Frack. It's all I can say for now.
I was able to see the first 5 minutes of the brand new FOX action-suspense/sci-fi series, "The Sarah Connor Chronicles". And it was completely, totally awesome.
For those of you who have been living under a rock these past few months, "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" is the highly-anticipated TV tie-in of the "Terminator" series of motion pictures (yes, the one with Arnold Schwarzenneger in them).
How's that for a mean-looking cast, huh? We get this blurb from one of my favorite TV websites, www.TV.com:
The Terminator franchise arrives on TV with this serial drama. The series picks up a year after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day with John and Sarah Connor (Thomas Dekker and Lena Headey) hiding from the government. After two years in one place Sarah decides they need a change of scenery and in doing so they expose themselves to FBI Agent James Ellison (Richard T. Jones) and Skynet's army of Terminators including Cameron Phillips (Summer Glau) a reprogrammed Terminator sent to protect John. She informs them that Judgment Day was not stopped and will take place in 2011. John convinces Sarah to stop hiding and fight so Cameron takes them to a time machine the resistance has set up to take them to the year Skynet was created 2007.
How's that for awesome, huh? We have
Lena Headey (Queen Gorgo from
"300") playing the lead role of Sarah Connor,
Thomas Dekker (Claire-Bear's best friend Zach on
"Heroes") playing the role of adolescent John Connor, and
Summer Glau (of
"Firefly"/"Serenity" fame) playing a hot, re-programmed Terminatrix.
I'm happy I have the chance to check out two episodes right now. More about it later on.
Catch "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" on FOX, Monday nights at 9pm.
