The Unusuals and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles were canceled today. Dagger. I was really getting into The Unusuals, and of course I'm bummed about being rid of my David Silver action. Asses.
Dollhouse got renewed though, so that's good. And even though I thought those cancellations would mean I would have more free time, they're going to do a Fall season of So You Think You Can Dance. That's in addition to the Summer season which starts Thursday! Yay!

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: Series Finale?
If this ends up being the last episode ever, it's actually a perfect one. So I'd be OK with that. I like the open-ended-ness, which suits a mind-eff time-travel series.
Sarah's stuck at the jail the whole time. She gets word to John that he's supposed to leave her and move on. Ten bucks says that Mama's Boy can't leave well enough alone.
Shirley Manson Terminator wants to meet with John. Ellison finds John and Cameron, but John won't agree to meet with Shirley. In that case, Ellison asks Cameron a question from Shirley: "Will you join us?" Cameron claims to not know what that means.
Cameron and John show up to the jail to spring Sarah. John Henry watches the whole thing on the video monitors and helps disarm the security system. This means all of the prisoners break out and their escape is even easier in the ensuing chaos.
A Terminator arrives to kill Shirley, but of course she's a liquid metal model so she deflects the bullets... and electrocutes the Terminator. John Henry works to determine who sent the Terminator.
The Connors go to meet with Shirley Manson Terminator. Shirley tells them they have a common enemy - Sky Net - that she's been working to destroy. Then a flying Terminator comes crashing in the window and Shirley liquidizes herself into a metal shield to save them.
Meanwhile, Cameron goes to meet with John Henry. They're all "I know you." "I know you." "Will you join us?" When the Gang gets downstairs they find Cameron's "dead" and her chip is missing. She gave it to John Henry (to literally join them - which I totally called)... and they determine that he has time traveled. Shirley asks Ellison to pick her daughter up from gymnastics (LOL!) and then Shirley and John time-jump to find him. Sarah stays behind.
In the future, Derek (HI DAVID SILVER!) finds John - and he's never heard the name John Connor before. Also, John's Daddy is there with Cameron (I'm thinking it's the human version of Cameron). Well aren't we a big happy family now?
At the very end, we see someone transporting themselves into the future and Sarah's voice saying, "I love you too."
BONUS: The ad for Terminator: Salvation. OH HOLY NIGHT I can't wait for that movie. And the music gets me cised, as always.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Dead Charlie had a picture of Creepy Ginger Girl on his cell phone. Ew. Why? Or maybe it was one of the dead bad guys' phones. That would make more sense actually. I should really pay more attention. John finds it and recognizes her as a patient of his old shrink. So the Gang heads out to find her.
John Henry IMs and calls Savannah and I find that adorable. Even though he's a killing machine and she's a little kid. But they're friends, dammit! They're on the phone when Savannah's nanny is shot and a Terminator comes after her. He monitors the cameras in her house and helps her get away. OMG, he's the sweetest Terminator ever!! The Connor Gang arrives in time to get Savannah away.
BUT THE TERMINATOR SHOOTS DAVID SILVER IN THE FOREHEAD AND KILLS HIM -- OMG I WANT THIS TERMINATOR DEAD! When it happened it just happened in the middle of a scene, out of nowhere, and I just screamed, "NUH-UH!" I could hardly believe my eyes. Well, ain't life a bitch. R.I.P. David Silver. I'm bitter. I'd be more bitter if the show weren't likely to be canceled. Cancel it now for all I care. Without David Silver, I don't want to go on! (But good thing John Henry's still here.)
Savannah's mother, being the liquid-metal cold-hearted Terminator that she is, doesn't seem to be too upset over her daughter's disappearance. Savannah tells John about John Henry, the man that lives in her mom's company's basement. Once she mentions that John Henry has a cord in the back of his neck, John has the greatest "oh eff" reaction.
Agent Ellison sees the Connors on the security footage and meets with them. Sarah tries to explain what went down and then asks to see Shirley Manson Terminator. Cold Bitch Faceoff ahead!
Only they don't get the chance because Ellison double-crosses her (he swears he didn't know) and the cops arrest Sarah. They also give her the beat down, though to be fair, she went charging in beating up some cops, in typical kickass Sarah Connor fashion.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
I haven't blogged about this show in a while because every time I watched it, I'd just sit there with the blog window open and type nothing. The show hasn't been horrible, but it also felt like nothing happened. Even if Riley did die and Jesse maybe-died. But I thought I'd give it a shot this week.
I love John Henry. He is the cutest Killer Robot With the Mind of a Child ever. While he's playing with the Little Ginger Girl, he kind of shorts out when they're discussing "changing the rules." He's not so cute and childlike then. They power him down and then determine that someone planted a virus in his system. When they reboot him, he says, "There is another one like me."
The Connors leave their nice little home and go back on the run. Sarah pops by her old boyfriend Charlie's place, which happens to be a cute lighthouse. I love Charlie because he's played by Dean Winters from Oz. Who also happened to make a reappearance on 30 Rock this week. But I digress.
Sarah has discovered a lump in her breast, so she thinks that's the beginning of her cancer. She goes to the doctor who determines it's basically just scar tissue, but the scar tissue is forming around a piece of metal implanted in her chest. A transmitter. Sarah shocks herself with those cardiac paddle things in order to short out the transmitter.
But it's too late and the bad guys already know everyone's locations. The guys nab David Silver and come after John and Charlie at the lighthouse. Cameron saves David Silver OHTHANKGOD! My relief is short lived, however, when it's revealed that Charlie died. OHGODDAMMIT!

