Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles

I hate watching a TV series and there are two reasons for this. The one is that the series might suck and if it is based on a movie then it just ruins the movie. The other is the series might be great but they run out of budget and you are left in limbo.

Thankfully TSCC is in the second category. I just finished watching the 2nd season and it was brilliant. The last five episodes or so with the new added twist really makes the whole Terminator universe grow.

The story was so good that I am scared to go and watch T4 in a few months time because that movie might miss the whole universe and what it is about and just focus on the action turning it into just one big dumb action movie which would be sad.

I really hope they continue with TSCC because I hate being left in limbo and if they do not make season 3 then I will have the same feeling that I had with some other shows that were just stopped.

BSG was great in the sense that they decided end of season 4 will be the end, so they gave a good ending that brought closure and that is what I hope TSCC will do as well. I am a big Smallville fan but I am really thinking they are pushing the limits, 8 seasons and no ending in sight, I would hate it if Smallville had no ending and is just canned.

So on the whole TSCC season 2 was very good and I feel it really made the Terminator universe grow a bit more from the the standard Terminator wants to kill John, they run and run and run, kill Terminator, the end.

Sinotec 42" Full HD LCD

My 84cm CRT TV broke for the second time, so I decided to buy the Sinotec 42" LCD TV.

Works amazing sofar. It even has a D-Sub input and can do 1360x768, so 720p movies on my hard disk can be displayed at great detail.
