Sarah Conner Chronicles renewed!!

http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stori...4/23/index.htm

Quote:
Fox has picked up 13 episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles for the 2008-2009 television season.

Brian Green, who guest-starred as Derek in the final episodes of Season 1, will become a cast regular, joining Lena Headey (Sarah), Summer Glau (Cameron) and Thomas Dekker (John).

The show currently ranks as the No. 1 new scripted series this season among Adults 18-49.

The first season ended on a cliffhanger, with Cameron caught in a car bomb an Sarah close to locating an important Skynet component.

Produced by C2 Pictures in association with Warner Bros. Television, the show is executive produced by Josh Friedman and John Wirth. James Middleton serves as consulting producer, with Toni Graphia serves as co-executive producer and Natalie Chaidez as a consulting producer.
WOOT!!!

I had no doubts that this show would get renewed, it's pretty good so far.

I watch it when I catch it. I have missed a lot of character and plot details so I am kinda lost.
Summer Glau gets such cool roles. I love Firefly which was very short lived.

Not really but John's uncle (90210's Brian Austin Green) from the future lives with them now and in the season finale John met his dad. Sure he (the dad) is currently 6 years old but still...

As great as the show is, I had my doubts because it's on Fox.

Anyway, awesome news. I didn't expect to like the show as much as I did. Summer Glau is really cute as the terminator. Like the pizza day scene. " I had two slices. Do I look fat?". Robots trying to fit in is a cliche that I will never get tired of.

I was just foolishly assuming it was safe just because it's Terminator...but yeah, if this was just a show without a big name movie series tied to it then I probably would have been worried because it's Fox too.

Yup I knew it would return.I never watched the first season,just the Pilot and it was good.Id like to watch it all but the reason I never did the first time was because Iv always felt it was kinda usless to have the series in the first place.

At first I was like,we know what will happen cause Sarah is there but she dies by the time we get to the "Termniator 3" story...but I read everywhere that it was meant to be a totally new storyline that completly ignores T3.So I was like well you can take this two ways...follow the series with the T3 storyline or with the new "Sarah Connor Chronicles" storyline...I picked T3.

I know theres alot people that hate or at least generally dislike T3 but I loved it.I dont know why people hated on it so much...it still follows the same storylines and it had alot of cool action,plus I thought the Female Terminator was cool.

.
I suggest you just ignore T3 since the next 3 Terminator films are. *lol*

T3 is now a whole other timeline. Sarah Connor - T6 is the main timeline now.

Now it goesl: T1 - T2 - Sarah Connor - T4 - T5 - T6

Sarah doesn't die cuz the Summer Glau Terminatrix told her about the cancer so she's been seeing doctors about it.. Plus there was a time jump from 1997 - 2008.

Still think it would be funny if they saw Ahnold on the tv and freak out.

Really?...they are offically going to ignore T3?...who said?

Well like I said,I never saw the series so I didnt know about Summer telling Sarah about the cancer,I just saw the pilot so I know about the time-jump which is why I said you could view it two diffrent ways(SCC or T3).

Well T3 is ignored cuz of Sarah not dying and the time jump. Sarah Connor is supposed to connect to T4 in some way. It's set in 2019 tho so who knows anymore...especially with Anton "Im the new Chekov and Im actually Russian!" Yelchin playing Kyle Reese in T4

I watched an episode, maybe I'm not meant for TV but I thought it was pretty bad. The idea of a robot killing machine from the future acting like a teenager and taking ballet lessons just doesn't appeal to me.

Precisly why I think it's grossly overrated. This is stuff that ought to be aired late and have Frank Miller or at least a real, honest-to-Christ Asimov/Dick worshipper overlooking everything.

Looks like not only has Sarah Conner been renewed BUT FOX is also developing a spin-off or what they're calling a "companion" series. WTF?!

Quote:
Fox has also been developing potential companion series to the sci-fi hourlong and, in meetings with advertisers, execs have discussed several potential scheduling scenarios that include the show.
