1:15 As established in T1, Time Travel does not effect current time line...it creates an alternate Timeline. This is shown by the very fact that John of the future existed after the first Terminator was sent back. If Time Travel effected current Timeline, John would not have existed to send Kyle back.
Fox only cares about viewers of the original episode’s air date, when in 2008 people’s viewing behaviors were changing. People were saving up episodes to binge watch or skip commercials and they only looked at ratings of the original air date and DVR viewings, only 1 week after original air date. Not a good judge of if a show should stay or be canceled. They only cared about ratings to get more commercial sponsors money.
Clayton Courtney ---Their system was flawed. They only looked at original air date and DVR 1 week after original air date, for ratings. People stopped watching live TV around that time. Sure ,some people who were over 50 back in 2008 probably watched live, but that wasn’t the shows key demographic.

Right Season 3 could have been about Sarah Failing to Stop Judgment Day and John Slowly becoming the Leader of the Resentence, and answer what happened to Cromartie with Cameron's Chip go.
Loved this series, Lena Headley killed it as Sarah and was a good follow up to T2. The series ending was so emotional, John meeting his father was so touching.
She's phenominal here and gets to show much more range than she got in GoT. Always a shame when someone so talented gets put in a role that was ultimately beneath her in the end. She was great when they had the books for source material but they had Cersei staring out a window the last few seasons.
@@milosstojanovic4623 I liked T3 too, but I understand why other people don't. It lacked the unrelenting dread of the first two and almost felt like a comedic spinoff. Sarah Connor Chronicles was amazing. The mental stress John Connor was obviously buckling under really brought back the darkness of the original movies.
I agree with the SCC being underrated, and it having good ideas, probably even better concepts for a story than any movie sequel in the franchise, but damn it was bleeding from many inconsistencies that wouldn't allow it to be a direct continuation of T1 and T2, starting with the overused "him/her/it came back from the future" when in the movies it've been clearly stated that Skynet used the time displacement device as a last desperate attempt when it knew it have lost the war. Well that and it also was stated that it used insane amount of energy. So once Skynet used it, the resistance used it and that's it. BTW it was incredibly selfless of the resistance to try to prevent Judgment day because with that, a whole bunch of them would never been born. Beyond that don't even get me started on Derek and her future soldier-gf both looking like fashion models when in the future people supposedly starving. And having the "secret base" in the future being a cellar door in the middle of nowhere sticking out like a sore thumb. With stuff like that they made Skynet seem incompetent and less of a threat. As for directing the show it was peppered with issues like only remembering the mass of a terminator when it was used for a gag or for a cool move in a fight scene. BUT With all that being said, the themes the show was touching upon and the concepts they explored with it, like John Henry and if Skynet or another iteration of Skynet is inevitable or not were great, and did worth the watch for those alone. I have became a fan despite the issues above and it annoyed the crap out of me when FOX once again dropped the axe on a show that was just starting to get enjoyable. In retrospect SCC cound stand on its own merit, especially when you are willing to view it as a separate entity from the movies, sort of like having an alternate timeline spin on characters and concepts we knew from the movies.
Totally was. I loved this back in the day. Actually makes me want to watch it again. To think Lena was virtually broke after this show, before she landed the Cercei gig. Just as great a performance i believe. And this show tied in with the original story.
@@ressljs if you take out some of the more goofy scenes, then Terminator 3 is just as serious as the first two movies. The movie ends with a nuclear holocaust
Fox doesn't like sci-fi shows. The Sci-Fi genre just isn't profitable even when it has the same amount of viewers as lets say a sports game. So much more products can be advertised to people watching sports compared to people watching Firefly or Terminator Chronicles.
@@TheMsLourdes Screw that show, I never even watched Dollhouse. But Dark Fate also stank and should never have been made. They should have saved up the budget money to do another season of SC Chronicles instead.
They missed an opportunity for a joke. Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor at the time of the show. John and Sarah could have seen a news clip of Arnold as governor, and been like "O.M.G." and Cameron would say, "oh he is on our side."
Perfect example of how much expensive action can be effectively told by showing just enough and leaving rest to imagination. Music pick was beyond perfect for that scene.
Agree 100% I always thought so. When that scene first aired I was like wow, this is as good as it gets. Such emotion in that scene. There are a few scenes throughout the show with similar impact. Such as the scene when Sarah is being arrested at the end of the show
One of the most interesting storylines I think they would have explored in future seasons and it was complete genius: the existence of the "anti-Skynet Skynet faction" that was run by Weaver in the future. That would mean she had free will and somehow determined a future with Skynet wasn't what she wanted. It would have been interesting how that dynamic was going to play out.
This Series so underrated. Summer Glau is awesome and the events make sense without too much exposition. A must see if you are a Terminator fan. Cam, Sarah and John Conner have great, personality and the chemistry among the 3 is perfect for a series.
@@KristannaLokenFanclub I like them both but Summer Glau seems like a better fit for a series format. She had some moments in the series that made you wonder if she really was developing emotions or not. Kristanna kicks ass as a terminator but to keep a series alive you need more than just kicking ass.
This is probably the last tv show I watched regularly and I was sorry to see it end. The part where Brian Austin Green got shot in one of the last episodes was impactful as heck.
I loved this show. Watched every episode the day it aired. It was far superior to any of the movies after T2. Oh and Summer Glau was H-O-T and absolutely terrifying as Cameron.
"Why do flamethrowers in this movie roar like a cheetah?" Spoken like someone that have never built a small flame thrower. When you are pushing napalm out of a120-300 PSI nozzle with a quarter inch back blast shroud they tend to sound like that. It is actually way more realistic than most flamethrower sounds, nearly all of which are added in post.
@@CSM100MK2 Well darn, I'm so ashamed now that I totally can't have my Summer Glau sex robot and be happy banging it all day long. Thank you for being the arbiter of what is cool/morally acceptable, I don't know what we would do without you. I've seen the error of my lecherous ways and I only hope I can be as alpha Chad as you some day, but I fear me and my sex robot are just too pathetic to ever achieve that.
