Just Whatever

There is a television series in the works that could be fantastic or a huge failure. The Sarah Connor Chronicles is based on Sarah and John Connor from the Terminator series.

Wait, didn’t Sarah Connor die? Well, yes she did. But this series will be set in between Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. So at some point in the series Sarah Connor will have to die of cancer.

Sarah Connor is being played by Lena Headey, the hottie queen from 300 and the tracker in The Brothers Grimm.

So here’s the low down on The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

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.
