[Cancelled] Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator Series)


Recommended Posts

Would of been nice if they explained that, because I don't recall getting the memo for that. Lol.

Budious explained it all. :)

Anyways as for the last episode IT WAS THE BEST ONE SO FAR! I loved it, Summer was SO in character and it was just perfect! :D

As for canceling this show, hell no. Prison Break sucks balls more than TSCC! I loved the first season of PB, but after that it was crap!

Guess I wasn't paying attention. That was bothering me though, glad I know why they stopped doing that date thing though.

i love the new season of SCT it is damn good specially the season premiere episode and just the first 7 to 20mins was damn fine. this weeks episode was nice cause it showed more of summer galu acting skills . now i would imaging all them haters out there who siad SCT would never make it past the first couple episodes are now eating Dirt cause of how popular it is and how good the show really is.

If I had to choose between the two, I would definitely pick PB. The Terminator universe works in movies, not in TV shows. It would be no different than taking your favorite comic book character and making a TV show out of it... it just wouldn't be to its benefit. Well, maybe X-Men since that has such a huge variety of characters compared to the rest of the comic universe, but multiple seasons of, say, Batman? I don't think it could pull off the same quality production that the last two have produced. Instead you would probably see Joel Schumacher crap week in and out, but probably even worse. Still, this show is scraping for ideas to keep it going. A terminator losing its memory and staying at a halfway house? <insert fail pic>

Batman had 3 seasons in the 60's over a 7 year stretch and 120ish episodes and was hugely popular. If it had aired today it would probably be broken up into 6 or 7 seasons. Batman:The Animated Series had 5 seasons and multiple crossovers and stand alone movies. The Batman is on it's 5th season and still going strong. Batman works just fine as a TV show as did the Hulk (5 seasons) and Superman (George Reeves, Lois and Clark, Smallville, animation, ect there must be 50 some seasons of material). No reason why a comic book character can't work on TV.

Seriously, are you comparing live action with anime? Anime is totally different. And the show for 40+ years ago? Hardly a good example (nor would it even make it past the pilot were it to stay in its current form, thus making an invalid example). Again, you can't do it justice by making it a TV show. This show is a perfect example of it. "This week's adventure in Batman" would do it an injustice big time, as I believe Lois and Clark and Smallville have. The biggest reason why comic book characters wouldn't make it into a live action (and serious) show is because of the milking and poor story lines. Again, this show is a perfect example of why they should be made into live action movies.

Quite frankly I'm not a huge fan of Lois and Clark or Smallville nor the original Batman; the Hulk was and is quite good though. However it doesn't matter my own or your opinion. The masses have spoken. Comic book characters have in the past and will probably in the future do quite well on TV animated or live action. No reason why they shouldn't. A comic book is just episodic fiction, the same as TV or even radio was. I don't see poor storylines or even milking it. Is DC just milking the Joker and Batman at this point? Any reasonable person would have just put two in the chest and one in the head by now. The biggest hurdle with live action is special effects and technology is catching up.

'Prison Break' to be saved by 'Terminator' axe?

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has reportedly been blamed by Fox for adversely affecting Prison Break's dwindling US ratings.

"Audiences just aren't responding to the show," a Fox source told website SyFy Portal about Sarah Connor, which is screened at 8pm on Monday nights as a lead-in to the jailbreak drama. "Our biggest surprise is the 18-to-49s [demographic] - those numbers are in the toilet."

The insider added that Fox is likely to axe the Terminator spinoff during its current second season and attempt to salvage Prison Break in another timeslot.

"All I can say is that production will likely stop, and I would think that Fox might try to air some of the episodes already in the can," the source stated. "But I don't know. They don't want to lose Prison Break, so there could be some schedule shuffling in the future."

Fox better not axe Terminator just because Prison Break has past its peak!

My bad, Rappy already posted!

Promo for 2.05 looked good :)

It seems they are casting for 2.12 as well!

:p

It does look a good episode!

I wonder how long it will be until Ellis finds out that the woman he now works for it a terminator!

Look Prison Break was at it's prime a few years ago Fox has a habit of getting rid of good shows for shows that are not good. Terminator is way better then Prison Break. The reason why the shows rating are down is probally due to other shows on other networks shows like Heroes and it is on mondays so monday night football is also on. Fox needs to keep Treminator and axe Prison Break and not the other way around.

:p

about 1 second before she sticks the sharp point of her finger through his head.... its usually a bit of a give away i think ;)

Yeah I wonder tho if he will see her transform by the off chance then think he's doomed! :p

Oh man, I got suspended for my foul mouth so I've had to bite my tongue for some time now. I gotta say the last episode and the upcoming one were/look fantastic. I really like how they told the story about how Cameron got captured by John in the future as we already saw her in the future reprogrammed. In the next episode I like how you get to see how John becomes the super soldier Bale is going to be. After seeing T2 and T3 I never had a feeling John was qualified as a soldier, at least in this series he's young enough not to look like a sissy, no excuses for Nick Stahl however. Its nice to see them filling in some gaps in the story line between films. For while it seemed that they were just going to make up characters and events that had no relation to anything in the story line, just things that would make sense in the terminator world. I am curious what they plan on doing with Cameron's character as she seems to have taken on the other girl's personality. After all isn't the last thing she can remember her first mission? If that's the case I'm going to be pretty ****ed they are bringing back the "killer cameron" after what, two episodes? If she isn't then wtf was that whole episode about and how did she "fix" herself. Regardless I was plenty happy for more Summer screen time, she's been getting shafted so far this season. Shame it isn't by me ;)

As far as the cancelation goes, I think thats a bit extreme, why wouldn't they just swap the time slots and see if ratings improve. I don't think blaming another show is the problem. Prison Break has gone progressively downhill after Season 1, they should really blame the writers. Having said that though, I wouldn't say its entirely their problem, there's only so much you can do, it should have remained a mini series like Band of Brothers.

I wondered where you have been in this thread :p

Yea, I've been reading them and making my post in a text file lol. Its been killing me. I think its also worth mentioning Stargate Atlantis Season 5 was off to a slow start, but has gotten quite good in the last few episodes. Its understandable Terminator Season 2 would have a slower start especially with 20+ episodes. Canceling it before its mid season is dumb. Hopefully Fox isn't that stupid.

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu.
