lena or linda?

[toxicshark]

my question is, who do you think is a better Sarah Connor, Lena Heady or Linda Hamilton?
personally i think that Lena heady is actually a better Sarah connor. sure Linda Hamilton was the original Sarah, but i really think lena is brilliant at bringing the character to life. you watch the show and you are watching a real tough mother. you are watching Sarah Connor. Lena is Sarah connor. it is not because Lena has had more screen time either. i don't want to take anything away from Linda Hamilton's performance in t1 and t2 (and t2-3d), but i just think Lena is more believable as the character. what do you all think?

I have to agree. For me Lena is Sarah Connor of this time. Linda is 1st generation SC, but I feel Lena adds more layers to the character than just looking pissed off and depressed.

I would have voted Linda in the beginning, but Lena just grew on me. Lena is the new Sarah Connor

[jimmyolsenblues]

this is not a fair question.
Lena Heady is a fine actress doing a good job.
I have had a major super crush like heart attack level on Linda Hamilton since 1984.
People even say my x-wife looks like Linda Hamilton and that is why I was attracted to her......

(I never said I was normal)...........

I think Linda Hamilton is still better. Lena's version just doesn't seem tough enough. She seems too wishy washy and indecisive. I like how insane Linda became. I think it was so believable what happened to her personality, what happened to her aggression and grasp on reality. She became militaristic and driven. It wasn't until the end of the first season that Lena actually hurt someone. I hope it starts a trend because she seems like a pacifist.

I like Linda she was the best for the part! Lena she sucks!

[RaifeBlakeVtM]

Yeah I think Lena is my preference. I liked Linda Hamilton in T1, not as much in T2, but I think Lena's been doing a very good job with the role thus far.

As much as I love Linda Hamilton, Lena is way more convincing as Sarah Connor.

Lena Headey, no contest.

It took me awhile to realize it, but I didn't really like Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor or Eddie Furlong as John Connor.

I know knowledge of Judgment Day would drive anyone crazy, but Sarah in T2 just came off as a psychotic, manic-depressive, hyper-commando. I wouldn't want to spend twenty-two episodes a year with her. Quite frankly, I just felt sorry for her more than anything else.

Lena, in my opinion, is brilliant. She makes you feel everything she's going through. Every time she has a close-up, there is so much going on in her face and eyes. She strikes me as being just tough enough without going over the top. She actually hits a perfect balance of commando and compassion. She's becoming one of my favorite female role models.

Also, her american accent is really good. Those voice overs are great. I hope we get back to them.

Lena Heady. No contest. Linda Hamilton was good for the character short term, but Lena is developing the character much better and over time, she'll have grown tremendously. Plus, Lena's much much hotter.

I like them both as Sarah Connor. I see them as two different versions of Sarah Connor, Linda done a amazing job with introducing the character to us in T1 and developing her in T2. Lena has taken the best of what Linda has done but at the same time made the character her own and if the show has more seasons she will develop Sarah more and better in the future. In my opinion though there is no such thing as the best actor in roles cause they all have different portrayals of the characters.

[EJT501]

I'd have to say Linda Hamilton because she is the original Sarah Connor but if she is number 1 then Lena is 1.1 but i think Lena is more Badass than Linda

[LuthorKent90]

Have to go with Lena.
