Ok heres the dealio. I was surfing the internet today looking up miscellaneous stuff when I remembered this site.

Looking at the news I can't find jack squat promoting Summer's new show: The Sarah Connor Chronicles in these threads. Lets remember what happened to Drive with Nathan Fillion. Fox cancelled it in 4 episodes, let's not let them do that to this show.

The two night premiere begins tonight on Fox Sunday, 1-13, 8/7c
Monday, 1-14, 9/8c

If you miss any episode like tonight's, watch it at Fox.com.

I know all of you hate fox and some may have banned all fox programming from their brains, but hopefully, you can tab this as a special circumstance. I really hope this show takes off well.

Here are some of my favorite SCC promotion pics

I'm watching Gapsule ( by the way, welcome to the site! ).

It's great so far! Summer is doing her usual stand out job!

I hope lots of other Browncoats are watching in support. :-)

So far, it looks like this is going to be pretty interesting. They threw a major ret-con in (Sarah doesn't die of cancer), but did it in a way that makes sense. The writing's a bit choppy in places, but that's to be expected.

On another happy note (at least for me) Dean Winters, a favorite of mine plays Sarah's ex-boyfriend. Glad to see him finding work after Oz.

Thanks for the welcome!

Personally I prefer Tim Guinee (Tomin from Stargate) as Sarah's boyfriend. He was in the leaked pilot, but for some reason they replaced him. I liked how desperate he looked without Sarah. My favorite part was when the camera pans out as he is watching Sarah on tv.

For me, Dean Winters just doesn't fit the role. Dean looks too buff and the tattoo doesn't help the character either. I always imagined that Sarah would go with someone much different than Kyle, less soldiery.

In retrospect, I must be pretty pissed that they replaced Tim.

Wasn't a bad half-pilot. Looking forward to the next half tomorrow night. It isn't the best show on TV but it was far from the worst. I like it. Summer is really hot by the way. Like anyone even needs to say.

P.S Should add that while not the best on TV it is by far the best show on Fox since they canceled all of Joss' shows.

I enjoyed it, too. I was surprised to be on the edge of my seat a few times. Also impressed with Summer, of course.

I'll definitely try it again tomorrow night.

As a huge fan of the movies--the first two, anyway--I really enjoyed it. No, it wasn't perfect (not sure how much I'm gonna like Lena Headey), but I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's ep. Hopefully the "Terminator" name recognition will be enough to draw in enough viewers to keep it around for awhile.

DG, the 'retcon' seems to be that they're throwing out T3 and making this an alternative sequel to T2... which I don't mind a bit. T3 had it's good points (Nick Stahl and Claire Danes were great), but there were definitely better alternatives to the post-T2 storyline than what they went with...

Saw SCC and I really liked it. Definatly watching tomorrow night. It was good to see Summer kicking butt.

Guess what's on FX right now? T3! I guess F#*X is milking the Terminator genre for all it's worth.

Actually, I think in this case, FOX won't be yanking it off the air after a handful of eps. They have nine eps of their 13 ep order done before the strike, so this'll be on at least until March. Plus, they've been marketing the Hell out of this. I mean, Terminator is a big brand name. It's not like FIREFLY, where you have a mash-up of genres, no stars, and a complex plot to sell to a brand new audience. Everyone knows TERMINATOR and what it's about.

So if anything, this'll be one FOX sci-fi show that WON'T get the shaft.

As for the show itself, I saw the pilot over the summer. Not bad. Not exactly sure how they can sustain it, though. Is it going to be a Terminator of the Week kind of thing? I can see it get old really quick.

I gotta wonder about Summer, though. With this and FIREFLY/SERENITY, I can see her start getting typecast as the asskicking girl. I know that's what made her famous, but any actor will tell you that they do get tired and afraid of being typecast. I hope with this writer's strike, that maybe she'll branch out and maybe do an indie flick or a comedy, or just something she's never done before that shows off a different facet of her acting ability.

That's my big wish for all the BDM's. That they're not typecast into just doing the same old shit over and over. That they branch out and do different stuff.
