    Terminator TV show Finale? *spoilers*

    Has the Sarah Conner Chronicles been picked up for another season or are the producer's going for this as the series finale with the chance that the series has been cancelled?

    It kind of wraps things up in a certain way that leaves the folks watching via DVD boxsets with a fairly satisfying conclusion that ties it into the original two movies as best that it can. Although having a 16 year old John Conner leading the resistance isn't exactly the most believable scenario.

    I guess alternatively if the show does get picked up for a third season, they can have 16 year old John Conner return from the future with new insights and determination to stop the future.

    Still leaves an open question about what the deal is with the "good" liquid metal Shirley Manson Terminator, and what purpose she had for "birthing" John Henry.

    Ending did have an odd kind of Wizard of Oz vibe going on with Derek and Cameron/Allison waiting there in the future. Not to mention the Field of Dreams thing with Kyle Reese.

    Any thoughts?

    Older John Conner meeting young John Connor?

    Very confusing.

    The most intriguing part is the female liquid Terminator and John Henry...I dig that aspect of the story the most.

    So if the character of Austin Green was killed in our time...why is he alive in the future?

    That throws everything out the door then...that means John Connor can be killed in the present...yet still be alive in the future...that's if we are going to go with that kinda logic.

    So is the hot young Terminator chick cyborg or human in the future?

    Very confusing...but I still love that show.

    I think the series has been given the green light...it's been getting solid ratings.

      Time line change John left 2009 so there is no John untill he shows up in the future, thats why know one knows him.
      His Father and uncle are both there because the havent gone back yet or have no need to because there is no leader John to save.

      Soooo........ John should vanish because his actions stop him from being born.

        I saw it and yes it was a bit confusing. It usually gets that way when you start dabbling with time travel and what happens if you change the timeline. Even though it had some discrepancies I thought it was Fantastic. I Love this Show alot. I really do hope that they bring it back. The story is great and the effects are Wicked Cool

          The time line continuity in Terminator is probably the most loony out of all the science fiction flicks.

              I didn't get that ,.. that was Younger John Conner Meeting Older John Conner,.. I thought it was John Conner Meeting Kyle Reese,.. his Father.

              Agreed, ... that with the Added show,.. the continuty seems a bit off,.. because, well anything can happen & has when you are re-writing Time. Nothing from T3 Is ever mentioned,.. only 1 & 2. Because the show takes place before T3 ...

              I think when Jonh jumped to the Future,.. The Cameron Chick is not even a Terminator,.. I think she is Human,.. like in that one Episode.


              I also think that the Austin Green Character,.. can be protrayed in the Future,.. because thats where he was,.. before comming back in time.

              When His character told John,.. he never heard of John Conner,.. & nore did anyone else in his group,.. I took that as , either A. For Some reason, John Conner doesn't exisist in this Possible Future,.. & or B. ... He is really not even created yet..., Because Kyle Reese has yet to travel back in time, to Bang Sarah & Create Him.

              ... Either way you look at it,.. it is a bit confusing,.. & Was a Fantastic Episode non the less,.. Hopefully the Show Will continue. I don't think it's on any sorta chopping block yet...

                Cameron is indeed Allison (the real girl she is based on), you can tell because the dog doesn't react to her like a Terminator.

                I think there is indeed a new timeline created that has John jumping forward to before Kyle or Reese jump back (and before they have even met John Conner). If the show is indeed cancelled, I guess the implication is that he is going to lead the resistance as a 16 year old and send his father Kyle back so that he can be conceived and send his uncle back to make sure that he gets sent forward in time. With the weight that he is sending both to their death in the future.


                Anyone else feel like Hugo and Miles on that last episode of "Lost" right now?

                    This show is one of my favourites. I hope it comes back for a third season.

                      The ratings weren't good for this season and another season is not yet officially confirmed. I think (besides wanting to see the show continue) that a new season would be a good idea because it can help promote the new movie.
