DVD Review – Terminator TSCC Season 2

Following on from the spectacular first season, Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles Season 2 is out now on Blu-ray and DVD!

Starring Lena Headey (St. Trinians, The Brothers Grimm), Thomas Dekker (Heroes, A Nightmare on Elm Street), Summer Glau (Serenity, The 4400), Brian Austin Green and Richard T. Jones, season two picks up right where the first series left off!

The heart-racing action and technological weaponry is set to wow fans of the blockbuster Terminator franchise. The intense second season sees Sarah and her teenage son, John, relentlessly battling to save themselves and the world time and time again. Fugitives from the law, they must evade pursuers from the future – and the present – in today’s Los Angeles.

Picking up where Season 1 left off, Sarah Connor continues on her mission to bring down the Skynet Artificial Intelligence Network. Her son John is mankind’s only hope in the war against our own creations but at 16, he is rebelling against the reality of his destiny – Sarah must protect him by taking out Terminators and federal officers every step of the way.

No Terminator fan should miss out on the exciting DVD and BD extras available. Insightful audio commentary, ‘terminated’ scenes, a full ‘gag reel’ plus various new featurettes revealing backstage secrets and amazing fight scene rehearsals make this box set essential to complete any collection.

Having watched the entire run of this show it’s more than fair to say that Season 2 upped the ante on the Sarah Conner Chronicles. Introducing “Garbage” front-woman Shirley Manson as the deadly and deceptive T-1000, Catherin Weaver was a masterstroke and it succeeded in adding yet another layer to this already intricately woven story.

Sadly, the show was cancelled at the end of the second season, much to the disappointment of Terminator fans around the globe, but there’s still plenty to see here first as Sarah Conner begins to uncover a vast conspiracy, paving the way for the birth of Skynet and the future that she has fought so hard to prevent.

From an acting point of view, the cast definitely begin to gel together a lot better towards episode 5/6 and from then on, Season 2 is addictive viewing to say the least!

I won’t reveal what happens in the final episode of this series but I will guarantee you that having seen the final installment – you’ll be left screaming at the TV and gagging for more!
