Binged on the first five episodes of The Sarah Connor Chronicles last night. Sometimes insomnia gives back.

General impressions?

I loved it. Loved the plot, loved John and Cameron and snarky Agent Ellison. I really loved Sarah and her Future is a Mother thing she's got going on. The little nods to the movies were a nice touch and happily not applied with too large a shovel. Action scenes made me jump. And the special effects were not too shabby either.

It has my favorite trope, the organic life (Humanity) vs. invented life (Replicant/Wintermute/Cylon) right to exist battle. I love a fed-up artificial lifeform story.

This terminator-verse seems ripe for some great plot-pickings. The dynamics between the Connor trio have all sorts of niches to explore. John's struggle with the Big Plate of Destiny he's been handed. Ellison's investigation looks to be taking him down a Mulderish career path. The T-SomethingElse model(s?) evolving into ally, foe or adversary of both sides?

So. Hooked.

Please don't cancel, Fox. You have an unfortunate history with sci-fi shows.
