"Going overboard here. Is she prettier than Linda, without a doubt. But come on folks, Linda IS Sarah Connor and everyone outside this wiki will probably agree ESPECIALLY after the crazy Sarah episodes.No it's not going overboard. It's all on opinion. If you think Linda is a better Sarah Connor then good for you. Just because people don't agree with that doesn't make them wrong or overboard. It doesn't matter if they're the minority, their opinion is still valid. I like Linda's Sarah. The movies rock and I wouldn't want anyone else in those movies. But I DO prefer Lena's portrayal better. Maybe it's because she's had the opportunity to really get into the character and show SO many different sides of Sarah that Linda didn't really have that opportunity. 7 out of 9 found this valuable.

I love Lena as Sarah. Can't think of many I would cast over her in this day and age. But to get the title you gotta really beat the champ in a clear victory. Lena is good, real good. but like a previous poster said, Big Shoes. My favorite little surprise in this series is Shirley Manson tho. Beauty like a tiger. Scary hot. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

" It doesn't matter if they're the minority, their opinion is still valid.Indeed. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It is valid but it doesn't always count. Here there is a big difference between the minority and majority. I'm talking Oprah big. Linda is the true Sarah Connor and I think over 90% would agree with me. Not in this wiki but terminator fans in general. But that has nothing to do with Lena. EVERY other actress would fail too because the role is that iconic. That is my humble opinion which is valid too. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

OMG!!! TentoTwenty. I was just thinking of putting up a lena appreciation thread but you beat me to it. I think this is well deserved and overdue for our lovely lena, she needs to get more credit for her role as sarah connor. For me personally she is the best linda hamilton by far, she has made that character her own and i agree i couldnt imagine anyone else playing this role. lena is the best, what else could i say.

Lena is the right actress for TSCC.She is as attractive as I could want for John's mother. She ably portrays the intensity required by the show's writing. She has a number of endearing expressions and mannerisms that sweeten her scenes and make me happy to see them. (I particularly liked her expression in What He Beheld after John said he wanted to go out for dinner on his birthday, no disrespect to her cooking.) She is not as buff as Linda Hamilton was in T2, but she seems to have no problems handling guns, and the writers haven't had her lifting heavy objects. Her fight with Winston in the van was quite credible to me. She conveys the combination of toughness and vulnerability that the writers want Sarah to show. The only thing I haven't really seen much of is Sarah's motherly love for John. The character is written as if she were on assignments and loving John was one of her assignments. There haven't been many true parent-child moments, but perhaps that is normal for somewhat-alienated teens like John. Not many hugs and kisses at this age, I guess. Of course, there is also not much romance. The closest we have seen was the times with Charley, in the pilot and later on when she told him he should move away after he helped patch up Derek. I think Lena could be passionate in romantic scenes, but I don't hold much hope for this in TSCC. Maybe in the ep where Charley helps then dies. Whether or not the character has evolved has been discussed on other threads. I agree that it is up to the writers, not Lena. No question we have seen her go through a lot this season. 3 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

"Lena is the right actress for TSCC.Anyone who doubts that Lena Headey is passionate AND gorgeous, need only to watch Aberdeen, or the unrated version of "The 300", if you're old enough. Linda Hamilton as an action heroine in T1 and T2, was simply amazing. Her mental breakdown scenes, though, are another story. When I go back and watch them now, it's like watching William Shatner play some of his over-the-top Shakespearean crap in ST: OS. Painful. Linda Hamilton, baring arms, bearing arms, in that black wife-beater T-shirt and/or flack jacket, was a middle aged man's fantasy. But Lena has picked up the torch, and she carries it well beyond my expectations. 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

I think Lena is perfect as Sarah. Different from Linda of course, but perfect all the same.

"Been surfing these boards and I'm seeing all the love for Summer Glau/ Cameron and that's all well and good. But we need some love for Lena. So here's her thread. If you love Lena and her awesome portrayal of Sarah Connor give a shout. She get's hotter every week. She's a dynamic actress and I feel that she's taking Sarah to another level. So share the love cause Lena rocks. "So here's a "Shout out" for Lena Headey doing a wise, and loving, kick ass Sarah !!!!!!!! I savor each Sarah scene, and I'm touched by her acting.

I believe that I read somewhere that Linda Hamilton was impressed with Lena's Sarah. Too lazy to do the research though.

"Going overboard here. Is she prettier than Linda, without a doubt. But come on folks, Linda IS Sarah Connor and everyone outside this wiki will probably agree ESPECIALLY after the crazy Sarah episodes.Hmmm...Prettier? I wouldn't kick either one out of the bed for eating crackers...take that to mean whatever you will. As far as "Crazy Sarah" goes? As a matter of personal preference, I lean more toward Linda's "Crazy Sarah" (The brooding thousand mile stare that bursts into action when the time calls for it, in a "I'll kill you, the gig is up and you're going down...Your arse ain't safe NO WHERE!!" kinda way) as opposed to the "You don't know me and I don't even know my own name anymore" version of Crazy Sarah. However, I'd like to point out that the differences in the versions are due to the writers, not the actresses. Do you find this valuable? |
