We’re still a couple of months away – but FOX is already out with a pair of awesome looking promo trailers for Season 2 of Sarah Connor Chronicles.

First thing that you’ll notice is that Cameron (the foxy terminator) is apparently turning on John. Not a big surprise is it? (or is it just another copy sent from the future?)

Two promos in total –

HURRAY! FOX didn’t frak this one up.

Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles has now been officially confirmed for second season of at least 13 episodes.

No official word yet on when season 2 will start, but I’d assume that since the order just came today we’re probably looking at September at the earliest at this point.

It’s Monday and for the first time in weeks – we don’t have a Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles episode.

We don’t know if Sarah is coming back after the ‘season finale’. We don’t know if there will be a Season 2.

We the fans cannot allow FOX to kill yet another fine SciFi show (they killed Firefly and should never be allowed to kill another).

It’s time to let FOX know how you feel. Write them at askfox@fox.com

Subject: Save Sarah Connor Chronicles !

The fight to save the future has just begun – we want Season 2!

WOW what a great episode.

Action

Plot development

and real touching moment drama too (with the young Reese brothers)

This is a show that has gotten better with each and every episode. The T-888 is out there building Skynet, Cromartie is hunter the Connors (and blowing up the FBI), Cameron is hiding something and so is Derek Reese. (and what was up with that other chik from the ‘hood’??).

This CAN’T BE THE LAST EPISODE FOX!! RENEW SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES FOR SEASON 2 !!!

The War to Save (Mankind and the) Sarah Connor Chronicles begins now!

End of the line for Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles? March 3, 2008

We’re only about half an hour away at posting time from the season finale of Sarah Connor Chronicles.

So far FOX has NOT RENEWED the series, they have NOT stated that they were planning on Season 2 and that really REALLY SUCKS.

Maybe they’re waiting to see how the rating are for the 2 hour show tonight (SO WATCH THE SHOW ON EVERY TV IN YOUR HOUSE AND GET YOUR NEIGHBORS TO DO THE SAME).

Sure the Writer’s strike messed up planning but still, they could show a bit more respect for the show’s fans. Make no mistake about is Sarah Connor Chronicles has fans..and we here at ShowMeSciFi.com are proud to be numbered among them.

So here’s hoping that SCC WILL BE BACK FOR SEASON 2!!

(don’t screw this up FOX, you killed Firefly don’t kill Sarah Connor Chronicles!)

Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles 1×7 Ballerina February 25, 2008

Nice. We get a rehash of more Terminator 2 stuff with a new Dr. Silverman (this one isn’t nearly a neurotic).

Did Sarah actually save the FBI agent? That sure was some ‘weird’ cinematography there wasn’t it?

And Cameron?? Man oh  man is she one scary Terminator …now she’s a ballerina too.

All told yet another really solid episode of Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles. Our only complaint is that next week is the season finale?! How does that happen??? Since when does episodes make a season? I know we had the writers strike to deal with but still..8 episodes is NOT A FULL SEASON!

WOW. What a great episode, easily the best yet for Sarah Connor Chronicles.

We finally get a glimpse of the future. Even better the series is now woven tightly in with the narrative from the first Terminator with Kyle having a pic of Sarah (not Linda Hamilton though).  And we get another vantage on that pivotal move of Kyle Reese and what happened to him before being sent back.

Now his brother…what happened in that room with the music?  Is he a sleeper skynet agent now?

Kyle Reese had a brother.

NEAT.

Sarah gets back together with her former boyfriend the medic.

VERY NEAT.

Sarah does the pullup thing that Linda Hamilton did so very effectively in T2 (while in the mental facility) – that wasn’t so cool. Lena Headey just isn’t as buff.

Summer Glau’s Terminator continues her cardboard performance..though she at least had a funny line in this episode. Sarah calls shotgun (for the front of the jeep) and Cameron call ‘9 millimeter’.

All told a solid episode though that will help to add even more plot complexity to this show.

Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles 1×4 Golem February 4, 2008

The concept of the Golem of Prague is an ancient and well known story.

The way the writers brilliantly wove that ancient tale’s basic premise into this episode, gives me great hope that this series has a fantastic writing team behind it (#hope they settle the strike soon!!#).

Then again, episode 1×3 was officially called ‘The Turk’ which is of course another ‘old’ story that the writers were able to weave in…I wonder how many more they were able to find…

Again we’ve got what looks to be a recurring theme with various ‘others’ coming from the future – in his case yet another Terminator – to do something in the past that will help the outcome in the future.

The continuing theme with the FBI agent that is overlooked and ‘laughed at’ is a bit cliched but hey it does serve its purpose.

Then of course there is John.

John Connor the great Savior of humanity – no longer interested in running – but interested in making a difference now. Brilliant.

Summer Glau’s ‘Cameron’ Terminator is still just a cardboard cutout..and it would be really great to see her Terminator evolve into something more animated as this series continues.

Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles in Repeats already?? January 28, 2008

We’ve only had three episodes of Sarah Connor Chronicles – and it looks like we’re into REPEATS already!!

The official Fox Terminator site (which is useless when it comes to actually providing up to date information for fans) give no such indication that this week’s show is a repeat.

What’s the point of having a repeat so early in a season? If FOX is trying to kill this show off it’s doing a fine job with this stunt.

