Blogging the TCA Blogs #8 - “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”

iF Magazine gets the download on Season 2:

(Executive Producer Josh Friedman) also notes that the series will be coming more self-contained vs. serialized like a bulk of Season One was. There will still be an overriding arc, but there will now be more closed-ended episodes as well.
Other info revealed is director David Nutter (who helmed last year’s pilot episode) returns for the Season Two premiere (something he rarely does for series he starts off), Cromartie (Garret Dillahunt) returns and the theme will be “evolution” according to Friedman.

After Ellen on Cameron’s arc:

…afterward I joined a group of reporters who mobbed Summer Glau, and she leaked a few more details about the next season. “I can tell you relationships do change this season,” she said. “I can’t say how, but everything is changing. … [Cameron]’s growing quite a bit, I think people are going to be surprised.”

TV Squad on John Connor:

Thomas Dekker told the critics to expect his character, John Connor, to be a little less of a weak kid this year. “He was able, but didn’t have blood in him to be a leader,” he said. “The plan was to keep him young, have long hair, go to school and be normal, his essence of youth and innocence still there. A lot of that dies at the beginning of this season. (The writers are) trying to do it subtly in the script.”

The TV Addict on SCC vs. the next film:

James Middleton was asked about the challenges about working on the Terminator TV show, and the new Christian Bale Terminator movie coming out next May, and said that they both take “cues” from the original films, but that they take the original idea and go in two different directions. Each franchise is meant to live alone, and they’re buffeted by the idea that “fate is what you make it” - i.e. these could be different alternate realities for the different characters from Terminator.

BAG to the Future

TV Guide gets Brian Austin Green to dig into what’s coming up in season two of T:SCC, his past on that other infamous FOX series, and his rowdy personal zoo (including his potbellied pig!).

The Geeks Squeek

Turns out the Saturn Awards were overrun with Terminators last week!

Not only did collider.com get an exclusive with trophy gal Summer Glau, they got the Cromartie himself, Garret Dillahunt, to open upabout his geeky side.

Everybody Changes

E! has got the goods, specifically dish on the new season of T:SCC. We don’t want to ruin too much (so be forewarned if you’re looking to stay clear of spoilers!), but they managed to pry some snazzy details about what’s coming up for Cameron and the Connors.

Check out what Summer, Thomas, Garret, and creator Josh Friedman had to say over at Watch With Kristin.

The Con — Still On

Warner Bros. TV’s plans for “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” and “Fringe” at Comic-Con plus more details on what 20th Century Fox TV will be doing.

It’s all right here.

Summer on Saturn

She’s still kicking — off the show at least.

T:SCC’s own robotic force, Summer Glau (Cameron), took home the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress on Tuesday night, besting some pretty serious competition.

Goodbye NYC, Hello SCC

Definitely Not Garbage

Lena Headey, Summer Glau, and now… Shirley Manson? Here’s your exclusive first look at the newest member of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles from her first day on set.

Debate the Submission

Playing a woman that’s one-part mother, one-part soldier can’t be easy. May 31st was the deadline for actors to submit sample episodes for Emmy consideration and Entertainment Weekly and Variety and LA Times proclaim Lena Headey as one of their picks for an Emmy nomination this season. So which was the best Sarah Connor moment of season one? What should Lena have submitted?

Terminator Tidbits

Non-Spoiler-ish: SummerGlau.net has pix of the cast in NY for the television upfront presentation. Summer never shows her teeth!

Non-Spoiler-ish unless you haven’t seen S1: Artist and illustrator Adrien Van Viersen has posted his storyboards. Very cool.

Very Spoiler-ish: SarahConnorSociety.com has pix from the location shoot of the S2 premiere episode. We’re particularly fond of the ones where Lena is eating lunch.

Get a load of the first day of shooting on season 2 of Terminator!

I’m Only Happy When it Rains

Scottish singer Shirley Manson from the band Garbage is coming to Terminator. She’s playing “Catherine Weaver,” the CEO of a “cutting-edge high-tech company” (read into that what you will…)

Does this mean we’re getting the musical episode (ala Buffy) that we’ve been secretly hoping for?

Everyone’s a Comedian

At least stay through to Kal Penn’s last line at the end of the clip.

38,573,000 Civilians Died

We’re not claiming to know what this company is. Nor do we know this man.

Although, some of these people seem to have an idea.

Making the Premiere… Maybe?

Terminator is Casting?

At least according to Ask Ausiello:

The show is hunting for a couple of new regulars: Becky, a hot teenaged hipster, and Catherine, an unusually earthy business bigwig in her early forties. Which leads me to believe that young John is about to get a girlfriend. Because of the new teenager, I mean, not the 40-year-old female Bill Gates. Although, now that I mention it, he does have some mother issues.

UPDATE: Since Fox hasn’t officially announced this, we merely linked to the rumors…
