Currently in development for FOX TV is a pilot/possible TV series called The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which follows the events after the Terminator 2: Judgement Day movie. Lena Headey (300) has been cast as Sarah, while Thomas Dekker (Heroes) is playing the teenage John Connor. The series is produced by Mario Kassar and Andrew G. Vajna, who were producers of the Terminator films.
This should be interesting--according to the producers, they're also making a 4th Terminator movie, and this series will somehow connect to that movie, as well as provide links to the 3rd movie, Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines.
-
Firefly's Summer Glau and The Nine's Owain Yeoman are both signed up for the pilot.
-
The pilot is already available. Any thoughts?
-
Just finished watching the pilot. David Nutter (Traveler) directed a very suspenseful pilot. Although Lena Headey could not live up to Linda Hamilton's intense incarnation of Sarah Connor, her take on the character is more suitable for the medium of television.
Firefly's Summer Glau and The Nine's Owain Yeoman are both signed up for the pilot.
When these two started kicking ass, I was euphoric especially for Summer since she's underused in The 4400.

Not a fan of the Terminator movies pero whoa! May sumabog and barilan in the first five minutes? On my TV screen? I'm sold! ;D Felt big-budgetted for a TV series. Hope it delivers.

It was acquired by Solar. I'm guessing it'll probably be on Crime/Suspense in the very near future.
-
i just saw the first 2 episodes. the first episode is really good but i didn't like the second as much
-
Seen this at MAXXX's "The feed" and I'm not impressed, The only Endo Flick I know is Terminator & T2: Judgement Day :)
-
im also hooked in this series ...out na ba episode 4, kc bitin na.....
-
what is it with james cameron sequels, that hollywood has to botch up a perfect sequel with a lame-o third arc. i.e, t2: judgment day with t3; rise of the machines. aliens with the downer alien 3.
now they come up with this series to further confuse the terminator mythology.
-
I was able to watch only the un-aired pilot episode. Did they remove the shooting scenes in the school?

Agree with T3 but only that it was unnecessary. Other than that, it was an OK piece of work by Mostow. The chase scenes there are the kind of action eyecandy I like. There's a real sense of danger. Makes Michael Bay look like Baldo Marro. Kinda wished Schwarzenegger played the villain though. The first Terminator is still the best of the bunch. T2 was a little overproduced.
Alien 3 though I keep recommending to everyone who ignored it. David Fincher got crucified for this by geeks planetwide but I personally think he didn't deserve the flak. Flawed for sure but well worth a rewatch, if only for that sense of dread. Interesting script by Vincent Ward, who made the terrific and underrated time travel adventure The Navigator. Parts of it I like far better than both Ridley Scott's and James Cameron's Aliens.
-
A handsome John Connor and a very beautiful Sarah Connor (and she's getting more lovely every episode). :)
-
this begins airing at c/s and rpn tonight at 9pm, for anyone who's interested.
-

The classroom shooting scene was shown during the premiere last Monday.
Ohnga, nag-time travel pa sila (Sarah, John & Cameron) from 1999 to the present...doon nawalan sila ng damit (just as in the Schwarzenegger Terminator movies) . What a treat for fanboys.

Kelan kaya lalabas ang DVD nito? I'm not particularly fond of watching TV series because of advertisement interruptions.. >:( >:( >:(

i've asked my 7yo kid to remind me tonight, we both got hooked when we saw the pilot episode last week. ;D
-

Well hopefully the BD version would be out soon but in case you are in the vicinity of Pasig, my wife is returning to Manila sa first week of June with her 500GB external drives filled with new HD contents.. You may bring 3 blank DVD-Rs at my place sa Pasig and I'll copy you the 9 episodes...free...spread the high def blessings kahit papaano..he he he
Cant wait for the 2nd season. Hopefully it comes back kahit medyo mababa rating towards the end of the 1st season.

No problem but to maximize the high def experience, you have to be patient not to watch any episode until 8 June, then marathon the entire season1 in 720p ;D ;D ;D
-
thanks bro ;D

Is this still connected to T3? Wasn't it set around 2004? And this series is on 2007.

