I think it's a good show too, but sometimes, like when Shirley Manson comes on, it looks like VIP. She's such a "gimmicky" character too. There are a million people out there who could have done a better job with that, but she got the gig because she's "famous" (even though most people probably don't know who she is).

Prediction: there will be an earthquake this season. That whole bit about Cameron knowing the exact middle of the house and being able to sense it sinking meant something.

Did anyone else get a weird "commercial" at the first break? Something about UofC "Media Sense", and some woman talking about the show and Greek mythology and how Cameron is Artemis and that kind of high-falutin' blather? This was on FOX on regular Shaw cable.

And one highlight of the show was that clip of the movie "Cromartie" had been in. He says something like "I knew this jungle beared sweet fruit" to that chick, and then the stock footage of the tiger -- the whole thing was hilarious, and absolutely dead on to those corny Saturday afternoon shows. I think Cromartie might be Johnny Drama.

I laughed at Cameron's house sinking scene, I practically yelled out, of course the house is sinking, you weigh like 800 pounds.

I missed the first episode of this season and dvr'ed the next two but haven't watched. What's the consunses? is it worth watching still? will have to find the first episode online I guess if i do watch it.

It is SO worth watching this season. Especially the first episode.

bigtmac19 · 09-30-2008, 06:50 AM

Holy Cow, another awesome episode and completely unexpected. This show is great!

NSFL · 09-30-2008, 01:19 PM

So, Cameron was pretty much created to look like one of the resistance to infiltrate John's camp? I missed parts of the episode so I'm kinda lost. Why does Cameron have Allison's memories then?

Bring_Back_Shantz · 09-30-2008, 01:30 PM

I don't think she has her memories.
I don't think the flashbacks were Cameron's memories, just backstory for the viewer.

Cameron would remember interrogating her and a glitch may have made her associte with the person she was created to mimic, all she really knew was her name, where she was from and POSSIBLY her mother's name, all of which she got from the interrogation.

Or who knows, maybe she does have her memories.

I agree with you, and the memories looked like they were pretty much from the Cameron point of view, not the Allison point of view.

I like Ellison investigating Weaver, but is the kid another Terminator, or someone that she snatched off of the street?

The best episode so far, and wow can Summer Glau carry a show all by herself or what?

The only thing missing was the butteroil massage scene between Alison and her new friend.

I have flashbacks that you and I were altering the script of season one as well, words like Sarah, mudfight and Cameron come to mind.

I was seriously disapointed that Cameron did not kill that Judy character.

You lied to me.

Terminate.

CaptainCrunch · 09-30-2008, 03:55 PM

I like to call it genius script writing, my girl friend likes to call it a cry for a serious restraining order.

I almost think that it was better that she didn't kill her, she just completely screwed her over instead.

Its the former. Also, in one of the previous episodes, all the I love you John stuff was just Allison screaming. Neat.

Fox close to terminating the show???

From a blog:

With ratings far below even the network's worst predictions, Fox could pull the plug on production for "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" as early as this week.

The network has been disappointed by "Sarah Connor's" numbers so far this season, and some executives feel that the show is dragging down numbers for "Prison Break," which airs as a lead-out. "Audiences just aren't responding to the show," a Fox source tells SyFy Portal. "Our biggest surprise are the 18-to-49s [a key advertising demographic], those numbers are in the toilet."

http://www.syfyportal.com/pagetogeth...id=5418&page=2

Dragging down numbers for PB? I will admit that I watch PB, but Prison Break couldn't hold a candle to TSCC. Not to mention they matched it against Monday night football and wrestling, right? What a joke.

One positive note for the series is that the report for the week of September 7th has come in and Sarah Connor was the third most DVR'ed show of the week. The overnight ratings do not include these numbers, so it helps boost the overall viewer count.

If Fox kills another great show after it killed Firefly, I swear I will not watch another Fox show ever again.

bigtmac19 · 10-06-2008, 06:05 AM

That would suck!!
I really enjoy this show, don't watch Prison Break or MN Football.

CaptainCrunch · 10-06-2008, 08:25 AM

And I thought that Prison Breaks ratings had dropped because Prison Break had jumped the shark.

JiriHrdina · 10-06-2008, 10:03 AM

Don't blame fox. Blame people for having bad taste. It's proven time and time again - people simply don't like good TV.

GGG · 10-06-2008, 11:19 AM

Another issue is that the audience for that show is the most likely to PVR, Download, or Wait for DVD and watch it all at once. As well the football/wrestling demographic is also probably a big part of the market for this show as well.

I know that I don't watch anything but Sports live anymore and even with sports I might start half an hour behind so I can fast forward through comercials.
