second verse, same as the first--whee!

[seperis]

The Sarah Connor Chronicles - the glee continues to be epic.

That is all.



John is from 1999; I got my first computer 1998 if I remember correctly. I am now trying to remember the capabilities of Darcy and the changes that he'll have seen. Google I started using regularly in 1999-2000; it had a six week update window in March 2000 when I was tracking the XMMFF archive showing up. I was using IE whatever version.

...huh.

Cameron--remains awesome. I did like the codicil she had on following orders; not this John Connor, not yet, which makes me wonder what the programmed flip point is. Smart of him, too; fifteen year olds probably shouldn't have absolute command over extremely hot woman-shaped terminators.

Sarah Connor--still awesome. Not quite at Linda Hamilton's utterly kick-ass, why-the-hell-should-I-take-names place, but who does not love a woman with a gun?

Happy. Very, very happy. I like how they're setting this up, and letting them noticeably adapt to the new time. And I love that they've switched timelines again for all intents and purposes; the new timeline has a Sarah Connor who is still alive. Good thing. I keep thinking I need to watch all three movies (avoided the third) and track down each known change to see the shifts.

ETA: Hands up--who suspects Cameron isn't a Terminator model at all, but a John-model? Place your bets now.

I thought the show was a terrible idea when the announcement was made months ago, but I just caught up with the eps and I am so, so pleased. I couldn't figure out what Summer Glau's role was going to be in this, and I was steeling myself for some cringing girlfriend-person, but no--Rivernator. Awesome.

More, now, please.

Oooh, that's an interesting thought! That Cameron might be a John-model. Hmmmm.

I'm all for continuing to avoid the 3rd movie, though the evil Terminator in that movie was female (which kinda makes some symmetry for the tv series rescuer Terminator to be female). I'm still disappointed, though, that the third movie didn't include John meeting a crusty old human soldier played by Arnold S who was the model for the original Terminator, which was my own personal possible T3 storyline ... what I can remember of it.

The tv series John doesn't quite measure up to the T2 John, who was my big inappropriate crush for that entire decade. But he's growing on me. And I'm starting to warm to this Sarah, who isn't anywhere near as crazy as T2's Sarah.

Cameron is love. She's fabulous - and the more I see her, the less she reminds me of River. Way to go, Summer!

I just caught up on both episodes and I am all \o/ \o/ \o/ right now!

I've somehow managed to go through life without watching the Terminator movies, so at the beginning it was all sort of new and baffling but after tonight's episode I'm in complete *flail* mode. Summer Glau as Cameron kicking ass all over the place is pretty much my new definition of awesome.

[amalthia]

this really is everything I was hoping the Bionic Woman would be but it wasn't. :) I so far like the casting choices, the acting, story, and well I'm entertained. :)

I'd seen the pilot but that's it. Now I have to wait for a download. *glares at torrents* But it's good, right? I have high hopes for this show.

Summer. <3<3

I love the show so far. I'm still waiting on the torrent for ep 2 at the moment. But the OMG KICK ASS with GUNS is soooo good. It's just wins it all. Sarah was probably my favorite character in T2 and this lady doesn't quite get the full 'you're all so fucking DEAD!' batshit crazy nothing to lose bit that made Linda Hamilton so so cool when i was 13..She's still got that same level of fire and steel.

That and my chemistry alarms are going off. I find it funny that the strongest piece of it was between Cameron and Sarah. I'm all for the usual m/m slash...but this is the first time femmeslash walked into my head. *laughs*

All in all? Looking forward to more--lots more.

[ratcreature]

Yes! So much squee!

Also, you're right that there is a certain plausibility to Cameron not being a Terminator, I mean, the ones send by the computers all seem to go as adult male models, which probably makes sense for easiest to impersonate authority figures like cops and such, not as young women.

I now have the first episode! \o/ Am so looking forward to this *g* Oooh, I may need an icon.

I am so happy with this show. Even my parents, who are notoriously awful when it comes to the more explode-y types of scifi (what, it's a word!) were talking about how amazing it is and how fantastic the actress who plays Cameron is.

I just told them they have to watch firefly already.

But yay! New show that doesn't suck!!

I've thought that since the Pilot. Might even be specifically designed on a real person future!John knows and loves. Girlfriend (though maybe young for future!John), or daughter?

Working theory in progress. ;)

[trobadora]

I saw the pilot a while back, and I can't wait for the new ep.

[zoniduck.livejournal.com]

I just watched part 2 of the pilot, and my squee continues unabated! I really need to rent the movies and watch them again. It's been ages.

Also? Since there doesn't appear to be a nexus for the fandom yet, I figured you probably hadn't seen that hackthis posted fic, so I thought I'd link you.
