'Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles - Season 2'
(Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker, Summer Glau, Brian Austin Green, et al / 6-Disc DVD / NR / 2009 / Warner Bros.)

Overview: The time: today. The stakes: all our tomorrows. A nascent AI, assisted by droids, continues to edge toward world domination and the ruin of humankind. It accepts no limits. It fears no one. Except John Connor. The machines know John, now 16, is the future head of the resistance. They know he is growing in abilities. They must find and terminate him. But Sarah Connor is there, protecting and instructing her son as he becomes the man he’s destined to be.

DVD Verdict: Like Fox has done show after show they've created another brilliant TV show only to end it right when the going gets good. Fox is truly a network that cares nothing about the quality of the show or the viewer enjoyment but only about the ratings, which is why with the end of TSCC I am refusing to watching anything on Fox anymore.

Speaking as someone who didn't enjoy the Terminator films, I watched the show only on a whim since everyone who I knew who had watched it loved it to pieces, I soon found myself joining that group shortly after the first episode. TSCC may be the only show that had a Cyborg/robot portrayed so realistic that your baffled when you see the person who plays the Cyborg outside of their role because they have emotions. Summer Glau who plays Cameron on TSCC really stole the show and just had me and a lot of other fans with her abilities.

She lacks almost all emotions but at the same time you can tell she has something more then most of the other Cyborg/Robots shown in the show, most likely because of her interaction with humans and John trying so hard to break down everything so she can understand how a human works. TSCC became an instant favorite of mine and whenever you can bet whenever I meet anyone looking for a good show I tell them to watch it.

Season 2 was an amazing season and I really enjoyed how they developed the plot in many different ways. A lot of time when I would watch and episode I had no idea what was happening until the very end which was fun and challenging and had me trying to figure out what was going on before the end. I will admit the thing I like most about the show is watching John and Cameron interact and her becoming more human and trying to understand our ways, it really makes you think about what makes you, you.

Currently, the show hangs in the balance and though we all want a season 3 I hope that they do anything to a movie like they did for Firefly or a book series like they did for Dark Angel, anything to make the series live on. The fan-base for TSCC for amazing and with their efforts I have hope that the series will live on.

The moment TSCC comes out on DVD (as I have an advance copy, of course!) I advise all fans of the shows to buy it, it's something any Sci-Fi fan will miss having in their collection. [KAT] This is a Widescreen presentation (1.78:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Special Features of:
