Direct to DVD TSCC Movie in our Future?

Thomas Dekker was our first. On-set interview that is.

Which is why ? aside from starring in one of the most criminally under-appreciated television shows in recent memory ? we?ll always have a soft spot for the TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES star.

And, why this TV Addict took it upon himself to brave the horde of 50,000 strong that converged upon Toronto?s Annual FanExpo over the weekend to provide fans of the show with some much needed closure. And, as luck would have it, a little hope ? courtesy of the always classy and candid Dekker (Who was on hand to promote the slasher flick Laid to Rest) and was more than happy to take a few minutes to reflect upon his now infamous YouTube video, the one thing he would have changed about the series and of course, what was in store for Connor and Co. had the proverbial powers that be not put the kibosh on a third season of Sarah Connor?s CThe TV Addict: How do you feel about being here in Toronto right now instead of the Warner Bros. lot shooting season three of the show?he show?

Thomas Dekker: I definitely miss the show a lot. In fact, it sort of catches me off guard how much I miss the show sometimes. I really miss the people I got to work with everyday and the environment of knowing where you were working on a daily basis. And of course, the story. I loved the story and I knew where the third season was going and I thought it was just so cool. I love that Josh [Executive Producer Josh Friedman] had the balls to make everybody kind of wait, and be patient. Unfortunately I guess people really weren?t that willing to Since you brought it up, just how cool was season three going to be?ing to be?

I?ve divulged too much in the past [so I have to be careful as to not **** off Josh] but I mean it was going to be really interesting because there were questions in the future like is Sarah Connor at the age she would be in the future or is she already dead? I know which one that is, and it was the more interesting of the two to me. Plus what is she doing in the past? Also my sort of relationship with Allison and finding Cameron would play a large part in the season, do I go with the robot I know or do I go with the human that doesn?t know me? The fact that Danny Dyson became a very important part of it was also very exciting because it harkened back directly to Has there been any talk of continuing the story in a different form, a comic book perhaps? book perhaps?

They?ve spoken about doing a TV movie. Well, not a TV movie, but kind of like a direct-to-DVD movie [Think: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA's THE PLAN]. Obviously it?s difficult because the show is based on a movie and they just had one come out, so it?s kind of hard to make a movie with our show because everyone has kind of forgotten about us. But they?re hoping, at least when I spoke to [Producer] James Middleton that??When did you find out that TERMINATOR had been officially terminated?n officially terminated?

Obviously we?d seen the ratings and we had an inkling about it. But it was tricky, because the show was so popular overseas. In the end, it really came down to DOLLHOUSE or us and that was sort of what happened. I think we were too expensive and So pretty much your salary cost us another season?!st us another season?!

[Laughs] It wasn?t my salary let me tell you that much! But I think that it ultimWhere were you when you found out?were you when you found out?

I ultimately found out while I was shooting Nightmare on Elm Street, I got a text from Josh that was typically Josh, ?Show?s canceWhat inspired you to take to the internet and post a video on YouTube video (see above)?ideo on YouTube video (see above)?

I was in Chicago doing the movie and we were shooting nightshifts. Having just woken up, I was surfing the net just to see how people were reacting to the show and I found myself really touched by videos, blogs and all these things that random people of all ages and groups had done to try and save the show. It was nice to get the affirmation that people wanted more of something we worked so hard on. So I just kind of thought it would be funny of me to ask FOX to give me my job for another year. I really just wanted to make something to let them [the fans] know that we knew they were trying and we appreciated it and appreciate them. The best part was that a lot of people though that I was drunk, stoned or f*cked up. Which tends to happen a lot of my stuff. I can assure you, I have many moments of non-sobriety but that wasn?t one of them. It?s actually really funny that I sort of come ofLooking back, to you have a favourite episode?back, to you have a favourite episode?

I?d say the bit that really just summed up the whole show to me was the ending montage of ?Adam Raised a Cain,? where it?s the song that little Savannah Weaver was singing with John Henry, and they?re burying Derek and Sarah?s been arrested. i just think that that is a testament to the beauty of the show. It was a piece that was so poetic to me and one that you don?t normally see in a sci fi television vehicle. Moments like that made me very proud. AIs there anything, be it a performance or an episode, that you would love the ability to travel back in time and change?ld love the ability to travel back in time and change?

I wish I wasn?t so fat by the end of the season. But other than that, no. You know, I think all of us are pretty satisfied and proud. Even the episode that got kind of dissed or whatever, like the 20?s episode [self Made Man], which was more experiGarret Dillahunt is on what seems to be 15 different shows this fall, Summer [Glau] has jumped to Joss Whedon?s DOLLHOUSE, what?s next for you? jumped to Joss Whedon?s DOLLHOUSE, what?s next for you?

I?m doing movies right now, which is nothing against TV, but I?ve done a lot of TV and I?m really trying to branch out and I?m having a really good time with that. I did an indie called All About Evil, then Nightmare on Elm Street and next up is another indie that I start in two weeks but can?t disclose what it is yet. But it?s with a filmmaker that I?ve wanted to work with for my entire life, so I?m really excited. So yeah, I?m getting to do all this stuff, but it?s not the family like TERMINATOR. I miss the family.

Lena Headey has landed her next project, a pilot for HBO staring alongside Sean Bean and other names.

Yeah I saw that, but it doesn't really matter because a DVD movie would only take about a month or so to make. If the DVD sales of season two are good then there's a good chance that this DVD movie will happen.

Man, I just got over this TV series then see some news about a direct to DVD movie in future which I doubt will happen.

There's a good chance it could happen if the DVD's sell well which I expect they will.

I'll try to find the info that was posted a while back on the Twiki that showed the S2 dvd per-orders doing really good on Amazon, and it's the number one per-order in Japan. I'm pretty sure this movie will be made- Also a while back one of the writers let the fans know in the savethescc chat room that the WB is really excited about the per-orders.

Why are we just wanting a direct to movie Terminator: SCC, if we can get more!? :D Get another network to broadcast T:SCC, like SyFy or Th CW (their own network). :D

I think people are still going to keep trying to get the show pushed to a network, but if the DVD movie is made and sells well we might see another DVD movie made or it could be moved to a network.

I watched the first episode of season 1 of this the other day...it was ok, but the mum (sarah conner lol) really really annoyed me. I'm not sure I can deal with 2 seasons of her :angry:

Yes you can, continue watching, it gets better. Season one is the best, the start of Season 2 is good and the end of it is the best.

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
