Entertainment Weekly has published the first photo of Owain Yeoman as one of the new evil Terminator's in The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a new show hitting Fox this January (click on the image for a larger version courtesy of Coming Soon). The series picks up, time-wise, after Terminator 2: Judgment Day, while Sarah Connor (played by the very lovely Lena Headey, 300) and her son John (Thomas Dekker) are on the run from the authorities and, well, evil robots. Eventually, they decide to stop running and confront their problems head-on. To make things interesting, John meets a girl at school (Summer Glau) who turns out to be the new Terminator sent to protect him and Sarah. In addition to the television show, we'll also be getting three more Terminator films, all of which (we believe) will take place in the future and not in present day. Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins (aka Terminator 4) may or may not be directed by McG and is scheduled to hit theaters in 2009.
What do you think about this new Terminator TV series? Does it have any promise, or do you not see it making it past the first season?

I have seen the first episode and it doesn't look that promising. But I would not want to judge a show based on only 1 episode so I'll still check it out when it hits. On a side note that guy Owain Yeoman is not that great of a Terminator.

The pilot is rubbish.
It's destined to become Smallville with robots. They're stuck into a strict time line with little leeway for character development. We know what happens to both John and Sarah, so there's never going to be any tension there, additional characters made up for the show will no doubt be uninteresting, crap and amount to nothing more than a fleet of red shirts and as much as a like her, Glau just isn't a convincing terminator. Don't even get me started on the other guy.
So yeah, not really expecting much.

I saw the Pilot. It was better than I expected -- but I expected a train wreck. It was enjoyable. But the Terminator(s) -- especially that guy pictured -- were awful.

They should have done the Lucas thing, expanded universe. Surely there were more targets than the Connors so why not focus on that? Sometimes the producers think audiences are stupid and incapable of moving away from the already well known characters.
I am up to seeing it though, why not...

This is gonna come off sounding bad but: if/when the writers strike, this is the stuff they're gonna be withholding till they get a better deal? This kinda junk? Man from what I know about negotiating, you have to have some juice, an ace up the sleeve, when you get there. Too much of this junk on TV already.
