Sarah Connor Chronicles — Why It Died
brumgrunt writes "Sarah Connor was a non-populist, meditative, complex piece of television on a smash-bang, show-me-the-ratings kind of network. The two were never going to get on. Plus: how the Terminator name proved more hindrance than aid."
... you're a fanboy, aren't you?
Not enough scenes of Summer Glau in a wet t-shirt.

She's that woman your PC searches for with its free cycles.
Oh, that must be Maria Ozawa's real name, then.
It'll be back.
no no no. That would be Samantha Who?, and it got canceled too.

Cliff: Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
Exactly, the sequel should have been a robot going after the Great Great Great Grandad in the Wild West, or Industrial Revolution era Northern England.
Hmm... It's kinda hard to compare a cutie who can tear a spaceship apart & put it back together, then have a beer with the guys and laugh at stupid jokes, all the while being so frickin' adorable you just want to buy her a pony or something - and a super-killer-tough-chick who seems to have been born with an axe in one hand and a gun in the other. Two different worlds, man, two worlds.
...Summer Glau does need a sandwich, though.
P.S. If you haven't watched "Firefly" / "Serenity" yet, you're missing the best show that was ever on Sci-Fi. Srsly. It's so good that fans bought advertising at their own expense.
The meandering plot arcs of Lost all make sense when you realize that in the series finale they find Gilligan.

I don't know, but I'd love to see her get cast as Catwoman in the next Batman movie.

The "very complex plot with many main characters" collapses because there is nothing else to carry it.
A well written series would not have that flaw.
maybe the robots realized that if they killed him, then he would not have thwarted their evil plans, so they would never have been sent back in time in the first place, which would enable him to live long enough to save humanity?
how many pairs of boxer shorts should you own?
What else has she been in? I'd not heard of her till this terminator show.

Never heard of Firefly?
Please turn in your geek card at the door on your way out.
Thank You.
There is no "I disagree" mod for a reason. Flamebait, Troll, and Overrated are not substitutes.
Yeah, who'd watch a TERMINATOR show to see terminators? Damn plebs!
Because the terminator traveling across country hitting up county courthouses for birth certificates isn't nearly as interesting.
Could be.
This week, on Terminator: The Registrar Chronicles:
(ring)
"County Clerk's Office, how may I help you?"
"I need ze birth certificate for Sarah Connor"
"Are you a parent or next-of-kin?"
"Negative."
"We'll need some documentation that you're the parent or next-of-kin to provide birth records to you."
"I'll be back..."

But there was only one. There can be only one.
