Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Thread

Which is why I called it misleading rather than inaccurate, because 1) the scene wasn't even in the original release and 2) the line in that added scene is a reference to when he ORIGINALLY said it in the first film. Not to mention that the message wasn't even really from Kyle to Sarah but from JOHN to Sarah, with Kyle as the messenger.

The article makes it seem as if the line originated in T2, which is misleading.

 

I hope your right Quest, because after finally catching up on the previous season and getting into this one, I really hope Fox doesn't pull the plug. The final few episodes of this season were amazing!

 

I have no interest in Dollhouse. I'm sure that show will get the axe. Terminator has a good chance. It's hung in there so far. The flying effect of the prototype Hunter Killer looked very good for the budget they are on. I'm looking forward to seeing more hunter killers in the future for next season. It looks like the show may coincide with the Terminator Salvation Timeline.

 

Dollhouse is OK...but TTSCC is a much better show...

If a season 3 does happen....I wonder if John will have to send Kyle Reese back in time to protect him....that would be really interesting, Not being able to tell Kyle that he is Johns father.

 

I'm fairly sure that if Season 3 happens this future is going to be the future in which John Connor never existed, and in which he probably WON'T end up doing the stuff we know of Future John doing. That'll happen after John goes back to the present and lives through Judgment Day post-series.

 

Yeah, I know, but depending on where in the timeline he is...

I wonder if he will have to force the action so to speak....

What if John creates his own legend? Quite a paradox....

 

I will be a sad panda if TSCC is not picked up for a 3rd season.

 

You can be a bear of one sort or another. I will be something else, beyond mortal comprehension.

TTSCC has just ended here in the U.K., and I think it's been a surprisingly good show. I hated the idea of it when I first heard about it, but the writing has been surprisingly non-formulaic, the characters strong, and the acting serious and free from knowing winks to the audience and self-parody.

I hope it comes back for a third season.

 

It's occurred to me that if the show ends now, we'll have no idea how it fits into Terminator continuity. Sigh.

 

I've always figured that every time someone travels backwards or forwards in time, it fundamentally screws up everything that happens after that. I've also never bought the 'grandfather paradox' of time travel, that if you go back in time and do something that would prevent you from going back in time in the first place (like killing your grandfather before he has kids) that you'd cease to exist. That never worked for me.

As such, it seems to me that with all the many, many time travelers that have been sent back (and forward) that the Future War doesn't in any way nowadays correlate with the original Future War, which saw a non-prophesized John Connor rise to the head of the resistance after Judgment Day in '97, and sent back one single man at the moment of victory to fight one single robot. By the point of TSCC, the future has been so screwed up so many times over by so many different people and machines that every possible future in every story has, at some point, been the one true correct timeline, including T3, TSCC, and Salvation.

 

It doesn't. McG said that while he loves the show, he couldn't properly intergrate it into "Salvation", since TSCC aired weekly while his film was shot and done with over a few month period. Basically it's like what happened with the Highlander franchise. The third film was made and released while the series was on television, but they had different storylines. And were set in different continuities.

If you don't like "Rise Of The Machines" and "Salvation", then "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" is the official continuation you can go with.

 

As he puts the finishing touches on Terminator Salvation, McG is already looking ahead to the next chapter in what the studio hopes will be another trilogy. "I strongly suspect the next movie is going to take place in a [pre-Judgment Day] 2011," McG reveals. "John Connor is going to travel back in time and he's going to have to galvanize the militaries of the world for an impending Skynet invasion. They've figured out time travel to the degree where they can send more than one naked entity. So you're going to have hunter killers and transports and harvesters and everything arriving in our time and Connor fighting back with conventional military warfare, which I think is going to be [jolly] awesome. I also think he's going to meet a scientist that's going to look a lot like present-day Robert Patrick [who famously played the T-1000 in Terminator 2], talking about stem-cell research and how we can all live as idealized, younger versions of ourselves."

No.

Why is he spoiling the second movie before the first one is even released?

Oh, and it sounds kind of stupid...
