Josh
Friedman Talks Season 2
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles executive producer
Josh Friedman spoke with members of the press on Tuesday about the
upcoming second season of the show.
While TerminatorSite was not included in the junket (very lame,
FOX)... here are some highlights (be warned of spoilers):
- Summer Glau will be back, in full force.
- Brian Austin Green is joining the cast as a series regular, so,
no New 90210 for him.
- Some very minor spoilers from Mr. Friedman: "The show is
about the family and everything that concerns the family concerns
us. Last year, John was still in denial and didnt want the
problems of being a hero. This season will be his coming of age
year. John will grow up and what will be interesting is that as
the boy grows into a man, the less hell needs his mother.
Saras ex will also be back. As will Agent Ellison. And I think
its fair to say that Agent Ellison has seen some things that
will make him re-consider everything hes known before."
- Friedman is not big on the idea of cameos, so we probably won't
be seeing Linda Hamilton or Michael Biehn.
- The goal is for next season to incorporate more action. More
"Future War" episodes are possible, but they are the most
expensive to make, and the msot time consuming.
You can read a more complete recap at The
TV Addict.
DVD News!
MovieWeb
was also included on the phone junket, and passed along the following
news about the DVD, from Friedman himself:
"(Consulting producer) James Middleton says August. We did
do a bunch of extras for the DVD. There's at least three commentaries
out of the nine episodes, including a pilot commentary, one on the
finale, one on the future episode, so we did a bunch of those. There
are some mini-docs, we've got some good stuff. I think it's gonna
be really cool. We had Summer (Glau), Thomas (Dekker), Lena (Headey),
(director) David Nutter, James (Middleton) and some of the other
writers and Brian (Austin Green) also. We all did commentaries,
so there's some good stuff on it. I like it."

Season
2 Confirmed!
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that a second season of Terminator:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles is on its way.
The initial Season 2 order is for 13 episodes; however, 13-episode
commitments are frequent for networks, and should the new season
launch to good ratings, we'll hopefully be getting more.

She'll
Be Back!
TV Guide's Michael Ausiello has posted the news that we've
all been hoping for - Terminator: The
Sarah Connor Chronicles will be back for a second season.
No further information is available yet, but we thought we'd pass
along this very good news!
Thanks to FOX for making a good decision for once! (Of course,
reps from the network still aren't confirming anything)
We haven't had much news yet about whether or not FOX will be ordering
a second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,
though we are hopeful. In the meantime, of course, remember that
both Amazon.com's Unbox
service and iTunes
offer episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
for legal downloading. To find the episodes, justswing
over to Amazon and place your order or hop
onto iTunes and order them there!
A lot of orders will probably provide more incentive to renew Sarah
Connor for another season, also.
[See above for an update - apparently
the show WILL BE BACK!]
Beyond that... both Thomas Dekker and Lena Headey have
signed on to movies over their summer hiatus.
Thomas will be in My Sister's Keeper, also starring Cameron
Diaz, Jason Patric, and Abigail Breslin. Thomas plays the "older
sister's boyfriend" who is also a cancer survivor.
Lena will be in Tell-Tale opposite Josh Lucas. The movie
is said to be inspired by the famous Edgar Allen Poe story "The
Tell-Tale Heart."
And in other movies, Anton Yelchin, who will be playing
Chekov in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reinvention, is said to
be in negotiations to play a teenaged Kyle Reese in the upcoming
fourth Terminator film. Let's just hope they remember that
Kyle now has a brother in the continuity...
We'll keep you updated over the summer as soon as more information
becomes available! In the meantime, of course feel free to visit

