Movie Reviews of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete Second Season
Movie Review: Never stop telling the saga
Summary: 5 Stars
The task was difficult, herculean in fact. How can we fill the empty spaces of the trilogy, particularly the "training" years of John when he shifts and hesitates between being a libidinous teenager and assuming the war leader he is supposed to become, between a girl friend that has a mission that seems to be shady and a fake sister Cameron who is a cyborg more than anything else with a mission that even her might not know. The task is all the more difficult for the director, and the authors, because that two year series is supposed to reopen the closed trilogy and instead of hypothetically making John survive in the Presidential nuclear suite somewhere in Nevada bringing him to the future where he is going to take the head of the resistance. But that is not simple. Many adventures are thus invented with cyborgs that are looking for John in order to destroy him in his teenager's underwear and some others who have been brought down in a way or another, all of them obscure, in order to provide John with the proper means of transportation from 2008-9 to 2027. That is perfectly well done and John finds himself at the unripe age of eighteen in the middle of the final fight to the death between a handful of survivors and a mechanical world that has already tried to destroy humanity. I must admit the final tableau is a family reunion with John's own father, you remember that soldier that came down from the future to impregnate Sarah Connor with John, and that father's brother, John's uncle Derek who just died in our time, and John's cyborg he left behind all destroyed and her chip missing. We are ready for the last final descent onto the Rome of the machines. Hannibal has just arrived and the battle can start. It sounds like a clich?, and it is, and that's why it works. Now this long chase, hunt, escape, trek of this second season is a little bit blurry here and there and some characters that appear in one episode and disappear in the next are not very clear in their use and finality, except to entertain us. And entertain us they do with action, explosions, special effects, emotions and even a lot of suffering, even if only one lesson can float on top of this big saga: never trust officials because they are nothing but vampire who live on our blood and marrow, never trust FBI or ex-FBI agents because they are always big liars in order to capture and keep their power, never believe the scientific brains of this world because they always lie to protect and satisfy their greed. One exception maybe is a catholic priest but he is Mexican, so he is different. He even knows how to pray. And praying is essential when the birds of prey are after you. And this series is worth a fortune by the length of these films: nine hundred and thirty five minutes, fifteen hours thirty five minutes. Quite an achievement to watch it in one go, if you can do that. Enjoy the trip, the trek, the dive in the recollections of the future some future survivors have of a future they haven't seen yet.

Summary of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete Second Season
The time: today. The stakes: all our tomorrows. A nascent AI, assisted by droids, continues to edge toward world domination and the ruin of humankind. It accepts no limits. It fears no one. Except John Connor. The machines know John, now 16, is the future head of the resistance. They know he is growing in abilities. They must find and terminate him. But Sarah Connor is there, protecting and instructing her son as he becomes the man he's destined to be. The hunt is on in a season of powerful revelations, breathless pursuits and bravura effects. A mysterious 3-dot symbol (do UFOs provide a clue?), a girlfriend for John (is Cameron jealous?), ZeiraCorp (can it master the renegade software called Turk?) - Season 2's 6-disc action arsenal is locked, loaded, ready to amaze.Things blow up. Someone you think is a human turns out to be a shape-shifting Terminator. There are confusing forays through time and discussions about what happened when in which version of the past and/or future. But really, the second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles--unfortunately the final season of the series--is about family, connections, and the things we do to protect the ones we love. Sarah Connor (Lena Headey) has an especially rough road, nearly dying and becoming obsessed with a three-dot symbol and detours through a world of UFO obsessives. John Connor (Thomas Dekker), a.k.a. the guy who will grow up to lead humanity's resistance to the hated machines, gets tough and gets a girlfriend. His uncle Derek (Brian Austin Green) gets a girl as well, and the women in their lives turn out to have a surprising connection. Cameron (Summer Glau), the Terminator sent to protect John, suffers some damage and reveals some surprisingly human secrets of her own as her relationship with John gets more emotional and complicated. Shirley Manson (lead singer of Garbage) joins the cast as Catherine Weaver, an icy executive with. well, suffice it to say that a familiar (and threatening) face shows up in her company. The special features are extensive and include featurettes on the writing, effects, stunts, music and more. This is a fitting sendoff for an ambitious show. --Stephanie Reid-Simons
