OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV show
 

Whats the word on this?

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

Have high hopes and expectations. Read a few of the books and thought they were pretty good. Have a bad feeling though they will air 4-6 episodes and either be cut due to poor viewership, corporate stupidity or the writers strike.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

Never heard of it. chances are it will be canceled by episode 8, then have great dvd sales, be brought back as a movie of the week or as a feature film, bomb, and be never heard from again.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

It's sounds like it might be cool, I just wish they weren't totally handwaving away the entire timeline of T3. I try not to be anal about that sort of thing, I know it sounds terribly geeky. It just really leaves me cold when they do that sort of stuff. It's like, what was the point of that movie if none of it relates to the new stuff?

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

The only point of that movie that I could see was to make Arnie some extra $$ and to spread the sex appeal of the female terminator. IMO that movie was the worse thing to happen to the franchise.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

It just depends on who's behind this. Gale Anne Hurd or James Cameron? Cameron wouldn't have made T3 like it was, but since Hurd has the rights to the franchise, she can do anything she wants to with it. Which is a shame. I'd rather see Cameron's version on both the small and big screen. After all, he was the one who created teh Terminator in the first place.

Are you aware Christian Bale is playing John Connor in Terminator 4?

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

T4? I hadn't even heard of it being a possibility. I wish Christian Bale would get back to being Bruce Wayne, however. Batman Begins was the ultimate Batman movie, and what Tim Burton should have made in 1989. I can't wait for the sequel.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

They are making a T4? WTF.... who is running this project? And Christian Bale is a damn good actor. Check our Equilibrium if you doubt me.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

After the drastic effects of Terminator 3, the story continues as John Connor and soon to be wife Kate Brewster realize they must create a resistance organization with Earth's remaining survivors against the army of robots slowly being built up by Skynet. As they are building this resistance, one survivor happens to be a traitor in disguise, and has a secret that nobody would ever come to suspect.

What is the secret, Its john Connor's twin.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

I assume the T4 comment was meant as a joke.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

No, that is the plot for T4 according to the Imdb.com

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

....... The series really should have died with the 2nd movie. I have to say this whole recycling of franchises has now officially made me angry.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

Wait for the video games and musical to come.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

The idea of a Cara Conner Chronicles TV show or a T4 movie does nothing for me. I won't bother to watch either.

It just shows the entertainment industry's total lack of new ideas.

I know that sounds hypocritical of me, since I AM looking forward to the new Star Trek film.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

Oh? A musical?

(claps hands in glee)

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

I saw the show last night, and what with my son taking a bath and my wife getting things ready for school, I missed the credits. So I don't know who was behind the show. But I liked it. I plan on seeing tonight's show with less interruptions.

I do have a few questions about the format. First of all, Dark Horse Comics had a series a few years back that had Dyson's brother being a cop and trying to apprehend the Conners, until WW3 happened. I wonder if the black FBI agent on the show is supposed to be him. I didn't catch his name.

Also, what's up with the time machine in the bank vault? Who was this engineer who went to 1963 and created something that not even Skynet could do? Send humans and/or cyborgs back into the future. That will need some more explaining, and if anyone knows of a website that goes into this let me know.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

Well...Their review wasn't as scorching as normal.

They're kinda like a tv-review terminator.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

I am watching it but with waning interest.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

I enjoyed it, much better than "Survivor: Tehran" Hopefully they don't screw things up too bad.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

I couldn't bring myself to watch it. The previews looked awful... "Only a mother's love can save the future"... bleh

This just looks like fox's answer to Bionic Woman, but instead of one hot super woman, they added a 2nd with the terminator. You know that they will have a romance/tension plot with the terminator and John Connor. It just seems like they are going for a wider demographic rather than the best story. If this was on hbo or another channel like that, I would watch it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

While it was not as bad as I feared, I can't say I was terribly impressed with it. I think the worst aspects of it was any scene with John, which ranged from stupid (scene in the computer store) to lame (scene with him recording his voicemail greeting) to WTF? (scene with him breaking into his mother's old boyfriend house and then assaulting him).

I'd also second Aegisx's thoughts that they will probably introduce a romance plot with the feminator and John, and if you've watched Futurama you know the dangers of dating robots.

In the end I guess I still don't understand why this was greenlit in the first place. The Terminator universe isn't exactly ripe with fascinating mythology to draw from, and how you can keep up a continuing action drama about it is beyond me. And really, since the future keeps sending robots back in time that means nothing changes, so isn't the show based on just spinning the wheels endlessly?

