My expectations were not high, particularly after the Bionic Woman reboot disaster. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It was at least good enough to get my scifi fix. I thought the casting was good. They acting was not bad. The script was not ridiculous. They even threw in a few smart remarks reminiscent of Arnold's, "talk to the hand." I know the actress playing Sarah is no Linda Hamilton, but that was never going to happen. I remember Linda having the arms of female body builder and at the time. Maybe the producers did not see that working for the series. Anyway, the casting of Sarah Connor, was definitely better than the casting of Jamie Summers. She has a weariness about her that plays well Picking Summer Glau to Replace Arnold was smart. He can't be replaced, so throw the audience a wisp of a girl who looks so innocent as Summer. I will definitely return, but here is how they might loose me and possibly other viewers. I have little patience for the fugitive storyline in series. By its very nature the story becomes formulaic. They come after us----> We run----> They almost catch us-----> We barely get away----> We live to run another day.
In a movie it can be exciting. In a series it can become extremely tedious. If you look at Prison Break, critics first touted it as being groundbreaking. Now they are calling it ridiculous. I'll be back... I just don't know for how long maidmarian_thepoet wrote: > Glad that you identified the actress as Summer Glau. I kept thinking > that I knew her. And, of course I do--from Serenity.
