Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The Complete First Season [Blu-ray]

Just watched epsoide 1 & 2 And LOVING it! great story! Great effects! Great actors!

Blu Ray version... Great Picture! Great Sound!

Worth Every cent!!!!

To me, this isn't Terminator. Where is the tension? The fun? The spookiness? Anything that really made Terminator great. In some like T2, the camera slows down some, music begins, the Terminator comes out, and Sarah is terrified. To me, that's well done. In the series, it's just boring old fights, nothing too exciting to see. Not blaming the show, but it seems like a lot of newer shows and movies has this "fast pace" action or something that it looks sped up, and not at normal speed. I hate that. Plus, why SO close to the action? It's too close to enjoy it. This is part of the reason there is "widescreen", to ENJOY more of the film, the action, the drama, anything. and now you have too many CLOSE fast shots of action, it's silly and dumb. I'm not really going to blame this show because of it, being I see it in other places too. Maybe it's the new "action" view or something.
If you want Terminator, get the classics. They may be corny in areas, but the suspense and fights, the plots were better!

love the movies have purchased them all on blu-ray too, and must say they did a great job on the first movie really well done, the other 2 were good as well but the first was older so good job, have not watched sarah connor on blu-ray yet i do own it and am looking forward to seeing the uncut episode i know the blu-ray will be great and as for the show i loved it the story is great and they kept the story right were the second movie left off really great i just hope the next movie is better than the third movie it was good just not as good as the first 2

This is a superbly-directly, excellently-produced program. Movie quality throughout... I was amazed at the quality and creativity of the show, which shows its high budget.

Lena Headey and Summer Glau are superb as thinking man's cheesecake, and not in a way that should turn women off from the show, even as it should drag men in. They bring genuine depth to their roles, in a way that's exceptionally rare in television. Even the supporting actors and actresses are well-cast and fleshed-out, balancing sci-fi action/danger with humanity and irony. It's hard to imagine the show without Summer Glau's elusive "humanity".

All that said, the mastering on the Blu-Ray collection is odd. The menus don't really work right, in the sense that you put a disk in, and it simply starts playing all 3-4 episodes from the beginning as if they're one big 3-hour thing. Yes, you can, if you try, find the top menu to select the individual episodes, but it's as if the folks creating the menus didn't understand the whole concept of separate episodes. The episodes are more like chapter stops.

The menus aren't really a problem.. as other reviewers have mentioned, the high-def picture is very good.. but you'll notice it. I don't really know what kind of person would resist buying a DVD collection because the episodes are somewhat difficult to navigate, but if that's you, you might want to think twice.
