[Cancelled] Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator Series)


Recommended Posts

The most watched program in America last night was a 90-minute edition of NBC's "Deal or No Deal." Meanwhile, you may want to say goodbye to one of last night's biggest losers "October Road." I really can't imagine the ABC drama getting another season with these embarrassing numbers.

ABC's "Dance War" again managed to edge out NBC's "American Gladiators" in the 90-minute reality battle at 8:00pm.

CBS' new comedy "Welcome to the Captain" lost over 700,000 viewers and scored almost identical results as a repeat of "How I Met Your Mother."

As FOX's "Prison Break" races towards its season climax, the ratings are going up and the gap between the show and its lead-out "Terminator" is getting smaller.

ABC:

8:00pm Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann (9.19 million)

9:31pm Notes From the Underbelly (4.30 million)

10:01pm October Road (4.02 million)

CBS:

8:00pm How I Met Your Mother ® (7.19 million)

8:30pm Welcome to the Captain (7.13 million)

9:00pm Two and a Half Men ® (11.94 million)

9:30pm The New Adventures of Old Christine (9.90 million)

10:00pm CSI: Miami ® (8.62 million)

NBC:

8:00pm American Gladiators (8.81 million)

9:30pm Deal or No Deal (13.09 million)

Fox:

8:00pm Prison Break (7.88 million)

9:00pm Terminator (8.34 million)

CW:

8:00pm Gossip Girl ® (1.24 million)

9:00pm Girlfriends (1.80 million)

Good episode..neat to see what happened to cause the events leading up to stuff in the movies

Yea, but it's all wrong. In the first movie Kyle Reese was there fighting when the Terminator came into the tunnel bunker. That's when he dropped the photo. But the other resistance fighters said that this time he had been called away before the Terminator arrived there.

The show isn't really following the movies that well, but I guess it doesn't matter. Still a good show by itself.

If you're looking for a cohesive timeline in something that involves time traveling robots, my guess is you won't find it ;)

Like SkyyPunk said, even the movies conflict each other, especially since the year the first movie took place was changed and the amount of time was never updated in the scripts.

That's true I suppose. Time is fluid.

Summer Glau is hoooooooot! :D

John Conner turned EMO? LOL!

anyway there was something I didn't get.. It was when Reese was dragged into that dark room.. what happened in there?

The world saved by an emo... And the 815 turbine to time travel... Whats next?. Oh Kyle looks like ****, even the sarah photo looks like crap. I didnt know the terminator tattoo their slaves and chan them into the floor and then play'em some music. Damn this show is destroyin every ep a lil more the terminator franchise. Worse, they are destroying me everthing I want to watch about terminator.

The gay squad back in time to save (again) the world. 2007, 1997. What the hell is this show. Im just following just to see the word "TERMINATED" instead of CANCELLED.

^ How do you know? :huh:

I thought he was gonna explain the time machine to him.

You are talking about a different room. He was asking about the room where the terminator brought him, with the music playing. Obviously he was tortured there because when he came back he was exhausted and couldn't do anything.

LOL @ episode

NBC's "Deal Or No Deal" soars to the top of the ratings chart on Monday night, beating the season finale of ABC's "Dance War" and giving lead-out "My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad" the required Nielsen muscle to beat FOX's "Terminator."

"Deal Or No Deal" pulled in almost 19 million viewers in its concluding moments. Who would have thought when this suitcase show premiered just before Christmas 2005 it would remain one of the most popular shows on television in its third season?

The season finale of "Prison Break" scored only 7.40 million viewers, well below its season average as well as last year's finale numbers. Meanwhile, the premiere of CW's "Girlicious" was underwhelming with fewer than 2 million people tuning in.

ABC:

8:00pm Dance War (9.15 million)

10:01pm October Road (4.42 million)

CBS:

8:00pm How I Met Your Mother ® (6.20 million)

Howie Mandell maybe a Cool guy, but I got tired of that Stupid guessing show after a year.

And that show isn't even in HD!!! :|

Sadly, I am losing interest in this show.

I don't think the plot or acting are that good man!

Very Very disappointed with this show I don't even know what the hell is going on Half of the time on this show!

Man, you make my head hurt.

First, what difference would DoND in HD make? There isn't anything to look at that needs to be in HD. Unless you are talking about the models, which, considering its you, I guess you are.

Losing interest? The last couple episodes have been the best yet.

The plot and acting aren't good? Didn't you tell me that that Tom Welling was a good actor? Everyone on this show so far is a better actor than Welling. The plot is whatever, not good but not terrible.

You don't know whats going on? Its pretty straightforward. They are trying to stop Skynet from being built.

Heres my theory:

they where chained in the house, then taken downstairs where they had a large amount of blood taken, which the terminators need to make there synthetic flesh, or for something else...it explains why they came back from the basement so weak, and why they would be tagged and then let go.

or maybe there searching for a specific blood type to save someone? someone they need to be alive to ensure the robots win?

if they are sending terminators to the past they a lot of blood for synthetic skin...so they cant just kill everyone.....