T:SCC Executive Producer Josh Friedman Announces His Return
Over at the FOX Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicleswiki,
series creator Josh Friedman has posted a blog announcing his return
to writing duties at the conclusion of the Writers' Strike.
Here's what he had to say in the first of what may be a regular
blog feature at the T:SCC Wiki:
WERE BACK.
When the writers strike started fourteen weeks ago,
Executive Producer John Wirth and I decided to cease performing
our Executive Producer duties. I wont speak for John but
as for me, this was a painful choice. I could have continued doing
the non-writing aspects of my job. But I was and am a writer first
so I chose to leave.
In doing so, John and I left James Middleton, our tireless
friend and consulting producer, to balance an elephant on his
nose without the aid of a peanut. (By the way, consulting producer
suggests he has had someone to consult with since the strike began,
or that others might be consulting with him. Truth is, we have
left him completely alone. James has been the ONLY producer of
this show for the entire strike.)
James oversaw the editing, mixing, effects, and music of every
episode after the pilot. He has done every interview, confronted
every problem, placed and answered every phone call, gotten up
early and stayed up late. He has done a job that was previously
being handled by three of us, and as far as Im concerned
he has done it better.
If you love the show, say a special thank you to James. If
you dont love the show, its all my fault. John and
I love the show. So well say a special thank you to James:
A special thank you to James.
I have assiduously avoided promoting this show during the
strike but I want all of you to know it is not for lack of interest
or passion. I have been lurking on your chatrooms, bookmarking
your websites, reading your reviews, and otherwise acting like
a dad spying on his kid during freshman orientation week at college.
Not that my dad did that (as far as I know) and not that I will
do that (as far as you know).
As anyone who knows me can attest, my self-imposed silent
treatment has been extremely painful; it is VERY DIFFICULT for
me to keep my mouth shut.
Please be assured that I am VERY familiar with the rules of
time travel as explained by Kyle Reese in the first movie. When
Cromarties head goes through the time bubble, THERE IS FLESH
ON IT. If you cant see it, thats because a) its
burning off very quickly and b) certain people dont like
it when we show burning flesh, cyborg or not.
(Historical note: The first person to ask me this head/bubble
question was Jared in Props--a year ago while we were shooting
the pilot.)
I would also like to mention that anyone who thinks Lena Headey
isnt big enough or tough enough to play Sarah Connor has
not had the unpleasant surprise of been punched by her. I haveand
I can only hope that someday each and every one of her doubters
can experience her qualifications in this very clear and personal
way.
This weeks episode is called Queens Gambit.
It was written by Natalie Chaidez, a refugee from Heroes who,
despite her small stature, is definitely the writer on our staff
whom I would least want to get into a fistfight with. When we
began shooting this episode Natalie expressed a great dissatisfaction
for the number of times in previous episodes Sarah Connor had
been seen in her trademark tank top. I think we make up for it
in this one.
This episode includes what may be my favorite Cameron moment
to date. I wont say what it is but its freaking big
As tempting as it is to download everything Ive been
pondering the last four months, I think Ill wrap up this
first Joshblog now. On behalf of all of the writers, Id
like to thank everybody for watching the showwe know that
were caretakers of a franchise that many of you love and
were trying to handle it with all the passion and geekness
that you would if it was you.
Wed also like to thank you for your support these last
fourteen weeksmany of you came out and walked picket lines
with us, or sent us emails, or just bitched online about how much
you missed your shows. It meant a lot to us. The ability to broadcast
on the public airways is a superpower that should only be used
for the good of the people. Thanks for reminding our industry
of that.
Take Back the Future.

A dedicated forum for "Queen's Gambit" can be found here.
FOX has released some very spoilery images from the February 18
episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
The title of the episode is "Dungeons and Dragons," and
if I didn't know any better, they very well may be revealing who
Brian Austin Green is playing....
FOX's official write-up of the February 18 episode of Terminator:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles, "Dungeons & Dragons,"
includes the revelation that a major character from Terminator
lore may soon be showing on the series...
To get out the hype that a new episode of Terminator: The Sarah
Connor Chronicles airs on Monday, FOX allowed several websites
and members of the press to participate in a special telephone press
conference with Summer Glau (Cameron).
In this conference, Glau talked about her character (of course!),
her evolution, and of course, she talked about comparisons between
Cameron and Firefly's River Tam.
TerminatorSite's Craig Byrne was one of those who participated
in the conference call.
FOX has released their official description for "Queen's Gambit,"
the fifth episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,
scheduled to air on February 11.
The third episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Talks To... Richard T. Jones (Agent James Ellison)
Continuing our marathon of interviews with the cast of Terminator:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles, we now share our interview with
Richard T. Jones (Agent James Ellison) conducted by TerminatorSite's
Craig Byrne.
"I believe what drives [Ellison] is a little bit of anger,
and a little bit of frustration, because she was the case that got
away from me," Jones says of his character. "My career
has become stagnant because I lost the crazy one who talked about
the robots, so now I'm almost like the X-Files guy. Nobody wants
to work with me, and I'm the guy who gets the cases like 'who stole
McDonald's' and that type of stuff, and I think he's just motivated
by solving the case that got away."
Jones hopes that eventually his path will cross with that of Sarah
Connor. "I can't wait for that to start happening," he
says. "Right now I'm still on the chase. I think as I get closer
to the revelation of Sarah Connor still being around, and as I get
closer to the revelation of robots existing, I think eventually
I'm going to have to run into her," he laughs.
Thanks go out to Richard T. Jones for speaking with us!

Terminator:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles Takes Back The Sunday For FOX!
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was a ratings success
in its series premiere, winning its timeslot. It is reported that
18 million viewers watched the very first episode last night.
More definitive numbers should be available shortly.
If Sarah Connor can continue on this momentum (and you'll
all be sure to watch tonight, right?), a second season will be a
certainty.
TerminatorSite
Talks To... Thomas Dekker (John Connor)
Continuing our marathon of interviews with the cast of Terminator:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles, we now share our interview with
Thomas Dekker (John Connor) conducted by TerminatorSite's
Craig Byrne. Here's what Thomas had to say...
"The thing about John that I like, that is interesting as
an actor, is that he's constantly fighting his own battle inside
himself, which is that he really doesn't want this burden,"
Thomas says. "Who would want it? But on the other hand, he's
also really... he has it in there. It's there, so there's a big
part of him that wants to fight, that wants that time to be there
already, and then there's another part of him that's like no, no,
no, go away. So there's an interesting argument."
Thomas also spoke of his working relationship with Lena Headey,
who plays his mother, Sarah Connor. "I've said this a million
times in interviews, so people are going to have heard it again,
but out of every honor I've had doing this show, that's been the
biggest gift. Because I love her. We love each other. Working 14
hours, 16 hours a day with people, if we didn't like each other,
I would have killed myself."
Keeping the secrets of the show's future to himself, Thomas did
reveal that there will be some evolution to his character as the
series progresses. "We said from Day One that it would be an
arc. We wanted to start one place and eventually end up a totally
different one. He's growing. He's changing. He's maturing. So we
kind of started it in a place of fear and anxiety, and shyness,
and he's sort of breaking out of that," he says.
Thanks go out to Thomas Dekker for speaking with us! Next up...
look for interviews with Richard T. Jones (James Ellison) and consulting
producer James Middleton!

Talks To... Summer Glau (Cameron)
Just in time for the premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor
Chronicles, several members of the show's cast as well as producer
James Middleton made their way to the Shrine Auditorium & Expo
for the Los Angeles Comic Book & Sci Fi Convention.
TerminatorSite's Craig Byrne was able to speak with those people
for interviews specially for this site. Expect them to be rolled
out one by one; a recap of the T:SCC panel itself will be
posted momentarily.
We're going to start off with some quotes from someone who is already
quite popular among fans of science fiction - Summer Glau, who
plays "Cameron" on the new series.
One thing we asked is if it is difficult to play a character that
is so emotionless and robotic in certain situations, including a
very tense action-packed sequence in the series' second episode.
"I am more comfortable with it over time, but it was very
hard to get used to," Summer reveals. "I would say [it
was] the little details you don't think about.. like crossing my
legs, or moving my hair out of my face. I had to really strip myself
of all of those human habits."
"It is very difficult when you're doing a scene with someone
who's very emotional, she continues. "I do a lot of scenes
with Lena [Headey], and she's a very passionate character. Very,
very human and emotional, and I, as an actress, can't give any back
to her. I just feel really guilty."
Summer Glau has very positive things to say about her fellow actors,
Lena Headey and Thomas Dekker. "They make me laugh," Summer
jokes, before being interrupted by Thomas signing a poster. "We
work really long hours, and it's a very small cast. And if you look
around at the casts of TV right now, they're all ensemble, and here
we are making this really, really big action series where we're
working a lot of hours, and it's just three people to really spread
the workload around. So, being with people who make me laugh, and
feel really close to and supported by, it's a blessing."
Thanks go out to Summer Glau for taking the time to speak with
TerminatorSite. Stay tuned to read some comments from Thomas Dekker
(John Connor), Richard T. Jones (James Ellison), and consulting
producer James Middleton within the next 24 hours!

James Middleton. Some minor spoilers are within (find one of them
on our spoilers page), but
it's a great article, so run out and pick the issue up!
Before having the role of John Connor on Terminator: The Sarah
Connor Chronicles, Thomas Dekker was known to fans of
sci-fi television as Zach, the best pal to Hayden Panettiere's Claire
Bennet on Heroes.
In an exclusive interview at TVGuide.com, Thomas talks about that
past role and why the role on Terminator has been so much
more special for him - especially in his relationships with his
co-stars, such as Summer Glau and Lena Headey.
"The three of us, including Lena, it's almost become bizarre
how close we've become," Thomas says. "I've been working
for 14 years and I've never bonded with people I've worked with
people I could call friends. But we are just inseparable.
We go out to eat together. We drive each other home. It's a crazy
thing."
Thomas also talks about his influences other takes on the John
Connor character. To read the full TV Guide interview, swing

