Yeah, TSCC is a separate timeline. So say Zack and Ash.

And I think the "Skynet sent Cameron" thing is a Clue. Cameron obviously has her own agenda; it's possible that she actually comes from a "post-future future" --one after humanity has been crushed. I think that Cameron's job is to be a third faction in the Connor/Skynet war. She could lead to the creation of a Skynet that can coexist with humanity.

Definitely, the book is awesome and way better then the movie.

But still not as good as Roughnecks.

Very interesting idea, would certainly be cool to see how that pans out, but I still think the voiceover is just crappy QC.

Ew, is the movie industry REALLY that desperate?

Did you see the "300"? If they can put a seven foot tall Xerxes on the screen then they will do anything they like. They are really reaching these days.

Technically, every mission in the entire Terminator...set of timelines has been bound for failure. Simply given the fact that T2 and 3 happened, we see that the future was merely moved, and not changed.

Thusly, don't be surprised if "The Sarah Connor Chronicles", as we see them, now, end with Sarah succumbing to highly agressive cancer.

So, I guess...T4 could still be based in the same timeline as SCC. I dunno.

Hey, 300 was bad ass, and Xerxes was supposed to be inhumanly tall cuz he was a "god" king, but the Terminator movies just keep doing the same thing over. and over. and over. Kill terminator. FAILED. kill terminator. FAILED. kill terminator. FAILED. @_@ *keels over and dies* please, stop feeding me the same story over and over, it insults my intelligence. Those films got old after T2, and T3 just plain sucked. You know the movie industry is getting desperate when they start making sequels to everything that's already been made. It's just sad.

The same thing can be seen in the music business. Bands remaking old classics. They sell because the origionals were so good you could distort them and alter them and the message still gets through.

I like T:TSCC, it has interesting characters, has enough action without having an explosion every other scene, and it's not another gorram reality show. Having Summer Glau in it is just icing on the cake. Lena, Thomas and Brian are starting to grow on me. I'm hoping for a second season at least.

Although I like sci-fi, some shows just didn't interest me, mostly because I couldn't find any characters I liked. Loved Firefly, TOS and TNG, hated Andromeda, BSG, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager.

Seems like folks could just watch and enjoy sci-fi without picking it to death about what happened in the movie, what's gonna happen in the next movie or why aren't all the thousands of details we knew about the previous Terminator stories exactly the same. Starts sounding like Andrew and Jonathan arguing about flawed Death Star designs.

music is one thing, and some remakes of songs don't sound anywhere NEAR as good as the originals, though I'll admit I like a SELECT few *is not a bob segar or beatles fan, but is a metallica and aerosmith fan*
movies aren't the same. so what if it gets the message across if all it does is repeat the same thing the last prequel said only shittier? thats what the T movies did. and the shrek sequels. and some other sequels i cant think of right now. all they are is a desperate attempt at keeping the characters on the screen, even if it means doing a horrible job. that, and there isn't ANYTHING new out there that they HAVEN'T done thats worth doing. @_@ *keels over and dies again*

I hate temporal mechanics makes my head hurt. When you take Sara and John in the pilot and jump to the future, well he wasn't there for t3, he was assumed dead. The timeline problems been around since the first movie, if they stopped it from happening John would never have been born. Take that with time travel things change. Sit back let loose with your suspention of disbelief and enjoy the ride.

PS if your not watching please WATCH JERICHO, its awsome and has a Fireflyish history, last nights 3/4/8 episode was one of telivisions best this year in my humble opinion.
