I just happened to be watching E while laying in bed and saw a commercial for this atrocity

Executive producers Josh Friedman (“War of the Worlds”), David Nutter (“Supernatural,” “Smallville”) and C2 Pictures (“Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”) bring to television an intense new drama based on the celebrated heroine of the “Terminator” movies: Sarah Connor.

At the end of “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” Sarah vanquished the liquid metal Terminator sent from the future to kill her teenage son, John. Sarah and John now find themselves alone in a very dangerous, complicated world. Fugitives from the law, they are confronted with the reality that still more enemies from the future, and the present, could attack at any moment.

THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES reveals what happens when SARAH (Lena Headey, “The Brothers Grimm,” “300”) stops running and goes on the offensive against an ever-evolving technological enemy bent on destroying her life, and perhaps the world. Her son, 15-year-old JOHN CONNOR (Thomas Dekker, “Heroes”), knows that he may be the future savior of mankind, but is not yet ready to take on the mantle of leadership that he’s told is his destiny. John finds himself inextricably drawn to CAMERON (Summer Glau, “Serenity,” “The Unit”), an enigmatic and otherworldly student at his high school, who soon proves to be much more than his confidante – she assumes the role of Sarah and John’s fearless protector. On their trail are not only threats from the future, but an intelligent and tough FBI agent, JAMES ELLISON (Richard T. Jones, “Judging Amy”), who soon becomes a powerful ally.

Directed by David Nutter and produced by Warner Bros. Television and C-2 Pictures, THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES represents an exciting reinvention of the “Terminator” franchise, in which the strong and intrepid Sarah discovers that protecting her son and stopping the rise of the machines is more difficult than she had ever imagined.

Oh boy a show about being an angst high school student who has to deal with homework, detention, adolesence and robot asassins from the future

Just go to the link above and watch the clip

Apologies in advance if anyone is somehow looking forward to this - I guess some people did like Smallville.....

Yeah I think I'm just gonna ignore the existence of this.

It's like a reskinning of the Smallville/Buffy formula.  Unfortunately, for this sort of technique to be effective, they have to RETIRE the formula for a while before bringing it back.  The Buffy model of programming is now a decade old, in dead horse territory.

I dunno, I watched the pilot several months ago and it was pretty awesome. I'll watch more. It has robots and time-travel in the first episode, plus their whole highschool gets pretty much shot up by a terminator. Lots of explosions too. Didn't seem anything like Buffy or Smallville, it seemed to me like it might be more like Supernatural.

[Eel O'Brian]

the whole terminator time travel theory is such an illogical clusterfuck anyway, so why not

it makes a sort of sense for skynet or whatever to keep throwing robots back through time until they achieve their goals, i guess

[TVC15]

What happens in Terminator 3 that fucks up the timeline so much?

[Eel O'Brian]

I think every one of the movies has a fucked timeline, T3 was no better or no worse in that regard.

I like all the movies, though.

[AdmiralViscen]

What time is this shit heap on? I might watch.

[Joe Molotov]

January 13th, Sunday, 9/8c.

This is how I feel. It's better to not think too deeply about the timeline.

[MrAngryFace]

4chan /tv/ thinks its good, but all the lines they quote sound stupid and im not sure why theyre all excited. They're is apparently something leaked or their just going by previews

[abrader]

MAF - they sent a good reprogrammed terminator back in time designed to look like a female kid that fits in at John O Connors Jr High School so he can be protected in the halls.

Need more be said?

[MrAngryFace]

I dunno, we'll see. I dont have cable so I dont care that much anyway
