucky John!). The trio time-travels ahead to 2007 but still can't escape the relentless Cromartie, and also dogged by an FBI agent (Richard T. Jones) who thinks Sarah Connor might be more than just a fugitive. And while the series' fierce action looked like it might slide into a simple Chase of the Week formula, things got interesting with our heroes' discovery of a chess machine called the Turk that might be the first incarnation of Skynet, and a surprising addition to the team (Brian Austin Green). Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles debuted on Fox in January 2008, and the midseason start and the writers' strike kept the season to a mere nine episodes. But it was picked up for a full second season in 2008-2009. --David Horiuchi

"I can't keep running," Sarah says. But for humankind's sake, she must. So Sarah (300's Lena Headey) moves from place to place. Takes new identities. And never stops battling killer androids that know her son John is fated to lead the resistance against the Skynet computer seeking to dominate Earth -- if he survives. The man-vs.-machines tale that's thrilled millions gets a reboot in this series set between events of the second and third Terminator movies. Will John Connor (Heroes# Thomas Dekker) seize his destiny? Will a geek's unbeatable chess program evolve into Skynet? Can the teen-cutie 'droid (Summer Glau of Firefly) who claims she is John's protector be trusted? Answers -- and the fight for the future -- are here and now.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best new show of the year, Jun 18 2008
By G_R_E_G "G_R_E_G" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
The Sarah Connor Chronicles is definitely the best new show to come out this year. It takes place where Termiantor 2: Judgement Day leaves off. We follow Sarah Connor (Lena Headley, 300) and her son John Connor (Thomas Dekker, Heroes) are runing from Skynett, a futuristic company with evil intentions, and the FBI. Sarah and John are protected by a terminator sent from the future named Cameron (Summer Glau, Serenity).

The characters are all interesting and the show keeps you on the edge of your seat from the first episode right to the shocking final scene of the finale. The series completely makes up for the third Terminator film. This collection is a must-own for Terminator fans and anyone who loves great television.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Series!, Aug 19 2008
By R. McCarville - See all my reviews

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Season 1 [Blu-ray]

This was one of, if not THE best new series of last season. Despite the writer's strike shortening this series' first season down to only nine episodes, it was action packed! Forget the few negative reviews out there saying that it ignores T3, because that's a good thing. This is supposed to take place after T2, therefore T3 does not exist in this story line. The writing is clever and sticks to the Terminator canon. If you liked T1 and T2 and are willing to accept that this series uses them as its basis and goes in a slightly different direction, you'll love this series. If you're not willing to accept that and enjoy the deeper character development, then don't watch this. In my opinion, as a die hard Terminator fan, this series is an excellent, excellent compliment to the first two movies, and ignores the dreadful T3.

5 Stars!

This series was terrible. This series started off with "some" promise. But then it quickly became "weak story filler" for the first two terminator films. Read more
