Product Description
Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker, Summer Glau
Amazon.co.uk Review
The pressure was really on IThe Sarah Connor Chronicles/I right from the start. The first spin-off from the extraordinary ITerminator/I franchise, it picks up after the events of the second film, and finds Lena Headey in the title role, who--along with her 15-year old son, John--sets about trying to save the world from the impending threat of Skynet. Along the way too, they encounter Summer Glau (whom there?s a strong chance you?ll know from IFirefly/I), who steps into the shoes of Cameron, a bodyguard Terminator who helps fight off the many threats they face. She?s some piece of work. pVery deliberately paced, and intricately woven to make sure it safely fits within the ITerminator/I universe, IThe Sarah Connor Chronicles/I works a great deal better than you?d have any right to expect. Tightly scripted, and with a terrific performance by Headey in the central role, the show packs plenty of action and narrative into the nine episodes of its maiden season, and it certainly whets the appetite for more. pPerhaps the biggest compliment to be paid, though, is that IThe Sarah Connor Chronicles/I is a worthy companion and follow-up to the first two ITerminator/I films, and one that genuinely expands and deepens the franchise. It?ll be fascinating to see where the show goes next. --IJon Foster/I

 Fantastic show. I love it. Summer Glau is great. January 6, 2009
TSCC is pure entertainment. Interesting plot, good efects, good music. It is an intelligent sci-fi show. Summer Glau is great in her portraying of Cameron, terminator reprogrammed by John Connor and send back to protect him in the past. br /br /Buy it without any doubt.
Great Alternative to Terminator 3 December 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This series is set in an alternative timeline to Terminator 3 and begins a couple of years after Terminator 2. If you enjoyed the story behind the Terminator movies and don't just like to sit and watch things being blown up, then this series is great and definitely worth watching. Not to say that it doesn't feature a fair bit of action, the action just isn't its main focus. The show is very much about the characters, if you normally just skip past all the story and look for the fires and the mini-guns, this series may seem dull to you.br /br /This Blu-Ray is definitely worth the extra over the DVD version, not only is the quality much better but the extra content you get with it are worth the money themselves.
 Poorly written drivel that barely manages to stay afloat thanks to the brand name November 8, 2008
1 out of 7 found this review helpful
As much as fans eventually hated it, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines [Blu-ray] [2003] [US Import] is lights years ahead of this tedious show. You might end up wondering how the timeline in this show can exist considering the story of T3, but if you consider that this was Skynet's fourth attempt at killing John Connor AFTER the TX failed then it would create a tangent timeline in which the events of T3 would never happen.br /br /The show doesn't even attempt to explain this to us, however. I hate exposition as much as the next viewer, but TSCC has no sense of time, character or importance of event. Nothing is clearly presented to the audience and it's hard to keep with the barely interesting story. It's bad writing, plain and simple. And the constant in-jokes (a robot called Cameron, a character called William Wisher) are another sign of lazy writing which leads me to believe that the show is written by fanboys instead of qualified writers. Even this I could turn a blind eye to if they stayed true to the original story, but they tamper with too much of James Cameron's history. For example; Kyle Reese says he grew up after the nuclear war in The Terminator [Blu-ray] [1985] [US Import], but here we see him and his previously unmentioned brother playing baseball on Judgment Day (now moved to 2011). And why didn't Skynet send back another T1000 instead of the old T800? It's not model 101 this time since Arnie wouldn't embarrass himself with trash like this, but it would have made sense to send a mimetic poly-alloy instead of the metal endo-skeleton surrounded by living tissue.br /br /However, doing it that way might have ended the show on day one, and the folks at the WB need to s-t-r-e-t-c-h this junk out as far as possible.br /br /Lena Headey is visually similar to Linda Hamilton, but I never liked the direction they took the character in Terminator 2 - Judgment Day [Blu-ray] [1991], where she becomes hardcore warrior (almost a human terminator herself) who narrates every scene with a pointless and pretentious voice-over. There's very little to like about her in this show, mostly because she never displays any kind of affection for anyone around her, even her son.br /br /Summer Glau is the only reason for watching this. Any scene that does not feature her threatens to kill the series dead on the spot. Some of this stuff is really painful, especially the Dr. Silberman plot. Not only is it incredibly disrespectful to what James Cameron had created, but they didn't even get Earl Boen back. Instead they got someone who looks and acts nothing like him. It feels like a totally different person and you can tell that he's only in there to stretch the lumbering story out further. The existence of the Terminators after the destruction of Cyberdyne is still not clearly explained either.br /br /I know a lot of shows struggle during their first season, maybe this is why the network gave TSCC the benefit of the doubt and ordered a full second season. But this nine episode Blu Ray is only worth the money if your a serious fan, and even then you're likely to be disappointed.br /br /The Blu Ray features a 1.78:1 1080p picture that doesn't impress a helluva lot and an adequate sound design with lots of extras I couldn't care less about.
Genuinely surprising and fantastic TV SF October 7, 2008

I've been a fan of Terminator for years, ever since it was first shown ok UK TV in fact, I put up with the T3 travesty and thought no more of it.br /br /This series has taken me by as much surprise as the new Battleststar did however. The acting is brilliant and believable, the special effects are top notch, the camera work is emotive and moody - I can't say enough good things about this show.br /br /There have been some genuinely chilling moments, just as you start to feel that Cameron is taking on human qualities, she walks away from an innocent being murdered, but then we see her trying to Ballet dance and being watched by a hiding human.br /br /I really cannot express what a pleasant thrill it was to sit down and watch something so good.br /br /5/5 - go get it now :)