The
Sarah Connor Chronicles Hits Facebook
FOX has launched an official community for Terminator: The
Sarah Connor Chronicles on Facebook.com.
At this community, one can find several exclusive on-set videos
from The Sarah Connor Chronicles and more.
IGN.com
caught up with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles executive
producer Josh Friedman earlier this week. They talked during
this week's "Bring a Star Day" of picketing by the still-striking
Writers' Guild writers.
Friedman revealed that, because he is on strike, he is not participating
in locking the episodes, but the show will be continuing without
him as the strike persists.
"I have a very good non-writing producer, who is in there
doing the best that he can. But editing is writing and it's another
way to make your vision known. It's very frustrating for me not
to be there. I have the choice. I can be there per my contract,
but to me everything comes from writing and I just can't imagine
walking past writers who aren't getting paid in order to pick up
my producing paycheck. That just seems immoral," he says.
"They are editing without me. They're doing effects without
me. They're shooting without me. They're doing everything without
me, and it's very painful," Friedman says to IGN. "This
is my first show and I usually have my hands in every little thing
and that's how I like it. It's a difficult decision for any showrunner,
because they're very protective of their material. They want to
keep the work going for their crews. Those are our second families.
It's challenging, but I just made a conscious choice that I'm a
writer first and always and I wouldn't have my executive producer
job if I wasn't a writer. So I respectfully declined."
Friedman, like many other writers, would like the strike to end
as soon as possible. "Ultimately that's all we want,"
he says. "Everything that we do is about trying to get people
to the table, have an honest conversation, get a fair deal and go
back to work and do what we do. I mean I don't want to be walking
out here in the sun."
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles won't be premiering
until January, so in the meantime here at TerminatorSite, we'll
be sharing reviews with you of the three movies that introduced
Sarah Connor, John Connor, and the Terminators to this world.

Alters Schedule; Sarah Connor To Premiere One Day Early In
Two-Night Event
FOX has announced today that they will premiere Terminator:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles over two nights, rather than just
on January 14, 2008 as originally expected.
Now, TSCC will premiere its first hour on Sunday, January
13 at 8PM, with Part Two airing on Monday, January 14 at 9PM. Mondays
at 9PM will be Sarah Connor's weekly timeslot.
The timeslot change comes in the wake of the announcement that
24 will delay its seventh season until they know they have a
full season's worth of interrupted episodes available.
Executive Producer Josh Friedman's blog
reveals that a pilot and eight episodes of Sarah Connor have
been shot prior to the strike, but none beyond the pilot have been
edited or locked as of yet. Hopefully this strike will resolve itself
quickly so we can get 12 episodes as predicted this Spring.
The
Sarah Connor Chronicles Premiere: January 13 & 14 on FOX!
The Sarah Connor Chronicles gets a new full
title (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) and an official
launch date of Sunday, January 13 and Monday, January 14, 2008.
Here's the official press release:
Again facing relentless Terminators that will stop
at nothing until John Connor, the future leader of the resistance,
is eliminated, Sarah Connor stops running and starts fighting back
against fate and the machines that are out for her son in the highly
anticipated new series TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES premiering
in January 2008 on FOX.
Unfolding where the film “Terminator 2: Judgment Day”
leaves off, TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES finds SARAH
(Lena Headey) and her 15-year-old son JOHN CONNOR (Thomas Dekker)
alone in a dangerous world. As fugitives from the law, they are
confronted by the ever-evolving technological enemy bent on destroying
their lives, and perhaps the world. Balancing his inevitable fate
as the possible savior of mankind and his current life as an ordinary
high school student, John must learn what it takes to become the
future leader of the people’s resistance. His only friend
is CAMERON (Summer Glau), an enigmatic and otherworldly student
at his high school who soon proves to be much more than his confidante
– she assumes the role of Sarah and John’s fearless
protector. Together, Sarah, John and Cameron, all extraordinary
in their own right, attempt to become a “normal” family.
On their trail are not only threats from the future, but an intelligent
and tough FBI agent, JAMES ELLISON (Richard T. Jones), who just
may become a powerful ally.
TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES represents an exciting
reinvention of the “Terminator” film franchise, in which
the strong and intrepid Sarah discovers that protecting her son
and stopping the rise of the machines is more difficult than she
had ever imagined.
Produced by C2 Pictures in association with Warner Bros. Television,
TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES is executive-produced by
Josh Friedman and John Wirth. James Middleton serves as consulting
producer, while Toni Graphia serves as co-executive producer and
Natalie Chaidez serves as a consulting producer for the series.
The pilot was directed by David Nutter.