I was shocked and pissed when I found out this was cancelled. I was SO enjoying it, and totally looking forward to season 3, after the S2 finale. Such a shame.
As I recall, the relationship she was developing with the kid of the woman she'd doubled was an interesting subplot (hadn't seen the show since it aired, so maybe not remembering it right).
I decided to give it a shot due to my love for the first 2 films. Man was it a love letter and continuation of that timeline. The series holds up as a justifiable sequel. And, Summer Glau was just a major component for me to watch. Utlimate crush.
It did, but honestly its a miracle it even got a full 2nd season order, so im grateful for that its a miracle it got 30 episodes even. But still yeah definitely ended to soon regardless.
Yeah, me too. I have watched that series a half a dozen times. Wished they would have kept going at least a couple more seasons. I wanted to know what John did in the future.
@@l.pricetag.5207 she was only a guest star on Arrow for 9 episodes. Plus, my comment was a joke because I have liked every show she has been in and they all get cancelled pretty quick. It could also be called the JayDay curse for that reason.
@@jayday545 Ah right fair point. Edit: I haven't really seen Arrow since the first three seasons and i barely remember them. I just knew that Summer Glau was in them and that they had 7 seasons.
Emilia Clarke had the misfortune of being miscast. Or maybe the movie was written wrong and her acting was fine. Either way, Genisys sucked. It’s too bad. Production values and cinematography was good.
Rewatched it on Hulu this month. That ending keeps me thinking to this day, wishing what would of happened if they continued into a 3rd season. It was way better than T3 T4 & all the new movies after that
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was a good action drama series. I became a fan of Summer Glau because of the show and I became an instant fan of the series after watching the pilot episode. Summer Glau was born to play Cameron.
I literally did the same thing. Refused to watch anything coming from fux after that. They replaced this show with a bunch of reality shows and Glee. I never could understand why fux would green light a show knowing full well that they had to put a lot of money into sfx, then bitch about having to put money into sfx. The following season they green lit a show called terra nova. A show about going back in time to live on the earth during the time of the dinosaurs. When I saw that, I knew it wouldn't last because sfx. It lasted less than one year. I ended up catching a couple of eps online and it was a show about dinosaurs.... without dinosaurs. Growing up when my brother and I would get really loud in the house, our mom would tell us kids should be seen and not heard. Well in this show, dinosaurs were heard but never seen. Networks anymore try and find the shows that get them the quick buck but even the most popular shows e.g. Friends took some time to get their feet wet and find their grove but anymore they never get that chance. Ether you are a hit out of the gate or you are out the door.
I did exactly the same, Fox was dead to me after TSCC, final nail in the coffin of them taking on excellent sci-fi shows only to horribly mismanage and then cancel them.
If im not mistaken,that was the ep with the guy in the weelchair..man those episodes were dark,thats one of my favourite.The 2nd one when she lost her memories and remembers how the original girl gets killed.Brutal.
That terminator also helped people build city, he even become mayor if am not mistaken than he wanished I only wonder how their skin survived for so long shouldent rats eat it of? This shoe had many cool things thst all new T movies still lacking
@@mikcnmvedmsfonoteka He buried himself into the wall wait for 80 years. His appearance at right place at wrong time killed the guy who was supposed to build the building that was his mission target, so he had to build it himself. Also his mission was to kill the governor of California, that was possibly something that was meant to be Arnie cameo. They just couldn't schedule it to happen. T:SCC was a high profile tv-show shot in California in time when tv-productions were fleeing to cheaper locations like Vancouver. Skin was an oversight in my opinion as well. Just put a zombie make up on actor.
Great show. The cliffhanger at the end of the 2nd season got me so hyped, I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I hoped for a while that Netflix would have picked it up to continue it. At that point they had really just started their Original Programing, and they already had the two seasons available for streaming. It seemed like a good fit.
I remember watching this show being 16 and having a major crush on Lena and Summer, first time any female characters in a show or movie made me feel anything like it. It's kinda ironic Lena played Sarah before GoT and then after Emilia Clarke took over, and sadly I don't think she fit the role. Lena had that strong motherly protective presence that could be intimidating the same way Linda managed in T2, she did so in GoT too. Emilia fit the role of a "shy princess-like girl slowly growing more cynical of the world" far better than being intimidating the same way Lena made Cersei appear at every moment. Anyway, to get to the show, it was a shame it was cancelled, understandable, but a shame. It'd be nice if it returned but I feel at this point many of the actors who made it great might not be able to return or not return in the same capacity (being older now), though perhaps technology is reaching to that point you can make them look just like they did 2008. Either way I doubt any kind of movie can revive Terminator, they've tried with so many and imo T3 and Salvation are better than the ones that came after. Atleast T3 dared to stick to the end (actually having Judgement Day be unstoppable and witness it) and Salvation exploring post-Judgement Day story, rather than rehash, reboots and retcons with new timelines. Maybe in the future we can get a series like this as I think series for many beloved movie franchises is the way to go, not more movies.
Sarah's cancer and the year 2011 creates immediacy and a true deadline. But my favorite part was not "destiny" but rather SkyNet's origin took many roads. IP, subcontractors, etc. Which one will actually invent SkyNet? So much about its origins the resistance did not know.
Brilliant symmetry in the storyline. The alliance which fell apart on the nuclear sub is patched up at the end, with Cameron representing humans and John Henry the liquid metal guys.
I loved this show! The casting is inspired, but who can forget the sheer terror that Shirley Manson brought to her character! It was always a puzzle to me that this show didn't get the appreciation it deserved.
Loved Mason's performance and the nebulous direction they were taking her character as a T1000. She may have had very different goals than either her mission or even Skynet as a whole. The show was just so rich with details it always left me guessing. T: SCC is proof that any follow-up to T2 should have been in the form of a show otherwise like the last movie illustrated (Dark Fate) they'll just have to tell the same story over and over again.
