Where all movie franchises go to die: network TV. This half-hearted "parallel world" mythology story was never a success and died slowly over 2 seasons. It mostly was a boring "The Fugitive" kind-of story with some good action stunts and a strong Lena Headey, who is the best thing in the show. Luckily, the show was cancelled so she could go on playing Cersei Lannister on "Game on Thrones" instead. Sadly, the rest of the cast was either bland, terrible (John Connor) or forgettable (Sarah Connor's ex) and Summer Glau was miscast as a pin-up glam blow-up "Terminator" doll for fanboys who loved her in the Joss Whedon shows. Resorted to embarassing stunt casting at the start of 2nd season with Shirley Manson of art-popband Garbage arriving as a new Terminator. The most memorable in the show was seeing the good action stunts and Sonya Walger's appearance which I will not spoil. Forgettable and it also ends with a frustrating non-ending.
