As Sae slows down, I'm still chugging along. I think the main reason is because Sae enjoys other cross stitch projects, so she's conflicted between HAED and all the other patterns she wants to do. Myself, I have lots of things that I want to do but not other cross stitch patterns. So while I watch TV, I can't do all the other things I want to do anyway, so I have no problem getting on with HAED.

I'm onto a good page, quite a lot of big clumps so I'm happy and no longer depressed. Here's my progress:



As mentioned before, rather than all my posts sounding the same, ie "Chuggin' along, slowing down, staying ahead, etc", I'll blog about the TV shows that I watch while working on my HAED. Today's review is on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

This series follows events that occur in the timeline between the second and third Terminator movie. (Though I think there's some parallel universe, alternate reality thing, I'm not sure...) Sarah Connor and her son John have been hiding and running away from the Terminators sent from the future to kill John. John is very nearly killed by one but is saved by a young girl, who turns out to be a Terminator sent by the future John to save himself. John's had enough of running away and is determined to stop D-Day from happening. So now, Sarah, John and Cameron the ally Terminator are trying to trace the origins of SkyNet (the first computer that gained awareness) in order to destroy it. Joining them is another soldier from the future, John's uncle Derek Reese.

Sarah Connor Chronicles is now up to Season 2, with a very short first season due to the Writer's Strike in the US earlier this year. I really like this series, well obviously, else I wouldn't bother watching it. I've always liked all the Terminator movies, my favourite being Terminator 2. I watched the first movie when I was quite young, so I don't quite remember it. But the story is interesting. The only thing is, like all other time travel stories, you can't think too much about it, inevitably, there's tons of loopholes and confusion.

My favourite character is Cameron, the ally Terminator. She's meant to pretend to be John's sister but she has lots of trouble acting or understanding humans and she always says or does really funny things. And being a Terminator, she can annhiliate anyone and anything. There's parts in the show where her chip breaks and she turns against John, which makes it really interesting, cos you never know when she's going to flip out and annhiliate him.

So in conclusion, if you like action shows with tiny bits of sci-fi thrown in, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles is a good one to try.
