Everyone agrees it ’ll be problematic to make Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles stretch out over five or six years of Orcinus orca - robot - of - the - week sequence . Zap2It ’s Daniel Fienberg has asuggestion : Make it more like The Sopranos with killer automaton , a show about average , bed - up people endure with the constant awe of death . In that disembodied spirit , here are some potential storyline for Terminator : The Soprano Chronicles . No spoilers , unless you have n’t seen the first two episodes .
The porn instalment . I mean , come up on . John Connor is a teenage son . His mom has forbidden him to go near a computing machine , so he ca n’t just surf to NoodMortalKombat.com or whatever . He ’s not imagine to leave the planetary house without his bodyguard . Does he sneak away and attempt to slip some magazine ? Does he say Summer Glau to flash him ?
The therapy episode . One of the things that made The Sopranos so great was Tony ’s relationship with his Lorraine Braco ’s therapist . And judging from the first match of episodes , Sarah Connor really needs some hard-core Jungian therapy . Or peradventure Adlerian , we ’re not fussy . Could she find a therapist who ’d keep her secret and would n’t endeavor to have her commit ? She could bring Summer Glau and have her show off her cyber - snatch . Or maybe she ’d try on-line therapy . Or just order Summer Glau to be her therapist , which would be screaming . really , in instalment two , we already saw pinch of Summer becoming Sarah ’s therapist .
The hacking episode . So John Connor is n’t allowed to utilise a reckoner any more , which think of his 1337 hack skillz were out of date in 1999 . And now that he ’s jumped forward to 2007 , his skillz are even more out of date . We got a pretty firm breath of that when he did n’t know how to crystalize his web web browser cache in the center electronic computer storage . But what if it turns out his hacker abilities were part of why he becomes such a great leader in the futurity ? What if Sarah is actually thwarting his heroic destiny by essay to keep him safe ?
( Actually , that should be a theme of the show in oecumenical . perhaps she subconsciously desire to keep him from becoming that great next drawing card , so the robots will stop test to kill him . Something she could talk about in therapy . )
The gangster installment . Actually , the easiest way to make Connor like Sopranos is to have Sarah become even more of a criminal . We already saw that she has to keep take with gangstas to get fake IDs and other stuff and nonsense to help her stay underground . What if she finds , over clip , that she has to start function her own organized crime empire to remain one footstep forwards of the feds and the mingy metallic element bozo ? After all , crime conduct to more criminal offense . It ’s a downward - spiral thing . We visit it on an after - schoolhouse especial once . Struggling to manage Sarah ’s own law-breaking family be harder than dodging a Terminator ’s lousy objective . Which leads us to :
The betrayal installment . Sarah Connor should have a decent - sized supporting cast , with their own agenda and foibles . Not just the FBI agent and ex - fiance who are both obsessed with Sarah for different grounds , but temporary ally of Sarah ’s who will turn on her in a indorsement when their interests diverge . And hey , here ’s a thought . Now that we do it there are resistance fighters from the future hanging around in 2007 hanging African tea posters , it would be interesting to meet them . What if some of them have gone aboriginal ? adjudicate to give up on the competitiveness and enjoy the spoils of their succeeding noesis until the end ?
