Season 3 For Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Can Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles avoid the cancellation block and get renewed for a third season? Despite what some of the knee-jerk naysayers are naysaying, I believe that FOX still has reason to stick with the show provided a few small changes are made.

T:TSCC 0216 – Some Must Watch, While Some Must Sleep

A whirlwind of dreams and reality mix to reveal how difficult it must be to be Sarah Connor. She views the world in her own special way. Mostly, though, her world revolves around John. John and Cameron. But mostly John. If only that world were larger, I’d likely be giving a better review.

Quick Thoughts on the 2009 Academy Awards

It’s been interesting reading what so many entertainment reporters have been saying about the most recent ceremony that Hollywood puts on to hand out awards to its own. I never forget that the purpose of the show is no different than what happens in school auditoriums at the end of their year. It’s just that with the people being entertainers and all, they like to do things up just a bit better.

T:TSCC 0215 – Desert Cantos

As a town mourns the loss of all the workers of a warehouse disaster (disaster/massacre…po-tay-to/po-tah-to — at least there was a nifty explosion), the Connor Cadre infiltrates the funeral to gather more information about the place that resulted in Sarah getting shot as well as her first kill.

T:TSCC 0214 – The Good Wound

Can a moment of clarity be found in a hallucination? Perhaps, if you’ve been jailed in a mental institution for a couple of years because you told the truth about killer robots and nuclear Armageddon, that’s the only place where you can find your moments of clarity. Sarah Connor only knew Kyle Reese for two days, but they loved a lifetime’s worth. It’s hardly surprising that when she needs to turn to someone for advice, it would be Kyle.

Sex and the Single Cyborg

In a world where the machines are in charge, the old ways of making babies are dead. The intelligent machines will want to continue their reign. Being made out of metal and all…how are they going to do that? How could they possibly be fruitful and multiply?

Anna Ellison, the Muse of Cakes

I love “Ace of Cakes”. It’s one of the most entertaining shows on television. There’s heart, humor, art, and oh-no-they-dint moments in most episodes. That said, there is one person on the Charm City Cakes staff that is guaranteed to make me watch episode after episode: art director Anna Ellison.

25 Superpowers… Which To Choose?

It seems to happen a least a few times every month. You are tending to your mundane business and then someone comes up to you and inquires as to your preference in superpowers. They never say if they are offering, polling, or something equally as dubious. I found out the hard way that it’s good to be prepared. I’m going to present my commentary on a variety of superpowers and which I’ve come to favor (you can vote on your preferences at the end of the blog).

Scrumtrulescence: 3 Women of Sci-Fi

In the realm of entertainment, a few men and women become stars. Songs, sagas, and salaries stratospheric are rendered unto them. This blog entry isn’t about them. No, instead I want to cast a light on three who have shone by their own scrumtrulescence.

Sustaining a Post-JD Terminator/Human Alliance

What if Cameron and a group of like-minded terminators didn’t want the extermination of humans, and were willing to stop the fighting? If Cameron was able to convince future-John of this, and if together the Humans and the non-Skynet Terminators managed to defeat Skynet and its minions…then what?

Obama’s First Policy Stumble

It’s amazing. President Barak Obama didn’t even last his first week before one of his boneheaded policy desires started fast-tracking through Congress. Though seemingly innocuous to some, the push to delay the digital television transition is capricious and ill-advised.