Well, I feel the EXACTLY the SAME WAY about you regard Smallville! :|

forgot something and cant edit now...

if they're taking a lot of blood from a lot of people, it shows that they're making a lot of synthetic flesh, to either send an army back in time, or something really big...

or maybe just sending them to the past as fast as they possibly can.

    • You literally have to do it on a desktop, which is incredibly annoying in our mobile-first world. What???
    • What part of "you can’t really depend on service providers to maintain features forever" is not clear enough?
    • Nope. That lack of surround sound capability (analog) won't fly with me. Sure, I use headphones most of the time, but still.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it by Steven Parker If you have been reading Neowin for any length of time, you may remember that I reviewed the Sound Blaster Audigy FX Pro back in April. I found it to be an excellent budget sound card, even though it lacked support for formats such as DTS over the included SPDIF port. Anyway, Creative reached out to me again asking if I was interested in reviewing the Sound Blaster AE-X. It is a card mainly targeted at headphone wearers, which I'll get into a bit later. Before we get underway, here is a disclaimer: Creative Labs provided a free sample without any review pre-approval. Here are the full specs of it: Creative Sound Blaster AE-X Dimensions: 179 x 126 x 18 mm Weight: 263g / 9.28 oz Platform: PCI-e DAC: ESS ES9039Q2M Connectivity Options Side: Rear: 1 x HD Audio Front Panel Connector, 1 x ⅛“ Headphone port, 1 x RCA Line-out (Left) port, 1 x RCA Line-out (Right) port, 1 x Coaxial SPDIF-out port, 1 x ⅛“ Mic in/Line-in port, 1 x TOSLINK SPDIF-in port Surround: No DNR / SNR: THD+N: 0.0001% Dynamic Range 130 dB Recording Resolution: PCM up to 32-bit / 192kHz (Stereo) Direct Mode: Line Out (Stereo): PCM up to 32-bit  384 kHz Coaxial SPDIF Out: PCM up to 24-bit 192.0 kHz Headphone Amp: PCM up to 32-bit / 384kHz (Stereo) Native DSD: DSD64, DSD128, DSD256 Output Impedance: 1Ω, Supported Headphone Impedance: 8–600Ω, IEM: 0.5Vrms, Low: 1.5Vrms, Mid: 3Vrms, High: 6Vrms, Maximum output power: 350mW @ 32Ω (High), Maximum output voltage: 6Vrms (High) Front Panel Headphone Amp: PCM up to 32-bit / 192kHz (Stereo) Native DSD: DSD64, DSD128 Output Impedance: 10Ω, Supported Headphone Impedance: 32–300Ω, Maximum output power: 40mW @ 32Ω, Maximum output voltage: 1.9Vrms ASIO: ASIO 2.3 Total Harmonic Distortion: THD+N: 0.0006% Dynamic Range: 114 dB Scout Mode: Yes EMI shielding: No (but it passed all the FCC emission tests) Operating temperature: 0–45°C Input Power: 12V⎓0.5A Warranty: 1 Year (MSRP) Price: $179.99 / £169.99 The Sound Blaster AE-X was announced at the end of May, and it becomes clear that it is mainly for headphone wearers. I should also note that the card does not support DDL/DTS encoding technology, but it is said to support decoding through the coaxial SPDIF port. I was able to test this working with the classic Windows Sound properties, but I could not get a DTS (decode) signal through my Logitech Z906, it defaulted to 3D sound whenever I played DTS content through Plex or Emby. In addition, this card only supports two channels (stereo) over the speakers. The surround support is limited to the Headphone Amp, so before I get underway, what we have here is a card mostly intended for headphone use, especially with its SPDIF In (Toslink) port where you could connect another device like a console. So what about the highlights of this card? The AE-X is powered by the ESS SABRE DAC (ES9039Q2M), which is capable of a 130 dB dynamic range. In addition, it supports 32-bit/384 kHz playback for deeper detail and clarity. The headphone amplifier delivers up to 350 mW @ 32Ω, which admittedly far surpasses standard onboard audio, offering support for studio-grade headphones. DSD256 and ASIO 2.3 are also supported. What doesn't it have? No support for What-U-Hear, Super X-Fi, or the SmartComms Kit No EMI shielding, but it passed all the FCC emission tests (from the FAQ) I also want to make it clear that I am no audiophile. For me, it's purely subjective and it should just "work" out of the box. First impressions As I said in the introduction, I was a bit sad to see that the AE-X only supports stereo output, meaning it would not be on par with my ALC1220 over my speakers, as I mentioned it seems like this card is marketed toward headphone users. Since I am not an avid gamer that would rule me out as a potential customer, but I can still test its capabilities! The card arrived in a nice-looking box, as shown above. It's quite a bit larger than the Audify FX Pro that I reviewed back in April, and at first I thought the covering meant that it was EMI shielded, but it isn't as mentioned above in the highlights section. What's in the box: 1 x Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe card 1 x 3.5 mm CTIA TRRS to Dual TRS Headset Splitter Cable 1 x Quick Start Guide Aside from the Quick Start Guide, which someone at my age (I guess) needs a magnifying glass to read thanks to the tiny fonts, Creative Labs also has the manual online, which first requires you to prove that you're human in order to access it (so I can't direct link it). Anyway, the box is mostly made up of cardboard, and the only plastic in it is