[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

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
