‘The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ comes to Syfy this spring

News, Television, , , , , ,

Hot on the heels of The Science Channel acquiring the rights to air Joss Whedon’s Firefly, the Syfy network intends to bring back another cult favorite program axed from network TV prematurely. Syfy will air all 31 episodes (spanning 2 seasons) of the ill-fated FOX show Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles starting Thursday, April 7 at 9PM. After its cable premiere date, TSCC will air Thursdays from 7PM to 11PM–that’s right, the station will air 4 one-hour episodes back-to-back every Thursday. Intense stuff. Though the show got off on shaky ground, it quickly found its feet towards the latter half of season one and its shortened second season made for some really great TV. If you missed out on its original run, I highly recommend checking it out on Syfy this April. By the time the series finale rolls around you will be begging to the powers that be for more. Sure it’s set in the Terminator universe, but the show distances itself from the movies by expanding on familiar names (read: John and Sarah Conner) and introducing new and exciting characters (Summer Glau’s Cameron and Garrett Dillahunt’s Cromartie). Plus a TV movie may be in the works, so you’ve got to prepare for that.

Brian Austin Green talks about potential Terminator:TSCC comeback

Article, News, Television, , , ,

IGN sat down with actor Brian Austin Green to discuss his new role in Smallville and his past role as Derek Reese in the brilliant and greatly missed Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles series.

I talk to [Sarah Connor Executive Producer] James Middleton all the time and I really hope that it returns. And I know that a lot of people from Warner Bros., all the way through, really wish and hope for the same thing. And the end of the day, we have some of the greatest fans ever. I so appreciate the people that are fighting as hard as they are to bring the show back. And of course, I would love for it to happen. Ultimately, if it doesn’t, I’m also really proud of the fact that we have two amazing seasons of television on DVD and Blu-ray, that people can watch from start to finish. I’m proud of every episode. I can watch the whole thing and say, “Yeah, I was a part of something that was really big and really much bigger than television is used to.” Maybe it just wasn’t the right time… But everyone did their work and it paid off. It’s because of the fans that it went two seasons, it really is. So it was a joint effort and it was kind of one of those sort of fun, global crossovers between us making the show and the fans watching the show. There was this really large group of people that made it happen and we made two amazing seasons so far. Let’s hope for the best and keep our fingers crossed for more… And if not, we can still be happy with what we have.

Green also talks about the possibility of a straight-to-DVD TV movie that ties up loose ends from the Season 2 finale.  Like Thomas Dekker (he played John Conner) said before him, Green said that “there’s a really good possibility of it happening.”  He goes on to say “I thought we really set ourselves up for something unique and incredible, if we get the chance to come back and finish it. And hopefully we will. .. I think it can end up being a really amazing finish to it all.”  I whole-heartedly agree.  Raise your glasses, readers:  here’s to The Sarah Connor Chronicles making a well-deserved comeback to network TV!

The Sarah Connor Chronicles back for more!?

News, Television, , , , ,

The nail has not yet sealed the coffin for fans of the Terminator: TSCC series.  Star Thomas Dekker (who played John Connor) revealed that the show’s producers have been discussing a TV movie that will bring some closure for those who were SO dissapointed by the cancellation of the promising-turned-brilliant series.  Dekker: “They’ve spoken about doing a TV movie.  Well, not a TV movie, but kind of like a direct-to-DVD movie.  Obviously it’s difficult because the show is based on a movie and they just had one come out, so it’s kind of hard to make a movie with our show because everyone has kind of forgotten about us.  They’re hoping, at least when I spoke to (producer) James Middleton that’s where they are with it.”

Dekker is very mistaken to believe that fans of TSCC have “forgotten” about the show.  IGN puts it so appropriately: “the wounds are still fresh in the fanboy world.”  A TV (or direct-to-DVD) movie or any type of additional footage would be a dream come true for fans and I look forward to hearing more about this in the near future.
