sarah connor chronicles in real trouble

There's a rather frightening article about the future or lack there-of of SCC at www.syfyportal.com. It looks like we may be losing yet another superwoman related broadcast network series.

BW was micromanaged to death by NBC suits. If SCC has any serious flaws, they are most likley being made by the show's producers. Fox does not own SCC, Warner Bros does.

Personally, I think the Sarah Connor Chronicles is one of the worst tv shows I've ever seen.

It's an insult to the intelligence of your average Sci-fi watching viewer, and a complete insult to the strong franchise that is Terminator.

All in all, it's an embarrassment, and doesn't deserve to be on the air.

This show doomed itself right out of the gate with season two's horrible excuse for a season opener.

Two hours wasted with a damaged Cameron trying to kill John Conner (yeah, like you're really gonna kill off the only character who truly must live for the future to be preserved). And when John finally manages to wrangle the chip out of her brain? He miraculously "fixes" her by wiping it with a dirty rag. While riding in a van. Geesh, maybe he must have blown on it too, like I used to have to do with those old Nintendo game cartridges. That always seemed to do the trick.

And the second episode was no better. An hour wasted just so they could kill off whats-his-name's wife. Big frickin' do. It didn't even make sense logically. Sarah knows that the big bad Terminator is after John, and that if it succeeds in its mission, it's "game over, man!" So when the dude starts whining from the back of the van to slow down or his wife will die, what does Sarah do? Hmmmmm, she thinks -- "Keep driving in an attempt to save my son, who is the only hope of the future... or stop the van so this insignificant woman who's bleeding all over the back seat might have a chance at living, even though it means my son might die (and ergo, the Terminators win). Guess I'd better stop the van." Yeah right. The Sarah I know would have punched the accelerator up to 80mph.

I don't see this show being renewed for a third season.

It would be an interesting spin if they do kill off John. We all know from the move John is the hero of the future war, but who says it is this John C. Who says the hero of the future is not some idiot that took his ID.

At the end of T2 everything looked like it was safe. Then T3 (as called crap) came and judgment day still happens from a changed time line. So maybe in that changed time line it is not the same John C.

Oh well. Just an idea. Not saying it good or bad, but it is an idea. One that I'm sure Fox would not think of.

I think they concentrate too much on John being the 'future hero'. The timeline has been changed so much it's no big deal anymore. There are lots of others running around who know about the apocalypse. Also John's mom has protected him too much. And do they really think there won't be another 'hero' (worldwide!) to take his place.

Anyway the show could be better but I would miss it.

I like the show too. Yes, it could be better, but the same can be said about just about everything else I like.

The Hollywood Reporter and various websites are reporting that Fox is giving SCC a full season 22 episode order. Just wanted everybody to know that.
