The Sarah Connor Chronicles basicly start of where Terminator 2: Judgement Day ends. In an alternate timeline from Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Sarah and her son John Connor who managed to postpone Judgement Day from 1997 to 2011, continue their quest to stop Skynet from being created. The Sarah Connor Chonicles begins in the year of 1999 where as always they are on the run hiding from the government who consider them as armed and dangerous fugitives. However recent events after again being discovered and found by Terminators from the future force them, after hooking up with a friendly Terminator sendt by the future John Connor to protect them, to make a temporal timeleap to year 2007 for reasons I can’t reveal here.
What I can reveal is that you’re in for an exiting ride filled with lots of action, drama, appearances of new as well as known characters. You don’t need to know the background story from the other movies since this story takes place in a alternate timeline of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, but it helps a lot and makes it a whole lot more interesting so I would recommend it. Especially when it comes to the new characters and their appearances. Something that made me enjoy this show a lot.
As oposite to the Terminator movies where the focus was on the Terminator, The Sarah Connor Chronicles focus more on Sarah’s story. I could reveal more about this TV series, however I feel that I shouldn’t. Instead I’m going to say this: I think this show will appeal to both Terminator fans as well as to those who has never seen, or maybe even disliked the Terminator movies. I was partly affraid that the brand new cast would make everything awkward for those who have seen Terminator before, however I’m pleased to announce that they did a great job. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has quickly became one of my favourite TV shows and I’m looking forward to season 2.
