A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, okay. In my head that was just erasing the weirdness at the beginning, because I was wondering how they were going to keep up such a small time differential between viewer time and show time, and why they'd want to. I was just relieved.

Uh, yeah, so those are not "essential" episodes so much as "the last seven episodes."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor's mom or something.
Wait, she's not THAT old! She was born in 1956. To have a 15 year old grandson in 1999, she had to have had a daughter at like age 15, and for that daughter to have had her son at like age 15. Too much timeline-squishing!
(Also, I mean, Sarah Connor's mom was killed off in the first movie.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just have to share this TWoP post in response to a question about why Owain Yeoman paused before shooting John Connor (the real reason being he needed to be hit by Cameron in a truck).
Bwah!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I even changed my tag.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It was distracted by the little pop-up paper clip that said "It looks like you're trying to kill John Connor, do you want help with that?"
I always knew there was something shifty about Microsoft Help.

Anyone know what the ratings were for last night's Terminator?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Led by the prime-time portion of the Giants versus the Cowboys on the NFL Playoffs (which was beneficial to the series-premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Fox steamrolled past the Sunday competition. The NFL Playoffs averaged an approximate 28.7 rating/45 share in the overnights from 7-8 p.m., leading into the debut of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles at a hefty 12.1/18 from 8-9 p.m. Needless to say, Fox dominated from 7-9 p.m. Next was Family Guy at an above-average (and third-place) 7.2/10 in the overnights at 9 p.m., followed by American Dad at a 5.5/ 8 (#3) at 9:30 p.m. Since I like to always make reference to the potential fast affiliate results, Family Guy is expected to win the 9 p.m. half-hour among adults 18-49.
