Introduction to The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 1

The story is set between the second and third movies of the Terminator series. The main storyline revolves around the Connors continuing to evade the pursuit of robots. After the baptism of the second movie, Sarah has become a thoroughly strong woman. In the fifth episode of the first season of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, due to her destruction of the embryonic "Skynet" with the help of T800, it seems like she and her son can live a peaceful life. But how could the writers let them have peace? Aren't they two living people? They are clearly a huge gold mine waiting to be exploited! The killer robots soon find the whereabouts of the two, and the protective robot quickly takes its position. The series starts off with great excitement. But if we look beyond the temporary "excitement" and take a look at what lies behind the series, The Sarah Connor Chronicles hides a great crisis.

The story of "Terminator 5" takes place in 2011, while the second one happened in 1997. The series begins in 1999 and, with the help of robots traveling through time, arrives in 2007 (American TV series generally run parallel to real time). From 2007-2011 (indicating that the series would last for no more than four seasons, though I tend to believe The Sarah Connor Chronicles won't last that long), such a short time span leaves little room for maneuver for The Sarah Connor Chronicles, making it hard for the scriptwriters to show their skills. More fatally, Sarah Connor has already died before the events of "Terminator 5," so the series tells the story of a "dead person." Terminator 5 is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle for The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The essence of American TV series actually all lies in the script, and the key to the script is suspense. The existence of T5 completely eliminates this suspense, so it can be said that The Sarah Connor Chronicles has already come to an end. FOX Network currently only has the broadcasting rights for 15 episodes. Once these 15 episodes are over, whether the series will continue remains unknown. In fact, the company's top management is well aware of the weaknesses of this series, but seeing the declining trends of the flagship shows "24" and "Prison Break," they can only use The Sarah Connor Chronicles to save the market. Despite its inherent deficiencies, The Sarah Connor Chronicles also has obvious advantages. Generally speaking, when a new series is born, there is a long period of cultivating its audience. The Sarah Connor Chronicles can quickly attract attention and popularity thanks to the "star effect" of The Terminator, and quickly cultivate and win over a group of viewers. As long as it looks decent (from the effect of the first episode, The Sarah Connor Chronicles indeed achieved this point), naturally, "Terminator fans" will come to support and buy into it.

The mutual penetration and borrowing between American TV series and Hollywood is no longer a secret. Many popular classic TV series have been adapted into movies (just to name a few examples: Charlie's Angels, Mission: Impossible, Bewitched), but cases where movies are adapted into TV series are still rare. The Sarah Connor Chronicles is such a series. Its name directly translates to "The Legend of Sarah Connor." It's very clear that the main character of the series is not the future leader John Connor, nor the robot terminator, but John's mother. In the first two Terminator movies, we've all seen Sarah's prowess - not only strong and independent, but also decisive in action. In the Terminator series, if Governor Schwarzenegger is the male lead, then Sarah is undoubtedly the female lead. The third part's scriptwriter removed the character of Sarah, thus The Rise of the Machines had only the skeleton of a "robot war" but lacked the expressiveness of the characters.

The beginning of the year's "300" not only let us see 300 naked gentlemen, but also made us remember Lena Headey's charming face. Lena Headey, who has always played minor roles in movies, finally soared to fame through her portrayal of the queen in "300." In The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Lena Headey, who plays Sarah, is undoubtedly the biggest star in the entire series and the biggest selling point of the series.
