| The return of The Sarah Connor Chronicles

!!!!!! This review contains spoilers !!!!!!
Following the events of last season a new Terminator is introduced plus Cameron experiences a malfunction which has her targeting John for termination.
Well the Terminator series is back and it didn't miss a step. This show is really delivering the goods like no other show has. Since we didn't know that there would be a second season the writers did like other writings are doing they left us with a cliffhanger wanting more. Gladly to fans the networks at FOX saw the potential of the show (despite the obvious big budget cost) and here we have another season to enjoy.
This time around certain things have changed and other things have not. We get a brand new terminator (another female), we have Cameron possibly "going bad" something that Derek Reese alluded to last season. However, she didn't become bad by choice, the explosion from last season messed up her memory and her "other" objective kicked in to kill John Connor. This set up a lot of intense and action packed scenes that were very similar to T2 but still well done as to not appear as a simple copycat of the movie.
I especially loved the scene where Cameron even though she looked weak by the explosion was still kicking ass and completely knocked over the car Sarah was driving.
We still haven't seen the "warrior of mankind" that we expect from John but again the show is called the Sarah Connor Chronicles so we expect Sarah to come his rescue.
Still though I don't mind as I said this show has so much action, great action and intensity that you don't mind that the show plays around and takes liberties with Terminator universe. Take for example, that really intimate scene where John is about to disable Cameron. Cameron in an obvious ploy to trick John tells him she loves him. John is shocked that the cyborg can show emotion. This coincides with the other Terminator from last season also showing emotion by deciding not to kill Agent Ellison despite the fact that he practically massacred Ellison's team.
It's stuff like this that Terminator purist might detest as Terminators aren't really made to show emotion but in this case an exception can be made. Cameron's "emotion" was clearly a clever ploy to mimic emotion. The other Terminator's decision to not terminate (pun intended) Ellison might be the result of him have other plans.
Anyways, John does "fix" Cameron as best he can and takes a big leap of faith (much to the disapproval of everyone) that Cameron won't kill him. Truth be told as much as this seems to be a stupid move on John's part, he is right they do need Cameron to ward of the threats of the other terminators that are coming. Since Sarah and John are still fugitives they need all the help they can get.
The new female terminator was awesome. There is a debate about whether she's a T-1000 or a much more advance version. Whatever the case is, the special effects of her morphing was awesome Stan Winston RIP whose ILM worked on T2 would be proud.
I don't know what will happen next but we are in for another great season.
