Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The Complete Second Season (Blu-ray)

The time: today. The stakes: all our tomorrows. A nascent AI, assisted by droids, continues to edge toward world domination and the ruin of humankind. It accepts no limits. It fears no one. Except John Connor. The machines know John, now 16, is the future head of the resistance. They know he is growing in abilities. They must find and terminate him. But Sarah Connor is there, protecting and instructing her son as he becomes the man he’s destined to be. The hunt is on in a season of powerful revelations, breathless pursuits and bravura effects. A mysterious 3-dot symbol (do UFOs provide a clue?), a girlfriend for John (is Cameron jealous?), ZeiraCorp (can it master the renegade software called Turk?) – Season 2’s 5-disc action arsenal is locked, loaded, ready to amaze.

Things blow up. Someone you think is a human turns out to be a shape-shifting Terminator. There are confusing forays through time and discussions about what happened when in which version of the past and/or future. But really, the second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles--unfortunately the final season of the series--is about family, connections, and the things we do to protect the ones we love. Sarah Connor (Lena Headey) has an especially rough road, nearly dying and becoming obsessed with a three-dot symbol and detours through a world of UFO obsessives. John Connor (Thomas Dekker), a.k.a. the guy who will grow up to lead humanity's resistance to the hated machines, gets tough and gets a girlfriend. His uncle Derek (Brian Austin Green) gets a girl as well, and the women in their lives turn out to have a surprising connection. Cameron (Summer Glau), the Terminator sent to protect John, suffers some damage and reveals some surprisingly human secrets of her own as her relationship with John gets more emotional and complicated. Shirley Manson (lead singer of Garbage) joins the cast as Catherine Weaver, an icy executive with… well, suffice it to say that a familiar (and threatening) face shows up in her company. The special features are extensive and include featurettes on the writing, effects, stunts, music and more. This is a fitting sendoff for an ambitious show. --Stephanie Reid-Simons

    5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite show hands down!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2009

    This show was a pleasant surprise from start to finish. I have re-watched the entire series as it's a lot to remember, lots going on in all the 31 episodes. I personally found all 31 episodes to be brilliant, I would say Season 2 is a tincy better than Season 1. It's just for me, Season 2 is better because there is more, more action, more story. I was concerned going into this series that it would be a repeat of the quite tedious third installment of the franchise [Terminator 3] which was just action, no substance at all. I'm pleased to say this show isn't bang, bang, crash, bang, wallop like Terminator 3 is. I think people who aren't sure about checking out this series should give it a chance because I didn't think i'd like it but I've loved it from start to finish. I will say though in some episodes of Season 2 they were a tad slow but they were still really good episodes.

    The finale didn't go well with me the first viewing as it all happenned all so quickly. Having re-watched the finale quite a few times now I do understand the finale a lot more and do like it a lot opposed to my original reaction [which was "That's it, come on"]. I do think it would be nice to see a third season but in my honest opinion I think it all wraps up nicely so.... if a third season doesn't happen i'm not completly angry about it. I do think it's a shame that the show has been cancelled because I don't watch TV really, there's nothing really any good on now and sarah connor was the only thing I watched every week that was very consistent.

    I think what's amazing is that the show's quality is very consistent throughout. I love all the actors in it. British actress Lena Headey is amazing as Sarah connor in my opinion. All the others, Thomas Dekker, Summer glau, Richard T. Jones, Shirley Manson, Leven Rambin [Riley, yes, i do like her character un-like some people]. The only character I didn't like was Jeese, Derek's girlfriend. If no-one has watched the series, I suggest you walk away as I'm about to spoil something. Ok..... Jeese in my opinion shows her true colours in the last few episodes we see her. I found her to be a bitch to be honest and I'm glad Derek broke up with her as I think she deserved it after killing Riley. Cold cow [Jesse].

    I liked the Riley character to be honest, I found her quirky [but in a good way] quote "I thought 'cos you were weird you would get me" [to John]. I love her humour, she's so funny in my opinion "They're too nice, they're aliens". I agree with that people can be honest and express what they feel but I personally don't see what lots of people say about her character, I think she's a great character. I do think the actress who played Jeese did a good job with the character at the end of the day, so.... I don't think i was supposed to like her given the actions she did later on. I didn't mind her originally, I think her character is brilliant in Episode 9[Complications] of Season 2 when she interrogates a person she thinks is Charles Fisher from the future. She really showcases the bad-ass side that Sarah connor has. Having said that, this trait lasts with Sarah throughout the entire season and not the same for Jesse. I think Sarah connor is a likable person in the series, you can see she's very emotional at times, she can kick ass too [which is great to see]. The special effects are surprisingly very good for a TV show, the plotlines are fantastic, the pace is brilliant and overall it's a real treat from start to finish [wish it didn't have to end but doesn't everything have to, lol].

