    Great show and the definition of ended too soon. The show had a great set of established big and small screen actors and their performances fit the show perfectly. The program did a great job of expanding the movie mythology and in some cases giving a basis for the current mythology. The show did a great job of not doing the monster of the week thing that most shows get stuck in and introduced new terminators in a fluid and well paced way. This new vision of keeping John Connor alive to fight in the future was fun to watch each week and with season 2 bringing in the second movies liquid terminators. The show was on it's way to a great season 3 if it had been allowed to continue. Certainly a show to pick up on dvd it was good every episode.

    After the events of Terminator 2, The Connors find themselves again being stalked by Skynet. They decide to focus on preventing the birth of Skynet. With help of Cameron, a machine; Derek Reese, a soldier from the future whose is linked with the Connors. hide show

    This show was like unbelievebly good. I do not understand why they cancelled it. It was excitting, interesting. This show was so much better than I expected. Everytime whem I watched an episode, I didn't want it to stop.
    The casting of the show was also great, and I loved all the new characters. Brian austin green is hot and the chemestry between the guy who played john and the girl who played cameron was great.
    The reatings weren't that bad, somebody should pick the show up and continue with the story.
    The terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles must be back on tv!!!

    Awesome, I fell in love with it from the 1st episode and got better every week but I was devastated to find out that they're not making anymore as they've left the story wide open and it's better than 90% of the programs out there....Please bring it back! hide show

    Awesome, I loved every episode with each week getting better and better delving deeper into the Terminator story but I can't believe they're going to leave it like they have !!

    Great special effects, better than a lot of films I've watched, along with a great cast that portrayed the story extremely well and blend in with the story line of the blockbuster films damn near perfect as well !!

    I REALLY hope they continue the story as it's left wide open and I'm wanting more, The Terminator is a great franchise and this deserves to be completed, please bring it back !!

    Please bring it Back!! The franchise is up for auction in JANUARY!!! James Cameron are you listening? hide show

    The show was great from the start and never should have been canceled. They left us with Dollhouse Blah! Its just ok not that great. Summer was the purfect person for the role, the whole cast was awesome. I really hope they bring this series back. The story kept me interested and at the edge of my seat. The special effects were top knotch in my book. The finally was so good and left me wanting more. Maybe the cast will be in a Terminator movie. The franchise goes up for auction in JANUARY!!!! I hope James Cameron gets it Back.

    A slow start, but gathers momentum hide show

    Season one consists of a meagre 9 episodes doe to the writers strike. How much the strike contributed to the quality of those first nine episodes (no re-writes?) I guess we will never know. Suffice to say that the first season, while introducing additional characters and laying the foundations of the core story we're all so familiar with, struggled to capture the imagination a little and develop the show's own identity.

    Season Two was another matter altogether. We saw the show develop more threads, twists and sub-plots. It shakes off the legacy of the movie franchise and comes into it's own. Rather than trying to be an action-packed thriller episode-after-episode, it begins to 'brood' and draw you in. The actors and writers begin to bring extra dimensions to each character and the possibilities for future story-lines begin to open up while still keeping you intrigued as to exactly what may lay around the corner. The Season Two finale is a beauty and tantalises your imagination as to where Season 3 will take you. You can almost see Season Four and Five given the myriad of possibilities.

    As I write, this show is temporarily terminated. I have faith, however, that somewhere out there is a canny executive who can see the possibilities and rewards of this show continuing.
