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."

    Yawn for no-budget and no cool terminator robots.

    Obviously you are a simple minded populist who is incapable grasping the subtle brilliance of the show.
    Either that or the show sucked. I watched several episodes of the first season and tried hard to like it, but it wasn't interesting or entertaining. This story is just whining: "They cancelled my most favorite show, wah! Everone else on the planet must be an idiot because they did not like it, wah!"

    I've just gotten tired of Yet Another Uber-Aggressive Fight Babe stories. They've become too common for me to suspend disbelief that there really are that many physically aggressive women in this world that beat up men on a regular basis.

    Same here, I liked the first two terminator movies but I have zero interest in Sarah Connor, or another Feminazi super-woman show. Keep that shit on lifetime where it belongs. This is half the reason I don't watch TV nowadays, who wants to see a bunch of men cast as women and women cast as men? Watch a movie from as recently as the 70's and notice how they act compared to the way men are type cast today.

    Every person I've ever known who complained that a woman was too thin, has a fat ugly wife. She'd be so ugly, just her neck would make the Pope's dick shrivel.

    Summer Glau does need a sandwich, though.

    That's what people look like when they've maintained a high level of physical fitness and avoided over-eating. Here's a though; How about dragging your own fat ass to the gym instead of insuinuating the woman has an eating disorder?

    Jealous much?

        I have time to burn on Slashdot, because I'm watching two things compile on servers, and I'm sitting at work. It's either write on here, or go for yet another smoke break.

        But when I go home ... wait. You're always home, aren't you? 30 years old, jobless, living in your mothers basement, just screaming out "I want a life", but really 30 seconds from putting that noose around your neck. Hey, who am I to talk you down. Make sure you make the rope short enough that your feet don't hit the floor.

        I wish you the best. I'll be going home and having fun with friends, and maybe going out on a date, if I feel like it. That's something you can't do from your mothers basement, since you probably don't even have a car to drive if you could get a date.

        Don't cry, it's ok. Now step off the chair. There you go. It'll all be over in a minute.
