'Come With Me If You Want to Live' -- Trailer for 'Sarah Connor Chronicles'
Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, 20th Century Fox, Home Entertainment, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels
OK, we're skirting dangerously close to TV Squad's turf here, but hey, it's not every day you get a new TV series based on one of the most popular science fiction series of the modern age! Click right here to check out the brand-new promotional trailer for Fox's The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which not only delivers the seriously sexy Lena Headey as the titular character, but also Firefly's Summer Glau as a sexy robotic butt-kicker sent back from the future to keep our young hero safe! Cool! (Oh, and the young man looks like he could be potentially "dreamy." His name's Thomas Dekker and he can presently be seen as Zach on Heroes.)Created by genre veteran David Nutter (he's worked on geek-shows as cool as The X-Files, Roswell and Smallville) and written by War of the Worlds co-penner Josh Friedman, The Sarah Connor Chronicles will take place between the action of Terminator 2: Judgment Day and the deliciously dark ending of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Won't that placement kind of spoil some of the surprises since those of us who saw T3 already know what happens to these characters? Well, maybe. But I'm pretty sure that Nutter and Friedman have considered that angle. Plus we can always use another GOOD sci-fi series on television, so color me suitably psyched to see Sarah this fall. (Just in case you forgot: Lena Headey was the woman in 300. The only woman.)

Well, I chose to completely ignore Terminator 3, so that's not a problem for me.

The ONLY woman in 300? I guess the Oracle Girl didn't make much of an impression on you, huh?

T3 was fucking citizen Kane compared to this
I can only hope FOX will cancel it after a few episodes so that we can all forget about it.

HOOOOOLY FUCK
That was the most incredible piece of shit-tastic garbage I've ever seen. That little girl squeaking, "Come with me if you want to live" was laughable.
So, as a 20-something year old man, you want me to watch a show about a pansy-ass boy constantly being scolded and protected by his mommy and little girlfriend, whining about saving the future?
Christ...the emasculation of America continues.

i was stoked for this show until i learned it was on fox...that means 4 or 5 episodes will be shown, most likely out of order ..then cancellation. your best bet is to wait until the comeplete series dvd. when are nathan fillion, gina torres and summer glau going to learn not to trust fox.

It looks good to me. The special effects seem on the same level of Heroes and Battlestar Galactica, and I love Lena Headey as Sarah Connor.
As for Summer Glau it's pretty clear from the trailer that her Terminator has to blend in in a high school, and befriends her schoolmates, John in particular. It's more of an undercover agant, than a cyborg soldier. I like the idea.
I don't see what's the problem...

Whats the problem?
It looks like Smallville with a different premise - and I think Smallville was just Dawsons Creek but with Superman.
Ah the troubled life of a teen with the fate of the world on his whiney bitch shoulders.

Well, I would say that it was the premise at the roots of Terminator 2 as well. Again, I don't see what's the problem with it, unless you want all your heroes to be Real Men, perfect, brave, self assured...Maybe you should go and rent The Marine...
