Quotes:

Sarah Connor: [opening Intro] In the future my son will lead mankind in a war against Skynet, a computer system designed to destroy the world. It has sent machines back through time to kill him, one to protect him. Today we fight to stop Skynet from ever being created. To change our future. To change his fate. The war to save mankind begins now!

Movie Connections:

Spin off from The Terminator (1984)

Someone please Terminate this (spoilers)

It was a painful struggle to actually watch the whole of the first episode. Riddled with poor dialogue and even worse acting there was nothing at all to enjoy in this 45 minutes of hell. Just to cap off the amazing clichés the plot made no sense whatsoever. In fact why the Connors even bother "running" is beyond me because the is a magical person always there to anticipate their next move. Then came the "surpise" ending that leapt John, Mum and eye candy Terminator from 1999 to 2007 to fight skynet. It would have made far more sense to go back in time to kill the skynet creator before any of the terminators had even attempted to kill John. If you fancy punishing yourself for wrong doings, please watch this and all your sins will be forgiven.
