CC2K has the entire Pilot episode of Fox’s new Terminator series, which is scheduled to begin airing in January. Take a look, if you’re interested.
When I first heard about this show, I wasn’t entirely eager about it. I mean, taking The Terminator, one of my favorite sci-fi film series, and turning it into a Heroes-like show. The Terminator is amazing, and so is Heroes, but to combine those two? I honestly didn’t think it could work, and after watching this pilot, I must say, I’m still not at all certain about it.
My biggest problem is with the characters. I’m so used to Linda Hamilton as Sarah Conner, and I think she filled that character’s shoes so perfect that this Sarah Conner doesn’t feel like the same character. But maybe I’m just being picky. I mean, it seems like it could grow into a really cool show. It’s certainly got the action and potential, and Summer Glau from the Firefly/Serentiy fame, I’m totally into her playing a Terminator!

I agree completely about the Sarah Connor character. I tried to watch with an open mind, but Linda Hamilton owns that role. As for the new terminators, I can buy them because one could easily argue they are just different models. Overall, I thought the ep was OK. Willing to give it a few episodes, if only for more Summer
