‘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.

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.
