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.

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.

Few Options For Viewing 2009 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tourney

The 2009 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, like any 64-team tournament, holds the promise of many interesting games. Games that will be competitive. Games featuring teams I want to watch. This tournament is touted by ESPN as having all the games available. Well…perhaps for some.

T:TSCC 0219 – Today Is The Day, Part 2

As a vehicle to let us see John Connor (finally), this was the episode. The story itself tied up a lot of loose ends, helped confirm and deny fan speculations, but most of all it revealed, for the first time, that John is bigger than the events he has to deal with.

TTSCC’s Cameron and Catherine: Good, Evil, or Other?

As season 2 of Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles reaches its revelatory four episode climax, we are left considering the larger issues of this universe: who is good, who is evil, and what is going on this this war? Is it bigger than John Connor?

Method or Madness?

When it comes to acting, I’m not a fan of “The Method”. While I sort of agree with the concept of it, the fact is that I think it has hurt American acting (especially) more than it has helped.

T:TSCC 0218 – Today Is The Day, Part 1

It’s a pain to review the first part of a two-part episode because, by direct inference, you don’t know how it winds up. With the Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles episode, “Today Is The Day, Part 1” (0218), we follow several story threads that beg for various degrees of resolution.

Why I Write

Following my post, TTSCC Scenes I’d Like to See (Part 5) – Veritas, I received an email from a casual lurker (their words) asking why do I post these scenes? Did I expect to be “discovered” or something?

TTSCC Scenes I’d Like to See (Part 5) – Veritas

Let’s Calculate Television Program Ratings a New Way

The time has come to stop depending on the statistical few to have the same tastes as the variety of viewers across the country. When they are picking from half-a-dozen choices, that might have had some merit, but when picking from about 1,000 choices, those 5,000 Nielsen families seem woefully under-representative. With just a new twist with available technology, there can be upwards of 200,000,000 votes as to what is worthy of being on the air and what isn’t. Whether watched live on DTV, or a week later off your laptop’s hard-drive, you can tell the powers that be that you are watching.

Cameron’s Glitch – Evolution or Fatal Flaw?

In the Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles episode “Ourselves Alone”, we revisited the aftereffects of damage done to the Cameron Phillips terminator when she was caught in an explosion at the Season 1-2transition.

T:TSCC 0217 – Ourselves Alone

Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles 0217 “Ourselves Alone” – Featuring our primary cast, this episode hit a lot of important issues. But before I get into that, I want to say that I think I’ve figured out what has been hampering the show as of late, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t talk about it.

Please, Correct Your Aspect Ratio

OK, this is driving me nuts. People, attend to your aspect ratios. I’m sick to death of 16:9 (widescreen) videos being scrunched to 4:3 (normal). Though it happens a little less frequently, stretching 4:3 vids to fit 16:9 is just as awful.