Two words, the same ones that killed Firefly, and the Adventures of Brisco County Jr. Time slot. Same with Futurama. They premiered the pilot right before the football season that year, on a Sunday, and put it in Monday night, at the same time as WWE Raw, and Monday night football. That and Friday between 8 and 10 PM, are known as the timeslot of death. Mainly because people go out on Friday or Saturday night, Monday, most of the adult Male audience is watching football or wrestling. Had it been a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, it may have done better.
@@ronn-ammon8975 They've redone the storyline so many times that I've lost count. I mean in order for the Chronicles to work, we have to ignore that Dark Fate has John Connor killed off!
Damn, I remember how hyped my brother and I were when this show was on the air. We were so disappointed and confused when the show got cancelled. Glad ya cleared this one up! 👌
I was a fan of this show and one Friday night ready for a new episode when it was suppose to air it was just gone no warning. I couldn’t believe such a good show was just gone like that.
Yes screwed by FOX except without FOX we would have neither. Yes FOX did show the wrong episode as the pilot but that was basically the only really wrong thing they did. They did not, as people say, always preempt it for sports, they promoted it just as much as any other show. The first episode of Terminator: TSCC had 18 million people watch but the every next night that went down to 10. The rest of the season was in the 8's. So it got a second season. The second season started at 6+ and ended just below 4. People have to realize that ratings drive shows. I loved both Firefly and Terminator:TSCC but if it looses people FOX can't just keep paying for it because "I like it"
Terminator 3 had some good points to it, like all the cool Robot tech, but yes Sarah Connor Chronicles was so much better, plus Derek Reese was kind of a badass.
Terminator rise of the machiens is one of my favorites. i think it gets so much crap because its not T2. you cant catch lightning in a bottle twice. T2 i would argue is superior to the original. Also the reason the flamethrower makes that noise is because its so hot its turn the air into plasms. and it sounds hella cool
This nails the reason for the demise of the show: Deterioration of the script-writing. Toward the end, everything went way out into left field, not making much sense. So MUCH potential, squandered!
I’ve watched this about 4 times now and it’s brilliant, especially the 2nd series. It’s got an x-files element to it, with mystery & intrigue. Definitely deserved a 3rd series...
I still remember after the series ended on such a crazy cliffhanger how there was a huge campaign to save the series with online petition, cast said thank you to the huge fan base calling them the revolution tk stood skynet, and even a billboard on a truck asking people to save the series. Funny thing is, I'm watching nightmare on elm street thisnminute with the actor who plays john conner.
This was arguably one of my favorite TV series. I was definitely intrigued about where it was heading. I thought it was laughably amusing though when they considered killing off Sarah early on. How do you call a series "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" after you've killed off Sarah? Wouldn't the Sarah Connor Chronicles then be Sarah rotting in a grave six feet under? But messing around with time is never clean, side effects you never considered always seem to happen. And OMG, I so loved Summer Glau's character. I loved the story arc where we find that when everyone else is asleep she goes to the local library and reads old newspapers to find activities from other Terminator time infiltrators so she can stop them. It's been too many years for the original actors to come back I think, many would not look at all like they did back then. And replacing them with new actors would not have the same vibe that the original crew had.
Can I tell yall a secret. I was way too young to watch the first terminator so my Dad let me watch the 2nd one. I cried so much when he went in the lava. he was like a hero to me. always protecting John. then I watched the first one. and I was blown away. the first Terminator is a ruthless monster worse than the cop in the second one even with his liquid metal.
Every aspect of this show was phenomenal. I can’t believe they canceled it and even more I can’t believe another network didn’t pick it up and continue.
Probably because Fox is so greedy they won't subcontract the license so someone else can legally film a new season of Chronicles... But I've given up on Fox and haven't watched their channel in several years.
@largol33t1 FOX Didn't cancel it. FOX renewed it. Warner Brothers canceled it. The budget was approximately 750,000 per episode. Warner was using it as an advertisement for Salvation Day.
Common sense says put your most expensive shows on the most watched nights and make cheaper shows for the ones who are actually home on Friday and Saturday. But nah. Put a show on Friday when the college crowd is not home. And make it expensive. Meanwhile, no more family and old people shows with cheap budgets on Friday and Saturday.
One of the things I enjoyed about the show was how they touched on that people, and Terminators, were coming back from alternate futures. They did it so much better than Dark Fate.
No question T2 was the best sequel of all time. I still remember walking out of the theater in 1991 thinking that exact thought. It was mind blowing. So perfect and so completed the terminator story arc.
That cliffhanger final episode DESTROYED my young disappointed soul. The future war episodes were magnificent. Did Fox do the same thing with Kings? Or was that NBC?
@@fasih_rehman That depends if they had a plan. The way they set up finale things could end up absolutely amazing or a real dog*t. Bigger budget would be required, this is what I'm sure of.
@@nateman10 When you say it like that then yes that is an interesting avenue to go down. But ultimately one of the reasons for killing the series was that it was creating a disjoint with the movie universe.
@@nateman10 My feelings as well! There actually kind of was a resolution to the cliff hanger - sort of - in the plot of the never made sequel to terminator salvation of all things. Basicly it turns out that skynet DID make another Marcus-type half human half terminator. Unfortunately, unlike Marcus, THIS hybrid was made from a mass murdering serial killer who promptly took control of entire sectors from skynet and forced it to end its war against humanity, to make peace with mankind, and even serve under John Connor in the war. The image of chromed out flesh free terminators fighting and living with the humans is intoxicating in its awesomeness and potential!
As John's other female protector in the series (the first being his mother), the multi-skilled chameleon, Summer Glau, proves to be the series' greatest asset. She brings considerable emotion and depth to what is...essentially...a robot. "What's a robot doing, showing emotion and depth?" you may ask. Good question. Summer Glau continues to impress and show off her incredible range, bringing so much more to this role than one might expect. Just with her eyes alone, she conveys SO much. Her deadpan delivery of lines is what oftentimes provides the most laughs in the series, while her relationship with both mother and son taps into the heart of the series. Here we're presented with this machine...but what if there were more to it than that? Whilst she's regarded as one of the "heroes" of the series, Cameron never lets you forget what she was built for. Equal parts chilling and heroic, Cameron is an integral part of the show.
At the time I liked how this series could potentially achieve what all the Terminator films after Judgment Day couldn't. Lena Headey was an interesting choice to build on the role that Linda Hamilton created. Happy 40th Anniversary for the Terminator universe.
This was a fantastic tv series and I was incredibly disheartened that it was so unexpectedly cancelled, especially as the story ended on a complete cliff hanger.
I think that was part of the draw of the show - no offense to Arnold but having a beautiful Terminator played directly into the projected age and gender group for the show.
Nothing was better than T2 but I hate that everyone shits all over all thr terminator movies after it. It's the reason we're most likely not ever going to get another one. I liked watching all the terminator movies that came out because I loved the story, whether it made sense or not. But all the whiney people have to crap all over them hurting the image.
Saying Terminator 3 is worse than Genesis makes me wonder whether I've taken crazy pills. T3 was not good, but ok for a mindless popcorn action movie. Genesis raped the franchise, when the theme came on at the end I wanted to cry.
@Samhain Returns That was something studio added to tv- and video-releases of The Terminator to credits against Camerons will. To avoid a costly law suit.
TSCC remains the only terminator media that truly captures the feeling of T1/T2. I know there is no way it’ll ever come back , but I do hope we get something like it in the future.
i loved this show so much, i just binged it in 1 week,,,and i was in disbelief when it ended :( it was so dam good. I wanted to see more in the future!
Judgment Day could have been delayed by their actions but its happening for real now with what Tesla has cooking up etc. Skynet is literally here now in 2020.
Whoah there segal. Not only is T3 an epic masterpiece of the difficulties of mega movies but it really gave American men the greatest gift ever....a hard hitting introduction to the fascinating Kristanna Loken
@Don't Tread On Me Wow, so much better than anything after T2. It's not perfect, but lore wise, some very interesting concepts were being played with. Really wish they didn't scrap it. The show creator should tell us what would have happened later on. They will never remake it and give him a chance to tell it.
going from a huge muscle builder as a terminator to a cute little girl as the unstoppable force of power just doesnt work for me. I know she is a machine in all but its just a little comical at best to see her throw people around all the time.
태선우TaeSunWoo aside from the cliffhanger season two ending Wish they’d pull an “SG-1” and make a movie length finale to wrap up the storyline a bit neater...
They would have to resurrect it with young actors. Learning Cameron is based on the girl Connor met in the future and had turned herself off (essentially) kind of makes it hard to bring her back in. I am not sure the fans would accept a middle aged Summer as a resurrected Cameron, so new actors would be needed. Like everyone though, I wish FOX hadn't cancelled it.
Underrated and underappreciated, and sadly we'll never know what happens to them in the end. Clearly, what the fanbase wants to know the most is how John becomes the leader, how his relationship with Allison and later Cameron develops, and why did he send Cameron back to protect him. Answers we'll never get.
I'm convinced that John sent Cameron back in time to save him from himself. in truth--I don't think John was ever really gonna be savior and I think he knew it it--too much suffering, too much death, too much destruction.... both sides had already lost.
SCC was amazing There's also Terminator 2 3D: Battle Across Time which was made for the interactive experience (which is no longer around) at Universal Studios. While short, it's a great look into what James Cameron might've done if he made a third film that followed the events of T2

@@TheMsLourdes Screw that show, I never even watched Dollhouse. But Dark Fate also stank and should never have been made. They should have saved up the budget money to do another season of SC Chronicles instead.
Remember that show Jericho? I was a fan of it but they cancelled it. It continued in comic form but not even sure if the comic completed the story.
Some fanfics were written after.
@@DarkAngel2512 How do I access these fanfics?
This show had sooo much promise. One of the few shows where I bought the DVD boxset, it was so good
you heard him he wants you to hit him as hard as you can.🤣🤣🤣
They missed an opportunity for a joke.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor at the time of the show.
John and Sarah could have seen a news clip of Arnold as governor,
and been like "O.M.G." and Cameron would say, "oh he is on our side."
😂
Not only that, one show featured a fictionalized California governor. Schwarzenegger could have played himself! An opportunity lost...
That's genius brooo 😂😂
I'm pretending this is canon now.
👍🔥
The hotel fight set to Johnny Cash was absolute art.
One of the best sequences in anything ever.
Perfect example of how much expensive action can be effectively told by showing just enough and leaving rest to imagination. Music pick was beyond perfect for that scene.
And the final scene of Cromartie leading to the church. That was awesome.
Agree 100% I always thought so. When that scene first aired I was like wow, this is as good as it gets. Such emotion in that scene. There are a few scenes throughout the show with similar impact. Such as the scene when Sarah is being arrested at the end of the show
One of the most interesting storylines I think they would have explored in future seasons and it was complete genius: the existence of the "anti-Skynet Skynet faction" that was run by Weaver in the future. That would mean she had free will and somehow determined a future with Skynet wasn't what she wanted. It would have been interesting how that dynamic was going to play out.
That scene where Swat tried to take down Cromarty - coupled with Johnie Cash music was awesome :D
This Series so underrated. Summer Glau is awesome and the events make sense without too much exposition. A must see if you are a Terminator fan. Cam, Sarah and John Conner have great, personality and the chemistry among the 3 is perfect for a series.
please remain calm when a girl's head is through your wind shield your just in shock.🤣🤣🤣
Ah you’re a person of culture for talking about this. Cameron was best Terminator girl
Best of two
Well.. yes, but also no
Kristanna was a better terminator
@@KristannaLokenFanclub I like them both but Summer Glau seems like a better fit for a series format. She had some moments in the series that made you wonder if she really was developing emotions or not. Kristanna kicks ass as a terminator but to keep a series alive you need more than just kicking ass.
Exactly. From time it first aired my PC's windows name is always T-CAMERON.
This is probably the last tv show I watched regularly and I was sorry to see it end. The part where Brian Austin Green got shot in one of the last episodes was impactful as heck.
Me too. I did watch the V show for a while, but not as consistently as TSCC. v_v
I loved this show. Watched every episode the day it aired. It was far superior to any of the movies after T2. Oh and Summer Glau was H-O-T and absolutely terrifying as Cameron.
why do flamer throwers roar like a cheetah?🧐
"Why do flamethrowers in this movie roar like a cheetah?"
Spoken like someone that have never built a small flame thrower.
When you are pushing napalm out of a120-300 PSI nozzle with a quarter inch back blast shroud they tend to sound like that.
It is actually way more realistic than most flamethrower sounds, nearly all of which are added in post.

Truly an absolute shame! A unique wonderful show
I actually cried for 2 weeks 😢
Holy cow, I had totally forgotten that Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson was in the second season. She was terrific as the T-1001.
Gary Kirchherr she was creepy, scary, eerie, horrific and so much more. She did amazingly well.
@@charisma-hornum-fries she was thick and had an accent from ireland?
@@rickjames5998 Or maybe even Scotland ;-)
As I recall, the relationship she was developing with the kid of the woman she'd doubled was an interesting subplot (hadn't seen the show since it aired, so maybe not remembering it right).
she really was man,i love that character
I decided to give it a shot due to my love for the first 2 films. Man was it a love letter and continuation of that timeline. The series holds up as a justifiable sequel. And, Summer Glau was just a major component for me to watch. Utlimate crush.
This show ended far too early.i loved watching this
I am still angry when I see the last episode of season two and then nothing.
I think the show should’ve been on HBO or showtime possibly it would’ve had a hell of a lot more seasons then what we gotten sadly
It did, but honestly its a miracle it even got a full 2nd season order, so im grateful for that its a miracle it got 30 episodes even. But still yeah definitely ended to soon regardless.
Yeah, me too. I have watched that series a half a dozen times. Wished they would have kept going at least a couple more seasons. I wanted to know what John did in the future.
Just like the Spawn HBO series...
We all know why it was cancelled. The Summer Glau curse. Anything with her in it has a short shelf life.
Except Arrow.
@@l.pricetag.5207 she was only a guest star on Arrow for 9 episodes. Plus, my comment was a joke because I have liked every show she has been in and they all get cancelled pretty quick. It could also be called the JayDay curse for that reason.
@@jayday545 Ah right fair point.
Edit: I haven't really seen Arrow since the first three seasons and i barely remember them. I just knew that Summer Glau was in them and that they had 7 seasons.
I think it's cool that both Cersei Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen have had a crack at playing Sarah Connor.
Hence the battle of Kings Landing was called the "Sarah Connor Bowl". I like how they each portrayed her honestly.
Cersei was 10x the sarah Conner. Very believable. Danny not so much
Emilia Clarke had the misfortune of being miscast. Or maybe the movie was written wrong and her acting was fine. Either way, Genisys sucked. It’s too bad. Production values and cinematography was good.
Danny was no Sarah Connor
@@babypanda0201 Emilia is just too cuddly cute - you can't take her seriously as a fighter
Rewatched it on Hulu this month. That ending keeps me thinking to this day, wishing what would of happened if they continued into a 3rd season. It was way better than T3 T4 & all the new movies after that
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was a good action drama series. I became a fan of Summer Glau because of the show and I became an instant fan of the series after watching the pilot episode. Summer Glau was born to play Cameron.
Watch fire fly she is in that
@@antonfowler6582 I already have and I met her in December.
Terminator 3 is actually one of my favorites.
I absolutely loved this show. It's cancelation lead to me eventually stop watching everything Fox makes.
I literally did the same thing. Refused to watch anything coming from fux after that. They replaced this show with a bunch of reality shows and Glee. I never could understand why fux would green light a show knowing full well that they had to put a lot of money into sfx, then bitch about having to put money into sfx. The following season they green lit a show called terra nova. A show about going back in time to live on the earth during the time of the dinosaurs. When I saw that, I knew it wouldn't last because sfx. It lasted less than one year. I ended up catching a couple of eps online and it was a show about dinosaurs.... without dinosaurs. Growing up when my brother and I would get really loud in the house, our mom would tell us kids should be seen and not heard. Well in this show, dinosaurs were heard but never seen. Networks anymore try and find the shows that get them the quick buck but even the most popular shows e.g. Friends took some time to get their feet wet and find their grove but anymore they never get that chance. Ether you are a hit out of the gate or you are out the door.
@@jyoungbr549 I remember Terra Nova and thought the same thing that it would be quickly canceled
I was so hoping that the Syfy channel would pick it up as I heard a rumor that was a possibility.
I did exactly the same, Fox was dead to me after TSCC, final nail in the coffin of them taking on excellent sci-fi shows only to horribly mismanage and then cancel them.
Likewise, though I gave up on all networks after this was canceled. I was tired of getting hooked on a show, only to have it canceled too soon.
I liked how the terminator hid in the wall for a hundred years waiting to attack
If im not mistaken,that was the ep with the guy in the weelchair..man those episodes were dark,thats one of my favourite.The 2nd one when she lost her memories and remembers how the original girl gets killed.Brutal.
That terminator also helped people build city, he even become mayor if am not mistaken than he wanished I only wonder how their skin survived for so long shouldent rats eat it of? This shoe had many cool things thst all new T movies still lacking
@@mikcnmvedmsfonoteka He buried himself into the wall wait for 80 years. His appearance at right place at wrong time killed the guy who was supposed to build the building that was his mission target, so he had to build it himself. Also his mission was to kill the governor of California, that was possibly something that was meant to be Arnie cameo. They just couldn't schedule it to happen. T:SCC was a high profile tv-show shot in California in time when tv-productions were fleeing to cheaper locations like Vancouver. Skin was an oversight in my opinion as well. Just put a zombie make up on actor.
The stuff of nightmares
always felt alone in my joy for this show! this was awesome!
Great show. The cliffhanger at the end of the 2nd season got me so hyped, I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I hoped for a while that Netflix would have picked it up to continue it. At that point they had really just started their Original Programing, and they already had the two seasons available for streaming. It seemed like a good fit.
Not possible anymore, the cast have all gotten older by more than a decade...
@@achillesrodriguezxx3958 He meant around 2012 ish when netflix started planning and producing originals
@@englishsteel-nz6im Lena Headey was comited to Game of Thrones at that time, she couldn't do it.
At 12:58 I laughed so hard... What a dry humor you have... TINGGGGG 😂👌
It was a very underrated show. Wish they could've completed it. It ended on such an awesome cliff hanger too.
I remember watching this show being 16 and having a major crush on Lena and Summer, first time any female characters in a show or movie made me feel anything like it. It's kinda ironic Lena played Sarah before GoT and then after Emilia Clarke took over, and sadly I don't think she fit the role. Lena had that strong motherly protective presence that could be intimidating the same way Linda managed in T2, she did so in GoT too. Emilia fit the role of a "shy princess-like girl slowly growing more cynical of the world" far better than being intimidating the same way Lena made Cersei appear at every moment.
Anyway, to get to the show, it was a shame it was cancelled, understandable, but a shame. It'd be nice if it returned but I feel at this point many of the actors who made it great might not be able to return or not return in the same capacity (being older now), though perhaps technology is reaching to that point you can make them look just like they did 2008.
Either way I doubt any kind of movie can revive Terminator, they've tried with so many and imo T3 and Salvation are better than the ones that came after. Atleast T3 dared to stick to the end (actually having Judgement Day be unstoppable and witness it) and Salvation exploring post-Judgement Day story, rather than rehash, reboots and retcons with new timelines. Maybe in the future we can get a series like this as I think series for many beloved movie franchises is the way to go, not more movies.
Sarah's cancer and the year 2011 creates immediacy and a true deadline. But my favorite part was not "destiny" but rather SkyNet's origin took many roads. IP, subcontractors, etc. Which one will actually invent SkyNet? So much about its origins the resistance did not know.
Brilliant symmetry in the storyline. The alliance which fell apart on the nuclear sub is patched up at the end, with Cameron representing humans and John Henry the liquid metal guys.
The show is good and really has a potential good story and twist.And Summer Glau really did the role as AI robot so awesome.
I loved this show! The casting is inspired, but who can forget the sheer terror that Shirley Manson brought to her character!
It was always a puzzle to me that this show didn't get the appreciation it deserved.
Loved Mason's performance and the nebulous direction they were taking her character as a T1000. She may have had very different goals than either her mission or even Skynet as a whole. The show was just so rich with details it always left me guessing. T: SCC is proof that any follow-up to T2 should have been in the form of a show otherwise like the last movie illustrated (Dark Fate) they'll just have to tell the same story over and over again.
Two words, the same ones that killed Firefly, and the Adventures of Brisco County Jr. Time slot. Same with Futurama.
They premiered the pilot right before the football season that year, on a Sunday, and put it in Monday night, at the same time as WWE Raw, and Monday night football. That and Friday between 8 and 10 PM, are known as the timeslot of death. Mainly because people go out on Friday or Saturday night, Monday, most of the adult Male audience is watching football or wrestling.
Had it been a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, it may have done better.
toneloak : T:SCC should be rebooted into the movies. Rebooted because of new actors, but with the plot line intact.
She's even OK to revive her character if the show was to be brought up again! That's passion. Love SHirley!
@@ronn-ammon8975 They've redone the storyline so many times that I've lost count. I mean in order for the Chronicles to work, we have to ignore that Dark Fate has John Connor killed off!
Damn, I remember how hyped my brother and I were when this show was on the air. We were so disappointed and confused when the show got cancelled. Glad ya cleared this one up! 👌
Cameron was such an amazing character, the exact opposite to Grace
100%! I couldn't have said it any better!
@@EP-rq3pn Thank you
I was a fan of this show and one Friday night ready for a new episode when it was suppose to air it was just gone no warning. I couldn’t believe such a good show was just gone like that.
Great show, much like Firefly. Both screwed by Fox.
Never saw "Firefly," but have always heard good things.
So too was Babylon 5.
Sky Den you have been deprived
Yes screwed by FOX except without FOX we would have neither. Yes FOX did show the wrong episode as the pilot but that was basically the only really wrong thing they did. They did not, as people say, always preempt it for sports, they promoted it just as much as any other show.
The first episode of Terminator: TSCC had 18 million people watch but the every next night that went down to 10. The rest of the season was in the 8's. So it got a second season. The second season started at 6+ and ended just below 4. People have to realize that ratings drive shows.
I loved both Firefly and Terminator:TSCC but if it looses people FOX can't just keep paying for it because "I like it"
Clayton Courtney Fox also aired firefly in the wrong order
Damn i watched the last Episode yesterday. T-1000 Side on Side with John was one Highlight for me and its ended 😢
Terminator 3 had some good points to it, like all the cool Robot tech, but yes Sarah Connor Chronicles was so much better, plus Derek Reese was kind of a badass.
yes, Lena Headley was a badass Sarah Connor, she lived to the legend made by Linda Hamilton.
Terminator rise of the machiens is one of my favorites. i think it gets so much crap because its not T2. you cant catch lightning in a bottle twice. T2 i would argue is superior to the original. Also the reason the flamethrower makes that noise is because its so hot its turn the air into plasms. and it sounds hella cool
this was a great show and premise, wish it could have lasted another season, btw Cameron was one sexy terminator!!! 👍👍👍👍
This nails the reason for the demise of the show: Deterioration of the script-writing. Toward the end, everything went way out into left field, not making much sense. So MUCH potential, squandered!
