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

Obviously everyone interested on this product is well aware of the terminator franchise, the story and all of its elements, also, considering this is the second season we are talking about you should have seen the first season and know the show's pace.

Season 2 continues where we were left off and keeps building momentum until the super exciting season/series finale. Even when there is no real ending to the show it does feel like a chapter has been completed and the major misteries or plots of the season were addressed and answered at least partially. For the ones wondering if it is worth even with no "real ending" the ride alone should be more than enough, really! and as a plus you get a full season of Summer Glau awesomeness, sorry couldnt leave that off lol

And finally, about the blu ray presentation something that really got my attention from the first minute of this season, is the video quality, is just soooo much better than the first season, not that the 1st has a bad transfer or anything, but this one really blows your mind, i guess kudos to the studio are in order for at least giving us fans a proper treatment even after knowing the show has been canceled.

In conclusion, get this and the first season if you havent already because this is the only way we have now to support this great show and good tv in general.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is better than you might think. It looks and sounds like an action series, and I'll grant you that there is plenty of "action." However, the scriptwriting is at the highest standard. Character development is nuanced and subtle. The dialogue is rich and surprising. And the episodes leave you with much to think about. For my taste, there is more action, and certainly more shooting, than necessary (I don't require any at all to be entertained). Thus my top-rated science fiction series this year remains the brilliantly-conceived and character-driven Stargate Universe (I haven't seen Caprica yet). Nonetheless, I really look forward to each episode of this series, because the characters and stories are so rich and complex. You might wish to reconceptualize this series as a science fiction/drama employing an action "theme" as a driver. The writers are brilliant. The acting is superb, with Summer Glau an old favourite from her Firefly days.

It's very sad that the execs decided to kill off The Sarah Connor chronicals. I've always been a fan of the Terminator films and I think the tv series carried on the themes and the development of the charecters well. As a series Sarah Conner got off to a good start and only seemed to get better and better. The new charecters developed and progressed well throughout the show, particularly Summer Glau's terminator Cammeron.
But as said the network execs got cold feet and just looked at the viewing figures in the states and made the cowardly decision to pull the plug just as the production team were getting into their stride.
This second series is the best and longest of the two and demonstrates the strengths and some of the future direction of the show.
Maybe one day some wisdom and guts will grow within tv execs and they'll give Sarah Connor Chronicals one more try.

This has been an amazing series, and I cannot believe it appears the network have cancelled it! What were they thinking????? Watch it anyway, it is far better than the recent film (which I still enjoyed).

It is a daunting task to come behind successful movies and produce a weekly T.V. show of the same subject, but the Sarah Connor Chronicles have done just that. I love it and look forward, hopefully, to other seasons. The actors and writers of this series are splendid.
