Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles * SPOILER WARNING!*.

I haven't watched the new ep yet, but from what I am reading maybe I should just skip it.

Anyways, it is good to hear that the show will pick up for the rest of the season. Just like Knight Rider, this show should have never pretended to be something it isn't. If everyone expects it to be a 'terminator of the week' big explosions show, they DAMN WELL better deliver to keep all the casual fans happy. In the mean time, they can weave in long term ideas and character development. In season 1, the show accomplished that, and is why I liked it. They have gotten away from that this year, and it has been a snoozefest.

Like I said, I hope these next 6 live up to my newly heightened expectations.

BobA:
Looks like guns and Summer Glau are back.

Trailer for last 6 episodes.      Link io9.SF

DaOld Man:
Looks very promising.

If these next episodes turn out to be flops they need to fire the writers and hire new ones.

When that happens those writers are usually for a different show.  This show looks like it would be great on cable but isn't all that good for network.

Cable has awesome character driven, well written shows. The mere fact that AMC of all channels can produce a show that spanks the networks ass in awards shows EXACTLY what the networks are doing wrong. You have to remember that Mad Men was passed on by the big boys in favor of reality shows and crime dramas. Not to mention they have Breaking Bad too.


USA also has awesome shows. These stations have smaller budgets, and smaller ratings expectations. They can't rely on big budget, big name, and big network - all to push off a ---smurfy--- show on the unsuspecting public.


And yes, I am still pissed that Firefly and Jericho were not picked up by a cable network. Both shows were PERFECT for the cable network formula.
