Killer cyborgs everywhere


terminator.jpgOn Fox, that is. Sunday, the network premieres “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” and then the second episode runs the following night.

I’ve seen the first episode and it felt like deja vu, really aping the formula of the “T2.” There’s a couple of cyborgs on the loose, and John Connor is in danger. Sarah wants to protect them, while they try to stop Skynet from developing the evil machines. Lena Headey (of “300″) does a fine job as Sarah, and Summer Glau from “Firefly” appears. But I was pretty bored.

 But the second episode, which I have not seen, is supposed to move the story forward and employ some actual characterization. So I’ll be back in front of my TV on Monday night to check it out.

    The first episode was a little slow. Most pilot episodes are. It did pick up a bit in the last act with the bank scene and travel to 2007. I’m looking forward to part 2 tonight. One thing I’m curious about is whether or not John and Sarah Connor run into themselves in the future…

    Any word on the ratings for the premiere yet?
