The show has officially been confirmed for the entire season

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117994273.html?categoryid=14&cs=1

"Fox has just given a full-season order to “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.” Cast and crew were informed of the decision late Friday.

Back-nine order was far from certain; show has been struggling in its Monday night timeslot. But “Sarah Connor” has developed a fan base and some positive critical attention along the way."

I thought this week's episode was pretty good. Anyone else catch it yet?

ChadTower · « **Reply #42 on:** October 23, 2008, 09:25:55 am »

Was that ep6? I saw it last night. Seems to be gearing up for a slow developing plotline, which can be good, but only if we ever actually see the later stuff.

Hoopz · « **Reply #43 on:** October 23, 2008, 09:36:23 am »

I think it was 6. I've missed a couple though. And I agree about the slowly developing plot.

John working with the family psych. was good though.

Haven't watched the new ep yet. I'm not a fan of the way things are slowly developing. I think they need to re-evaluate their direction. I doubt the show will be back next season, so they should probably wrap things up with the time they have.

I would be completely happy if Fox told the creators that they gave them the whole season to complete the story since they don't have anything else for the timeslot, but that would be it (unless the show doubles in ratings).

It would be a win-win for everyone. The story quality would get better, there wouldn't be any filler, and we would get a definite resolution to the story, or maybe even a good lead-in to the movie. Maybe even a cameo or two for the films.

After seeing what they did with Jericho when given 7 definitive episodes to complete the story, and the way Lost has picked up with an end date, I think this would be a great idea.

I only saw the first episode of the second season a few days ago (we're about a month behind in the UK) so I've had to be very careful to avoid reading spoilers in this thread.

But skimming through, I've noticed a lot of negative comments. That surprises me because I thought the new series got off to a cracking start. Based on the first episode, it has the potential to even surpass the first series (which was the best thing to appear on TV for some time). And Summer Glau is as hot as ever (even when she turns bad).

Maybe thing will go downhill from now on but still.

shardian · « **Reply #46 on:** October 27, 2008, 09:08:52 am »

Saw the latest episode over the weekend. ::YAWN::

It had some interesting ideas, but I really don't care about the stories they are focusing on. I've kind of lost interest in this show, and even started to nod off near the end. The wife still thinks it is great, but I could quit watching it now and not feel like I was missing out.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #47 on:** November 04, 2008, 10:28:55 am »

Last night's show was pretty good I thought.
The close call with the terminator was good.

Hoopz · « **Reply #48 on:** November 04, 2008, 10:42:24 am »

I meant to post about last night's show but forgot.

I liked it also. I thought the first scene with former FBI agent Ellison was great (opening scene). It really got me interested in the episode like I hadn't been for a while.

Not trying to be cryptic, but I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't watched it yet.

shardian · « **Reply #49 on:** November 04, 2008, 11:08:40 am »

I haven't watched yet. Suppose I'll watch tonight or tommorrow since Chuck and Heroes don' appear to have been on.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #50 on:** November 11, 2008, 06:14:03 am »

Last nights episode rocked. I got home from work just in time to catch it all.

SirPeale · « **Reply #51 on:** November 11, 2008, 04:11:11 pm »

I was wondering how long it would take them to kill that dude.

shardian · « **Reply #52 on:** November 12, 2008, 08:23:01 am »

We watched the last 2 episodes last night. Both were very good! I DO NOT like Derek's girlfriend though. I really don't understand what is going on with her. There is still way too much water treading going on too - Derek's GF, the T1000, Ellison. Sure Ellison got involved the last 2 weeks, but now he's going back to cruise control mode.

Either way, this show grabbed me back from the brink of not caring to watch. Hopefully they can keep me interested.

ChadTower · « **Reply #53 on:** November 12, 2008, 09:00:10 am »

Heh, I did the same thing. I have a bad feeling we're going to find out that the female terminator chick is John's sex toy in the future.

My wife was thinking it was more along the lines of the human version of Cameron being John's lover. It kind of makes sense because of that episode where Cameron went crazy- so Cameron would have the memories of her human template. However after thinking about it, the human girl was only supposed to be a teenager. Either way - John Conner is a freak.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #55 on:** November 12, 2008, 09:03:11 pm »

I get the feeling john and the she bot will do the nasty.
When she went nuts, remember she said that she loved him, and he loved her.
But then again, the real girl that the she bot is mimicking might have been johns lover in the future.

I cant wait to see the new movie next year.
I heard it was going to be the first in a new trilogy.

SithMaster · « **Reply #56 on:** November 13, 2008, 10:35:36 am »

Ummmm interesting.

In Rise of the Machines wasn't the women he was running with supposed to be his wife?