    All in all, It's a great show. Great blu-ray, it works on a PS3 [Europe/UK PS3] fine [I'm from the U.K., not from the U.S.]. I don't want to spoil anymore because some much goes on in the show and yup..... 5 stars all the way [well deserved imho].

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Genuine Loss
    Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2009

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was truly great television. I use the past tense appropriately since Fox has seen fit to cancel one of the best dramas on TV. There were so many things right about this show. The acting by all involved was excellent. The stories were well thought out, held your interest, and actually involved IDEAS! the show made you think about issues and possibilities. The themes were so compelling that they have entered into our culture. I recently saw a program (on the History Channel I believe) about ten things that could lead to the destruction of humanity. One of them was the development of machine artificial intelligence. This program was not a fantasy, but a thoughtful exploration of the risks that face us in the future. On the Military Channel, there was a program about the research going on at present to develop humanoid soldier robots for our military who have enough intelligence to function independently of a human controller. That means the KILL/NO-KILL decision would be left up to the machine. In both of these programs, the Terminator movies were mentioned as examples of what could be. Numerous other themes were explored in this series, but in the interest of brevity I won't repeat what others have already written. A previous reviewer spoke about whether a machine could ever actually be taught to love or is it just all programming. Does it really matter? The Turing Test tells us that when a machine imitation of anything is so good that humans are essentially unable to tell the difference between the machine's responses and that of a human, it no longer matters.

    The cancellation of dramas like this one by network executives is an example of capitalism at its worst. It is clear that in American industry (including the entertainment industry), NOTHING matters but the bottom line. All TV shows are viewed simply as containers for commercials. If the show doesn't draw enough viewers during broadcast, it is killed, no matter what other value it may have. Fans of a particular show or viewers interested in quality programming may fuss and fume, write reviews on Amazon, write letters to the network, but it doesn't matter. As the networks execs view it, that stuff doesn't bring home the bacon. Remember, the mantra of all American industries is "SHOW ME THE MONEY!"

    So, I have a suggestion to make to the execs who run these networks. It may appeal to their robber-baron mentality. If you have a really great show that has a solid fan base but just isn't generating the revenue from commercials, why not consider continuing to make the show, but sell it by subscription. Look at how many people are buying the DVDs of the Sarah Connor Chronicles. How many of them would be willing to sign up to receive regular mailings of new episodes on DVD for a reasonable price. I'd be willing to pay $50 or even $75 a year to receive new episodes on DVD. That doesn't sound like much, but when you multiply it by 400,000 or so, it starts looking a lot more attractive. It turns my stomach to say this, but someone in accounting at the network will immediately think of it: you could even put a few commercials on the DVD. Please, please put them all at the beginning or end and don't interfere with the pacing of the show that is so important in a drama.

    There may be questions about whether the public would be willing to subscribe like this. It will depend on whether or not the producing organization is able to keep the price reasonable. I would suggest tying it to the going price of a movie. For example, if the average price of a movie is $8 to $10, and the average movie is two hours in length, then you could charge $50 for 10 hours of the subscription show. This would allow the salvation of some really good art, for I believe that a good drama like T:TSCC is art. The TV execs could even pretend that they cared about things like art, even though we all know that is bull.

    Que decir de la serie salvo que es una maravilla, (solo diré eso ya que esto es una review del producto físico y no una página de críticas de cine).

    En general solo puedo expresar mi satisfacción con la compra del producto ya que cumple al 100% con lo prometido.

    La colección de Terminator Las Crónicas de Sarah Connor Temporada 2 viene con toda la segunda temporada completa, con bastante contenido adicional en los discos (extras, comentarios de los directores y los actores, ensayos de escenas complejas de la serie, escenas eliminadas, detrás de las cámaras, etc), y aunque el producto es la versión alemana, os garantizo que tiene absoluto y perfecto idioma Castellano de España (no latino) además de inglés, alemán así como los subtítulos, que los tenemos en español, alemán, inglés...

    La calidad del sonido es estupenda, así como la imagen Full HD. Podemos acceder a los capítulos, selección de idioma y extras desde el menú del disco con nuestro mando del reproductor Blue Ray que tengamos.

