Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles

Tonight was the first time the show did anything interesting with John Henry. Personally, I think they could and should have cut out about 80% of the scenes involving him before tonight. Granted, the producers probably want to do something with all of the actors on the payroll, but sometimes less is better than more.

I kind of liked the low-key feel to tonight's episode. Definitely a calm before the storm. Sad to see the dog died, though.

What no love for the dead father of Sarah's baby??
Poor ole Charlie.

Yep, I totally noticed that in that show.

Of course, how cool would it be to hang out with robots and paint miniatures ~ and they wouldn't hog all the pizza!

John Henry should have painted faster. I wonder if he could paint all of my figs? Hell, I'd have a killer robot from the future paint my figs if that means I could finally get them done.

I missed it Friday, but watched the latest show tonight!!

Another great one with loads of action/plot/acting/drama/suspense/creative dialog, etc.

I'm curious to know what you guys who didn't care for the Ellison/Ms Weaver/John Henry segments prior . . think of how this and the last episode did with regard to your interest in all these plot devices coming together.

To me, it seems like those early segments were put to good use and really helped drive these last 2 shows to great success.

[And the little girl is really a great actress!]

Even though the Ellison/Ms Weaver/John Henry segments for the past 6+ epsiodes have been boring as shit, this latest episode does start to bring those storylines back into the fold, quite well. Though, I still would have hoped for tighter writing regarding these characters which became quite boring.
POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT

.

.

.

.

The latest epsiode through me for one with the Derek Reese character. I have to say I didn't see that coming. As the episode went on, this is exactly what could happen to every main character and was treated as it should have been. *golf clap*

Good episode.

New episode up on Hulu....

I haven't watched the whole episode yet, but D&D, Umber Hulks and Mind Flayers make their appearances.

And I wish I could roll like John Henry....

Caught up on the last two episodes.... excellent. John Henry playing D&D!

I will say I'm pleased with the way they finally brought the John Henry group together with the Sarah Connor group.

I'm enjoying the ambiguity of the "join us" bit quite a lot. Good stuff... I pray they don't cancel this show.

I also really hope that they don't cancel the show now. It just keeps getting better.

If anyone is curious, the scene is at 4:35...

The Terminator plays D&D

I'm kind of mad at the producers for finally making the show really good at the end of the season. Now I'm kind of falling in love with the show and the writing is on the wall that the show is about to break up with me and get cancelled.

If Terminator: The Sarah Connors Chronicles is being cancelled, my hope is a brand new show next year:

Terminator: The John Connors Chronicles....

The rumors are swirling fast and furious over the past two days that this show is being canceled. Sucks. Let's hope it's not true. Unfortunately, usually where there is smoke...

I really hope they give it another shot. Why do they keep moving shows like this to Friday nights?

They want to attract someone, anyone, to watch on Friday nights, so they take a show and move it there in hopes that they can get any Nielsen score. Of course, people don't want to stay home on Friday night and watch TV shows... not when they can go get drunk and play C&C!

I found a blog citing two of the show's writers who have Twittered in the last few days to say the show has not been canceled (yet). The show is reportedly still in limbo.

Shirley Manson was on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonight and mentioned that she is now an unemployed actress. Hmm, I guess you can say that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is canceled.
