Just watched the pilot episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
I wasn't going to bother with this series, pegging it as a lame attempt to squeeze some extra cash out of the Terminator franchise. However, some positive reviews persuaded me to give it a go.
Overall, it was fine. But I couldn't help feeling that we'd seen it all before. The "come with me if you want to live line" made me laugh, but it felt like the show was trying a little too hard to be self-referential.
I'll give the series a bit longer, but I really hope that the writers take it in some fresh directions. The Terminator movies were enjoyable (I even enjoyed T3), but that doesn't mean turning them into a TV series is a good idea. George Lucas, are you listening?
