[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.

    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
