    To be honest I absolutely hated it. I mean she blew off a terminators head with a shotgun come on and the love story just seemed very lame in my opinion. I'm actually glad they ended the show. I'm sorry I have to be one of the few negative reviews on this page but the show was just bad. I mean I liked all the movies better than this show. I mean they use the time Machine wayyy too much andTo be honest I absolutely hated it.

    As interesting as this show was last year, that is how ridiculous it is this year. It has become the "Charlie's Angels" of sci-fi, with plenty of "Oh, give me a break" moments (the limping terminator who can't seem to be outrun, even in a speeding vehicle. Please!). When they had the Conner crew move into a big, middle class home when none of them have any discernible income, As interesting as this show was last year, that is how ridiculous it is this year.

    Well, we do have a protagonist, who is getting increasingly unlikeable, a mother who is close to being clueless and a Terminatrix with amnesia. Then there is a cop who is linking the Terminator story to Christianity. This show does not live up to its promises and it is doubtful that it will go beyond Season 2.

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles returns with a solidly enjoyable action-oriented outing.

    My interest ebbs and flows depending not on the plot but on which character is in the action.

    The transformations aren't complete by episode's end--though at least Dekker chops off his floppy Emo bangs--but it's a step in the right direction for a series that struggled to live up to its potential and pedigree last spring.
