[Cancelled] Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator Series)


Recommended Posts

Tim Guinee was only in the pilot. They replaced him with Dean Winters and re-shot his scenes for episode 101.

No!!!!!!!!!

I refuse to watch this show. :pinch:

If Skynet was smart it would just send itself and the Terminators back in time... easy work with no Connor interference. Not enough juice to do that, then send more than one Terminator to kill Connor. Some computer, you can take over the world but cant kill one person. Hell you can even kill the boy's mother's mother's mother. "Nip it in the bud" - Barney Fife "Nip it! Nip it! Nip it!"

The conundrum of time travel in this instance is... why go back while John Connor is alive? Why not go back and kill Sarah Conner as a baby? Or her parents? And so on and so forth :p

the farther they go down the family tree the higher the % of having adverse effects on the future would be.

Maybe those 2 will get it on :p

Nudity = Ratings!

lol If only this were on Sho rather than Fox.
I didn't mind it, and maybe watch a couple more episodes.

It wasn't bad, but it didn't have anything spectacular (other than Summer) about it either. I did enjoy the brief tie back to T2.

Anyone else catch the continuity issue set up by the series? I had to double check the dates, but I was pretty sure they

The events of "Terminator" happened in 1984, and T2 happened 10 years later which would be 1994. In T3, the events take place in 2004 (July 24). Which we know, at the end Judgment Day still happens.

When SCC starts they are in 1999. After the bank vault they go to 2007. That's three years after Judgment Day. :p

Are they pretending that T3 never happened? I wish I could.

That was written into the Terminator storyline before this series.

Here's a spoiler if you don't know it already, and be warned its pretty major John builds it

That IS a BIG spoiler... OMG I am Spoiled :(

I think (based around discussions when this was first anounced) that yes, they are ignoring T3. The T3 storyline will continue in the films though...

yeah, haha.

Although technically if some paradox theories are to be believed its impossible to change the timeline in any way, they could send back zillions of terminators and somehow something would prevent them from killing him/changing the timeline, this is shown in the first/second film how sending back the terminator ends up creating itself and sending back Reece ends up creating John.

I'm looking forward to this on virgin 1, tho yet again the UK has to wait months for it. I really don't understand why they still do this given how rampant TV piracy is.

yeah I thought T3 was pretty decent, even if it was a bit of a rehash of the previous ones. I was actually pretty shocked at the end when they did actually just blow up the world.

But machines wouldn't care. They're going back to kill John Connor, right? Why not doing it more effectively by catching Sarah Connor as a young girl? Meh, it's not a big deal really, just one of those things that are overlooked and really don't matter, unless the person is all about consistency and taking all possible angles.

First off all how the heck would something like that get leaked already?

Second why the heck would he build it and why would the machines try to kill him. It would only prevent them from ever being built in the first place. :huh:

That's like a double WTF.

Also it does not make sense unless you completely forget about the third movie.

Thats because it didn't leak from the series. It is in the books that were published around when T3 came out. If I remember correctly, he wanted to build it as an anti-machine network, because Judgement Day is inevitable, as he knows. It becomes Skynet.

Very simple to answer your other question: Skynet gets built no matter what. The machines figure if they kill John, someone else will build. Whether its the original creator, or the government, or someone else entirely.

But machines wouldn't care. They're going back to kill John Connor, right? Why not doing it more effectively by catching Sarah Connor as a young girl? Meh, it's not a big deal really, just one of those things that are overlooked and really don't matter, unless the person is all about consistency and taking all possible angles.

Going back to kill Sarah before John's birth is Terminator 1.

Going back to kill Sarah before John's birth is Terminator 1.

I know, but the question is, why go to a time when she can fight? Why not go further back to when she was a child? When her parents were kids? And so on and so forth. It's not worth the discussion and just like with Heroes, there are certain elements that can be overlooked for the sake of enjoying what you're seeing.

Hopefully Virgin 1 will go widescreen before this is broadcast (HD wouldn't be bad either - at least on VOD if not broadcast)...

Well, as much as I want to say I hate it to you guys, I can't. But I do think it wasn't thought out very well. Especially the time travel bit, which almost ruined it for me.

I usually don't even watch the networks, so this is rare for me. Of course, no commercials for me, I just DVR it and skip the annoying things.

I'm curious to see what the ratings were, inside I hope they were bad so they will cancel it, so I won't have to watch anymore, lol. But outside I'll say that I'll keep an eye on it.

Ratings are in!

Led by the prime-time portion of the Giants versus the Cowboys on the NFL Playoffs (which was beneficial to the series-premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Fox steamrolled past the Sunday competition. The NFL Playoffs averaged an approximate 37.27 million viewers and a 14.5 rating/36 share among adults 18-49 from 7-8 p.m., leading into the debut of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles at a hefty 18.29 million viewers and a 7.6/18 in the demo from 8-9 p.m. Needless to say, Fox dominated from 7-9 p.m. Next was Family Guy at an above-average 11.50 million viewers (#3) and a first-place 5.6/12 among adults 18-49 at 9 p.m., followed by American Dad at 8.56 million viewers (#3) and a 4.1/ 9 in the demo (#2) at 9:30 p.m.

You know that sounds good but don't forget Bionic Woman also launched to double figures and see where that went.

Bionic Woman was also terrible, and didn't have 24's timeslot. And it doesn't have a pairing with Prison Break for four weeks.
