Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2

[Brown Jenkin]

I appreciate your comments on entertainment topics, so please taking this with all due respect. But if all the movies and television shows you ever saw represented the sea, the ones you seemed to actually like (based on your comments here) would fill a thimble with water.

Thank you for caring somewhat about my opinions, enough at least that you are willing to comment on them even if you disagree with them. I too have found your comments interesting as well look forward to reading them even if I also disagree with them at times. You are right, my standards for movies and TV are high.

I try to watch Genre programming and make more allowances for that just because I want to see more of it. There are good shows out there and that I enjoy watching because I think they are well done. Even without allowances there are several shows out right now that I think are very well done. In the Genre area there is Eureka, Doctor Who, Supernatural, and Pushing daisies. In other areas there is House, Scrubs, Corner Gas, In Plain Sight, Top Chef and The Soup. Not quite stellar but still good there is Atlantis, Reaper, The Middle Man, Law & Order, ER, Two and a Half Men, Project Runway and American Chopper. Then there are some guilty pleasures as well such as Who wants to be a Superhero and the Sci-Fi Saturday Night Movies.

For Movies there are only a very few per year which are really good. This year Iron Man really surprised me and was an excellent movie. In the recent past there was Stardust and Pan's Labyrinth. Overall though, yes there are only a handful of movies a year I think are worth watching.

I have no problems with maintaining my standards and demanding that things are made to those standards. I feel that if people do not demand quality then mediocrity will be considered acceptable. Back on topic, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I gave the show the benefit of the doubt over the first several episodes. I found that the show did improve towards the end of the first season and I thought it was finding its footing and it turned into a show I looked forward to seeing. I was happy that it was renewed and I was excited about the second season. As you saw above I was not happy with what I saw in the second season opener and I laid out my objections. I have no problem turning off a show and stop watching if it goes in a direction I don't like over the course of a season.

So the fact you will go elsewhere to fill this timeslot does not surprise me. What would surprise me is you actually liking what you found elsewhere

Well, as listed above there does tend to be at least one thing a night I end up liking. If there isn't something in that same timeslot I will do what I normally do, check out PBS, Discovery and the History channel to see if there is an interesting special or if not go to Cable News and multi-task on my computer.

I think that the trick to this show is that Skynet and the Resistance are running a cold war. Each side continues to use technology to change the future. This is why things get disjointed. The future continues to change, thus, the only people who matter are the ones in the present.

We do not know the effect that the changes are having to the future. This is why models with different goals continue to come back. I like it.
