We just finished this one. And I must admit... I went into this one not knowing what to expect. Going by the trailer it could have been good or bad. Luckily I enjoyed it much more then I thought I would. It was a lot of fun to watch... especially seeing some of the characters from actual video games. The story easily kept my interest. I would suggest giving this one a chance if you haven't already.... don't think you will be sorry.

My Thoughts:
This is one of the many DVDs that was recently given to me. When I found out I was getting it I watched the trailer online. The trailer looked so good that I was anxiously waiting to get the chance to watch it. Unfortunately I never seen the original one to be able to compare the two. So I can't say how well it holds up to the original. But I can say that this is a good action-packed movie. I enjoyed watching it quite a bit. Of course it isn't exactly what you would call a thought-provoking epic.... but when you are in the mood for a good leave your brain at the door action movie you can definitely do worse. After watching this one I would like to get my hands on the original.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete Second Season marathon, a review by goodguy

2x12 Alpine Fields
Synopsis: Sarah and Cameron work to save a family on the list with a connection to Derek and Jesse in the future.
My Rating:

After the revelations of 2x10, the show goes off on a tangent for the second time in a row. That's either a pretty ballsy move, the result of the network asking for more self-contained episodes, or padding towards the mid-season finale (2x13). While I like to think it is the first, in reality it is probably a little of all three.

Since I'm rewatching the series, I obviously have more patience for things that maybe considered distractions from the main plot. But I have to say that it didn't bother me on first viewing either. And while the episode has no relation to the main plot, it does relate to the main story

Another thing that bugged me is that first they to spoil the suspense by giving certain information "accidentally" too early (who is the terminator after...?) just to give us an entire different solution later; it felt cheap.

Erm, no. At that point, we know (from the now-frame) that Lauren's father is already dead and that the terminator is still after pregnant Anne and Lauren.
