Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles replay

[RedRock]

So SciFi, excuse me, SyFy, is going to reshow all 31 episodes of this short-lived but nice series, starting THIS THURSDAY, April 7, AT 9 PM EASTERN:

If you never saw it, now's your chance. Nothing much else on Thursday nights, anyway.

"I Call 9mm!"


NOTE: April 7 will be two episodes, starting with the Pilot at 9 PM and the next episode at 10 PM. I assume it will be episode 2, but I can't really remember. And then April 14 there will be at least 4 episodes shown back to back, starting with 7 PM (and I assume the continuation of the series in order). I hate to add those lingering doubts about the episode sequence, but after what happened with the original showings of FireFly, I don't trust the network people anymore.

Cool, I'd heard about it, but always missed it.

It was an enjoyable show, but like most cancelled series, you're left hanging at the end. It would be nice if show writers knew much earlier if they were getting another season or not. Then they would know if they needed to build suspense, or start bring story elements to a conclusion.

I'm most of the way through watching the five seasons of Babylon 5, and they had the opposite problem. They thought they were being cancelled, so they capped off all the loose ends (good guys win and live happily after) at the conclusion of season 4. By the time they found out they were renewed for season 5, a few of the actors had already committed to other projects and had to be written out of the story, and new conflicts had to be invented since most of the old ones had been resolved.

So don't even think about watching the Crusade B5 spinoff--not much got done in 13 episodes or so!
