[Cancelled] Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator Series)


Recommended Posts

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.

Are they pretending that T3 never happened?

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...

Some computer, you can take over the world but cant kill one person.

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.

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

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.

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.

...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.

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.

well, i saw the episode last night and i didnt find it very good. i dont know how long they are going to pull it off, i mean running and hiding from the same terminator in every episodes. i feel this show is going to get borning very fast.

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.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
