Who's the better Sarah Connor?

Linda was believable both as the scared, innocent waitress thrown into the crazy and horrible circumstance of being chased by robots from the future and as the hardened female soldier who would be the mother of humanities leader and savior.

If she seems "unstable" it's because she's been living with this **** for a longtime and it's starting to get to her so when she becomes determined to break the cycle, she has the right idea but she's not thinking it through enough. Which is where her son comes in. The love of her son pulls her back from becoming the machine she wants to prevent from being created. Her coming so close to being like a Terminator runs parallel to the T-800 becoming more human.

Lena's version is not bad but I could never imagine her as ever having been the Sarah of first Terminator even when the show would do flashbacks.

Linda Hamilton might have been a wrong choice during T1 because of showbiz politics, but she definitely worked her ass of to earn that right in T2. Hats off to her.

Lena on the other hand is hawt... But I gotta stick with Linda because she really earned my respect when it came to her acting and how she became a macho woman.

Linda Hamilton, for sure. That's exactly why I actually prefer Linda in the movie, both movies.

That's too bad she didn't show up in the third film.

How was she a wrong choice? She was exactly what the part needed for who the character was at that point which was before she becomes the mother of John Connor.

Lena. Always thought she captured the essence of the character better, which sounds odd since she was the second person to take on the role.

I also think it has to do with her having alot more screen time than Linda ever did in both of the movies.

I meant all the politics of her being the "apple of the eye" for James Cameron which was said to have landed her the role.

But she did great in T2. :buttrock:
