Sarah Connor Chronicles

As most of you likely already know, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has gotten the “green light” from Fox for a second season. Fox announced this on March 20th, so I apologize for being so late to most this important news. As of now (to my knowledge) we don’t know much about Season 2, other than that it’s planned to continue with what Season 1 would have been had there not been a writer’s strike. We also know that Fox has ordered 13 new episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles for season 2, though it is possible that it could be expanded if the second season does well in the ratings.

I’m sure you’ve all been wondering, as have I; will Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles be renewed or canceled? Well, we simply don’t know yet. There is yet to be an official word on the issue from Fox. However, things are looking good for Sarah Connor Chronicles Fans. There have been multiple rumors that the show will be returning, and though we haven’t heard anything solid just yet, I believe it is highly likely the show will return. It’s had solid ratings throughout the season and will most likely be picked up for Season 2. If the show is renewed, the producers intend to continue the 1st seasons storyline into the second season as it would have happened had it not been for the writing strike.

If anyone has any information on the status (renewal/cancellation) of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, feel free to comment.

Episode 3, The Turk, of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles aired last Monday. The show seems to be on a decline in viewership, this time fetching #3 for the timslot (one rank lower than last week) and #4 for the night (same as last week). There were over 8.6 million people who watched it, so even though it’s less than last week, the show is still going strong.

Everything below this may contain episode spoilers. If you have not seen the episode yet, you can download it here.

In this episode, Sarah tries to track down the future creators of Skynet, which leads her to Andy Goode, a cell phone sales man, who works on a computer named “The Turk” in his spare time. Sarah does not want to kill Andy, though Cameron thinks he should die; instead, Sarah sets fire to his house in an attempt to destroy The Turk. In the meantime, John and Cameron visit their new school. For reasons I’m unsure of, a girl is pressed to commit suicide; John wants to save her, but Cameron insists he does not. While all this happens, Cromartie is rebuilding himself with a new formula for synthetic skin, making him more humanoid.

After watching the episode, I was confused on a few things. What was it in the door that the girl at the school found so devastating that she killed herself? Is it relevant to the plot at all? In previous episodes, how did Cromartie’s head travel through time - or, for that matter, how did Cameron? Perhaps this is obvious, but why did Cromartie take the doctor’s eyes? It appeared to me that his terminator eyes could do the job based on the screencap at the end.

That’s the brief summary. For a more in-depth review of episode 3, read it here. Download the episode here if you missed it. And, as always, feel free to leave a comment.

Once again, American Idol has returned as the nation’s most popular TV series, though there are about 4 million viewers less this year than last. When the 1st episode of the show aired a few weeks ago, it had over 33 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. The show american idol is one of the most popular of all time because it gives the little guy a shot at true success. While there is only one American Idol winner each year, oftentimes the top three can also get recording contracts, while still providing those who don’t make it to the top with a memorable experience.

To give you an example of just how bad some of the auditions are this season, see the video below:

While it’s always fun to see some of the worst singers in America, I think we’ve had enough of that in the past couple weeks. I’m personally looking forward to hearing some real music very soon. There is some real talent out there in America, and it’s ready to get discovered. The next episode from American Idol will air February 5th and will feature auditions from Atlanta, Georgia. American Idol has a very loyal following; for those of you who watch Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, do you watch American Idol as well?
