[Cancelled] Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator Series)


Recommended Posts

Quoted from digitalspy:-

Here's a couple of TSCC mentions from the FOX programming conference:

16:19 - Terminator vs. Dollhouse, “Terminator’s run is completed” “That’s it for Terminator“, “was not an either or with Dollhouse”

17:14 - Did show budget influence the cancellation of Terminator? “Cost was *a* factor”, “Ratings trendline wasn’t pointing in the right direction”, “We tried, but it’s time to move on”.

Even tho' it's been 99.99% definite for a while, was still quite sad to see it confirmed.

too bad to see one of my favourite shows ever gone, but at least it got the time to deliver a mindblowing finale, besides Fox decision to screw it up every way possible, moving it to fridays, etc

to quote Joss Whedon's Mal character "we've accomplished the impossible, and that makes us mighty"

meh as I say the show was complete garbage during the middle of season 2. Jessie and Riley ugh and then the crap with emo Sarah. It's not hard to see why the show lost viewers as quickly as it did, It did start to pickup towards the end (i.e the submarine episode onward) but it was to late.

Giving the show a full 22 episode season was the worst choice they made. Over here we have seasons that last 8 to 10 weeks which means every week has to be used to advance the plot rather than filling it with crappy filler episodes.

Great quote (Y)

Exact wording from the fox president:

[sarah Connor] has completed its run. I think it had a nice little run. It was a good show. It was not an either or [with Dollhouse]. We did see it tailing off a bit [in the ratings]. It had a nice creative core, but, ultimately, we made the bet on Dollhouse, so that's it for [sarah Connor]... We make no apologies. We gave it a lot of support and some consistent scheduling. We tried and thought it was time to move on.

i find it funny how it was an either or between dollhouse and scc yet dollhouse had to get an even smaller budget. good thing im not interested in any of there new shows

Yet Dollhouse has been told to half their budget.

To be honest the only show I liked on that network besides TSCC was Fringe, and I'll find other ways to watch it then to watch Fox TV. None of there new shows look any good- Syfy and ABC seems to be where the new scifi shows are.

Ah poop. I kind of expected this as much as I didn't want to. Still have hope it will resurrect someway, somehow. I am glad they picked Dollhouse at least. While I liked Terminator better Dollhouse was a great show and I'm glad it'll be coming back. 2 Seasons is better than none. At least they didn't pick up Shovin' Buddies or Cross-armed Opposites ;) You'd have to see Family Guy this weekend to get that lol.

In the words of Ray from Trailer Park Boys, "****in' Way She Goes"

the quick fact in the decision seems that fox makes and produces dollhouse, where tscc was produced by wb, so the dvd earnings would be less for fox, in simple things, it all comes down to money :ninja:

I guess people that watch mediocre television now outweigh those that want genuinely good stories.

this show being canceled at this point in the the story sucks beyond belief, the least they could have done is given them one last full season to complete the story, this makes me not want to go see the movie or its 2 planned sequals.

and to think i was going to buy a $500 lifesize bust of a t-800 today, guess im not gonna do that either, EFF YOU FOX

It's official, they've cancelled the show :-(

Apparently, it's too costly to produce.

How on earth did "Chuck" get a renewal for season 3 and not SCC?

TERMINATED!

Because Chuck rocks and SCC, well.... I've already shared my opinions on it.

I'm hoping that a couple years down the road that we might see a novel written to finish and close the story. That's about all I expect that can happen to this series at this point.

It will go down as one of the best canceled Scifi Series of all time up there with firefly and battlestar 1980.

hmm not sure about that... it might have been good but it wasn't that exceptional

    • 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.
