First Impressions: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

The Sarah Connor Chronicles

“One bag. Plus guns. I’ll make pancakes.” That’s the order from commitment phobic Sarah Connor to her son, ultimate saviour of the human race, when she gets spooked by a marriage proposal from her boyfriend and decides to clear out of town.

That she can say ‘pack the guns’ and ‘I’ll make pancakes’ in the same statement shows how much protecting John Connor from the terminators has become her entire life.

Spot The Terminator

Even after moving to a new town, it isn’t long before a terminator known as Cromartie manages to track John down at his new school. Cromartie is even intelligent enough to pose as a substitute teacher. He takes a roll call while slicing open his leg to reveal a concealed gun (inconvenient, since he just took a load of papers out of a briefcase). He’s even programmed for witty one-liners - making sure to say “Class dismissed” before jumping out the window in pursuit of John. Ah well, it’s better than “I’ll be back”, and who wouldn’t want the human race to be wiped out by wisecracking cyborgs?

Thankfully, future John Connor had the good sense to send back the sexiest Terminatrix in the history of the franchise - Cameron. Yes, even hotter than Kristiana Loken. Unlike her musclebound predecessor, this cy-babe (yes, I invented that word) doesn’t have to peel off her skin to prove her inner robot - she simply lets her eyes pulse with an electric blue colour. Comes in handy when the Connors pay a visit to Myles Dyson’s wife.
