[Cancelled] Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator Series)


Recommended Posts

Also, another thing struck me.

When Sarah asked Cameron why she thought John sent her back from the future, and seeing how the sub crewmen were calling her "that little metal bitch who follows Connor around" I thought...

What if John Connor had sent her to the past not just to protect younger John, but to protect Cameron from the increasingly hostile humans who wanted to put her out of commission for getting too involved in the resistance?

I'm thinking the same, everybody else probably is too.

It could even be as extreme as Connor dying at the hands of his men, who mutiny since he "trusts metal" and Cameron sends herself back to ensure that he lives with her in his past than die with her in the future.

I like the idea that Connor may actually be dead. But his idea lives on - he is a rallying cry for the resistance to fall behind. And a future Cameron (as his trusted aide) continues the idea that he is alive.

I mean, he supposedly is a recluse, nobody sees him, orders are relayed via Cameron, talking to Cameron is the "same as" talking to Connor...

Ends up, a Terminator is actually leading the resistance... "Who's running this war"?

Heck that T1000 in cold storage could have been a replacement for John.

Meh - just a daft idea.

Also, as soon as I saw that crate, I knew it would be a T1000. It was clearly sealed and cold, and so deep for a reason. As soon as they were opening it, I was like "Oh this will work well..."

Those are some nice ideas Anarcho. Problem with him being dead is the other guys say, that little metal bitch following him around, which would mean that he's been seen with her, and not in seclusion. Also they wouldn't be saying it in the first place had he not sent her back to live with him. That no doubt caused the chain reaction that led to her following him around constantly in the future.

I do like the idea of good Terminators based off the morality of John Henry, but I'm not convinced Weaver is good. For starters she killed that guy for disagreeing with her. If you remember Season 1, the another Terminator was sent back to obtain coltan and keep in safe because after judgement day it was extremely hard to come by. She's doing what he couldn't do. She seems to have no morals herself, saying "humans will disappoint you" indicating that their lives are expendable. While at the same time, when John was talking to Jesse, he was saying how machines are expendable. Besides if we remember where it all came from, John Henry is the birth of Skynet. All other leads have led back to him. So she's not so much creating a new good Terminator, she's creating the model of them all. That being said, I believe he's the model the others are based off of. We know they all contain a "learning" mode, maybe this is how it came to be. It's quite obvious he's very eager to learn while caring for human life and not at the same time.

My only concerns with John being dead is how it came to be. I don't believe Cameron would kill him, nor would a mutiny on such a target be able to say secret. But on the same note, it'd be impossible for him to send orders directly to other Terminators without it coming from one in the first place. Whether it's from him to her or from her to them, it's pretty easy to go both ways.

Regardless, it's nice that the writers have able to generate a nice discussion out of what might be. Let's hope they follow through with something good.

Yeah they are doing something right at least! :)

With John's death, if they go by the movies at all--in T3 The Terminator says that he kills him in the future, and his model was chosen due to the attachment he had to it when he was a boy and eased his infiltration. He also said later that John's children would become important.

in this timeline T3 didnt happen at all, it follows Cameron's movies :)

Ah I remember that when the show launched they said they were going to explain the years in between T2 and T3 with this show. Which is why Sarah is still alive and they're talking about how John has to be isolated to remain free from threat, which would explain how he was all alone in the beginning of T3. It's kind of weird if they ignore the correlation.

Yea I forgot that T3 technically hasn't happened yet or won't at all now that they've changed things so much. But they do take bits and pieces from it, Sarah dying from cancer is the first that comes to mind. I'd be a little annoyed if they went the route of him being dead. Most likely would mean they'd have to kill off Cameron which is unacceptable!

noooo cameron :(

Tho she could own Derek!

Yea I know lol, he best not hurt my summer. Might have to take him out and snag that Megan Fox while I'm at it :D

The John Henry bits were awesome! As was the guys in vans. How did that bloke have a 3D pic of the terminator on his phone thing? Also, can Camerons Terminator model possibly be identified though that?

Seems like the guy got the schematic from his boss on the phone, who identified his source as his "brother." This probably means they work for the other AI that infiltrated John Henry and downloaded his schematic.

OMG! GREATEST episode ever! :D The Van was legendary and John Henry hacked! :D

I think that the brother might be Cromartie. Maybe he inserted himself into the web before he was killed, so if something happened he could do this.

They really weren't lying when they said the last batch of episodes were amazing!

This better save the series!

I really hope that they do! If they can keep all of this excitement alive in 12-15 episodes next season, then why not bring then back?

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
