Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (S1)

After such a huge disappointment with T3 : Rise of the Machines, I had my doubts about the success of this series. To completely honest with you, I had skipped the entire season believing it would be dropped within a year.

Last month however, I got word that a second season was underway and it caught my attention enough to warrant a DVD screening. By episode 3, “The Turk” I was completely hooked. For the next few hours I watched the rest of the series continuously until I had completed all nine episodes. Not only was Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles entertaining, it had to be one of the best sci-fi television series I had watched in years. It was so good in fact that I have already set aside time for the premiere of Season 2 which debuts later this evening on Fox.

If you haven’t checked this series out yet, I suggest you take some time to view all the full episodes on Fox on Demand. This series hasn’t disappointed me yet and has been worth my time so far. The casting is great, the character development excellent, and the plot engaging and suspenseful. If I must take the shallow route, just be sure to check out Lena Headey and Summer Glau. Talk about some serious eye candy. How can a mom who is under so much stress look so damn good? And even nuttier, How can a cyborg we know is a cyborg still be so damn sexy!! haha.

The Moment of Truth-Infidelity Episode

It’s a statement people should definitely adhere to, especially when appearing on a publicly broadcasted game show such as this one. “Some things are just better left unsaid.”

Lauren Cleri, 26, and rookie NYPD Officer Frank Cleri, 24, of Rockland County New York rolled the dice on the show which ultimately led to several painful questions involving Lauren’s infidelity. By the end of the evening, the couple left the show publicly embarrassed, with absolutely no prize money, and with a marriage completely in shambles.

According to the show’s executive producer Howard Schultz, Lauren had wanted out of the relationship by announcing the truth.

How the Giants will upset the Patriots

J_Tuck_013108_iaAlthough almost all the experts heavily favor the Patriots in Superbowl XLII, I believe the Giants have a huge opportunity to go down as the team who ruined the Patriots shot at perfection.

How can the Giant’s accomplish such a monumental task?

Defensively two things on defense need to be done if they are to stand a chance. The first thing they need to do is Blitz. I mean literally Blitz from everywhere. The Giants have a formidable pass rush and they must continually keep the pressure on Tom Brady. Sure its easier said than done against the Patriots tough O-line, but if Brady has too much time in the pocket, you can forget about any chances for a ring at all. For a chance at winning against this New England team, the first thing they have to do is disrupt the pass.

Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, and Michael Strahan are all above average pressure defenders and I expect nothing less but an all out assault on Brady and the football. If Strahan and Co. can land a couple nice sacks on Brady early and shake him up a bit, they will be in a good position for an upset.
