The Sarah Connor Chronicles, S02E01
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles ended the first series on a cliffhanger. Well, kind, of. Is it much of a cliffhanger when a Terminator is inside a car that explodes? Considering they're indestructible? Not really.
The opening scene could have been brilliant were it not for the slow motion. I loved the wordless action, and the cinematic build up, but the slow-mo looked cheap.
The main problem I had with the first series is that it felt a bit slow, I liked the characters but everything seemed a bit ponderous. They've obviously tried to crank things up a bit for this series, with the introduction of the singer from Garbage as a big villain, but generally the episode felt like an exercise in getting back to the end of series one. The big surprise twist being more of a 'that can't work moment' where the number of reasons flew into my head and spoilt the story.
I'll keep watching, but I'm now less hopeful that the programme will begin to show some class.