Oh well, who wants to start betting on how long it even manages to last before it gets replaced by a reality show?

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

Hey, if it is a reality show with bipedal killer robots, that would be worth watching http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

American Idolnator anyone?

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

To late.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

ROTFLMAO Good one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

BOO!!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

TtSCC will go about 13 or so episodes and then be terminated. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif Of this I am pretty sure given that it is basically a tried and true Sci-Fi robots are people too retread of a plot line that has been literally hammered to death. Hell it is already being called a BSG type rip-off based in 2007 on Earth given that the robots are human and want to knock off man kind. To these people I simply say TERMINATOR, go rent it and stop *****ing, it really makes you look 12 and quite pathetic.

FOX is known for its love of killing shows after 13 episodes. They kill em off only to discover years later that they had made a horrible mistake. Examples, Family Guy, Futurama, Firefly, and so on. Hell they were going to kill 24 around hour 13 but fan out pouring kept the show on the air and it blossomed into a huge hit for FOX. (I think the executive that wanted to drop the axe on that show had the axe dropped on him.)

If they would kill off Firefly after 10 episodes, even though they had 13 read to go, then this crappy excuse for a show won't last long. Yes,It Truly Is That Bad...!

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

All I've wanted to see since seeing the original movie is what happens after the bombs go off. How does John Conner go from reluctant hero, to being the saviour of mankind. I hope that is what T4 will be about. I think AT is right about Fox cancelling the show sooner than later. We'll just have to wait and see.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

Too much time travel.
Not enough Summer Glau.

I agree with the previous post, and I hope T4 is about the war. I hated T3's "the internet made me do it" origin of Skynet... if for no more reason than the internet is not shielded against nukes, and of course networked computers are nothing special. I wasn't thrilled with T2's rewriting of "how many time travelers there were". I just loved T1's "a storm is coming" ending... making it in my mind the best of the movies.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

That "internet made me do it" crap in T3 was so lame. Do you think the writers of that little tid bid put some thought into what happens to the internet when all the computers are nuked out of existence? Without power computer no work, no computers, no networks, no networks, no internet, no internet, no skynet. Duuuuuurrrrrrr

Well at least they didn't save Sara conners head and put her in a prison with a baby terminator in her belly that is never explained how it got there.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

I could easily see a machine-internet intelligence thinking 'I live in the net, they live in real life - We've got no resource conflicts and the more computers they hook in, the more of me there is! Cool!'.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

In fact, if a Internet-AI eventualy arises, it would do anything possible to improve the Internet, so we would plug more computers for it to use...

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

Like making flashy, resource intensive games to push manufacturing, mixed with low grade time wasting flash games to keep the new powerful computers online and mostly idle?

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

...SJ, RUN!!!!!

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

You mean ... "Johnny Connor - the High School Musical" I have the script right here!!!

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

I call it two hot chicks and a guy the 90210 chronicles.

Rather lame. Mind you the only sci-fi type show i am watching is primevil. And I know i should not be watching that.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

I've been watching 'Reaper' on the CW channel. I get a kick out of the humor in the show. You should watch it.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

I did not like Reaper at all.

I did like Dead Like Me. And they are making a movie.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

I have to admit I'm rather surprised. A sci-fi show on Fox that ended up airing an entire season. Who'd have thunk?

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

More like a British "series"... wasn't it 6 episodes?

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

I'll start bets to whether season 2 ever starts.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

Bionic Woman got canceled.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

That sucks. I kinda liked that show. Not for the plot though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Lead character wasn't bad looking!

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

That sucks. It was looking like it was going to be good.

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

I thought I'd just share something someone said about the next film being a prequel (supposedly)

As Chief O'Brien said

"I hate temporal mechnaics"

Re: OT: Terminator \"Sara Connor Chronicles\" TV sho
 

Not quite correct. The only way it could work is an *infinite loop; John Conner knew who and when to send back into the past because he had encountered them after they were sent back into the past - Thus, he remembers them from his past.

An infinite loop, *or something close to it, is possible if the first triggering event sets the stage for additional triggering events, thus possibly creating multiple loops and multiple timelines.

If a shows primary feature is eye candy, then it is in trouble... unless it is on HBO (and other pay channels) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