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
This post is brought to you by Kelly's Irish Cider, making bitches drunk since 2009. I don't think I'm going to get a lot out of this episode. And if David Silver's in it, I'll probably just freeze and my jaw will hang open.
Sarah works to remove the bloodstain from Riley's suicide attempt from the bathroom floor. No one ever thinks about the stains they leave behind, do they? It's pretty tacky to bleed all over someone else's floor. If you're going to kill yourself, do it in your own house. That's my policy.
Cameron cuts her arm open and it's nasty, I don't care if she has a metal skeleton, she still has blood and stuff. EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
David Silver's little Australian girlfriend Jesse meets with Sarah, pretending to be a guidance counselor and asking about Riley. She tells Sarah that Riley told her about their trip to Mexico and all this end-of-the-world bollocks. What is she trying to do? Make the Connors distrust Riley I guess. Also: when Cameron finds out, Riley's gonna be toast.
David Silver and Jesse are trying to nab some lawyer dude I didn't pay attention to. But before Jesse can leave to help him, Riley shows up to her hotel and attacks her. She figured out that Jesse wanted Cameron to kill Riley so that John would turn against Cameron. MASSIVE GIRLFIGHT!!! In the end, Riley dies.
Not bad, and that little twist made sense. Even to me. Now off to bed!

Terminator: The Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Sarah had bad dreams.
The end.
Well, at the end she did do this cool thing where she bit into her wrist (why? I'm not sure) and broke her thumbs so that she could escape from handcuffs.
I think I understand it now. I need to wish for a David Silver spinoff and just watch that.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
The Gang attends the vigil and funeral service for the victims of the factory that Shirley Manson blew up. I love how casual the whole gang is, still in their rugged military clothes. Try to blend in, huh guys? Sarah's wearing black jeans to go with her black leather jacket, I suppose that's mourning gear for her.
They worm their way into the good graces of various mourners, and piece some stuff together. Dead cows, secretive employees, and surveillance on all of the employees' homes. No real answers, but at the end a huge spaceship drone thing (which Sarah had seen before) flies off in front of them, only to be picked up and hauled away in a truck.
Bonus Pikesville, MD shout-out! Woo-hoo! My old home.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Sarah awakens in the hospital with her gunshot wound. There ain't no hospital that can keep her contained, so she strangles a cop with her IV and escapes with the help of a vision of Kyle Reese a/k/a Baby's Daddy. She kidnaps a doctor to get her to stitch her up properly, without any anesthetic, natch. But the doctor can't get to the bullet safely without proper instruments, so they go back to the hospital.
They sneak into the morgue so the doctor can do the surgery. Nice idea. Sarah trusts the doctor enough to go under anesthesia.
John's little girlfriend survives her little suicide attempt. David Silver's girlfriend breaks her out of the hospital.
Shirley Manson goes on a huge murder spree at that warehouse place that Sarah broke into/was shot at. Then she blows the place to holy hell.
In the most important development of the episode, David Silver looks skinny. Did he stop working out over the hiatus? He torches all the evidence that would lead the cops to Sarah, and picks her up from the morgue.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Sarah travels to a UFO Convention and meets up with a dude posing as a chick that Mike totally called was a dude. Mike knows his trannies. The Man Lady claims to have parts of a UFO, which Sarah thinks are really Terminator parts I guess. Sarah sees one of the UFOs. I don't know what's happening here.
We find out who John's little girlfriend Riley really is. Or will be, I guess, since she's from The Future. She came through to the Present with David Silver's Aussie girlfriend. Her mission: to keep John away from "her". That's vague.
I know this show isn't called The David Silver Chronicles, but COME ON!!!

