[Cancelled] Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator Series)


Recommended Posts

One thing that bothers me about this show is that bullets inflict no actual damage on the Terminators at all. Basically, they might as well be spitting at them. In the movies, they slowed them down a bit. I hope to see a second season though with more action.

Just got finished watching the last two, thought they were really quite good.

Looking forward to a second series. :D

From what I remember, of at least the second one, the other two are rather blurry in my memory.

Arny, which is what the models we see in the show are basically based off, was never slowed down by bullets at all, when he was protecting John near the beginning, when he was taking out police officers near the end, he just kept going.

What the bullets did slow down were the more advanced terminators as they had to regenerate while being shot.

Many of you have been asking about the fate of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, so I'm happy to report that barring any apocalyptic shifts at the Fox network, Terminator is very likely to return in the fall.

Now, the official word from the network is, "No word yet regarding season two. Fox usually announces returning shows in May around upfronts." However, in addition to some scuttlebutt that came our way yesterday saying production is set to resume in mid to late June, star Thomas Dekker told me at last night's American Idol party he was feeling pretty good and is "pretty sure" the new season will happen.

According to Dekker, the producers are currently pitching second-season stories to the network.

When asked if he gets sick of people asking whether or not John and Cameron will have a romance, Dekker laughed and said he actually likes it! He thinks the idea of a human and a robot having that sort of relationship is interesting and cool and added that fans should "wait until the second season, because some really great stuff is planned?all those questions will be answered!" And yes, that's a direct quote?he was speaking as if season two were already a done deal.

Thats great news.

Its a good show and they do have to allocate a decent time slot in order to gain a audience instead of the ridiculous ways they have a show on two weeks, aint happy with the ratings and move it elsewhere.

How are ppl supposed to get into a show when this happens.

Jericho is a good example of this

Network execs should have some explaining to do

I'm sure it will be back, its another good series for Fox, it might not be amazing in the ratings but its enough to warrant them milk it for all its worth and I'm ok with that. As long as the writers can keep up.

I really love the whole time paradox they have, I like a lot that they are giving more background information on the Reese's. Also cool to see how Derek is taking a bit of a fatherly role for him too. I didn't think Brain Austin Green would work out well in the show but he's convinced me, I think he plays the role great.

Only thing I didn't like about this season was the lack of action scenes, they seemed to have blown all their budget on the first few episodes because the rest of the time they only do they lead up and then switch to a lame camera angle where you don't see anything (in the pool) or just switch to the next scene. Granted the pool part was pretty funny, I'd rather see some Terminator action. And those who didn't like the finale need to remember when that episode was made it wasn't meant to be the finale it just ended up that way due to the strike, nonetheless I thought it was a good way to end the season. John best get his hands off my sexbot. Summer is all mine, I wonder if being a stalker pays well...

lame camera angle where you don't see anything (in the pool)

Really? I thought that was actually quite clever. The ending was a bit stupid tho

As we all know that Terminators can survive an explosion with no problems at all so there's really no suspense at all

bullets only slowed down the 2nd Gen terminators, the liquid metal ones, and they didnt slow them down much...

Well, it would certainly help the drama/action scenes a bit if it at least looked like some damage was being inflicted. I mean, if it was pretty pointless to shoot the Terminators with conventional weaponry, then there is no point wasting time firing it at them. Time would be better spent escaping.

hmm true, I have wondered whist watching this series why they even bother to shoot the terminators at all with normal weapons. In the one set in the future where a reprogrammed terminator goes nuts they still attempt to take it down with a normal weapon, which of course does nothing.

Do you remember the episode when Cameron told Derek that sometimes the reprogrammed Terminators go bad and that they didn't know why? LOL! WTF would you allow nearly indestructible killing machines to roam freely in your bases with a "glitch" like that? Who in their right mind would be ok with that!? :p

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
