Keith, I'm going to attribute that less to characterization and more to bad 
writing.

..but then there¹s always a woman (or a big strong machine) who comes in and
kicks everyone¹s behind so that John can fulfill his potential. I¹m starting
to think I need a Psych degree to really  get  into this story.

Nah that  was NBC with ³Bionic Woman².  And then everybody watched -- and it
was rubbish. Remember the huge fall off between episode 1 and 2? A bad show
is a bad show. Terminator is no Bionic Woman.

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Sarah Connor Chronicles on Tonight

[Daryle]

Why people are going crazy over this series:

 1. Summer Glau. She¹s pretty easy on the eyes in this show, I must admit.
 2. The Terminator brand is huge. Everybody loves this story. Even if you
don¹t, you know it by heart. And what ELSE are you gonna watch?
 3. It¹s a better T3 than T3 was. If the show stops at 20 episodes and has
Arnold (or for that  matter, Joe Morton in a flashback) in ONE of
them...dude. That would be it. Movie time.

yeah, I agree. I kept thinking that the twelve (?) eps they made should just be 
a self-contained miniseries and be done with it. The always on the run theme, 
the fact that a muscular dude in leather and boots will show up every week to 
menace them, the Terminator (the good one) doing the Data thing of learning

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Sarah Connor Chronicles on Tonight

i enjoyed it. It has strong potential, needed some tweaking. I might be 
premature, but i was going on the rumours that it was definitely slated for 
cancellation. "Cane" is the same story. Maybe the ax hasn't officially come 
down on those shows, but the writing was on the wall...

You still live there?

K-Ville was in limbo because of the Strike, but yesterday a lot of shows got
canceled because of the strike. They called it ³Black Monday². Here¹s a
Hollywood Reporter article about it:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i1f048e311710f2fb
afb08ac7b0b34e19

>From this article, here¹s the relevant paragraph:

³In a clear sign about the future of Fox's "K-Ville" and NBC's "Journeyman"
-- two low-rated 20th TV-produced freshman series whose ultimate fate has
remained in limbo because of the strike -- the studio terminated the overall
deals of "K-Ville" creator/exec producer Jonathan Lisco and co-exec producer
Lawrence Kaplow as well as that of "Journeyman" creator/exec producer Kevin
Falls.²

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Sarah Connor Chronicles on Tonight

[Daryle]

So I watched the second episode last night and...and so I like Summer Glau
(I already liked her in Firefly) -- but I think this is totally a one season
show.

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: "Sarah Connor Chronicles"

[Daryle]

This show is a hit show,  and it was before it even came out. The PROBLEM
with this show? It takes place between movies 2 and 3. And unless you¹re 12
years old and didn¹t grow up with this story,  you already know what
happens.  Add to this that there will  be some serious  changing  of
storylines It¹s really time to get into the War and tell the story of John
Connor, the leader of the resistance. Watching the fight  scenes will be
cool for 12 episodes,  I¹m all  for it.  But THEN what?

Tracey, you need to keep track of the series now. That may end up as a 
storyline, and you'll want to record the evidence for your lawsuit.

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: "Sarah Connor Chronicles"

[Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L. Minor)]

I said ME.  POSSIBLY other viewers.  I was not predicting its end.  I 
was saying I did not know whether I could stick around.  It is my 
quirk.I have a problem with shows that are too formulaic.  For 
instance.  I like House, but up until this season the same thing every 
week, no surprises.   Monk the same.   most procedural shows - Law and 
Orders , CSIs the same.  Almost all are hits.  But it in is their very 
nature to be predictableOver time, I loose interest in them if they 
do not find a way to mix it up.   So, it is not just genre shows I do 
not know how many others have this quirk.   

There are fugitive shows that do well too.  I think Prison Break still 
has good ratings. There was also Farscape which I thought handled the 
fugitive theme in very interesting ways.  .  To me that was another well 
done fugitive show that used creative ways to tell the story.  The First 
Wave was okay, but sometimes I got tired of the fugitive theme - in the 
end the writing quality deteriorated and stunt casting with Traci Lords 
might have done it in..There was a show last summer called Traveler 
where they were on the run.  I really liked it.  I found the writers had 
unique way to keep the viewer's attention.  I might have stuck around.  
Unfortunately, it did not survive. Regarding The Fugitive and The Hulk.  
They were part an era when series had more than four weeks to find an 
audience.The Hulk lost me after a while, too.  I do not think that 
feature is why the series ended though

 I actually think Terminator will be an instant hit.  Even if it was not 
an instant hit, people would likely tune in at least once over the 
period they show the available eight episodes because there is nothing 
out there as a result of the strike.   Since it is well produced and 
entertaining, I think most would stick around.  Unless it spirals into a 
truly bad production like Bionic woman, I do not see why this show would 
be cut.  I mean, the Reaper is still around.  I think it would have 
probably not have been cut even if there was no strike.

Exactly, Keith. It's going to wear thin, no doubt. I'll use the show to kill 
time on Mondays and little else.

they're on the run, that was the time to end it. Now back into *another* 
prison? Please. I'm done with that show.
 I'll give Sarah Connors a chance. I'm sure i'll watch all the shows they've 
made so far (twelve i think?)

 My expectations were not high, particularly after the Bionic Woman 
 reboot disaster. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It was at least 
 good enough to get my scifi fix. I thought the casting was good. They 
 acting was not bad. The script was not ridiculous. They even threw in 
 a few smart remarks reminiscent of Arnold's, "talk to the hand." I know 
 the actress playing Sarah is no Linda Hamilton, but that was never going 
 to happen. I remember Linda having the arms of female body builder and 
 at the time. Maybe the producers did not see that working for the 
 series. Anyway, the casting of Sarah Connor, was definitely better than 
 the casting of Jamie Summers. She has a weariness about her that plays 
 well Picking Summer Glau to Replace Arnold was smart. He can't be 
 replaced, so throw the audience a wisp of a girl who looks so innocent 
 as Summer. I will definitely return, but here is how they might loose

That's write. Glau--a homegirl, I might add, hailing from Texas--studied ballet 
for years. Yeah, it was good, not great, but i'll definitely give it a chance. 
I like it better than "Bionic Woman" already!

The show was ok. I was in and out of the room. Even with that, I
kept up with the story. I prefer dramas that confuse me if I didn't
sit down and watch. But it was an ok show to skim while I waited for
"The Wire".

Well, they did manage to pull it off for a few seasons with The
Fugitive and The Incredible Hulk.
