Sarah Connors Chronicles

Is this what I think it is? O.o

Lost

WHY??

[i_kender]

Yes. It's said to take place between the events of T2 and T3, and follows Sarah and John Connors on the run from the machines.

Lost- Interesting story. The network wanted three more seasons, the writers only wantd two more, and were adamant that they wanted to get to the ending they had planned (coughcough)... so they compromised. The network gets their 3 seasons (bringing it to 6 in total!) but they are shorter seasons, so the writers can have the same number of episodes/stories they'd always planned to. Also starting later in the schedule to avoid those irritating mid-season hiatus issues.

Honestly? I was starting to get bored of Lost, but it's started picking up again recently. I'm not sure how many people are still watching though. Lost writers? WE WANT ANSWERS! Thank you.

What inspired a network to pick up a show based on something so 'old.' Strange. Oh wait. It's probably been on the shelves for a while, but now that sci fi shows are picking up and garnering interest, the networks are all about dusting them off. Unless it's really well written though, we're going to run into the same issues of high budget f/x, not being worth the time.

Also, re the shows being cancelled: It's always sad when critically acclaimed shows get cancelled. You know it's because too many people are interested in them damn reality shows instead of good clean intelligent tv.

Akh. Sorry to have to be the one to tell you, but Jericho's been cancelled! :( I hope Skeet finds another decent show soon, he was really good in this one.
