Sad...

Was continually improving , and someone should pick this one up and continue it...

At least give us a special movie or miniseries to wrap it up .

Hopefully , Summer will get more opportunities to stretch and give life to interesting characters like Cameron , or River , again .

Personally,not bothered at all.It was slow,clumsy and muddled ina lot of places.And its not like we didnt know what the outcome would be.A concept that was flawed from the very beginning.A wsste of a good few hours of my life unfortunately.Perhaps now Summer can turn her hand to some actual acting again coz she can be quite good at it, as we all know.

I have to respectfully disagree with you, Peacekeeper, in that the show had promise and was presenting some excellent ideas. Was it perfect? Even a TSCC fan like myself can admit it was uneven and the character usage skewed in odd directions, but I think some excellent opportunities for storytelling have been lost, though I recognize Warner Bros. and Fox's decision as business and not something truly malicious.

For me, I think Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was faced with the same problem the Batman spinoff Birds of Prey did a few years back: licencing fees and being tied to a myth-rich storyline that affected independent creative growth to make it more difficult unless a Smallville direction was taken (i.e. basic facts kept but a lot of changes otherwise),

I admit that towards the end of the series it got a little more exciting.However,it just took a long damn time to get going.Some episodes were just a snorefest.It waes just sheer stubbornness on my part to keep watching.I started so I had to finish.The trouble is that we all know that Skynet wont be stopped,we all know that Sarah will die of Cancer and we all know how the story ends.So,what was the point.Th whole idea of storytelling is to create some form of suspense.But you dont get that when you already know how it ends.That is what I meant by flawed.Im glad it gave you some tv heaven,but unfortunately,it wasnt for me.Plus the fact,Shirley Manson was just AWFUL!!!

I found her first appearance hilarious. I mean, she turned herself into a toilet for frak's sake. What if the guy had started to go? Would've been one angry Scottish robot.

Sad but expected. I think they made their first error with the title. If they had called it something like "Terminator: The Summer Glau Is Sexy As Hell And Kicks All Kinds Of Ass Chronicles" the producers might have had a better focus on the important aspects of the show.

I'm glad Summer is free to get a real job. Though her rendition of a sexbot will be missed. That would explain John Conners love for machines.

Yes, Arnold Schwarzenneger Kennedy becomes ze president.

That's the real purpose of the Terminator franchise for the Nazi New World Odor.

You don't really think Hollywood runs on democracy, do you?

Trivia: Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone predicted Arnold would become governor of california, then president of USA, and that "Scott Peterson" would be in a california prison for murder. The real Scott Peterson's trial defense was censored by the media mafia, that his wife's killer was in a Satanic cult, just like Arnold at Bohemian Grove's Necrophilia Room in Monte Rio, CA. Now Governor Arnold wears a Nazi belt buckle and wants to close CA prisons to sell them for condos, then release all the killers, rapists and robbers, since he bankrupted the state. Not to mention amnesty for all illegal aliens, including Arnold.

For the record, this is the third fracking awesome sci-fi show FOX has f..d. And the second from the mind of James Cameron, it started in 2002 when Fox cancelled that little show that in a way kick started Jessica A;ba, what was it DARK ANGEL, oh yeah FOX us DAer's keep the dream alive! The next being our very own cult, classic/ fracking awesome hit, FIREFLY. And the last behing TSCC, the last two being Summer Glau shows. FOX has made a big fracking mistake, frack FOX, i'm not watching any show from them again, i mean cops is on g4, and the simpsons are stale, said my peace, rant off!

FOX SUX! Kepp the DA, FIREFLY, AND TSCC dream alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No idea when they come out, but it can't be long now, it was, GULP *SNIFFLE*, can, (deep breath), cancelled not long after STARGATE ATLANTIS ended, and the seson five dvd's came out last week.
