Terminator Fans Are a Force in End-of-season Polls

It’s been interesting to watch this year’s round of Poll-ballot-stuffing a/k/a which bubble show should be saved surveys. Every season, the passionate fans of a series band together and do their level best to flood sites with just as many votes as possible.

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,

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 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.

TTSCC – The Peanuts Effect

When an ensemble is formed, the creators have certain specific ideas about who is important and who isn’t. Amazingly, the audience doesn’t always hold to those views, and prefer to choose for themselves who are the key characters. As many fans of Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles hold to the idea that the breakout character is Cameron, so too have fans made their picks in the past.

TTSCC Characters in Scene Counts thru Season 2

Something that comes up on various forums a lot is how often some characters are appearing on the show. For Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles, there has been a fair amount of debate about whether some characters are getting short-shrift when it comes to screen time.

T:TSCC 0220 – To the Lighthouse

The end of the season 2 roller coaster ride of revelations and implications continues with “To the Lighthouse”. In a departure from much of season 2, this episode gave us not only coordinated attacks against John and the rest of the Connor Cadre, but also an attempt on the life of John Henry by another “sibling” A.I.
