Sarah Connor Chronicles well and truly gone

The shows creator bids a fond farewell to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Stupid Fox!

Following on from the all but official death of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Fox hammered the final nail into the coffin with the announcement of its Fall TV line up in the States recently.

In a piece over at TVGuide.com, the president of Fox Entertainment, Kevin Reilly, is reported as also declaring that "no matter how well Christian Bale's Terminator Salvation theatrical release does, the TV series will not be baaaack".

And just to cap things off, the creator of the series, Josh Friedman, has posted a farewell blog post over at fox.com.

He writes:

By now most of you have heard the news that T:SCC is cancelled. I received a call earlier today from Peter Roth at Warner Bros. and I appreciate both his personal and professional support throughout this show's life. I know a lot of you are angry about the cancellation and want to find a place to direct your anger and to that I say do yourself a favor and find a way to move past it. Every network wants a big fat hit, especially one with a brand name behind it, and Fox was/is no different. They supported the show, they supported my vision of the show, and they gave it plenty of time to find an audience.

"My only complaint about the T:SCC fans is that there aren't ten million of them," he notes.

You can read his full post here.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is that. We'd wager hard cash though that the show is still talked about in ten years time...

It's their own damn fault.

They took a show about killer robots from the future, and turned it into an insecure mother with cancer bawwwing all over the place.
God damn. Fuck the writers and director.

Okay, so that middle bit of season two wasn't all it could have been, but the killer robot quotient became pretty good toward the end.

They kept Dollhouse though.

I know it wasn't a binary decision, but it's better than neither.

FFS...

orcone - granted there could have been more killer robots and less human-bawwing, the show *was* called "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" - ie it's *supposed* to be all about her and less about the machines.

I liked it, and will definitely buy the DVDs when they come out.

Then why call it "Terminator" at all?

Should have called it "Boring shit fest with emotionless woman moping about chronicles".

All I can say is - I'll be back"...

To kick your arses from here to kingdom come. Yes agreed, the show lost its way mid season 2 but at least give us a 90 minute finale or similar...

Come on please or rot in hell. Your choice...