Sure Pres Bush has a State of the Union address at 9 ET but that doesn’t mean FOX couldn’t have had a new show at 8 PM. Make no mistake about it FOX KILLED FIREFLY with similiar mis-steps…let’s hope they don’t do the same to Sarah Connor Chronicles

Which Terminator Model is the Best? January 24, 2008

Awesome article up on Popular Mechanics this month breaking down all the various Terminator models from the first T-800 model up to the unknown model in Sarah Connor Chronicles (Summer Glau’s ‘Cameron).

Easily the most awesome in my view is the T-1000 (the one made of liquid metal in Terminator 2). That robot could change its shape and was the first to do so.

After that it’s all just about strength which is  difficult to measure and then intelligence and personality. Which is where Cameron fits in ..sure she’s strong but she was specifically designed for a purpose..and we’ll find out as the series goes on what that purpose really is all about.

Alrighty the pilot is out of the way so now we’re into the regular stuff and so far it’s not that great, though it did have some neat plot developments.

In the pilot Summer Glau (Cameron)’s Terminator was a believable teen – hey she fooled John Connor and he’s trained to locate Terminators. In this episode she was rigid, robotic and entirely unbelievable as a normal teen.

Oh and what was with that girl that sat next to John in science class? (before Cameron came in) ..she clearly knew John ..she’s gotta be a resistance fighter from the future or something.

The resistance fighters subplot is really a great idea and clearly they’ve been sent back from the future to hunt down skynet themselves. Who built Skynet is the big question in this show..unlike T2 and T3 there is a question in Sarah Connor Chronicles.

OHH and with all the hype behind this series FOX is already dropping the ball – an hour after the show FOX still didn’t have a listing for the episode up on the show’s website. Compare that with Stargate Atlantis for example where each week’s episode is listed the week before – to give the fans something to look forward to and a name for the episode. I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope FOX is planning on stranding us the way they stranded Firefly.

Get on board

Step inside you’re going on a magic ride

Where Terminators will relentlessly hunt you down.

Yup..Terminator is going on tour with a green screen bus that lets us the fans jump into the scene to experience what it’s like to be chased by cold robotic killing machine from the post apocalyptic future.

The full tour schedule isn’t quite as comprehensive as we would like but hey..not too shabby either.

Check out the full tour schedule here.

Terminator : Sarah Connor Chronicles Pilot Part 2 – how long can this go on for? January 15, 2008

Alright after the euphoria of seeing a new Terminator the second part of the pilot was a bit of a let down.

Sure since the first Terminator we know that Terminators keep coming back, again and again and again.

In this series it looks like there will be multiple Terminators coming at the Connors. While that may make sense in a way..in others its annoying. The Terminator that was blasted in the Bank vault in 1999 should have been toast.

The missing dad syndrome for John is interesting and i’m sure that we’ll see plenty more of that in the future.

Again the fact that the Summer Glau Terminator takes orders from no one in the present is somewhat annoying.

But the fact that we’ve got freedom fighters from the future coming back in time too makes this even more complex.

Still, week after week, wave after wave of Terminator coming against the Connors – it’s going to be a really tough sell to keep this show fresh.

Cool.

From the get go in this pilot, there is no mistaking that this is part of the original Terminator franchise (not the lame Terminator 3 stuff).

No Lena Headey is not Linda Hamilton…she’s different..a far more tortured Sarah Connor and one that is more teacher than mercenary. It is Linda Hamilton that next to the Schwartzenneger was one of the most memorable actors in the Terminator series..so Headey has some pretty big shoes to fill.

Summer Glau is awesome as everyone had expected… so far we know she’s ‘different’ but we don’t know why..i suspect we’ll find out the series goes on. She never answers John’s question about what her model is..so it’s a very curious thing as to who she is responsible to and who exactly sent her back in time to protect John.

The concept that Terminators from the future come back into the past to build parts for super weapons that the Connors get to use is a neat plot tool but thankfully they’ve kept with the original concept that you can’t travel through time without anything but your skin.

BUT and a very big but..i believe this to be the first time that there has been a FORWARD TIME TRAVEL in Terminator..so far everything has been backward.

Overall a great first part episode..nothing in it that didn’t make sense..very tight, well acted and scripted with the right amount of action.

Who says that good things come to those who wait? Terminator spinoff TV series Sarah Connor Chronicles isn’t on broadcast TV until Jan 13th but you – YES YOU can watch it tomorrow Friday Jan 4th online – for free.

Fox will post the pilot episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor ChroniclesYahoo! for 24 hours beginning Jan. 4 at 9 p.m. PT/12 a.m. ET. The commercial-free premiere will also feature an exclusive introduction by star Lena Headey (Sarah Connor).

Is this an indication that Yahoo! actually is Skynet? HA! I sure hope that Yahoo! has provisioned enough bandwidth for this event…i’d also suspect that bootleggers and pirates will find their way to swipe it off Yahoo! once available and you’ll see Sarah Conner Chronicles all over BitTorrent too. Hopefully it doesn’t detract from the official broadcast launch on Fox. WE NEED THIS SHOW. The SciFi genre Needs This to be successful…too many SciFi TV shows have died…let’s hope this one has a longer life span.
