From a marketing and post film/tv perspective just because TSCC was “too serialized” doesn’t make it bad, nor unprofitable. In fact, the networks who pick up such a series would be stoked b/se it build better regular viewers (to their advertisers). Another benefit is when the series does finally get canned, the DVD/BlueRay sales are often greater than for episodic runs due to it’s greater storyline and continuity format.

The problem with TSCC is that it was too serialized. Often episodic shows do far better than the serial ones, because it’s like once you miss one episode, everyone after that won’t make sense, and that’s just too much of a commitment to expect from the majority of the viewers. It’s fine with me because I know how to see any episodes I missed but not everyone knows how to or some are just not willing to go through the trouble.

Self Made Man was pretty damn good, I agree

The show sometimes felt “on and off” but for the most part is better than a lot of “popular” tv programming.

I think Bale proved himself to be a great actor long time ago.

And it’s interesting because you’ll hear that a DIRECTOR brought out great performances from ACTORS but you’ll never hear that an ACTOR brought out the best out of a DIRECTOR.

@ogb

Ditto…both posts. Agree word for word.

I hope they get this worked out. I liked the movie, plot holes and all. I like Bale. Premadonna? maybe but I liked him in 3:0 to Yuma.

I personally like the episode, ‘Self Made Man’ on TTSCC. You can download it in HD from Amazon for $2.99.

TSCC ended with a bang. That last episode was great. Sad we don’t get to see come back.

But HEY! Dancing with the Stars and American Idol are back

Amy I think the only thing you can expect of TSCC will be the second season dvds. That show is done,,,
And yes TSCC is owned by a different group…

Forget the movies! What about Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles? What does this all mean for the show and possibility of DVD movies? Or is it in the same boat and wait it out?

If you read the LA Times articles, it turns out that these two guys, Kubicek and Andersen, are not even from Hollywood, they’re just two guys who got off the bus and borrowed the money to make Terminator 4 as their first movie. No wonder the thing was messed up. If you make 300 million on a movie and still go bankrupt there’s something wrong and it ain’t the director!

Mcg and Bale can’t take the blame.
It was the folks behind the scenes telling them and tricking them into it…
Bale was duped and Mcg wanted this to be his break out film success…

Read between the lines of this article. These snakes that are suing each other are to blame…

@Josh R

Even though he didn’t actually write it, the director has a lot of influence over the script and plot of the movie. If he really thought it was bad, he would have done something about it. I’m not saying he’s a BAD director, but he’s certainly not a good one. He’s good at the technical aspects, getting the shots, directing the action and whatever, but I think his judgment in the plot and dialog is a bit lacking. I just hope they get some good writers for the next one so at least it’ll be a bit more entertaining to watch than T:Salvation. Salvation was an ok watch, could have been much better though.

Man, I want to watch T2 again…

“I know now why you cry, but it’s something I can never do.”

Wow, what a great line to end the movie with… And then Sarah Connor, the person who hated Terminators more than anyone, extending her hand to shake his hand, and giving him that nod of approval/respect. That was moving. Can’t wait to see that kind of writing in a Terminator movie again… But it’s not likely to ever happen… Oh well… It’ll suck if T5 is made and it’s another disappointment like it looks to be, then we’ll actually have more bad Terminator movies than good ones. At least now the score is even…
