They do have a point.

But gadgets are too 'nerdy' and 'smart'. Middle america hates smart. They want boobies and gunfights.

*continues to underestimate the viewership*

Oh no, Wired did NOT just say that about Shirley Manson! :shakefist

Bitchin' knife, though. I wonder if they've got one that comes in a broadsword model...

Has been? wtf... 2 years off doesn't make you a has been...

I know the article is clearly just an attempt to show off/ advertise cool stuff, but yeah... heheh.

I can cope with SCC ending, but this season has been getting better so I hope it doesn't get short and they at least get to give it a proper conclusion.

Oddly enough, the Connors thus far have been using mostly analog gear — screwdrivers, shot guns and cleavage — to infiltrate Skynet.

I stopped reading there. The Connors do not use cleavage to infiltrate Skynet. Hell only ONE of the Connors has boobs (Sarah) and she doesn't have much in the rack department (don't get me wrong though, she's still hot as hell!). In fact this show hasn't been about T & A which is a GOOD thing. It's also not about gadgets, which again is a GOOD thing! Why? Because gadgets are about technology, which is exactly what they are trying to stop.

This article was nothing more than a lame attempt at trying to show off the latest crap that no one can yet afford, disguised as worring about a TV show.

Which if it's true that Terminator is on the verge of getting the axe, I REALLY hope that the writers get advance notice to make a proper finally. This show is just WICKED AWESOME, and I would hate to see it go. Although we are talking about FOX here, which is known for dropping shows in the blink of an eye.

I'm still too pissed about SCC being dropped to even give a **** to read this. :shakefist

 

[StriderXXX]

all they need is Megan Fox in the nude and the show is saved for a few more episodes...:thumbs:

better yet...throw in Robocop or a Peter Weller in there and the fans will go NUTZ for a Terminator vs Robocop showdown in the future...:castlerock:

 

[Conan-san]

Guys, this was done the moment it was on FOX.

Some good news from IGN!

Terminator Gets Full Season Order
The Sarah Connor Chronicles will continue.
by Eric Goldman

October 17, 2008 - Rejoice my fellow Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles fans - The show has just been given a full 22 episode second season by FOX.

The future had been looking rather bleak for the series, in the wake of less than stellar ratings for its second season, and there was a lot of uncertainty over it going beyond the initial 13 episodes ordered this year. In fact, some reports absolutely insisted the show was over and about to wrap production permanently, even as news came out that two additional scripts for episodes 14 and 15 had been ordered.

In FOX's originally listed schedule for this winter, Terminator, along with Prison Break, was not included – both shows were scheduled to take a break, as 24 returns to FOX in January, to be paired with Joss Whedon's Dollhouse on Mondays. The Reporter's James Hibberd speculates that one factor in FOX going forward with more Terminator is that Dollhouse had had some creative struggles and could be delayed.

However, he then goes on to say that the most likely reason for the pickup is simply that FOX executives feel Terminator is creatively a strong show, and has a chance of improving in the ratings in the second half of the season - When American Idol returns, the network's overall ratings always get a boost.

Of course, Terminator continues to air in an extremely competitive timeslot, and many fans -- myself included -- have noted that the show could possibly benefit by moving to Wednesday nights at 9:00, after Bones.

The good news is that regardless of what night it airs, we'll at least get to see the full season play out.

That's definitely some great news. Thanks for passing it along.
