I've been behind on Lost since half way though the first season - usually end up watching it in bursts every couple months - but now I'm caught up. Well, almost. I finally finished off the third season (and started the the fourth) today during lunch.



OMG. Also, wow. SO happy this show is good again. Struggled to get through the second season, but now the addiction's back. :)

I like(d) River Tam. Lots. And I like(d) the Terminator franchise. Also lots. Despite both of these facts, however, I had less than zero interest in Sarah Conner Chronicles. Mainly because the chances of a Terminator TV show being bearable - much less good - was about as likely as me getting out of credit card debt in the foreseeable future.

That said, I download the free pilot on iTunes (direct link to show) for the hell of it yesterday, with the thinking that - at the very least - it could amuse me for my lunch hour. Well, it was amusing, so much so that I purchased the second episode as soon as the first was done. My first ever iTunes TV purchase. Which - for someone who has no qualms about acquiring shows by other methods - says quite a lot.

This is the thing: the show was fantastic. Like, It didn't ignore the mythos of Terminator 2, it embraced it. It had good production values, solid (and just cheesy enough) acting, and a really cool time-travel deus ex machina moment that was surprisingly fitting and intelligent, whilst also cutting out the T3 events in a believable way. Overall great fun and one of the better shows I've seen lately, I just hope it can keep up the pace - good TV is getting hard to find these days...