I’ve watched this about 4 times now and it’s brilliant, especially the 2nd series. It’s got an x-files element to it, with mystery & intrigue. Definitely deserved a 3rd series...
it's on heros and icons on sunday nights at the moment. really good show. thanks for the wonderful commentary.
I still remember after the series ended on such a crazy cliffhanger how there was a huge campaign to save the series with online petition, cast said thank you to the huge fan base calling them the revolution tk stood skynet, and even a billboard on a truck asking people to save the series. Funny thing is, I'm watching nightmare on elm street thisnminute with the actor who plays john conner.
This was arguably one of my favorite TV series. I was definitely intrigued about where it was heading. I thought it was laughably amusing though when they considered killing off Sarah early on. How do you call a series "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" after you've killed off Sarah? Wouldn't the Sarah Connor Chronicles then be Sarah rotting in a grave six feet under? But messing around with time is never clean, side effects you never considered always seem to happen. And OMG, I so loved Summer Glau's character. I loved the story arc where we find that when everyone else is asleep she goes to the local library and reads old newspapers to find activities from other Terminator time infiltrators so she can stop them. It's been too many years for the original actors to come back I think, many would not look at all like they did back then. And replacing them with new actors would not have the same vibe that the original crew had.
Possibly in my top 5 shows of all time. An absolute treasure!
I wish it did not get cancelled it was just getting better and better with each episode and then they cancel it because it was of shitty fox.
Jon to Cameron:
"Gyal ah want to reprogram yuh circuitry 😏"
Sorry I just had to 😫😫😆😆😂😂😭😖
Can I tell yall a secret. I was way too young to watch the first terminator so my Dad let me watch the 2nd one. I cried so much when he went in the lava. he was like a hero to me. always protecting John. then I watched the first one. and I was blown away. the first Terminator is a ruthless monster worse than the cop in the second one even with his liquid metal.
It was molten metal, not lava :)
@@IsUserADuck oopsie
I bawled my eyes out in the theater, when my dad took me. I was 10, I think.
Pretty good stab at a TV adaptation. And isn’t it ironic that the two biggest rivals on Game of thrones both had a turn at playing Sarah Conner?
12:23, he's a cool actor. Liked his character, when he realizes that Sarah was right about the TERMINATORS.
Nice vid.
Big fan. Was at a detox and I got into a fight over the t.v. to watch it.
3:10 I like the way you said the SFX still hold up then show a shot of bouncy bricks 🤣
Every aspect of this show was phenomenal. I can’t believe they canceled it and even more I can’t believe another network didn’t pick it up and continue.
Probably because Fox is so greedy they won't subcontract the license so someone else can legally film a new season of Chronicles... But I've given up on Fox and haven't watched their channel in several years.
I was hoping Netflix would pick it up after GoT was done. No such luck so far.
@largol33t1 FOX Didn't cancel it. FOX renewed it. Warner Brothers canceled it. The budget was approximately 750,000 per episode. Warner was using it as an advertisement for Salvation Day.
@@JamesTheDireWolf Wow. How did WB not see what they had?
Common sense says put your most expensive shows on the most watched nights and make cheaper shows for the ones who are actually home on Friday and Saturday. But nah. Put a show on Friday when the college crowd is not home. And make it expensive. Meanwhile, no more family and old people shows with cheap budgets on Friday and Saturday.
Such a brilliant series. “The Turk” episode is a complete masterpiece.
This show was one of my mom and I’s favorite to watch every Friday night. Both of us were bummed out that it was canceled.
Superb show, it was a real loss.
Summer Glau in particular was stunning as was the Skynet plot.
yeah that's fox for you killing off great shows for ratings🤣😂🤣
One of the things I enjoyed about the show was how they touched on that people, and Terminators, were coming back from alternate futures. They did it so much better than Dark Fate.
No question T2 was the best sequel of all time. I still remember walking out of the theater in 1991 thinking that exact thought. It was mind blowing. So perfect and so completed the terminator story arc.
I like that Lena Headey (ho played Cersei) and Emilia Clarke (who played Khaleesi) from Game of Thrones both played a version of Sarah Connor.
I am so glad you made this!
That cliffhanger final episode DESTROYED my young disappointed soul.
The future war episodes were magnificent.
Did Fox do the same thing with Kings? Or was that NBC?
It was NBC.
Yeah it was going so well until the last few episodes. Derek being killed off was not needed, the final jump to the future just broke things.
@@fasih_rehman That depends if they had a plan. The way they set up finale things could end up absolutely amazing or a real dog*t. Bigger budget would be required, this is what I'm sure of.
@@nateman10 When you say it like that then yes that is an interesting avenue to go down. But ultimately one of the reasons for killing the series was that it was creating a disjoint with the movie universe.
@@nateman10 My feelings as well! There actually kind of was a resolution to the cliff hanger - sort of - in the plot of the never made sequel to terminator salvation of all things. Basicly it turns out that skynet DID make another Marcus-type half human half terminator. Unfortunately, unlike Marcus, THIS hybrid was made from a mass murdering serial killer who promptly took control of entire sectors from skynet and forced it to end its war against humanity, to make peace with mankind, and even serve under John Connor in the war. The image of chromed out flesh free terminators fighting and living with the humans is intoxicating in its awesomeness and potential!
As John's other female protector in the series (the first being his mother), the multi-skilled chameleon, Summer Glau, proves to be the series' greatest asset. She brings considerable emotion and depth to what is...essentially...a robot. "What's a robot doing, showing emotion and depth?" you may ask. Good question.
