Save One Show – Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Every year, the Watch With Kristen section of the E! web site features an S.O.S. (Save One Show, formerly Save Our Show) election for netizens to vote on a “bubble” show they’d like their network to save. Well, the preliminary round is finished, and the five shows remaining are:

Was It Easier Being a Kid?

I was watching some children in the neighborhood playing. Some were doing something with a ball. Others (this was weird) were sitting at the curb texting. Now, while I’m happy that they are apparently at least somewhat literate, at least enough for texting, I couldn’t help but wonder if something gets lost?

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.

I Want a DVR to Die For

I love DVRs. They shame VCRs. Unfortunately, almost all DVRs come with shortcomings. That’s unfortunate since they could be, in the words of Barney Stinson, “Legen–wait for it–dary”. If I were able to get the one that I want, this is the one that I want.

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.

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 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).

Foreclosing on the Fourth Estate

I’ve never been much of a newspaper reader. I am a news reader, however. A better method of delivery than RSS, but just as easy and common, would fit those of us who simply can’t deal with the unwieldiness and expense (economic and environmental) of paper.

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.

T:TSCC 0221 Fancast – Adam Raised a Cain

Welcome to this week’s podcast for Season 2, Episode 21 of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: “Adam Raised a Cain”. This is meant to be played along with the episode video (cuing instructions are at the beginning of the podcast).

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.
