T.V Shows Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Extreme Critic

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Self Made Man

December 2nd 2008 19:59


Well, this episode had an interesting factor going for it, but that's about it. We are finally shown what Cameron does at night and it leads to a pretty cool, but mostly slow plot. The episode was all about what happened when a T-888 is sent to the wrong time. I like how he still figured out how to accomplish his mission, which was to assassinate the Governor of California. I wonder if that is going to factor into future plots of the show, like if they will try to figure out why the Gov. was important enough to be eliminated.


I guess some other important stuff happened. Riley succeeds in getting closer to John, making me wonder what her real objective is now. This show sure does prolong some of it's story lines. It took like 8 episodes to finally reveal that Riley is not who she says she is. Whether or not that is a smart move is yet to be seen.

For the most part this episode was slightly boring, but it built to a cool climax once Cameron figured everything out. I guess episodes like this must exist so it can set the stage for much bigger episodes.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Strange Things Happen at the One Two Point

November 26th 2008 00:34


Once again the show not only entertains but explores human nature. This episode is all about what happens when we get obsessed with something. We start seeing what we are obsessed with everywhere. Derek said it best... "First it's the dots, then the A.I. Now it's the chip. Whatever you've needed it to be, that's what it is."


And I guess I should stick to my guns when I make my predictions about characters. First I said Riley would play a more significant role down the road, then down the road came and she was still just a pseudo love interest for John, so I said I was wrong. Well, I guess I'm wrong about being wrong. I loved the reveal when we see Jesse approach Riley at the clothing store and then their conversation later. I'm guessing Riley came from the future with Jesse and they are trying to "save" John, but in different ways.

That brings me to another point. the plot progression on this show is timed so well. Most shows give you big reveals and twists in spurts, but I like it when a show always keeps you guessing and the big twists and reveal are not contrived for the sake of drama.

I look forward to this show more and more with each episode. The plot is always kept fresh.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Complications

November 19th 2008 00:05


Something that I love about it this show is its capacity to make you think. Human nature, psychology, or life in general. This was one of those episodes. Its main objective was to be thought provoking.

I loved how they touched on what they may have changed in the future. Even if we were able to see into the future it would be a constantly changing thing, because nothing is set. The whole Fischer sub plot was very cool, I thought. How they found the future Charles Fischer and brought him face to face with the present Charles Fischer.

I loved the reference to the first Terminator movie when John finds the Polaroid picture of his mom. And did any one catch the reference to Blade Runner with the turning over a tortoise on its back thing? Being a fan of the movie, I loved that.

One other thing that i like about this show in general is that, so far it seems, they do not waste a single episode. Every episode is put to good use. Some shows will have what is known as "filler" episodes, where nothing really happens. But from what I've seen this show has yet to do that.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Brothers of Nablus

November 5th 2008 00:38


Well this was the first episode of the season that has been a little disappointing for me. It was a pretty poor script, in my opinion. The dialogue was still up to par, but it was a poorly crafted script

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Goodbye To All That

October 8th 2008 05:32


I've been hearing a lot of reports that this show is dangerously close to being canceled. I really hope this isn't true because this show has so much potential. But that hasn't stopped FOX in the past. Does anyone remember Firefly and the severely under appreciated Point Pleasant. At least they've had the good sense of extending their order from 13 episodes to 22 episodes for Fringe However, hearing talk of cancellation gets me thinking about the show's end game. How DOES Josh Friedman see the show ending. I mean, I honestly can only see the show ending the same way as Terminator 3 did or something similar to that. To end it in a completely different way would be nonsense

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Allison From Palmdale

September 30th 2008 19:28


Summer Glau really stood out this week in her performance. She basically had to play three different people. The terminator, before she was reprogrammed, Alison from Palmdale, and a memory lost Cameron. It was a very impressive performance. It reminded me of that episode of Angel where Amy Acker had to play both Fred and Illyria. However I am kinda unclear on what happened with the memory loss thing. Did she just suddenly get it back at the end of the episode

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Mousetrap

September 23rd 2008 04:27


This was an okay episode, in my opinion. We get a lot of cool things that happen, but it seemed to lack the intensity of the last few episodes. We get to see more of Riley and I am getting very interested in her character, she is not just some girl John met at school

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Automatic for the People

September 16th 2008 03:46
John makes a new friend. Is Cameron jealous?


This show is really shaping up to be something great. It has really stepped it up and it continues to do so every episode. We get several great glimpses into the future and some more great action
