So I just started watching the Sarah Connor Chronicles online yesterday because, for some reason I can't quite remember, I was curious as to whether it was any good. I can now say, after watching the entire first season, that I am hooked.

Don't get me wrong, there are still things about the continuity that bug me. I can be a real stickler for dates and how much time has passed. (Like the fact that, according to the SCC, Kyle Reese was 8 years old on Judgment Day, when in T1 he states that he did not see the war, but rather grew up afterward. Or how about T2 taking place 2-3 years before the 1997 Judgment Day, but at the start of the show it is 1999 and only two years have passed since T2? You know, just little details like that.) And I know it was only the first season, but I was dying for some kind of reference from John or Sarah about the good Terminator from T2, especially since John was so attached to him. Still, I thought it was cool how Silberman referenced that scene in T2 where they come for Sarah at Pescadara. (I love that scene, by the way... Sarah taking Arnold's hand... hell, I just love the whole damn movie.)

My point is, despite some of those contunuity flubs that I've seen, I still really enjoyed watching the series so far, and I will most likely make it a point to watch it once it starts back up in a few days. The Terminator movies (1 and 2, at least) are some of my very favorite movies, and I feel like the show stays true to a lot of the feel of the movies. As a Kyle Reese fan, I was happy to see him mentioned more than once, and actually even show up multiple times in flashbacks and as a kid. I guess I'm looking at this show like a piece of incredible, off-the-charts fanfic. You know, the kind that blows your mind and makes you hungry for more. The AUs that you know don't quite fit with the real timeline, but you still want to know what happens, and the characters are still true to the originals. While I miss Linda Hamilton's presence as Sarah, I think Headey does a pretty good job, and I enjoy watching Dekker's take on John.

Overall, I am pleased with the show. (But I still hope the new Terminator movie doesn't follow off of either the show or T3, simply because both have screwed up the timeline. And yes, I know I'm being picky.)

If only they could play the music from the movie in the show! That would be just amazing.

Oh yeah, almost forgot about my new dragon eggs! (And I did not even know the purple one had cracked. Joy!)



Pretty colors :D
