Great Lena Headey Interview

Here is an interview of Lena done on the Brunch With Bridget show which is perhaps one of the most entertaining interviews I’ve seen in a while. The interview is done on a bed and…well, not to give too much away, but here are two key words: pillow fight.

The Connor Wars Writer’s Room 2 – An Update and Some Early Spoilers

A quick update and a few spoilers from the currently in-progress fanfic project that picks up where season 2 of Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles left off.

TTSCC – Beyond John’s Army

Let’s look at the world that is not in John Connor’s upper caste–all of those humans that aren’t soldiers but just trying to survive. Let’s also look at the world outside Connor’s camp, especially since we now have the post-season-2 altered timeline.

TTSCC – Who Is Catherine Weaver?

Who is Catherine Weaver? Yes, we know that she’s a mimetic poly-alloy (MPA) terminator who is wanting to help John defeat Skynet, but who is she?

Pre-order Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2

The time has come to see how set the future is. Season 2 of Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles is now available for pre-orders. Reserve your copy and send a message that you want a Season 3.

TTSCC – Cameron and DID

I’m still not sold on the idea that Cameron’s chip is necessarily glitchy. Since her CPU was damaged, there is no doubt that she’s been having to work through various conflicts that weren’t conflicts before.

Not Sure How I Feel About CSI 0920

Tonight’s episdoe of CSI, “A Space Oddity”, promised to be an interesting one: a death at a scifi convention. I’m still not quite sure if it was a parody, an homage, or outright mocking. I say this despite the fact that the principle writers have a connection to the genre.

TTSCC – The Importance of John Henry in Season 3

The mud-puddle that sucking at my shoe is this question: What, exactly, is so important about Weaver’s John that Sarah’s John can’t win the war without em?

Terminators and Dogs

I’ve been thinking about how the ability of dogs to detect terminators is both a good thing and a bad thing for story. It’s obviously well-established, but does the idea need a little tweaking?

Ausiello Reporting TTSCC is “Done”

Entertainment Weekly gossip reporter (a usually accurate one) is reporting that Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles is done. That although an official announcement is awaiting the up-fronts in May,

The Connor Wars Writer’s Room 1 – Intro & Bible

The Terminator-The Sarah Connor Chronicles season 2 finale has left me fired up. I’m giddy. As long as I have my giddy up and no new episodes are airing, I thought it’d be fun to set up a writer’s room of our own. For every journey, there is a first step.

TTSCC – “Born to Run” Implications For Season 3

My weekly episode reviews for Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles finished season 2 with the episode, “Born to Run”. Despite having done the podcast and the blog, I’m still not done. My mind can’t stop thinking about the story implications for the next season.

T:TSCC 0222 – Born to Run

The second season finale of Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles gave fans a couple of answers, a lot of almost answers, and a great big ol’ pile of possibilities for Season 3 and beyond.

T:TSCC 0222 Fancast – Born to Run

Welcome to this week’s podcast for Season 2, Episode 22 of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: “Born to Run”. This is meant to be played along with the episode video (cuing instructions are at the beginning of the podcast).

2009 WNBA Draft 1st Round Thoughts

Thoughts about the 2009 WNBA first round picks.

The 2009 WNBA 11-player Roster SNAFU

The WNBA has had a history of making very considered moves to help the league not only survive but grow. This past offseason, due to the effects of the economic downslide, the WNBA announced that, for the 2009 season, rosters would be cut from thirteen spots down to eleven. Did the league err?

TTSCC Scenes I’d Like to See (Part 6) – Yes

As we head into the final episode of the second season, I had a small exchange pop into my head that would be sort of a cool way to tie up some threads and set the stage for a third season. Once again it involves a meeting between our two lead terminators.

T:TSCC 0221 – Adam Raised a Cain

The penultimate episode of the second season of Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles delivered a long overdue reset to the series. Not so much of story (though that got a boost), but of character. The characters acted surprisingly in-character this week in a story that was almost totally about trust.
