I hadn’t seen a long preview of The Sarah Connor Chronicles so far, but went searching today and found this little nugget floating out there on YouTube.
The previews look pretty good and I don’t get the feeling of “cheesiness” like I did from Bionic Woman. Hopefully they have some good stuff in store for a series long plot because I really enjoy the “mythology” type arches like Lost, Journeyman, Life, etc.
If you don’t know must about this show, check out the posters for it that I wrote about a month ago, plus the premise of the show staring Summer Glau as the good Terminator sent to protect Sarah and John Connor.
It premieres on January 18th in a two-night event.
I wonder how much they’re going to ‘recont’ the story to get it to fit the series.

It’s looking good. Like seeing Summer Glau in it. From this preview I didn’t like the Sarah Connor actress, didn’t look as if she has that manic/menacing/driven look that the original (can’t remember her name!) had. I guess we’ll (UK) see it in 2009

@ Frank – What do you mean exactly? Re-do the Terminator mythology?
@ Colin – I agree about Summer of course, she’s going to make a good Terminator, but I’ll wait and see how the actress does with Sarah Connor. She looks better than the one they picked for Bionic Woman. The original was Linda Hamilton and she was great
Right, changing the continuity of the movie series to fit the TV series. For example, according to the 2nd movie John Conner wasn’t aware that terminators existed until Arnie showed up and saved him from the liquid metal terminator. Of course, we’re dealing with time travel here so anything is fair game it seems.

I can see how it would fit after Terminator 2 easily, unless the show starts off with him not knowing about them…but Terminator 3…I don’t remember much about it, but the plot says John is 20 years old, so this TV series must take place between 2 and 3.
Did T3 ever say what happened to his mom? I wonder if they plan to someday have her death take place on the show.
The first 2 hour pilot episode was leaked on the web about 8 months ago. I am not going to spoil anything for you, but I will say it was pretty awesome. =)

In T3 they said that she died of cancer at some point between the two movies. If you recall, there was a weapons stash in her crypt, not her body, so her death could have been a ruse to throw off SkyNet.

@ LaHay – awesome, I heard someone else say the same thing…but I’m going to wait until I see it live
@ Frank – okay, interesting. We’ll see what happens with it…either way, I don’t know if they need to change a lot for it to work. Just depends on how John’s plot is layed out. Does he know or not?
Looks great so far. I agree with Mike that I hope they have good writing to really lay out the storyline. Summer Glau looks good as the terminator, I almost see a little sexual tension between her and John, anyone else? Maybe it’s just me.
-Colin, do you have a link to the pilot? I’d watch it now given the opportunity.

@Scott: NO, all I know is what I found here. Mike’s the blogmaster, maybe he has

Crap, went to all the trouble to install their media player only to find out the file has been removed. I’m guessing they may have gotten into a bit of hot water. Oh well, guess I’ll have to wait a few more weeks like everyone else.
