Ok, I knew it was coming but still it hurts. Definitely not as much as realizing that Firefly would not be back, but…just damn.
For those of you who thought that the Sarah Connor Chronicles was about a whiney teenager and his bitchy mom, just watch the last 6-7 episodes of the series. It was the best SF work I’ve seen on TV since Firefly. And yes Summer was perfect, but so was Thomas Dekker. The scene where he confronted Jessie was riveting. Me thinks we will hear more from him.
Since the “impossible” has already been done, I have no real hope. But if Terminator Salvation can go over $250M domestic gross, you would think some network may want to give this series another shot. Since there is a good shot that Terminator Salvation will do $250M+ domestic, my guess is that the two storylines just don’t mesh well.
I would have sacrificed Dollhouse for Sarah, but after the last 2 episodes, I’m glad it’s back. Alan saved the show. The hunt for Alpha should be a thrill. Much better than waiting for Sylar to pop out of Nathan.

Not to say Dollhouse is perfect, but I think Terminator had a major flaw right out of the gates in being that it was called the Sarah Connor Chronicles and therefore the writers felt a need to focus on Sarah (such as midseason with the odd '3 dots' story line. The creator came out and said that they're goal was to focus more on Sarah with those episodes).

The character of Sarah Connor already had on of the greatest transformations between T1 and T2. If this show had taken place between those two movies, then go right ahead and focus on her. But between T2 and T3 we needed to see John become a leader and Sarah be the woman from T2 that you wouldn't want to mess with. That's why, IMHO, the last few episodes were so great because they focused more on John, who was the most interesting character at that point of the Terminator timeline.

All i have have to say is, any sci-fi show that's half good on FOX, get's cancelled, look at DARK ANGEL, and FIREFLY, and now TSCC. If it cut's into there "reality" or 'comedy" shows like, Lost, COPS,SIMPSONS, or anyother, they cancell it, this is a vicious cycle, and any and all sci-fi show's are not safe, including DOLLHOUSE, hate to say it, but FOX is killing off any good shows, look how close DOLLHOUSE came this season, IT'S NOT FRACKING FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But on a lighter side, i read on fan fiction.net, a TSCC story where Cameron and the Connor's make FOX exec. pick up show, for a laugh, but you'll have to look for it, forgot it's name.

I think you meant mediocre ( as in middle of the road , less than spectacular)

Mediocre! Mediocre!? How the hell do you extrapelate that course, it was not Mediocre, TSCC was the best thing FOX had, and because it took viewers away from there other "Reality", hah! relity my arse!, shows they decided to kill it off. TSCC was saving FOX, just like FIREFLY, and DARK ANGEL, and how do they repay it, KILL IT FRAKING OFF! It was not Mediocre by a long shot, it was quite possibly the best friday night show, is that, Mediocre, NO!

Not everyone thinks it was great. For me, TSCC was hit and miss. A few really really brilliant moments scattered throughout pedestrian writing.

I can't compare that to Dark Angel or Firefly, both of which were consistently brilliant throughout most of the first season. (Dark Angel sorta lost its footing in the second season, but regained it at the end.)

The thing about TSCC, is it showed character development, you had to watch every moment, every movement, every sing little detail to understand whats going on. That is what i like in a job, i like to whatch the characters grow, change, and morph, that is one thing i liked about DA, and about FF, you had to watch it, every little bit, another reason why i liked Star Trek Voyager.

I think that is why TSCC got canned, studio execs obviously don't think we viewers can think, probably because they cant!

Also a lot of bitching from the movie fans didn't help either.
Having seen Terminator Salvation might clear up what idiots were calling "plot inconsistencies" between the movies and TSCC.
The whole point of the 3 movies AND TSCC, is every time they try and influence the future, it changes in an unpredictable way.
A Butterfly Effect if you will.

Shiny! Let's be bad guys!

MSA was not calling TSCC mediocre, she was referring to the way you misspelled the word in your thread title.
