Center
Primary
The series' central conflict, while rooted in the dangers of advanced technology, champions a solution based on individual agency, self-reliance, and direct action against an overwhelming system, aligning with right-leaning themes of personal responsibility and skepticism of institutions.
The series features a cast with visible diversity in supporting roles, though its main protagonists align with traditional portrayals. The narrative primarily focuses on its science fiction action themes without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.
Secondary
The show features Cameron Phillips, a Terminator, who frequently engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against multiple male human opponents and other male Terminators, demonstrating superior strength and combat programming.
The series primarily focuses on the fight against Skynet, featuring a core cast and their heterosexual relationships. There are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes present within the narrative of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles".
The series introduces new Terminator models and human characters, but no established character from previous Terminator films who was canonically male or female is portrayed as a different gender.
The series features established characters like Sarah and John Connor, who maintain their original race from previous films. All other significant characters introduced in the show are new and original to this installment, not race-swapped versions of prior canon characters.