From IMDB FAQs ;D
How is Terminator 3 related to this series?
It isn't. Sarah Connor Chronicles will be a reboot of the Terminator universe's continuity, starting from where Terminator 2 left off. Series creator Josh Friedman says that the reason for this is that Sarah Connor is a vital component of the series, and her absence from T3 was a major factor in fans not taking to it. He describes SCC as an alternate timeline.
-
in the trilogy, T3 was supposedly the first re-appearance of a terminator from the T2 timeline.
John was way older ion T3 than in the current TV series
-
this one is also coming to axn this april 8.
-
After watching the pilot and the discussion about Dyson, I was wondering: Why would killing one man (John Connor) destroy the resistance? He can't be so special that someone won't just take his place. Heck, if killing the man who created Skynet does not stop Skynet from being built, then surely John's an even less vital person than that.
Oh, and they shouldn't have been able to carry Summer on to the chair when she was knocked out. She should weigh a ton, regardless of her size.
But I liked the first couple of episodes. The action's good. And I wanna see where this goes.
-
That's Brian Austin Green?! :o Forgive me, I haven't seen him since Beverly Hills 90210.
-
Does anyone here know the rerun skeds of the show on C/S?
-
i know the monday episodes get replayed fridays. if you want to see it from the beginning, see earlier post.
-
Oh, and they shouldn't have been able to carry Summer on to the chair when she was knocked out. She should weigh a ton, regardless of her size.
Exactly. Also, I don't get it how can Cameron act very human when she first met John. Then after revealing that she's a Terminator, she's suddenly robotic. If she's an upgrade and has that ability, why not use it always? Anyway, I just try to ignore these.
I hope they start Season 2 very soon cause I'm hooked ;) Great season ender IMO

Yup, this one, too. I understand it's a bit of a misdirect for the viewers but wasn't it already heavily promoted that she was going to play a Terminator? So don't get much point in that.
But yes, these are nitpicking and over all I like the series.
-
I've watched until the 3rd episode...it's been great so far, except for some inconsistencies: if Cameron acted like a regular schoolgirl in the Pilot, managing to fool even John, then why does she act all robotic in their new school?
Thinking about time travel hurts my head...and while the gang's leap to 2007 seems possible, won't they run into their future counterparts living in that era?
-
im finding the storyline getting too convoluted for my taste, too many terminator models running around . i dont know if it's just me but there seems to be too much talk rather than action, and if you thought about it, because of the 2007 jump, there should be 2 john connors running around. i need a pen and paper to explain really.
-
Following "conventional" rules of time travel, there will be no "future" John and Sarah in 2007 because they never go back to 1999 (was it 1999?).
But if, for example, their trip to 2007 was only temporary and they go back to 1999, then, 8 years later, they might see their "past" selves running around in 2007.
It's hard to explain, hope I made some sense.
-
This one's pretty good. The last few episodes really picked up the pace.I never thought I'd say this but Lena Heady gives Linda Hamilton a run for her money as Sarah Connor. Iba yung appeal ni Lena, my gash. Summer Glau's great too. Even though she's playing a cyborg, her grace and fluid movement really shines through. Advantage talaga yung ballet background niya. Looking forward to next season.

there's no future john and sarah because they literally jumped to 2007 from 1999., meaning, they skipped the years 2000-2006. much like being transferred from the first coach of a train to the third without going through the second coach. something like that.
but, if i follow your second example of them going back to 99 and move forward through time, isnt it safe to assume that the future they left would now be what you call a different timeline. ang gulo no?

From Comics Continuum: (text with spoilers was removed) ;D
"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.
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."

Possible that the other one becomes an alternate reality, yes. A universe where every possible change/decision, branches off into a different reality with all possibilities existing side by side. But usually, in time travel stories, people stay in the universe they left/went to. Where changes they make in the past affect future events. Otherwise, it becomes less satisfying from a story telling point of view if things don't eventually show results of past actions.

Garbage's Manson Joins Connor
Shirley Manson, leader singer of the pop band Garbage, has taken a regular role next season on Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Scottish musician will play Catherine Weaver, the chief executive of a cutting-edge high-tech company, the trade paper reported.
Sarah Connor Chronicles is returning for a second season in the fall after launching in midseason as the highest-rated new scripted series of the 2007-'08 season.
It stars Lena Headey as Sarah Connor, Thomas Dekker as her son, John Connor, and Summer Glau as terminator Cameron Phillips.
-
season 2 started mon night!! watch na!! :o

Yup,
Shirley Manson of Garbage sporting her trademark orange hair is on the first epsiode of Season 2. She's not only a CEO of a high tech company.. She's something else.. ;D
-
just watched the first episode of season 2.. hehe
john connor has a new look.. and from the looks of it, just like christian bale's hairstyle in the new terminator movie's teaser. ;)
-
Just saw the second season opener last night.
This show continues to get better and better. And nagulat ako kay Shirley Manson, not having read any casting news for this season. I had to rewind to the opening credits to confirm that it was her.
And the ending ROCKS.
Available na ba sa Astro yung first season nito? Who's the distributor ba? I wanna buy. You hear me, corporate goons?! I WANNA BUY!
-
season 1 will be released by Warner. dunno when though.

I know that thread :( Like I said, none of the promised titles are on the shelves. Yet.

