Terminator: Love Machine 2008



Terminator is back to make more money. At least that's what it sounds like. Disguised as a new TV show called Sarah Connor Chronicles, it traces the life of the aforementioned Sarah Connor and her teenage son post-blowing up T-1000 and smelting Arnold in a pot of gold, sorry was that molten lava? The idea has some merits, if done well and with enough creative input. I'm still going to watch it so call me a wary fence-sitter. What got me worried was the possible teen school angle - Cameron Phillips was your average girl next door in John Connor's school. Boom, out comes a futuristic robot to vamoosh the Connors and suddenly we find Cameron's all bionic and metal on the inside, as opposed to the goey goodness typically found inside humans. So, she's a robot from the future intent on protecting John. I fear the love angles on this one. As for characters, remember Zach? Clarie's social reject friend from first season of Heroes? Guess who John Connors is? Lena Headey is the gun-toting mommy who was also Queen Gorgo in 300. The bodyguard / BFF in leisure time is Summer Glau; you've seen her as River in Firefly.
