I couldn't be less interested in the Sarah Connor Chronicles

From moviesonline, "The first photo for the Sarah Connor Chronicles has popped online via a Foreign Fansite. Not terribly exciting but the first pic none the less. Besides starring in Frank Miller’s highly stylized and exciting new epic "300," Lena Headey is caught in a war that will come to television with FOX’s "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," the TV series spun from the "Terminator" mythology. There has been much speculation about when, where, and how the show would be starting. Though it’s been established that it would take place after "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," there’s still a lot of questions out there regarding the exact setup for the timeline and mythos.

Headey commented to Sci Fi Wire about the show’s general premise; "It's them basically running, hiding, trying to live. Trying to carve out a normal life for themselves, but always being watched and trying to locate Skynet, trying to stop [it]. But there are many, many issues in their way." She also said that they just finished filming; "We were in Albuquerque [N.M.] for a month. And it was very intense, because TV is crazy. I mean, it's long days. It's like boom, boom, boom. You don't get any respite. But ... I think it's going to be great. I don't know if its going to be picked up, because it's only in pilot stage right now." She says that, but with all the buzz around it, and the rise of "Terminator 4" talk, this series has a better shot than most with an established fanbase to stand on.

She also spoke a little about how exactly it will begin, attempting to clear up some of that mystery. Apparently, the pilot will begin with a confrontation of some kind between her character Sarah Connor, son and soon-to-be savior of mankind John Connor, and two new terminators; one male and one female. The male terminator will be played by Owain Yeoman of the failed series, "The Nine." The female will be named Cameron, which harkens to the "Terminator" origin, its writer/director/producer James Cameron, and may hint that this is the good terminator (though Headey did not specify which would be the villain), and she will be played by Summer Glau, star of the all too short-lived FOX series "Firefly" and the movie based on the cult sensation Joss Whedon series "Serenity."

There’s more than enough going on here to spark interest for a season at least, and if they do it right and stay true to elements that made "Terminator" a cult sci-fi/action classic, then fans could be able to enjoy elements such as the strong and toughened Sarah Connor and the future gone awry with one great chance for a hero story that twists in time-space continuum circles that sweep us up in the apocalyptic chaos, and all this on a weekly basis. Seriality is all the rage right now, and if they can make "Chronicles" something that sucks us in and keeps us coming back for more, then this could be the next great sci-fi show, but some might call that great expectations this early in the game.
