"That's 'Hedley'"

In the wake of the disappointment that was NBC's "Bionic Woman," it's difficult to approach Fox's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" without the flinching reluctance to trust of the recently brokenhearted. At first glance, the shows have so much in common: the weight of previously successful franchises; cool fighter chicks, some robotic, all capable of engaging in car chases, demolition, gun play or hand-to-hand combat; enemies who appear out of nowhere and threaten the world (as opposed to just wanting to knock over a bank); lots of ominous computer screens, not to mention the need of the heroine to protect a family member (Jaime Sommers' sister, Sarah Connor's son).
But there the similarities end, because although "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" has gadgets aplenty, it has what "Bionic Woman" never quite acquired: a brain and a heart.
Picking up where the feature film "Terminator 2" left off, "Sarah Connor" follows the title character's attempt to keep her teenage son, John, alive so he can become the leader of a band of rebels fighting the Skynet robots who, in 2011, declare war on mankind. Robots who keep sending increasingly upgraded terminator models back in time in an attempt to kill their foe before he reaches adulthood. Trying to figure out how all this works, time- and space-continuum-wise, will give you a headache -- why can't someone from the future just come back and explain how exactly John was able to survive? -- so it's best just to accept the whole conceit on its own terms.

I dunno....I kinda like it when chicks blow things up, as long as they’re on our side and they’re cute.
Personally, I get tired of Hollywood pushing the “Dur, science and technology are evil” message.
How about “Terminator IV” where Arnold destroys California?
I guess that Hillary Clinton is out then.
On both counts!
I heard her plan for the next debate is to turn into a robot and eat Obama.
Obviously, everything on every show on television also depends upon how much longer the present writers strike goes on.
The writers for Bionic Woman are Hillary supporters.
there was an artcile made on one episode where BW says :”Id like to be like Hillary” (something like that) and they were exposed by a blogger as Hillary supporters.
Either way, the ratings speak for itself. It had the biggest drop for any new Tv show this season.
lena Headey is hotter.
"That's 'Hedley'"
Couldn't agree more. She was hot gutting the treasonous senator.
I would definitely watch that Democratic debate!
LOL
The British do Sci-Fi on TV better. It’s all about Doctor Who.
She is one of the most beautiful women in showbiz.
Yeah, but will she cry while she’s doing it?
:-)
99.9% of TV is garbage. That said, the one reason I had to tune in to one of the majors went out the window when they cancelled Journeyman. Fascinating premise, intelligent and well-written, intriguing story line and engaging characters. So natuarally, it had to go. NBC’s coke-snorting corner office ‘tards can go pork themselves.
Oh wait. They already do. Nevermind.
Definitely. I hated that POS. There’s nothing hotter than a hot chick who does things in a civilized’ manner: killing terminators, shanking a traitorous senator etc.
LMAO
