Well, it's official folks. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (SCC) are no more. Fox TV officially announced it's fall lineup today, and the robot fighting sci-fi show is not included in it.
This news really saddens me after the SCC had such an amazing second season finale. Now we'll never find out what happened to John Connor after he jumped forward in time to a point after Judgement Day, in a world that never had John Connor to lead humanity's resistence.
Damn you Fox! Damn you to hell!!!
Suprisingly though, Joss Whedon's Dollhouse has been picked up for a second season. I had figured the show for dead after having pulled in rather dismal ratings all season, but apparently the suits over at Fox didn't want another Firefly debacle on their hands afterall and have given Joss and his show about mind wiped pretty people (aka most of LA and Orange County, California) another chance.
While I'm happy to see Joss' show getting a second season, as it was getting more enjoyable near the end of the first one, I can't help but feel that the continuation of Dollhouse helped contribute to the cancellation of SCC. It's more than likely that with a limited amount of budgeting dollars for big Sci-fi shows, SCC's potential support died with the decision to keep Dollhouse. If I ever find out for sure if this is the case, I'll never be able to forgive Dollhouse for this horrible sin.
Two things to note of Dollhouse's new season though, the budget for the show is being cut by a whole hell of a lot, and each of the 13 new episodes will be 8 minutes shorter than the ones in the first season. So expect faster paced episodes with a lot less pretty effects than previously were on the show.
In final news, fans of the NBC show Chuck can rejoice. It's been picked up for one more season as well. It looks like people buying all of those Subway sandwiches may have paid off afterall.
