Discussion: Lena Headey vs Linda Hamilton

"I agree. L.H. did set the bar HIGH. She is Sarah Connor and no one IMHO can come close. It took me a while to warm up to Lena but I'm almost there, about 95% of the way. They do need to make her tougher. I understand her no longer smoking, trying to avoid cancer and stuff, but they need to build her up some more. But like I said, no one can top Linda."

"agreed with build her up more, they should start with the clothes. LH had paramilitary looking clothes while LH hmmmmmm both their initials r LH *insert F-word here*...... (yes i just realize that now)
any who, linda had paramilitary looking clothes while lena dresses to look pretty. its rather hard to take lena as seriously when ur busy looking @ her curves instead of her pistol.
another more difficult point would be linda could swear in the movie but i dont think lena can on a rated 14 (its rated 14 in canada, right?) tv show
in the show (this is probably not lena's fault) sarah looks and acts too emotional and so she loses her focus (like when she had that "not a date" with andy, she didnt even pay attention to the computer setup), her dialog also reflects that

any who, lena's a good actress but she's trying to measure up to the original, thats gotta be hard"

"o well.... hmmm that shut me up pretty good hahaha"

"Funny if she said that because James said he didnt want to be involved in T3 because he no longer owned it. When Linda divorced him she got the rights to the Terminator franchise which she then sold for a nice pile of cash.

Anyways. Linda is a better actress but Lena is doing ok."

"I think the slightly psycho Sarah Connor from T2 would not be good in a TV series on a weekly basis. Besides I think she was in a particular spot in T2 and people are wrong to think that that's how she would be well after those events.

Anyway I think this has little to do with who the better actress is and everything to do with people clinging to the original simply because it's the original.."

"Also making me want to blow up a building "

"in T-3, john was like mid 20s at least, how much longer would u want sarah to be the leader of him? i mean its only logical to make sarah disappear before the resistance begin its fight right?
schmacky is gonna poke holes in that logic =}"
