The Sarah Connor Chronicles

[Superfreak]

In TSCC though, we clearly have two AIs at work. There's Skynet, which was created by Cyberdyne and starts Judgment Day, and John Henry, who is being fostered to maturity by the Weaver T-1001, most likely on behalf of the rogue machine faction. We don't know what Catherine Weaver's true intentions are, but it seems likely that she's trying to groom John Henry to be the anti-Skynet, who will allow the independent machines to claim victory in the war-- which likewise, means Skynet wants him destroyed.

muh

 

[black_dust]

In the first Terminator Movie Kyle said there was two AI a russian counterpart that Skynet nuked so that the war would be between Skynet and the humans.

He never said anything like that in the first movie.

In T2 the T-800 said

TERMINATOR
Yes. It launches its ICBMs against their
targets in Russia.

SARAH
Why attack Russia?

TERMINATOR
Because Skynet knows the Russian counter-strike
will remove its enemies here.

But that was skynet attacking Russian Humans so they would counter attack America



Anyway, really liked this episode more happened in this one that in the last 4 weeks!! You could also see the three dots behind John Henry

WTF are you talking about, the comics? That has never been in any of the movie?

I gotta admit, the show has picked up over the last two episodes.

Yeah he is on about Skynet the ONLY skynet, who made the attack on Russia so they would send nukes back.

Skynet was hooked into everything and when they turned it on it became self-aware and proceeded to take out all human life (apart from T3 where its a virus waiting to be unleashed)

Yeah, you have to remember that Terminator was made in the 80's, before the internet or at least before the internet in the capacity you know it today. Back then, the internet was a government run network only primarily used for their purposes. The original story was written with this in mind. It never meant to insinuate that there were multiple Skynets, just that all the computers controlling all the nukes in a world where computers could talk to each other was dangerous. Especially if a computer became sentient (Skynet) and could link them all together (using the internet).

T3 fleshed this idea out a bit more and went into detail. Showing Skynet causing corruption in computer systems (the internet included) promting the defense network to bring it online. There were many theories as to how it actually happened, but for 'movieverse' this was the only thing actually shown.

It seems very likely to me that with all the corporate spying going around that it would be unlikely that any one country would be able to develop something as sophisticated as Sky Net without being a counterpart in some superpowers bunker. I may be wrong but it's a thought

 

[Nivek]

I'm just confused as to how someone can say in the original film that they implied anywhere that there are multiple Skynets.

Honestly though, I like the idea of the Machines having "factions".

True, and there probably were other super computers that were very close to reaching 'awareness' if not achieved it already. However, the original movies have only ever stated that Skynet was the only one to take aggressive action leading to J-day. Again T3 fleshed the idea out a bit more with the 'virus-on-the-net' thing.

Who knows, maybe there was more going on than we were told and other 'supercomputers' (Like John Henry) turn out to be the real threat Skynet was taking action against. But it hasn't been stated yet.

Me thinks Paradox just read too much into the dialouge. It happens, I'm sure if he watches it again he'll see the original intent.

 

[Golgo-13]

If this show is cancelled, i will cease watching anything on Fox.......other than '24'.

This show really hit its stride lately didn't it.

 

[Timstuff]

I'll keep watching Dollhouse, although if TSCC gets canceled I don't think Dollhouse will fare much better, since it's only on its first season and its numbers are already comparable to TSCC's.

As I've said before though, if Fox drops TSCC, it's not the end for the show. There's still a strong the possibility that it'll get picked up by the CW or SyFy, because she show still gets solid numbers (with the DVR tally included) and is well liked by advertisers. The show could definitely live a happy post-Fox life as a lead-in for Supernatural or a replacement for Battlestar Galactica.

WRONG!!!! the CW is slowly becoming Lifetime Jr. and SyFy has made it very clear that they are not going to be the network that picks up canceled or castoff shows....DVR viewings are merely noted (they don't really count for anything)

 

[Nivek]

....DVR viewings are merely noted (they don't really count for anything)

That's how I watch it most of the time. Last night was a fluke.

 

[imdaly]

So while I was watching the flashback scenes in the jungle during this episode it hit me: Lena Headey would make a WONDERFUL Lara Croft.

muh to this too, it's totally unorginal

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

You know. I was thinking the same thing too. "Lara Croft" anyone? lol. The look on Lena...I dunno...was it intentional? lol.

 

[FCEEVIPER]

Fridays episode was ok, I think everyone pretty much knew that Charlie was a goner.

I'm just glad it wasn't Derek.

Exclusive: Brian Austin Green lands part in The CW's 'Body Politic'
By Korbi Ghosh March 21, 01:15 PM

Brianaustingreen Winter, spring, summer, fall, it's pilot season and David Silver is keepin' it together.

Though the "Beverly Hills 90210" vet is currently a regular on FOX's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," The CW confirms that Brian Austin Green has just secured a role in their "Body Politic" project.

The series, if green lit, will follow young government staffers living and working in Washington, D.C.

Green will play Lucky, a D.C. insider who knows everyone in town.

The notorious BAG is just one of several names already attached to "Politic" including Gabrielle Union, Tim Matheson, "Friday Night Lights"' Minka Kelly, "Veronica Mars"' Jason Dohring and "Six Degrees"' Jay Hernandez.

So, does this mean Silverado will never return to Beverly Hills for an appearance as Donna Martin's loving husband on the new "90210"? Not really. He told me he is down and could easily do both.

More importantly for "Terminator" fans, does Green's "Politic" casting signal that the fate of "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" is sealed? Not necessarily. No doubt BAG's involvement in "Politic" is in second position to "T:TSCC," meaning that if "T:TSCC" gets another season, that would be his first priority. Still, the fact that he's looking around is not a good sign for the FOX show.

No word yet on whether BAG will bless us with a couple killer West Bev spin moves on any of his current or future projects...

 

[Angry Sentinel]

That is really sad. This show finally gives signs of life and nobody cares.

 

[The Squirrel]

I just finished the first season on dvd. Good show, I need to catch up on Season 2.

 

[blksuperman2]

I had 3 weeks of Episodes recorded on my DVR and decided to watch them. Man the last 3 episodes were awesome. I'm really starting to like this version of John Connor. I love how he picks up on little clues here and there but didn't care. I get the feeling that he knows he can't really die because his future is already set. He's just enjoying the ride sometimes and waiting to see how everything pans out.

The future can always been changed. Derek and Jesse's futures are both different.

 

[blksuperman2]

Yeah he himself has changed the future plenty of times but Future John always remains. It's inevitable.

 

[Adrian89]

The show was good (although it has it's flaws and tbh it could've been alot better, but you can't have 'em all!), I'm waiting for the last episodes.