the anti-static bag for the card itself. Design Top Bottom The card itself looks pretty cool and actually wouldn't look out of place in an all-white build. There's only one connector, and for some reason it is awkwardly placed on the side (front-facing) that is for the front panel audio connector, which will let you use the headphones through the front PC audio jack. Since the front panel Headphone Amp has fewer capabilities than the rear headphone port, I decided not to use it. Rear of card PCI-e interface The rear of the card is completely open and is normally where you would find the front panel connector. The PCIe interface side is completely covered, which initially made me think it was EMI shielded. I/O panel Side (front-facing) with Front panel connector On the outer rear bracket side we have the TOSLINK SPDIF in, Coaxial SPDIF out, RCA line out (Right), RCA line out (Left), Headphone out, and Mic/Line in ports. On the front facing portion of the card itself is the F-panel connector. Usage Test System Our test system consists of the following: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Gigabyte X870E AORUS MASTER (BIOS F12) Corsair RM1000x (2024) Thermal Grizzly Kyronaut (33x33x0,2mm) 2x 32GB Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 6000MT/s CL36-38-38-80 T-Force Z540 2TB (PCIe Gen5) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition (NVIDIA) Creative Sound Blaster AE-X Windows 11 25H2 Pro I installed the card into the Gigabyte X870E AORUS MASTER which includes the RealTek ALC1220 onboard audio. For our subjective listening tests, I used the Coaxial SPDIF port to my Logitech Z906 speakers. For headphone tests I used the OneOdio Studio Max 2 Wireless DJ Headphones that I reviewed last month. After installing the audio driver, I installed Creative Nexus, which is a relatively new app designed for the latest Sound Blaster cards. Then I discovered the AE-X needed both a driver update from 1.00.15.0001 to 1.01.09.000 and a firmware update from 1.00.06.0000 to 1.00.06.0002, then I was set to go. It should be noted that the card did not work without the driver (not Plug and Play). As you can see above, you can manage the firmware, driver, and inputs via Advanced Settings on the Device tab. By default Nexus enabled "Direct Mode". Upon clicking on Acoustic Engine, the Equalizer can be enabled and set to four different presets, which are: Gaming Music Movies Footsteps Enhancer There's also a dedicated Scout Mode for gamers. I mainly used Tidal and Spotify in the past week to listen to some of my Liked Songs (which now total over 700) in Shuffle mode; there were no pops or interference that I could hear. I also found a 5.1 Surround Music playlist on Tidal that sounded really great over Studio Max 2 headphones. When I reviewed the Audigy FX Pro, I went out and purchased a Logitech Z906 set second-hand for €100 specifically to use with the card, but in this instance all I could get on the AE-X was the 3D output of surround sound through Coaxial SPDIF and although it still sounded great, it isn't quite as good as DTS Interactive via my onboard Realtek ALC1220. Conclusion So what have I learned? The AE-X lacks multi-channel support for 5.1/7.1 setups and drops support for modern surround technologies like Dolby or DTS, functioning strictly as a stereo output device. So to really benefit, you will need Studio-grade headphones to "hear" the benefits of this card. With that being said, I can imagine it will appeal to gamers who are switching between console and PC. By utilizing the SPDIF in port, you could just plug your headphones into the AE-X (front or rear port) and then switch between PC and Console without having to move the headphones to a different port. As I said in the Sound Blaster Audigy review, the EQ in the Creative Nexus app offers safe presets, which allows a user to further tweak the lows, mids, and highs for a personal listening experience. Of course it all depends on the headphones you hook up to it. Speaking of headphones, I kind of wish I had higher-quality Studio-grade headphones to really test this card with; I'm not usually wearing headphones in my day to day duties. The only time I will wear them is if I want to listen to music very late at night and I don't want to disturb my neighbors, so my rating (verdict) is based on this fact. Someone with a PC/Console setup and wears headphone religiously to game, and consume media will benefit much more than I from the high-quality Headphone Amps that are included in the AE-X. Once again, I do feel like Creative could have gone the extra mile to support the S/PDIF port a bit more. Why include it if you're not supporting the main popular digital formats? It seems like the decision was more of a legacy-based one, offering uncompressed 2-channel PCM audio, for users with high-fidelity audio systems and external DACs. Maybe I will be lucky enough to review a card that truly includes all these features in the future. I am sure readers with far more knowledge on audio systems than me will correct me in the comments below. I'll just say I am happy to learn what I don't know! Where to buy The Sound Blaster AE-X is available to purchase now in preorder for $179.99 on the U.S. Creative website, or for £169.99 on the Creative UK website and will start shipping to customers from June 25.
