- Quotes
Jesse Flores: [Derek angrily confronts Jesse about Riley] Derek?
Derek Reese: Do you know who Billy Wisher is?
Jesse Flores: Who?
Derek Reese: No. No, you don't. Where you come from he doesn't exist, he never did. Billy Wisher was my best friend. He was in my squad, we fought together. We saw things you can't imagine. He was like my brother and I loved him. But, it turns out I never really - knew him. His real name was Andy Goode and back here in this world he created a computer program. The program that becomes Skynet. So, Andy Goode is dead. Billy Wisher is dead too. Because I killed him. I came back here and I killed him. He was my brother and I loved him and I killed him. I did it for Kyle - and John and I did it for you.
Jesse Flores: Derek.
Derek Reese: Shut up!
Jesse Flores: Please!
Derek Reese: Shut Up!
Jesse Flores: [Sobs] You have no idea! You have no idea what they took from us!
Derek Reese: Stop it! Just stop it! I don't even know you. I don't know who - you are.
Jesse Flores: I'm Jesse. I'm Jesse!
Derek Reese: Your not my Jesse. You never were. John Connor said to let you go. I am not John Connor.

- ConnectionsFeatured in Creating the Chronicles (2008)
The Sarah Connor Chronicles however evokes a feeling which was strangely lacking in T3. Excitement. The idea of ignoring the events of the third movie, which this series seems to be running with, seems a wise move. I enjoyed every moment of the pilot immensely.
Although a little sceptical before I watched the pilot, Lena Headey and Thomas Dekker are cast well as Sarah and John Connor. Initially I didn't believe either had the right look or attitude to play characters portrayed so well by Linda Hamilton and a young Edward Furlong. However I was gladly mistaken. Headly does Sarah Conner almost as well as Hamilton, a high praise if there ever was one, and Dekker plays the reluctant leader with credibility. I see both actors growing into their roles more with each new episode. The main highlight in my opinion was Summer Glau in her role as Cameron. She portrays her character with a grace and beautifully understated performance which is refreshing, and more believable and engaging than Kristanna Loken's performance in T3.
All and all, the pilot was a great beginning to the series with some nice surprises and a lot of action. It may have a few teething problems as all new shows do, but with a little bit of polish before it airs it will be a very strong beginning of a new journey for this classic franchise. Lets hope Fox shows some common sense for once and holds onto this one.
