BREAKING NEWS! T:TSCC Full Second Season Pickup!!!

“Apparently, all those worries about Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles being on the verge of cancellation were unfounded.  FOX made it official today: Terminator has been picked up for an entire second season.”

John Connor (Thomas Dekker)

The good news besides the “back nine” episodes being picked up by Fox (!) is that Thomas Dekker was not at all annoying as John in this episode. The plot put him on psychiatrist Dr. Sherman’s (Dorian Harewood) couch. The good doctor’s name was in blood on the wall, part of “the list” of humans that Terminators have been sent to uh, terminate–they think. John, Sarah, and Cameron went in for family therapy but after the session the doc asked to see them individually. John went first but because Cam had planted a bug (they were trying to figure out if he was a good or bad guy) in the office, John didn’t spill what has been nagging at him which was this:

T:SCC SE2EP6 Sarkassian Death

I hadn’t realized that this was John’s first kill; seems kind of incredible if it is. Maybe it’s the first time he’s  killed without a gun?

Later, John removed the bug and told the doc about a guy breaking in his house with he and his mother there and they were bound and there was stealing of “computer equipment” but not too much more.

I dunno. I do know that when John uttered the line that he (John) is “just a teenager” to the good doc it was unconvincing both as a lie to the doc and to the audience. Dekker, especially with the shorter hair, in no way seems 16 years old. We need another time jump–when the back nine episodes get made have it be 2 years in the future, closer even, to Judgment Day. Make him at least 18. That’s still pretty young and green and would be more in line with Dekker who is at least 20 years old.

Cool stuff! Watch the above video for the first ever female/female Terminator fight. The neat thing is that the actress, Bonnie Morgan, who played the ”Red Haired Female Terminator” is a contortionist! Almost all the bendy stuff was real! That makes the scene even more fun than it was!

(Summer Glau is “Cameron”)

At least Sarah had more dialog in this eppy. Still, she should be given more but with Stephanie Jacobsen as Jesse joining the cast it really makes me wonder. I love Brian Austin Greene as Derek Connor but would’ve preferred that they killed two birds with one stone and have it be him and Sarah getting closer, not a future-past babe–with whom he has had an intimate future past. Perhaps if the series can stay afloat and after we come to know Jesse’s true motivations, there may still be hope for a Connor-Connor hook-up.
