 A Series that Deserves the 1080p Blu Ray Treatment May 27, 2008
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
Terminator: The Sara Connor Chronicles Season One has not been released yet on Blu Ray, but I have pre-ordered and anxiously await for its arrival. However, I have downloaded the entire season from Unbox and the quality isn't bad at all, but rather good in fact, but not quite as good as the 720p hd version broadcast on Fox. I can't wait for the 1080p version on Blu Ray. I have already written one review about this series
for the Unbox download and mentioned then that I think the producers have done rather well considering that they did not have the budget to work with their big brothers' of the big screen had. I am one of those few,I suppose that didn't particularly care for T3. There was nothing technically wrong with it, but I didn't like the ending at all. The T3 ending sort of messed things up as far as the timeline coda was concerned which took the saga into a different direction than the television series. I think the producers were wanting to get another crack at Arnold before he ran for Governor of California, and they simply wanted to just get another script out there. That's okay though, because if you look at Superman, it has several different spin offs as well as the original theme; ie "Smallville" and "Lois and Clark." In T3, Sarah Connor alledgedly died from cancer. The writers of the tv series explained that away as mentioning that when Sarah, John, and Cameron time travelled eight years into the future, they by-passed Sarah's death. Okay, that makes sense to me, I guess. In doing stories about time travel, you have the flexibility to explore different timelines and this technique will probably be used here; an indication of that has already been shown introducing Derrick Reese, Kyle Reese's brother. The bottom line is, I don't think the real Terminator fans are going to care that much, because it's all just pure fantasy anyway and great entertainment fare.

So what went down with the characters in the Terminator movies between T2 and T3??? Well, to find out you can pick up Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles on DVD if you didn't catch the 9-episode premier season on FOX.
Fresh from the first season of the hit series Heroes, Thomas Dekker takes his turn in the role of John Connor, the future's lead guy in taking the Earth away from SkyNet and the machines. Summer Wow...er...um...I mean *Glau* is The Terminator; like Arnold in T2 she's sent to protect Connor. And like Kristanna Loken in T3, she's mega-hot! And as Sarah Connor you have Lena Headey who I had never even heard of until her recent role in 300.
Importantly, the entire cast of The Sarah Connor Chronicles take their roles seriously, and they preserve the integrity and the awesomeness of the movies that spawned the TV series. Sure, the producers of the TV show needed to take some liberties with the T 1 - 3 storyline that fans of the movies are so familiar with, but they keep a good story flow rolling that makes you anxious for the next episode. Just try not to think about why there's never any reference to all this TV show stuff in T3.
And they'll be bock! (I know, bad Arnold accent.) Everyone's signed on to bring season 2 to viewers...this time hopefully with more than just 9 episodes! Pick season 1 up and check it out before season 2 starts.
