Editorial Review:
The time: today. The stakes: all our tomorrows. A nascent AI, assisted by droids, continues to edge toward world domination and the ruin of humankind. It accepts no limits. It fears no one. Except John Connor. The machines know John, now 16, is the future head of the resistance. They know he is growing in abilities. They must find and terminate him. But Sarah Connor is there, protecting and instructing her son as he becomes the man he’s destined to be. The hunt is on in a season of powerful revelations, breathless pursuits and bravura effects. A mysterious 3-dot symbol (do UFOs provide a clue?), a girlfriend for John (is Cameron jealous?), ZeiraCorp (can it master the renegade software called Turk?) – Season 2’s 5-disc action arsenal is locked, loaded, ready to amaze.
Description of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete Second Season [Blu-ray]:
Things blow up. Someone you think is a human turns out to be a shape-shifting Terminator. There are confusing forays through time and discussions about what happened when in which version of the past and/or future. But really, the second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles--unfortunately the final season of the series--is about family, connections, and the things we do to protect the ones we love. Sarah Connor (Lena Headey) has an especially rough road, nearly dying and becoming obsessed with a three-dot symbol and detours through a world of UFO obsessives. John Connor (Thomas Dekker), a.k.a. the guy who will grow up to lead humanity's resistance to the hated machines, gets tough and gets a girlfriend. His uncle Derek (Brian Austin Green) gets a girl as well, and the women in their lives turn out to have a surprising connection. Cameron (Summer Glau), the Terminator sent to protect John, suffers some damage and reveals some surprisingly human secrets of her own as her relationship with John gets more emotional and complicated. Shirley Manson (lead singer of Garbage) joins the cast as Catherine Weaver, an icy executive with… well, suffice it to say that a familiar (and threatening) face shows up in her company. The special features are extensive and include featurettes on the writing, effects, stunts, music and more. This is a fitting sendoff for an ambitious show. --Stephanie Reid-Simons
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete Second Season [Blu-ray] Reviews:
So help me God... 
2009-12-09 - ...if Fox cancels another one of my favorite shows, I will personally make a birdhouse out of every Fox executive's head and hang them all in my yard.
This was a great show. The special effects were almost as good, if not as good as a feature production. And you can tell great care went into the writing and continuity of the plot. My favorite character is Cromartie. Talk about creepy... this guy has a smile that will make the hair stand up on your neck. I'd venture to say this show was better than the last two movies combined. It had a hell of a lot more heart to it, and the aspect of humanity is explored so much deeper that probably all the Terminator movies.
The season culminates in the last episode with an ending that only makes you want more. Of course, this is bittersweet, because the a-holes at Fox would rather fill the airwaves with low budget crap like Cops and America's Most Wanted. I hate them so very deeply.
FOX [shakes fist] 
2009-12-06 - Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was a great show. If you haven't seen it and enjoy well-written, engaging science fiction, do yourself a favor and check it out.
On another note, FOX is the reason I literally do not watch FOX. They have aborted more promising material that most networks see in a decade. I'll purchase DVDs of their series after they've been renewed (it's how I caught this show, Dollhouse, and Fringe), but I utterly refuse to watch them while they're being broadcast.
Sad the season is over 
2009-11-25 - Excellent DVD and storyline. I have both seasons. It is a shame it has been canceled. Too intelligent for the "dumbed" down TV public.
This is just great! 
2009-11-15 - It's all said from the other fellow review writers, and I totally agree with them. One of the best shows ever, with a fantastic picture and sound quality and brilliant characters. And me too, I DO like it much better than Terminator Salvation and I deeply hope there will be another season... but why has the petition been closed?
Better than the last Terminator movie. 
2009-11-08 - 5 disks of fun. Much better than Terminator Salvation. I have watch all 5 disks twice and ready to watch again.