Wow, I really thought Summer Glau was out for Season 2 :-[
-
Somehow I knew they weren't getting rid of her so that entire part held no suspense for me. Just wondering the entire time how they were getting her back again.

Were the Connors gone when he arrived at their apartment? Cause he had a lot of time writing on the wall ::)

Fox recently announced its midseason schedule and Terminator along with Whedon's new series Dollhouse are now earmarked for Friday timeslots. This is the infamous Friday slots. Shows on Friday usually get bad ratings so there's a big likelihood Fox wants to, uh, terminate Terminator. Too bad for Whedon, a promising new series is put on a bad night again. Can't Whedon see that Fox keeps f ucking with him?

Also read about this pre. Ganyan talaga. Nakakainis but as they say that's show business.

dapat pala ma wrap up na nila agad ang story and finish it in 2 seasons na lang... bigyan na lang sila ng FOX ng statement na no more 3rd season para matapos na nila in 2 seasons assuming they havent finished filming it yet.
-
Right now, one of the best reasons I tune in to TSCC is Stephanie Jacobsen. I love how she looks and that barely concealed Australian accent.

Ano ba yan pre, pareho tayo ng type sa mga chicks!
-
Hehe, oo nga. That means we have to share. :)
Bad trip lang, there are no good pictures of Stephanie on the net. Dang, I love her accent so much, it's not a thick provincial accent, just enough inflection to really make you want to listen to her.
Time to take a cold shower.

Loved the episode Some Must Watch While Some Must Sleep. Didn't see that coming ;D
-
oo nga eh. maganda yung episode na yun. tsaka i didnt know na 1st kill pala ni ms. connor yun :)

That ending was ambiguous. We still don't know what happened. At least that's what I tell myself. :)
-
But we all know the truth ;)
Regarding the John's offer to the T1000, does that mean their race is not completely working with the machines? :o
I wonder if there's any truth to the theory that Weaver's plan aren't really for Skynet.
-
@indie boy
yup yup. abangan ang susunod na kabanata :)
@RNIverson
Ms. Weaver could be trying to reverse engineer skynet so that it will learn according to her will. para siguro ma control niya ang machines in the future?
-
That scene between Jessie and Derek in the last episode was electric. And the song that played while Jessie was running away from Derek was so perfect for the scene. The song's New Messiah from Dead Heart Bloom.
The link below's for the free download of the song:

-
I finally caught up with the current episode over the weekend. I've been reading a bunch of comments on other sites and one of the theories bouncing around that I find intriguing is the possibility that Weaver's plan is defeat and replace Skynet with a more developed robot faction.
BTW, any ideas who this "brother" could be (the one with the terminator blueprints)? Cromartie/John Henry perhaps?
-
its becoming a three-way fight na. i think ms. weaver is trying to reverse engineer the cyborgs so that she can have her own army.
-
That ending was ambiguous. We still don't know what happened. At least that's what I tell myself. :)
Can we now confirm this with the jacket? :P
-
Sorry, still ambiguous to me -- especially since Jessie wasn't even wearing a jacket during that pivotal scene. She was wearing a plaid shirt.
And unfortunately, we might never know because it looks like there won't be a third season.
-
Next week's Born to Run might be its series finale then :'(
-
Yup, looks like it. Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker and Summer Glau all want a third season but chances of it happening are quite slim at this point.
-
Kick ass finale. ;D Several days after first watching the episode, it still lingers and makes the first two movies even better. Hehe... ;)

It's official: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been um, terminated.
FOX has announced that the show has been cancelled. A snippet from Entertainment Weekly:
"[Sarah Connor] has completed its run," Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly confirmed at a press conference this morning. "I think it had a nice little run. It was a good show. It was not an either or [with Dollhouse]. We did see it tailing off a bit [in the ratings]. It had a nice creative core, but, ultimately, we made the bet on Dollhouse, so that's it for [Sarah Connor]... We make no apologies. We gave it a lot of support and some consistent scheduling. We tried and thought it was time to move on."
Wow, talk about an arrogant, lame announcement. Maybe J.J. Abrams should've handled the franchise...

What can one expect from a company whose bread and butter is American Idol?
Likewise, with Terminator: Salvation opening next week (if it hasn't already), won't it cause viewer fatigue on their part?
Right now, one of the best reasons I tune in to TSCC is Stephanie Jacobsen. I love how she looks and that barely concealed Australian accent.
At least Stephanie can still use her working visa in Melrose Place...she has just joined the cast of the relaunched 90210 spin-off along with Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.
-
sayang naman na it got cancelled...
-
FOX! Darn it! Every series I love they cancel: Firefly, Arrested Development, Dollhouse.
Don't you dare cancel Glee!