    En resumen, solo puedo decir que esta serie es una joya para los fans de la saga, que la tendrán en completo castellano en la versión alemana, además también la tendrán en castellano en la temporada 1 de la versión alemana, también hice la review. Saludos

    5.0 out of 5 stars So full of promise, so perfect, so touching, so grounded... so cancelled.
    Reviewed in Canada on June 28, 2017

    Somewhat less well paced than it's first season, T:SCC 2 sometimes forget to showcase its cyborgs to it's full capacity. The show here also trumps it's name to become less about Sarah and more about John. All of which is superficial, but might have been accessory in it's untimely demise.
    Yes... this gem was cancelled. Far too soon. And though you might comfort yourself by playing the 2 seasons between Terminator : Salvation and Gynesis...
    Nothing... Nothing could be as good and developed as what more seasons of this could have been.

    When finally it all comes together, it's hard to understand how that show could be cancelled. And rarely has something left me in such a state of grief that a sequel was not under way. The only comparative would be the end of Farscape season 4 if no movie was ever made. Even Firefly does not leave you as much wanting for more.
    It does have a satisfactory "ending" to it's chapter though. The implication of which are nonetheless staggering and left unexplored.

    That season is also the only real attempt in the franchise to break the loop once and for all.
    The slow road to the only logical choice. The reasonable one.
    If you just want a show for passing time and you think about this one about killer machines from the future, then take it.
    But you'll need the 5 other movies as band aids to patch the hole this season will leave in your hearth.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Bereicherung...
    Reviewed in Germany on November 29, 2013

    Frage: War es wirklich notwendig und sinnvoll, diese Serie zu produzieren- wo die Filme doch kaum zu toppen sind????
    Antwort: Ja!!! Ein sehr mutiger Schritt, dessen Spuren tiefere Eindrücke hinterlassen haben, als zuvor geahnt.

    Terminator S.C.C. ist eine klare Bereicherung und Mehrwert zu den Filmen - vor allem von Teil 1 bis 3.
    Die Handlung der Serie bewegt sich zwischen dem zweiten und dritten Terminator-Film.

    Warum es sinnvoll ist, sich die beiden Staffeln von Terminator S.C.C. anzuschauen???
    1. Die Story ist sehr gut und absolut sinnvoll erzählt. Es ist keine abgehobene Geschichte, die sich im Erfolg von den Terminator-Filmen baden will - Nein, es ist eine Geschichte, welche viel tiefer ins Sarah und John Conners-Universum einsteigt. Die Serie erzählt die Geschichte von der gejagten Sarah und Ihrem Sohn John Conner -dem zukünftigen Anführer des Widerstands aus der Zukunft.
    Natürlich sind es andere Darsteller, als in den Filmen. Die Rollen sind jedoch perfekt besetzt, vor allem die des weiblichen Beschützers von John Conner - Summer Glau, sie spielt ihre Rolle sehr sehr gut. Ebenso John Conner's Rolle und die seiner Mutter sind perfekt besetzt und gespielt.

    Die einzelne Handlungsstränge und Wendungen führen den Zuschauer immer tiefer in die Psyche der aktiven Figuren, in den Filmen wäre das einfach nicht möglich gewesen. Das Verständnis der Aufgaben und die zu bewältigten Hindernisse von Sarah und John Conner wird immer klarer, je mehr man in die Serie einsteigt und das ist auch eine absolute Bereicherung zum Verständnis der Terminator-Filme selbst.
    Man könnte es etwa so verstehen, dass man den Zeitabschnitt zwischen dem zweiten und dritten Teil der Terminator-Filme mit einem magischen Vergrößerungsglas betrachtet, mit dem man Dinge an Licht bringen kann, was sonst nie mögliche gewesen wäre. Die Zeit wird gedehnt und die einzelnen Figuren und deren Schicksalsmomente erscheinen in einem komplexeren Zusammenhang, als man es sonst wahrnehmen könnte.

    Angefangen von der ersten Episode bis hin zur letzten der zweiten Staffel, hat jede ihre Berechtigung, wobei es natürlich Stärken und Schwächen der einzelnen Episoden gibt - eben so, wie im richtigen Leben und in der Filmwelt allgemein..

    Es ist zwar sehr schade, dass die Serie mit der zweiten Staffel endet, weil sie aufgrund sinkender TV-Zuschauer-Quoten einfach terminiert wurde, jedoch war man zumindest bemüht, ein einigermaßen anständiges Ende zu finden. Natürlich bleiben da ein paar Fragen und Möglichkeiten offen - auf der anderen Seite jedoch ist es ein wunderbarer Einblick in die Zwischenwelt zwischen dem zweiten und dritten Terminator-Film. Da gibt es nicht wenige klasse Serien, denen das gleiche Schicksal geschah (Firefly, Rom, Farscape usf.)
    Die im dritten Teil erwähnte Geschichte vom Krebs von Sarah Conner findet auch den Weg in die Serie und wird dort gut in die Story eingebracht.

