Two Sundays from now (January 13), Fox airs the first part of the pilot for its new show, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Part two airs the following night. The Sarah Connor Chronicles is set following the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and will show Sarah and her teenage son, John, trying to prevent the creation of Skynet. They're protected by a seriously advanced terminator model sent back from the future, and pursued by an FBI agent who's convinced Sarah's batshit crazy.
If it's done well, it sounds like it could be pretty cool. I'm excited, at least, about the cast. Sarah is played by Lena Headey, who was the awesomely hot queen in 300. I've only seen her in a couple other things, but in addition to being very easy on the eyes, she's also pretty good at the acting. I hope she can be as badass as Linda Hamilton was in T2. Thomas Dekker (Claire's friend, Zach, from the first season of Heroes) is playing John, the 15-year-old who grows up to lead the resistance. Joining them is Summer Glau (Firefly's River), who plays a terminator programmed to protect John. Hopefully, that means we'll get to see her kick some serious ass.
As cool as it looks, I'm hoping it's not too cool for Fox, the same network that brought us - and prematurely took away - Firefly in 2002. But, it's early for me to be fretting about that; let the fretting wait until a few episodes have aired and I decide whether or not I like it.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles pilot part one, Sunday, January 13, 8p EST, on Fox.

Lena's got great tats too. Will that make her tough enough? We'll see.
