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:
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.
Amazing show, inaccurate ratings system 
2009-11-03 - This show is amazing and I was devastated when it was canned. I personally think the ratings system is not accurate because people who watch these types of shows usually don't participate is Neilson rating logs or Live+SD. But oh well, it ended nicely and we have the box sets to enjoy the show again and again.
I know it is probably hopeless but don't give up, maybe it can be returned to TV assuming miracles really do happen. This really reminded me of the time Dark Angel was canceled (and a hundred other shows that I adored which aired on FOX).
AS A SIDEBAR: For those of you who rate the show 1-star because it was canceled need to stop! You rate on the show itself and NOT the seller's slow shipping or because FOX is stupid!! Geeze!
Subtitle madness 
2009-11-02 - I really like this show, it's the best since the Terminator 2 movie. The only thing I don't understand is why the Blu-ray doesn't have portuguese subtitles, since Brazil and USA are in the same Blu-ray region (region A), on the other hand the DVD version of the same product has portuguese subtitles and remember that, unlike blu-ray, DVDs from USA and Brazil have different region numbers (1 and 4 respectively). I already noticed the same problem with Fringe and Smallville, I think that a blu-ray disc should have all the subtitles related to the region of the disc. Other than that I love this show, 5 stars.
A true fan's dream come true 
2009-10-28 - What is Terminator?
What is it about?
Seems like opinions about this questions differ heavily.
For me the Terminator Saga always was a story about Sarah Connor and her life that was changed back in 1984 and her alteration that won't mix up with our society.
Of coure there was action Arnold and of course Jim Cameron has the capability to mix both parts to a compelling movie above everyone else. This succeded two times with a bigger focus on the charakter part in the second movie.
This is where TTSCC comes in the game and it does it brilliant. The writers had a complex scheme of what they were about to acomplish whith the charakters that was only held of by some executives that wanted the "Terminator of the week" which was cool in some ways but got me bored and pleased that they kicked this kind of episodes aside.
The story is epic and extremely well written and the charakters are amazing. Special effects are good and loads of cameos to Camerons Terminator appear.
Since the decided to do a side story leaving the nice but expendable T3 aside you'll get the after T2 life in a very detailed way.
Who loves Terminator and the Charakters and wants to know what happend next to T2 and doesen't expect T4 in an action way gets maybe the best Sci-fi show that I have seen in a decade.
So sorry for Josh it was canceled
PS: Pls. excuse my grammar - this is a review from Germany
My favourite show hands down! 
2009-10-20 - This show was a pleasant surprise from start to finish. I have re-watched the entire series as it's a lot to remember, lots going on in all the 31 episodes. I personally found all 31 episodes to be brilliant, I would say Season 2 is a tincy better than Season 1. It's just for me, Season 2 is better because there is more, more action, more story. I was concerned going into this series that it would be a repeat of the quite tedious third installment of the franchise [Terminator 3] which was just action, no substance at all. I'm pleased to say this show isn't bang, bang, crash, bang, wallop like Terminator 3 is. I think people who aren't sure about checking out this series should give it a chance because I didn't think i'd like it but I've loved it from start to finish. I will say though in some episodes of Season 2 they were a tad slow but they were still really good episodes.
The finale didn't go well with me the first viewing as it all happenned all so quickly. Having re-watched the finale quite a few times now I do understand the finale a lot more and do like it a lot opposed to my original reaction [which was "That's it, come on"]. I do think it would be nice to see a third season but in my honest opinion I think it all wraps up nicely so.... if a third season doesn't happen i'm not completly angry about it. I do think it's a shame that the show has been cancelled because I don't watch TV really, there's nothing really any good on now and sarah connor was the only thing I watched every week that was very consistent.
I think what's amazing is that the show's quality is very consistent throughout. I love all the actors in it. British actress Lena Headey is amazing as Sarah connor in my opinion. All the others, Thomas Dekker, Summer glau, Richard T. Jones, Shirley Manson, Leven Rambin [Riley, yes, i do like her character un-like some people]. The only character I didn't like was Jeese, Derek's girlfriend. If no-one has watched the series, I suggest you walk away as I'm about to spoil something. Ok..... Jeese in my opinion shows her true colours in the last few episodes we see her. I found her to be a bitch to be honest and I'm glad Derek broke up with her as I think she deserved it after killing Riley. Cold cow [Jesse].
I liked the Riley character to be honest, I found her quirky [but in a good way] quote "I thought 'cos you were weird you would get me" [to John]. I love her humour, she's so funny in my opinion "They're too nice, they're aliens". I agree with that people can be honest and express what they feel but I personally don't see what lots of people say about her character, I think she's a great character. I do think the actress who played Jeese did a good job with the character at the end of the day, so.... I don't think i was supposed to like her given the actions she did later on. I didn't mind her originally, I think her character is brilliant in Episode 9[Complications] of Season 2 when she interrogates a person she thinks is Charles Fisher from the future. She really showcases the bad-ass side that Sarah connor has. Having said that, this trait lasts with Sarah throughout the entire season and not the same for Jesse. I think Sarah connor is a likable person in the series, you can see she's very emotional at times, she can kick ass too [which is great to see]. The special effects are surprisingly very good for a TV show, the plotlines are fantastic, the pace is brilliant and overall it's a real treat from start to finish [wish it didn't have to end but doesn't everything have to, lol].
All in all, It's a great show. Great blu-ray, it works on a PS3 [Europe/UK PS3] fine [I'm from the U.K., not from the U.S.]. I don't want to spoil anymore because some much goes on in the show and yup..... 5 stars all the way [well deserved imho].