    Zur Blu-ray: Das Bild ist sehr gut. Vollbild - gute Schärfe und Detailwiedergabe. Angenehmes HD-Feeling. Da gibt es wirklich nichts zu meckern. Der deutsche Ton ist leider nur in Stereo auf der Blu-ray. Zugegeben, der Stereo-Sound ist sehr sauber abgemischt, aber trotzdem ist es nicht zu verstehen, eine Blu-ray nicht mit einem -zumindest 5.1 Mix- auszustatten.
    Da kann man nur hoffen dass das irgendwann einmal ein Ende findet und die Blu-ray generell zumindest mit einem 5.1 Mix ausgestattet wird.

    Fazit:
    Mir haben beide Staffeln sehr gut gefallen. Die zweite Staffel allein hat 22 Episoden und 973 Minuten Spielzeit, das ist doch sehr gut.
    Sehr gute Darsteller bis in die Nebenrollen. Klasse schauspielerische Leistungen. Story und Entwicklung auf einem Top-Niveau.
    Eine wirkliche Bereicherung der Terminator-Welt - egal, was da noch kommen mag.

    Reviewed in France on June 20, 2010

    On a entendu beaucoup de négatif à propos de cette série, malheureusement mise à mort par la Fox faute d'audience suffisante aux Etats-Unis. Ce simple fait illustre la qualité de la série : trop riche et trop compliquée pour un public habitué aux foutaises "bons contre méchants", la saison 2 des "Sarah Connor Chronicles" exploite avec un talent manifeste toute la mystique du Terminator de James Cameron.

    Déjà, les scénaristes se sont montrés capables de jongler avec les époques et les contraintes posées par les trois premiers films, ce qui n'était pas une mince affaire.

    Ensuite, ces mêmes scénaristes ont exploré de nombreuses pistes laissées vierges par les films faute de temps. La première d'entre elles, qu'on trouve déjà chez Isaac Asimov dans le cycle des robots (années 1950 !), c'est la cohabitation humains-robots et les conséquences de celle-ci. Ainsi, Sarah Connor contrainte, malgré elle, de respecter (tout en se méfiant) Cameron...Derek Reese, soumis lui aussi à l'obligation d'inclure le beau Terminator dans son mode de fonctionnement au quotidien, voire même - horreur ! - de lui faire confiance. Et que dire de John Connor, qui développe un sentiment proche de l'amour pour Cameron, et qui se demande dans quelle mesure Cameron elle-même, influencée par sa fréquentation permanente avec des humains, ne commencerait pas à éprouver des "sentiments", fussent-ils électroniques...On se prend à imaginer ce qu'aurait pu donner un thème aussi riche s'il avait été exploité par un cinéaste européen, libéré des contraintes stupides des studios de Hollywood.

    En second lieu, on trouve bien sûr le traitement des paradoxes temporels, mais abordés sous un angle assez original. Contrairement à ce qui est proposé dans "Fréquence Interdite" (Hoblit 2000), les personnages qui sont soumis à de tels paradoxes n'ont pas les deux types de souvenirs en même temps. De fait, cela produit des situations (dialogues, confrontations, actes) extrêmement intéressants, d'autant plus intrigants qu'ils se déroulent sous l'oeil froid de Cameron - seul personnage à tout savoir, eu égard à son "passé" (i.e. son futur sous l'autorité de John Connor, pendant la guerre contre les machines). Passionnant !

    Après, il y a l'humour, toujours discret, toujours juste. Cameron apprend à vivre au milieu des humains, et certaines scènes n'ont rien à envier à la bêtise rigoureuse du T-800 venu protéger John Connor dans "Judgment Day" (un certain "Merci de votre coopération" aurait du rester dans les annales !!).

    Ensuite, comme dans presque toutes les productions américaines, les acteurs sont très, très bons. Particulièrement Thomas Dekker (John) et Garret Dilahunt (absolument terrifiant). La mise en scène est inventive, riche de trouvailles et de plans impossibles. De nombreux épisodes sont réalisés avec une qualité proche de celle d'un long métrage de bonne facture. Les effets spéciaux sont discrets et servent toujours l'histoire - ils ne sont jamais gratuits.

    Bref, cette série est un must pour tous les amateurs de Terminators - les clins d'oeil sont nombreux.
