My Thoughts:

This is actually an old favorite of mine. Though I love the story and the spirit, it suffers from one flaw - - -too much music. I personally think a song or two is plenty. But, C'mon! A song just for the villain to explain his plan? A song where the dragons impersonate Elvis and Sunny & Cher? Ugh.

Nonetheless, still a favorite! I wouldn't be surprised if I felt like watching it again!

Robot Wars, a review by GSyren

Title	Robot Wars (5-037899-047576)
Director	Albert Band
Actors	Don Michael Paul, Barbara Crampton, James Staley, Lisa Rinna, Danny Kamekona
Produced	1993 in United States
Runtime	67 minutes
Audio	English Dolby Digital Mono
Subtitles	None
Overview	Toward the end of the 21st Century two great powers dominated the world, a division that resulted from a 30-year war known as the War of the Hemispheres. The war came to an end with the creation of giant, indestructible mega-robots designed for military missions and balance of power. Recently, the mega-robot has become a tourist attraction and is used for tours through the wasteland. While on one such tour, the MRAS-2 is attacked by an extremely violent terrorist group known as the Murdaggians. Their leader turns out to be a frequent passenger on the mega-robot, Professor B. Wa-Lee, who hijacks the MRAS-2. The only hope to stop the Murdaggians is Lane Drury, the robot s pilot. But can he do it in time?
My thoughts	Robot Wars is the sequel to the 1989 film Robot Jox. This is no Pacific RimRobot Jox wasn't terribly good. This is worse. I bought the DVD because I'm a stop motion junkie, and this one has animation by Dave Allen and Jim Danforth. Not their greatest hour. At his best, Jim Danforth is almost a match for Ray Harryhausen. If you want to see where his animation really shines, try When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth. It's not a terribly good movie, either, but there is quite a lot of animation, and it's first class. This movie is really not worth more than two and a half stars, but I'm adding a half star just because it's stop motion, even if it is second rate.

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

22. BORN TO RUN
The Connors come face-to-face with Weaver in a confrontation that shakes John to the core and changes his fate forever.

My Comments:
I didn't see any of this coming. Some of it was hinted at, probably more than once. Also a big surprise was how little action there was. I enjoyed every second of this episode (except for the very last one, actually), a perfect blend of character moments, emotion, action, funny moments.

An excellent finish, which ends the series properly and makes good sense; although it had me think to get most details of it. ...I obviously struggle to write about this one as I feel anything could be a spoiler and all of it deserves to be experienced fresh when viewed for the first time. (Yes, we spoiled most other episodes, but somehow for this one it feels different.)