Summer Glau continues to impress and show off her incredible range, bringing so much more to this role than one might expect. Just with her eyes alone, she conveys SO much. Her deadpan delivery of lines is what oftentimes provides the most laughs in the series, while her relationship with both mother and son taps into the heart of the series. Here we're presented with this machine...but what if there were more to it than that? Whilst she's regarded as one of the "heroes" of the series, Cameron never lets you forget what she was built for. Equal parts chilling and heroic, Cameron is an integral part of the show.
holy shit, you're commenting on reviews of your own show? that's dope as hell!
The Perfect Sex Machine bot lol
to be honest--I think that she used the fact that she was a machine to hide her true emotions.
At the time I liked how this series could potentially achieve what all the Terminator films after Judgment Day couldn't. Lena Headey was an interesting choice to build on the role that Linda Hamilton created. Happy 40th Anniversary for the Terminator universe.
The Terminator was one of the few western commercial films that Andrei Tarkovsky admired.
This was a fantastic tv series and I was incredibly disheartened that it was so unexpectedly cancelled, especially as the story ended on a complete cliff hanger.
summer is so hot. pun intended.
WINTER IS COMING.
Well, at least why we know why "John" never hit it.
LOL!
@@billmurray7473 NUCLEAR WINTER!
she's a cruel, cruel summer.
Watching Summer Glau kick ass in this and in "Serenity" was nice to watch.
What an awesome series it is. Have both seasons on Blu Ray and was madly in love with Summer Glau for a while.
In that you were not alone. Loved her in Firefly too
I think that was part of the draw of the show - no offense to Arnold but having a beautiful Terminator played directly into the projected age and gender group for the show.
Nothing was better than T2 but I hate that everyone shits all over all thr terminator movies after it. It's the reason we're most likely not ever going to get another one. I liked watching all the terminator movies that came out because I loved the story, whether it made sense or not. But all the whiney people have to crap all over them hurting the image.
Still love TSCC! Underrated as hell. Love the soundtrack too. Makes me nostalgic for the 00s lol.
I can't believe you actually implied T-3 was worse than Genisys or Dark Fate.
Was gutted when they decided to end the series . It was a great extended universe
Saying Terminator 3 is worse than Genesis makes me wonder whether I've taken crazy pills. T3 was not good, but ok for a mindless popcorn action movie. Genesis raped the franchise, when the theme came on at the end I wanted to cry.
Ellison - a nod to Harlan Ellison as well as Cameron.
@Samhain Returns But only after some "legal discussion". 😆
@Samhain Returns That was something studio added to tv- and video-releases of The Terminator to credits against Camerons will. To avoid a costly law suit.
ye;
TSCC remains the only terminator media that truly captures the feeling of T1/T2. I know there is no way it’ll ever come back , but I do hope we get something like it in the future.
T3 was fine, Salvation was great
i loved this show so much, i just binged it in 1 week,,,and i was in disbelief when it ended :( it was so dam good. I wanted to see more in the future!

@@lincolnpascual LOL I have stayed away from it so far
Watch Dredd.
I had to watch the first season of it. I’m not wasting my time watching all the seasons for a crappy ending.
Wow, you did this fantastic show a beautiful review.
Honestly at this point bringing back the Sarah Connor Chronicles might save this franchise
Except we are now past the shows Judgment Day.....so it would have to be changed yet again...
So what? The Terminator franchise has four different timelines post-T2, including the TV show. Let's stick to the one that actually worked.
Gary Kirchherr
Exactly
August 29, 1997.
Judgment Day could have been delayed by their actions but its happening for real now with what Tesla has cooking up etc. Skynet is literally here now in 2020.
This show was a hidden gem. Totally missed opportunity. Then they made Terminator Salvation...
this audio sounds like it was recorded in a box
@comic xxx subliminals im in your mums box
Whoah there segal. Not only is T3 an epic masterpiece of the difficulties of mega movies but it really gave American men the greatest gift ever....a hard hitting introduction to the fascinating Kristanna Loken
Fantastic show! Sucks we will never know what happened with that cliff hanger.
If we had netflix streaming this series could have lasted at least 3-5 years.
Did you record this in the toilet? Anyway, stopping the vid at 7min to go watch the entire series first. You made a good case.
@Don't Tread On Me Wow, so much better than anything after T2. It's not perfect, but lore wise, some very interesting concepts were being played with. Really wish they didn't scrap it. The show creator should tell us what would have happened later on. They will never remake it and give him a chance to tell it.
going from a huge muscle builder as a terminator to a cute little girl as the unstoppable force of power just doesnt work for me. I know she is a machine in all but its just a little comical at best to see her throw people around all the time.
Kristanna from T3 was much more believable and deadly
Never saw this show. Looks good, will watch.
You won’t be disappointed
Definitely worth a shot.
태선우TaeSunWoo aside from the cliffhanger season two ending
Wish they’d pull an “SG-1” and make a movie length finale to wrap up the storyline a bit neater...
I just watched it over the summer. So glad i did. The second season drags a bit but stay with it. The last 3 episodes were great.
You won't regret it :)
They would have to resurrect it with young actors. Learning Cameron is based on the girl Connor met in the future and had turned herself off (essentially) kind of makes it hard to bring her back in. I am not sure the fans would accept a middle aged Summer as a resurrected Cameron, so new actors would be needed. Like everyone though, I wish FOX hadn't cancelled it.
Underrated and underappreciated, and sadly we'll never know what happens to them in the end. Clearly, what the fanbase wants to know the most is how John becomes the leader, how his relationship with Allison and later Cameron develops, and why did he send Cameron back to protect him.
Answers we'll never get.
I'm convinced that John sent Cameron back in time to save him from himself. in truth--I don't think John was ever really gonna be savior and I think he knew it it--too much suffering, too much death, too much destruction.... both sides had already lost.
SCC was amazing
There's also Terminator 2 3D: Battle Across Time which was made for the interactive experience (which is no longer around) at Universal Studios. While short, it's a great look into what James Cameron might've done if he made a third film that followed the events of T2
Everyone slags off T3 but I loved T3.
I at least liked that Claire Danes was in the cast because she’s a very good leading lady.