DaOld Man · « **Reply #57 on:** November 14, 2008, 08:00:23 pm »

Yes, you are right.
But the time line may have been changed so he never meets his wife in that episode.
But yet, the she bot came from the future before the time line could have been changed, so you may have a valid point. (I have got myself confused again!)
Also, Sarah died of cancer before the ROTM, but she doesnt have it on this series.
She knows she was supposed to have it, but something changed it.
They havent fully explained that yet, unless I missed it.

I think she does have it, but they jumped several years into the future, so it hasn't showed itself yet. She has something like 5 years left to live.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #59 on:** November 16, 2008, 10:43:42 am »

I think you are right. I know on the episode where she ran through the radioactive waste room at the power plant, she was very afraid that would be what would cause it.

shardian · « **Reply #60 on:** November 16, 2008, 07:53:53 pm »

The producers of the show, and the producers of the new movies have publicly disowned the 3rd movie. Disregard anything from that movie, as it is not applicable.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #61 on:** November 17, 2008, 06:57:38 am »

I have mixed feelings about that.

I liked the third movie and thought it had some interesting story lines.

If Sarah is in the new movie, any chance the original Sarah will play her?
(Cant remember her real name right now.)

shardian · « **Reply #62 on:** November 17, 2008, 08:14:42 am »

I liked T3 the first time I saw it. We rewatched it again over the summer, and it was not very good on the 2nd viewing. Arnie's performance is what made the movie suck. Other than him, I liked it.

God, now that I try, I can't even remember if I even saw the damn movie. That doesn't speak well of how good it is.

I remember nearly everything about the Terminator show at Universal Studios, though. That was awesome.

That was the best theme park experience I have ever had I think. It was a total experience from top to bottom. Too bad it is gone now...

ChadTower · « **Reply #65 on:** November 17, 2008, 09:40:19 am »

It is? Dammit. What is in there now?

Twinpanther · « **Reply #66 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:44:15 am »

Huh, both Universal Hollywood and Orlando still show it on their website. I agree, one of my most memorable rides at Universal. If they were going to drop a ride I would hope it would be time for ET to go home. :Þ

shardian · « **Reply #67 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:45:55 am »

Yeah, I saw it was still there too, and Wikipedia says nothing of it getting the axe. Weird. I could have swore the conversation had popped up on this site about it closing down. Maybe they changed their minds?

ChadTower · « **Reply #68 on:** November 17, 2008, 10:59:48 am »

Back to the Future was the one getting chopped, IIRC, in favor of a Simpsons ride.

shardian · « **Reply #69 on:** November 17, 2008, 11:04:48 am »

The story I heard was that T2-3D would be getting the Axe to build a Transformers attraction. Apparently that never got past the rumor stage.

ChadTower · « **Reply #70 on:** November 17, 2008, 11:07:31 am »

Probably because the movie sucked ass and didn't make nearly the money they thought it would. Just a guess.

shardian · « **Reply #72 on:** November 17, 2008, 11:17:01 am »

Transformers was a huge commercial hit.

TOTAL LIFETIME GROSSES
Domestic:     $319,246,193      45.1%
+ Foreign:     $389,026,388      54.9%
= Worldwide:     $708,272,581

Budget: $150,000,000

That doesn't even mention the ridiculously good merchandise sales.

But not the near billion dollar cultural event they were banking on. They talked about that movie like it would be the start of a Harry Potter level franchise. It didn't even come close enough to be worth ripping out a high quality attraction for a better franchise.

SirPeale · « **Reply #74 on:** November 17, 2008, 11:23:33 am »

I am curious to see what Transformers 2 will pull in next summer.

Hoopz · « **Reply #75 on:** November 18, 2008, 09:57:23 am »

I thought last night's episode was probably better than last weeks. Enough intrigue and questions raised to make you wonder who is telling the truth.

SithMaster · « **Reply #76 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:27:27 am »

Sigh.

So they didn't kill the current Fisher because he might not become a traitor since he knows now. Then they go and toss him in an insanity ward (solitary confinement) thereby completing the part where he survives judgment day. Maybe he becomes bitter towards humans and decides to do what he did. This time he remembers Reese and kills him or something in the future thereby messing with the timeline again not to mention if he goes back in time again like his now dead self to implement that back door program.

That FBI agent is a jerkoff.

DaOld Man · « **Reply #77 on:** November 18, 2008, 05:08:22 pm »

The show is definitely getting better.
Reese was going to kill the younger Fisher, but the girl killed the old one first.
I still think not all is kosher with Reeses GF.
Remember, she also had photos of Sarah Conner in a past episode.
Speaking of photos, why does Ellison have the photo of Sarah and the dog, the one that supposedly got burned up in the very first movie?

shardian · « **Reply #78 on:** November 19, 2008, 08:09:10 am »

Great Episode. I'm glad I didn't give up on this show.

He did spend a whole lot of time tracking and investigating her as an FBI agent. Dudes like that have a hard time letting go of their cases.

Or maybe she is pregnant and the baby will be half black.