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
At the start of the episode, Sarah sends David Silver to help a muy pregnant woman who has been shot. And then we get a flashback to 6 months ago when Sarah and Cameron saved the woman and her family from the Terminators. In turn, David Silver has a flashforward to the teenaged daughter being a doctor who saves his life in the future.
So the episode goes back and forth between past, present, and future. This show tends to do that kind of unusual storytelling a lot - and it's effective. I really like when the show goes into the future because David Silver is a badass and the end of the world is cool and destruction is kickass.
The woman dies giving birth. The baby ends up being a girl David Silver meets in the future who has an immunity to a virus and saves mankind or some such (in partnership with her doctor sister).
You know what this episode wasn't missing? John Connor. Which is to say, he wasn't in the episode at all, but I didn't miss him.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
This week's episode featured a guy in a wheelchair. This show is taunting me now, right?
Cameron sees a Terminator model in a picture from the 1920's. Luckily there is also plenty of 1920's news footage about the guy. So we get loads of flashbacks, and all this information that comes from the library like it's a GD police station or something.
All this leads Cameron to figure out that the 1920's Terminator has holed himself up into a wall, where he plans to assassinate the Governor in 2010. So she kills him. I really didn't follow how she noodled that one through. I guess that's what makes her a Terminator.
This was the lamest plot contrivance B.S. ever. And BORING! WHERE IS DAVID SILVER!? THERE WAS NO DAVID SILVER!!! Hell, there was no Sarah. And all John did was make out with Riley a little. I don't think he even touched boob.
DULL!

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
David Silver finds out that his girlfriend came back from the future to get rid of Cameron. Because in the future, John is taking Cameron's counsel or something and killing good people.
The girlfriend is working with Riley, John's little girlfriend. I knew something was up with Riley when I saw her bedroom. What kind of teenage girl has posters of Yosemite and a bear catching a salmon on her wall? Honestly. Where were the My Chemical Romance and Twilight posters? Riley is a weirdo. And I guess she's from the future too.
The rest of the show was computer chip/AI nonsense. Shirley Manson Terminator's AI has a name - John Henry - and it may have killed the psychiatrist who was working with it. The AI has no morals. Well, duh. It's a computer.
But things got creepy at the end when they hooked up John Henry to the Bad Terminator - and now he talks and interprets what John Henry says. Creepy!

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
David Silver's girlfriend runs into a man from the future who works with the machines, and proceeds to tie him up and slap him around. He claims he's not who she thinks he is. He's just a simple watchmaker. Sure. That's what Sylar says too. David Silver works some really nice pulling-out-the-fingernails torture! WOOHOO! The guy caves.
David's girlfriend tells him that in the future he is held captive and tortured by this man. She ends up shooting the guy. David Silver can't remember being held at all. He's thinking that their actions in the present are changing the future and maybe he's from a future where it didn't happen and she's from one where it did. My eyes go crossed at that point.
Cameron and John drive to Mexico to properly dispose of the Bad Terminator's body. Surprise - he's not in his grave. It turns out FBI Guy has it, and has brought it in for Shirley Manson Terminator to take a gander at.
And Sarah's no good to anyone, all sick and having weird dreams about babies and tortoises and cacti and 3 spots. How did Sarah Connor become the most boring person on this show? That's supposed to be John.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
This episode had a cool way of telling the story through each character's perspective. Scenes would overlap and then go in different directions following one of the characters when they split off.
John's off gallivanting with his gf Riley, taking a bus down to Mexico. And now I want Mexican food. They get thrown in prison for a bar fight, and then proceed to break out. Rather than wait for David Silver to come get them.
Terminator dude arrives at the Connor house and drags Sarah around, kidnapping her. When we see Sarah's perspective of events, it's just her in the trunk of the car while there's all kinds of shootouts and chases going on outside. Turns out all that is taking place at the prison, where the Terminator has come to find John, and so has Agent Ellison.
The good guys corner the Terminator in a church and shoot him the eff up. They bury the body and destroy his brain chip thing. Or, more precisely, Sarah goes medieval on the chip's ass.

The Connors got their stuff stolen. Really - that was the plot.
John was grocery shopping, the Terminator Dude was hunting them down, and Sarah and David Silver were looking for their stolen stuff. Really.
Need. More. Guns. Cameron killed a couple dudes, but still. MORE!

