I Married A Terminator!

Terminator's rules for keeping the romance in your marriage: Always think about the other women you've strangled during a tender moment, so she'll see the fire in your eyes. Keep her wine-glass full at all times. Do the finger-lip thing, women love that. The best part about the "I Married A Terminator" scenes from last night's Sarah Connor Chronicles is that Summer Glau's Terminator is taking seduction notes. Which is the main reason the show needs a second season — to see Summer put those lessons into action. At the prom. More »

Sarah Connor Chronicles Wants To Be Battlestar Galactica

Sarah Connor's uppercut to her ex-shrink's jaw was one of the most satisfying moments in last night's episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. That annoying psychiatrist who kept Sarah drugged and locked up in Terminator 2 finally apologizes to her for being such a jack-ass (after he's just torched an FBI agent) and she decks him. Awesome. The rest of the episode was scattershot, but actually pretty great. Click through for a recap, with spoilers. More »

Latest by guibom: Again, I really liked this episode. It finally ask some important questions, like what separates us from the machines. If it's just a soul, how hard it's to get it? Can we learn it? Cameron seems to think so. I more »

Too Many Skeevy Uncles And Stepdads On Sarah Connor

Did you have a skeevy uncle when you were a kid? One who hung around the house way too much, drank all your parents' beer and shouted random obscenities at your boyfriends or girlfriends? Did you ever wish you could watch a whole TV show about that uncle, plus maybe a skanky stepdad for good measure? Well, then Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Brian Austin Green are in your corner! Here's Unka Brian, freaking out on John Connor's kitchen table and having acid flashbacks to the time he got naked with a bunch of his buddies. More »

Latest by OdysseusPrime: "Terminator" was an ass kicker of a sci-fi film that seemingly came out of nowhere and hit you in the back of the head with a 2x4. The film made an impression on all, especially for those who saw it more »

Summer Glau Unscrews Your Head On "Sarah Connor"

They don't make Terminators as tough as they used to, judging from how easily Summer Glau incapacitates one in this scene from last night's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. But on the upside, she's a lot better at simulating human emotions than Arnie ever was. Or is it really all just a simulation? Look at the weird look she gets when she's staring at the electronic "soul" of the Terminator she's just deactivated. Or her weird interactions with the proto-robots elsewhere in the episode. And click through for a clip of Summer's Terminator in grief counseling. More »

Smother Mothers Are Scarier Than Evil Cyborgs

Sarah Connor needs to stop strangling John with her apron strings, according to last night's Sarah Connor Chronicles. After all, the world ends in just four years, and weedy Thomas Dekker has to morph into Christian Bale by then. Never mind that Sarah's still the show's real bad-ass, as seen in this clip. Don't call her "Lady!" Anyway, the show's missing the point: FutureJohn isn't supposed to be an action hero, he's supposed to be a leader. And leaders make smart decisions. More »

It's Mean Girls With Killer Robots!

Robo-teen Summer Glau tries to bond with some real girls and comfort a hazing victim, only to get called "bitch-whore," in a scene from last night's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. (She decides "bitch-whore" is her new nickname, which should totally be a running subplot.) Someone's harassing the girls of Terminator High with giant stencils and bras, and Summer is out of her depth. We also had a lot of way-subtle girl-grooming=violence moments, a Kill Bill-Robert Oppenheimer mash-up, and the world's craziest explanation of the Singularity. Click through for spoilers. More »

Latest by aerrin99: Huh - I actually thought Summer was fairly noticeably awkward and 'a freak' in her attempts to be a teenage girl. Not to the extent that anyone is commenting on it yet, but definitely to the extent that if she more »

Sarah Connor Is Bionic Woman's Meaner Big Sister

Sarah Connor uses a motorcycle as a projectile weapon in this great set piece from last night's Sarah Connor Chronicles. Compare that with this lame motorcycle-fu clip from the last Bionic Woman, where the whole sequence is just a set-up for a dumb PMS joke. It's a good reminder that even though Sarah Connor once again sobs about her impending nervous breakdown, Connor is still a million times better than the alternative. More reasons why after the jump.

Latest by kronik: @misplacedwords: Agreed, but, as stated earlier, the kid is still just a boy. Sneeking off to the mall and stuff like that, calling his mum cause he can't find the turkey? Also, Headey's ex-boyfriend seems a bad choice of actor more »

Why Did They Wimpify Sarah Connor?

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has all the ingredients for an awesome ride: Lena Headey's angry commando mom, widescreen action sequences — and naked Summer Glau kicking ass, in this clip. We won't know for a while if the show can sustain this level of excitement every week. For now, though, we're psyched — and we've done a comparison for you between the unaired pilot and the one that did air. You'll discover that Sarah Connor's character was seriously wimpified. More »

Latest by sneggleblech: I did see T3, and I enjoyed watching it, but I agree that it was not as good as the other two. Well, the second one anyway. I haven't seen the first one all the way through. more »
