By popular demand, Billie’s main site will now be featuring reviews for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. However, since Billie simply cannot take on another show in her review roster, I will be pinch hitting for her. I know it won’t be quite the same as Billie reviewing the show, but I’ll try to do her justice.
Sarah Connor is one of the few shows that I started watching right from its premiere. I was a big fan of the first two Terminator movies, and even though I didn’t see the third movie (bad buzz killed my desire to see it), I was pretty intrigued by the idea of a Terminator TV show. Especially one focusing on Sarah Connor, the soft, doughy waitress who turned into one of the ultimate ass-kicking film heroines. I came to the show with high hopes, and although there were one or two weak episodes, on the whole, Season 1 didn’t let me down.
Reviews for the first five episodes of Season 1 will be posted soon, and I hope to complete reviews for the remaining four episodes before Season 2 premieres on Sept. 8th. These reviews were written as "retro reviews" after I’d already seen the entire season. Like Billie’s retro reviews, these focus on the episode at hand, and are spoiler-free for upcoming episodes.
The Season 2 reviews will be written as the season unfolds, and should be posted within a week of a new episode airing. These reviews will also be posted here on Billie's blog.
The Dark Knight. And I mean really, really dark
I'm going to pay this movie the ultimate compliment. It was so dark, edgy and realistic that I literally forgot I was watching comic book characters. That has never, and I mean never, happened to me before. In fact, it got so intense that at one point, I was flashing on Brian dePalma's Untouchables, which is probably my favorite crime movie. It was that heavy.
Stargate SG-1: Continuum does it good
(This review contains spoilers. Go watch the movie first. Seriously!)Jack: "Get rid of the last bad guy, and then there's cake."
