R.I.P. Terminator: TSCC

The Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (TSCC) was canceled today.

This show was excellent. One of the best shows I have seen, especially of the Sci Fi genre. I think the nuance of the storytelling threw me (and many), but like any intricate work of art, it gets better on closer inspection.

I am disappointed, but not disheartened. Too many shows actually stay on the air too long. The finale served the series’ story almost too well. It wrapped everything up in a way that leaves me wondering, but not confused. With the “family” split, and no Cameron, I do not think it could be the same show. There is a tendency to push TV shows past the point of good storytelling, and I am glad this one ended gracefully.

Lena - I was really impressed by how well she developed the character over the two seasons. I hope someone realizes how good of an actor she is.
Summer - Always amazing. As the saying goes, I’d watch her read the phonebook.
Brian - Added a very cool edge to the show.
Dekker - I enjoyed watching John Baum become John Connor. I don’t think I realized what was going on, until it was explained in an episode, and I wish I had gotten to see more of Dekker as John Connor. But still an A+ performance.

Thank you for an excellent show!

You must see the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season Finale

If you have not seen it, go watch (hopefully it will be at http://www.fox.com/terminator/?src=home_page_whats_on_tonight soon).

About two weeks ago, I started rewatching the old episodes that I have DVR'd, so they are all relatively fresh. This finale was hands-down the best one of the series! The whole episode was good, but my jaw was literally open from the time the window broke until the end of the episode.

It better not be the end of the series. This show needs budget. It needs another FULL season, so they can get the stars (like Lena Headey, Summer Glau, Shirley Manson, Thomas Dekker, Brian Austin Green, and Garret Dillahunt) to not worry about jumping to other opportunities. The whole cast is great. They need to keep up the promotional efforts. Most of all, they need people to watch!

If you like this show, and you're on Twitter, tweet to @Foxbroadcasting and let them know you are watching. Let them know that tweets can spread the word about a GREAT show. And if you are not on twitter, sign up at www.twitter.com and then go to www.twitter.com/foxbroadcasting and tell them you love this show! Then go watch Dollhouse!

No fate, but what we make...

Getting ready for the Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles SEASON finale!

Must have a season 3.

Brian Austin Green as Derek Reese was awesome, but I like his character's death. As the lady said this week, "Keep moving."

I really hope that John (the writers) is smart enough to not go after his mother right away (learned his lesson from T2). All terminators in 2010(?) will see the TV coverage and waiting. I think we already saw one in the crowd of officers.

If they do, i hope Cameron goes into the police station Terminator 1 style. It would be a little cheesy but a good callback.

Finally, I do believe that Weaver is the same T-1000 we saw on the sub. I just think her mission is different. She could have followed Ellison to Sarah to find John, but I don't think she cares. I actually think her goal is to create the AI that creates her own sect of machines. I think there are definitely 3 camps in the future-the humans, Skynet, and a third group that probably views the whole was as inefficient. I think the writers have evolved from the 80's "machine-bad, people-good" view of things. Or at least I hope so.

I am finally liking the John Henry character. Let's keep it going FOX! (also watch Dollhouse).
