When I first learned that this week would mark the season finale of Terminator: The Sarah Chronicles, I was surprised. And actually a little sad, which means that I must, you know, actually like this show. And not just because it’s not The Moment of Truth or some God-awful reality show of that ilk: it’s […]

After the special-effect laden episode last week, the producers of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles must have looked at their budget sheets and thought, “Yea, so, let’s scale it back a bit lest our season finale look like the Be Kind, Rewind version of Terminator.” How else to explain the small (although far from uninteresting) […]

Tonight!
A super-sized podcast for Lost. Topics include time travel, canon/non-canon material, the status of the Oceanic 6, and we place odds on the man in the coffin. All this, plus the first ever LL Cool J/Jeremy Bentham mash-up! Heady stuff, yo.
Tomorrow!
A super-sized Wee-View for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I would have Wee-Viewed it last […]

I think it’s high time we eliminate the game of chess as a metaphor within popular drama. I mean, enough is enough, right? We get it. Tonight’s episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles used every phrase possible to relate chess to the coming apocalypse, and I’m all chessed out, people. I propose that any […]

The Boob Tube Babe and I took turns shouting “Wallace!” while watching this week’s episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Probably not the reaction the show was looking for, but when you see a suddenly Afro-less, svelte-looking version of Veronica Mars‘ best friend, you rejoice. Well, you do if you miss Veronica as much […]

..but don’t worry, not in a scary Jacob sorta way.
To say I’ve been mentally overwhelmed by the premiere of Lost is an understatement. I’ve not been a loss for words; in fact, I have so many that starting to write them down proved a challenge. Throw in the Super Bowl and the Beanpot tournament here […]

I’m telling you, if you’re on the fence about Chronicles, hop off. Just make sure you don’t catch your jeans on the way down, as its very likely you’ll run into a Terminator going through his own Extreme Makeover: SkyNet Edition.
I will readily admit that I grinned my face off when I saw that slug […]

Well, T:TSCC is 2-2 in terms of holding my attention for 40 minutes. (Commercials? Please. The Dude does not watch commercials. Unless they involve kittens.) Far from perfect, as with the pilot episode, but certainly more good than bad.
The Good
Every time River-Nator surprises Sarah with how much John loves her (as told through glimpses of […]

I have to say, I’m not sure if it’s the layoff affecting my critical judgments, but I can think of plenty worse ways to spend an hour than with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I’m hesitant to call it actually “good,” but as a pilot, it could have been a lot worse.
The show works best […]
