Radioactive!
Last night my lovely sci-fi geek wife and I pulled a late night marathon and watched the third and second to last episodes of the 2nd season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Oh man, this show keeps getting better and better. I have to believe, however, they knew they were getting the axe, based on some of the things happening. We tried to watch the last episode, too, but it was 1/2 an hour of live weather updates during a tornado-spawning storm and the last 1/2 hour of the show (presumably). Rats! They don't call Friday nights the death time slot for nothing, I suppose. How ironic, that the last episode of the season, probably the series, was on the air, and 1/2 the viewers, however many were actually left still watching the show (ratings were apparently awful), couldn't actually see it. At least in the Atlanta metro market. So we will have to watch it on the Internet.
I can't believe they canceled this show, as good as it is! I never was sold on Lena as Sara Connor, although of late she has even impressed me. John Connor never quite shined through Dekker until recently, although it was less of a hurdle that for Sarah. First I had to get over him as the same actor who played CheerBear's friend in Heroes season 1. I have totally loved Derek Reese and Cameron, despite her necessarily one dimensional performance. I guess what I'm saying is, no I don't think the show blew everyone away, but it was a great show, it has had clever and gripping writing, but suffered a bit from some of the acting. I hope the finale won't disappoint.
I wonder if I write about Terminator every day, if the Internet buzz around this show will significantly increase enough to where the network executives will realize they should keep T:TSCC alive despite its poor ratings and bring it back? (Doubtful!) Or maybe SciFi will pick it up like they did with Sliders. I guess I'll find out the feasibility of that once we watch the last episode.

My neighbors are always trying to get me to watch the SCC. I barely have time to watch Supernatural. Maybe I'll see it in late night syndication someday, like how I watch Buffy, Angel, SG1, Atlantis, and Smallville.
