So bad it makes you appreciate T3

Who would believe it ? Enduring just two episodes of Terminator : "Made for Teens and Juveniles" The Sarah Connor Chronicles made me see and evaluate positive points of T3 have over this train wreck. OK I admit it is not a long list but come on ! I am not expecting a big budget production from a TV series but whole story/plot , dialogue and acting is just bad. Different models of T-800 model terminators in each episode ( be ready to see some of them as old ladies or little kids ) , Terminators can't shoot a target in range of two meters , protective Terminator as young hot chick ( guess who is the target audience for this TV show ? ) , Terminators who use super intelligent remarks like "Class Dismissed" , "Neat trick huh ?" , emo wannabe John Connor who insists in not growing up , inconsistencies with T2 which this series which are so much it is almost impossible to list ,they are so many. Oh have I mentioned that I found music awful ? After listening magnificent opening and closing themes of T2 : Judgement Day , listening trash piece during "action(!)" scenes of this show makes me weep ! Just that music tells you there is no edge or suspense in next scene...

Seriously this is a TV show what can you expect ? My only hope is its cancellation soon !
