[Cancelled] Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator Series)


Recommended Posts

HD Is the Future, Rappy!

So anyway, TV is getting better!

T:SCC is BACK Tonight.

Tomorrow night we have Fringe!!!

WOOT :woot: :woot:

Yep I know I just haven't got a hd player yet :p but I do have an hd telly!

I won't be watching the premiere :s I don't have an HDTV, so I'll wait until someone friendly "backs up" a copy to the interwebs so I can watch it in HD. However I will turn my tivo on to record it. Gotta give them ratings, make sure they don't cancel it on me.

It's BACK!!! :D

Argh, Stupid Song don't like that!!

WOW, this Season Premiere is Great!

It was good, but I didn't like the opening. 5 minutes worth of action slowed down to what felt like 20 minutes.

Also...

I liked when Cameron was telling Sarah "call to him...". IMO that scene really made the series feel like the movie.

Did anyone else feel like the it was painfully obvious that the executive chick was a Terminator? I realized that the first scene with her. Though I wasn't expecting her to be a T-1000.

Yeah, I was figuring she was.

I loved it when she started extending her finger out and then impaled the guy in the head like the one in T2

So now there's a T1000-like Terminator that, instead of hunting down John Connor, is involved in creating Skynet? And she has all the emotions and mannerisms that a human, unlike any previous models? Several plot holes in the story and the opening sequence was quite drawn out, and the guy asking the agent questions... why did he talk so funny?! :blink:

I think the previous season had more going than this episode did, so with that, I think I'm done watching it and will instead probably just read about what happens. At least Prison Break is more entertaining, but that's just me.

Great episode and a good start to the second season. I thought Shirley was a terminator, or had links to them, but feck me a T-1000

Then again great for the plot and season.

Whatever. Last season can't compare!

There is no need for her to hunt down John Connor with Cameron already doing that. BTW, the BIG plot of Terminator isn't just to kill John Connor, but to create Skynet!

ONLY thing I didn't like about last night was the Song, like I said. Horrible song choice!

Did week #2 of "Gossip Girl" live up to its strong season premiere? Was the return of "Sarah Connor" a success? And did FOX's "Prison Break" get better or worse after last week's dismal return? Monday night results are in.

Good news for The CW; not so good news for FOX. The 20th episode of the teen soap scored 3.16 million viewers, down from 3.38 million it lured to the netlet for last week's Hamptons-based premiere.

The episode was however 2nd best ever in key demos and it built its 18-49 audience from a year-ago telecast by as much as 45%. I'm sure Parents Television Council will be thrilled about that.

As for FOX's "Sarah Connor," the Terminator series was back with only 6.34 million viewers, down from 7.98 million it pulled in for the 2-hour 1st season finale on March 3.

The show did win its timeslot among adults 18-49. Will it do equally well when NBC's "Chuck" gets back into the prime time mix?

Finally, Terminator's lead-out "Prison Break" actually managed to build a little on these numbers and tie CBS sitcom repeats in adults 18-49.

But with only 6.48 million viewers tuning in, the show is still down a million from last year and down 3 million from season 1. This may indeed be the final year for "Prison Break", especially if "Fringe" and "Dollhouse" do well.

this was just a good way to start (they continue the way they ended the series)... The end of the ep was lame.

Was a surprise at least to me to see the Garbage singer on the series.

EDIT

I only wish they dont screw (even more) the terminator movies. Would

be great they head to something that have nothing to do with terminators but the way they find to survive (like was the last ep of the 1st season and the beginning of this ep).

Thank God they cut that emo (crap) lookin of John. Seems like they are going to the right way this time. I hope.

I was only shocked because Cameron didn't sneak the "We're gonna have a baby, John!" line with her plea not to be deactivated. What's with the terminators picking up faith and qouting scripture now this season, did the writers think "Oh wow, that works out nicely for the cylons in BSG, lets give it a try!"... seriously. I though the idea of a terminator model was to blend in, the Shirley Manson character with her eye shadow and skanky looks just tosses that out the window. I could go for a little less Sarah and John episode reconciliations... it's like Stan and Kyle discussing whatever moral ambiguities they learned from an episode of South Park feel to it.

    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more.

Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