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
The show recently got a full season pick up so yay for more Terminator.
This week was Family Psychology Week. John talks to a counselor and so does the Shirley Manson Terminator's daughter. She's weirded out by her, because kids can sense when their mothers have turned into liquid-metal Terminators, duh. And liquid-metal Terminators make really really bad, emotionally distant mothers.
David Silver's girlfriend in the future has been sent back to this time, and he sees her in the park and catches up to her. She's gone AWOL from the war, and is just kickin' it in a hotel, chillin' in the past. Must be nice. Of course this does not turn David Silver on. David Silver does not like a coward. But then he comes back later, and he does. Cuz, let's face it, David Silver NEEDS TO GET LAID!
We get a new freaky Terminator chick in the mix, as one pops in from the future. And this one has really bad hair. She's come to kill the psychologist. She and Cameron meet up and beat the crap out of each other. A crazy, weird acrobatic fight that ends with the other chick all folded up, the heel of her boot stuck in her eye. Gross!
In the end, Shirley Manson offers the psychologist a job - to help her "raise" the AI she's making, since it's like a child.

Terminator: David Silver Badassery
This show is always awesome when it features David Silver war flashbacks (flash-forwards technically). And thus tonight was awesome.
Another Terminator is in town to hunt down and kill one of John Connor's future lieutenants. John and David Silver go all undercover at the kid's military school to protect him.
In the meantime, the ladies are protecting an even younger kid with the same name from being killed as well. But this means essentially kidnapping the kid - they don't even let him call his mother! I get that he would trust them (maybe) because they saved him from being killed, but wow that was one trusting, not-scared kid.
His parents are good parents, and they're looking for him, going on TV and asking for his return. But the kid is pretty much fine with being a captive. SO WEIRD!
But back to the important part - David Silver defending all the military school students from the Terminator when he comes at night. There is shooting and running and burning of Terminators in tar pits. Yes!
This was probably the best episode yet, except for that strange Stockholm Syndrome Kid. (They ended up letting him go once that Terminator died.)

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
So is this show gonna get canceled? That would suck. I love it. And Brian Austin Green needs the work.
The hugely pregnant chick next door needs to go to the hospital so Sarah takes her. Is Sarah going to just sit in a hospital room all episode instead of kicking ass!? (The answer is yes.)
Cameron has flashbacks while she grocery shops. They send the Terminator grocery shopping!? (The answer is yes.) She suddenly doesn't know who she is, gets arrested, hangs out with a street kid, and flashbacks some more.
This show has suddenly gotten too domestic. AND WHERE IS DAVID SILVER!?
Thank goodness for the flashbacks (I guess fast-forwards actually), which show Cameron as "Allison", some kind of prisoner. Turns out Cameron was modeled after Allison, who was a buddy of John Connor, to infiltrate the Resistance. But brave Allison doesn't cooperate and is killed by Cameron.
I find your lack of Brian Austin Green disturbing. And no, I never thought I would ever type those words, ever. No BAG, no guns. What the hell show is this!?

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Sarah's ex's wife (I just call her Penny from Lost) gets kidnapped by the Bad Terminator. So Sarah and David Silver set off to help find her. David Silver wields a big-ass gun. When they do, she's on a chair that's rigged to explode if it's moved. Only it was a fake bomb. To distract them all so the Terminator can find John. Who has run off to go shopping with his GF Riley - without Cameron. Oopsie. But all is well for him, as he of course outsmarts the Terminator and escapes him.
Unfortunately for Charlie, in all of the ensuing explosions, etc., his wife bleeds out in his arms. Dagger.
Also, the liquidy Shirley Manson Terminator talks to the FBI Guy. (At some point I'll pay attention to actual names. Maybe.) She wants his help to find the Bad Terminator.
I liked this episode because I love that guy who plays Charlie and I felt so sad for him. And also David Silver had tattoos and guns.

Terminator: John is Badass Now
John has a haircut now so he has completely gone hardcore, y'all. And there's this chick named Riley interested in him - he must be exuding badass at school too. You have the scent of murder on you, you get chicks. It's simple math.
The Connor Clan gets a visitor from the future who says "Stop Greenway" before he dies on their living room floor. Greenway turns out to be an employee of a power plant that's going to undergo a test in two days. A power plant which Sarah and Cameron easily get temp jobs at and infiltrate. Uh-huh. They even hang out with their new co-workers at the power plant hangout bar. Mmm-hmmm.
The big dilemma of the episode involves 1) to shut down or not shut down the power plant and 2) should John be able to lead a normal life and hang out with girls.
Greenway gets replaced with a robot, and he tries to sabotage the plant. There is much Terminator-to-Terminator hand-to-hand combat. He is finally defeated. Also - Sarah totally gets exposed to radiation, so maybe that's how she gets cancer.
So look, the plots on this show are still kinda weak, but as long as Brian Austin Green is walking around with his scruffy hotness sneaking into places and being a general badass, you won't see me complaining.
