Oh, it will have a following if history is to be the judge: this is how Fox consistently orders many of their best stuff, and just about all of their genre stuff. It's like they are trying to fail. (The more I learn about Rupert Murdoch the more I wonder if this is actually the case.) Two major examples of this mid-season order of only a part of a season off the top of my head being Sonnenfeld's live action The Tick and Whedon's Firefly. I'm willing to bet that Fox will air the 13 episodes of the Sarah Conner Chronicles out of order as well. It's weirder because I heard there was a bit of a bidding war on this high profile project (seriously, who in this country hasn't seen even the first Terminator film?), with ABC hoping to keep some of the sci-fi viewers it has picked up with Lost... I really have no idea what Fox is doing on this one... There is a very small possibility that the show's production hasn't geared up in time and that actually is when the show will be ready to start, but I doubt it. My biggest bet is that it is merely Fox once again trying to blast through mid-season Nielsen Sweeps at the expense of viewers and show producers and the rest of the season of television... One more reason I think Nielsen ratings suck.
