Tim Guinee was only in the pilot. They replaced him with Dean Winters and re-shot his scenes for episode 101.

No!!!!!!!!!

I refuse to watch this show. :pinch:

If Skynet was smart it would just send itself and the Terminators back in time... easy work with no Connor interference. Not enough juice to do that, then send more than one Terminator to kill Connor. Some computer, you can take over the world but cant kill one person. Hell you can even kill the boy's mother's mother's mother. "Nip it in the bud" - Barney Fife "Nip it! Nip it! Nip it!"

The conundrum of time travel in this instance is... why go back while John Connor is alive? Why not go back and kill Sarah Conner as a baby? Or her parents? And so on and so forth :p

the farther they go down the family tree the higher the % of having adverse effects on the future would be.

Maybe those 2 will get it on :p

Nudity = Ratings!

lol If only this were on Sho rather than Fox.
I didn't mind it, and maybe watch a couple more episodes.

It wasn't bad, but it didn't have anything spectacular (other than Summer) about it either. I did enjoy the brief tie back to T2.

Anyone else catch the continuity issue set up by the series? I had to double check the dates, but I was pretty sure they

The events of "Terminator" happened in 1984, and T2 happened 10 years later which would be 1994. In T3, the events take place in 2004 (July 24). Which we know, at the end Judgment Day still happens.

When SCC starts they are in 1999. After the bank vault they go to 2007. That's three years after Judgment Day. :p

Are they pretending that T3 never happened? I wish I could.

I think (based around discussions when this was first anounced) that yes, they are ignoring T3. The T3 storyline will continue in the films though...

yeah, haha.

Although technically if some paradox theories are to be believed its impossible to change the timeline in any way, they could send back zillions of terminators and somehow something would prevent them from killing him/changing the timeline, this is shown in the first/second film how sending back the terminator ends up creating itself and sending back Reece ends up creating John.

I'm looking forward to this on virgin 1, tho yet again the UK has to wait months for it. I really don't understand why they still do this given how rampant TV piracy is.

But machines wouldn't care. They're going back to kill John Connor, right? Why not doing it more effectively by catching Sarah Connor as a young girl? Meh, it's not a big deal really, just one of those things that are overlooked and really don't matter, unless the person is all about consistency and taking all possible angles.

First off all how the heck would something like that get leaked already?

Second why the heck would he build it and why would the machines try to kill him. It would only prevent them from ever being built in the first place. :huh:

That's like a double WTF.

Also it does not make sense unless you completely forget about the third movie.

Thats because it didn't leak from the series. It is in the books that were published around when T3 came out. If I remember correctly, he wanted to build it as an anti-machine network, because Judgement Day is inevitable, as he knows. It becomes Skynet.

Very simple to answer your other question: Skynet gets built no matter what. The machines figure if they kill John, someone else will build. Whether its the original creator, or the government, or someone else entirely.

But machines wouldn't care. They're going back to kill John Connor, right? Why not doing it more effectively by catching Sarah Connor as a young girl? Meh, it's not a big deal really, just one of those things that are overlooked and really don't matter, unless the person is all about consistency and taking all possible angles.

Going back to kill Sarah before John's birth is Terminator 1.

I know, but the question is, why go to a time when she can fight? Why not go further back to when she was a child? When her parents were kids? And so on and so forth. It's not worth the discussion and just like with Heroes, there are certain elements that can be overlooked for the sake of enjoying what you're seeing.

Hopefully Virgin 1 will go widescreen before this is broadcast (HD wouldn't be bad either - at least on VOD if not broadcast)...

Well, as much as I want to say I hate it to you guys, I can't. But I do think it wasn't thought out very well. Especially the time travel bit, which almost ruined it for me.

I usually don't even watch the networks, so this is rare for me. Of course, no commercials for me, I just DVR it and skip the annoying things.

I'm curious to see what the ratings were, inside I hope they were bad so they will cancel it, so I won't have to watch anymore, lol. But outside I'll say that I'll keep an eye on it.

Ratings are in!

Led by the prime-time portion of the Giants versus the Cowboys on the NFL Playoffs (which was beneficial to the series-premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Fox steamrolled past the Sunday competition. The NFL Playoffs averaged an approximate 37.27 million viewers and a 14.5 rating/36 share among adults 18-49 from 7-8 p.m., leading into the debut of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles at a hefty 18.29 million viewers and a 7.6/18 in the demo from 8-9 p.m. Needless to say, Fox dominated from 7-9 p.m. Next was Family Guy at an above-average 11.50 million viewers (#3) and a first-place 5.6/12 among adults 18-49 at 9 p.m., followed by American Dad at 8.56 million viewers (#3) and a 4.1/ 9 in the demo (#2) at 9:30 p.m.

You know that sounds good but don't forget Bionic Woman also launched to double figures and see where that went.

Bionic Woman was also terrible, and didn't have 24's timeslot. And it doesn't have a pairing with Prison Break for four weeks.

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

It supports a wide range of subtitle formats, including SRT, ****, and SUB, allowing users to easily modify and adjust subtitles for accurate timing and formatting. With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different formats!) Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.

      At least AMD is still taking Windows 10 seriously (after the oops) before it consumer extended support ends. @WaltC - Memories, 2x Voodoo in SLI with a Riva TNT with an Aureal A3D soundcard.
