Sarah Connor Chronicles Un-terminated?

I found an interesting link today: Sarah Connor Chronicles to Continue Late 2010 (http://www.fmqinc.com/sarah-connor-chronicles/). Needless to say, for a TSCC fan, it’s intriguing.

OK. The blog is from the infamous Lanie Grace–she being the first to blog about TSCC’s cancellation. That led to a lot of anger being tossed her way. However, being that she’s proven herself correct on that and other reveals, I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt on this (YMMV). She’s earned that much.

I want to excerpt, but being that I haven’t gotten the OK from her (this is Lanie’s scoop, after all) I’ll just sum up as best that I can.

LG is reporting that, in part due to the efforts of Terminatorwiki, T5 is on track and that the franchise suits want to revisit TSCC as a way of setting up the movie…like in a DVD season. The story itself will be pulled back from the internal angst of the characters and return to the machines vs human raison d’être of the franchise. It’s reported that based on the actors’ contracts, they can be pulled back for this project.

On a more personal note: apparently official notice has been taken of my little season 3 fanfic project. I’ve mentioned on many occasion that I was not aware of anyone connected with the franchise having read my continuing project. If LG is correct, then apparently, yeah…they’ve noticed.

So what does this mean for moi?

Darned if I know. I’m still writing the scripts and trying to make them as good as I can. Since I’ve had none, nada, nichts, zilch contact with terminator-connected peeps, anything I write that echoes what they have is purely coincidental. (Although, apparently, it’s uncannily close in some aspects. Yay, me.) Of course, if they want the connections to be less than coincidental and more professional…they know where to find me: just a few miles away from where the studios in Albuquerque are (heh…just turn left).

But, like I’ve said from the beginning. It’s my intent to take the project to the end. By my calculations, that should be sometime sometime in early 2010. Since the report doesn’t have TSCC production even starting until late 2010, I don’t have to worry about story cross-contamination.

But, in the end, the romantic in me wants to believe that a revival of TSCC is indeed in the works. As I’ve tried to show in my scripts, there is a lot of story that can be told with the foundation of the series. (I was asked why I started posting scripts before the public word on cancellation had been released: it was in the hope that the suits would recognize that TSCC could explode off the screen and maybe save it from TV death.) The whole purpose of all of this is to give good terminator stories back to the fans. That’s always been the goal, and I try never to let ego get in the way of the goal. If the TSCC of even the first season makes it back on air or disc, I’ll be happy.
