Can't they just show American Idol or one of their other crappy reality shows another night, and give Terminator another time slot?

This is a really good show with good acting, good writing, and interesting plot lines and characters. Honestly, how many years can Prison Break be interesting, and how many days can one guy have like Jack Bauer has?

3. I know, I want to see what happens!
With Weaver, John Henry, and the human who Cameron took her appearance from.

That show kicks ass.

4. Summer Glau got screwed over by Fox with Firefly,
it would be a shame to see it happen again with TSCC.

7. She is a badass terminator.
It has to be hard to remain that expressionless.

5. I don't know why they moved it in the first place.
It's one of the best shows on. If they cancel it they will put some bullshit reality show on.

6. I know, not like they can't move one of the 20 reality shows they have
that air 3 times a week each. Much of the viewership of Terminator now is from DVR and online, but that doesn't count towards ratings. People might watch it live if it was on Tuesday night.

8. You know if the Sci Fi Channel were worth anything they would
snatch the show up quickly.

11. Looks like you answered your own question
Instead, they'll air Mansquito and The Horror of the Rust Monster.

10. When it was on Monday, I watched every episode in first run
Since the move, I've only managed to see one episode, and that one I watched on Hulu.


Way to go, Fox!

9. It's like I'm a prophet or something

Of course, everyone knows that Fox can't wait to cancel a good show at the earliest opportunity.

12. Its one of only two shows I bother to watch.
... mostly because of Summer Glau, but still. I enjoy the rest of the show too. :)

13. I really like it.
I like the characters and it is good vehicle for Summer Glau. If they want to axe something, how about the Dollhouse?

14. Question about the season finale (spoiler)...
Where did the time machine come from?

I feel like I'm missing something. Errr. I suppose Weaver could have installed it.

15. and, to nitpick
I think in T1 they said you could only go back in time, not forwards

16. Well, in T1 the technology was just invented and used for the first time.
So its entirely possible that they couldn't then, but can now. :)

17. It looked like it was built into the John Henry mainframe.
I'll have to rewatch it to be sure.

18. Oh, so the time travel tech is built into the terminators themselves?

19. No, but the Weaver T-1000 knew what was going to happen so she built it into that one.
At least that's what I'm assuming.

20. I can't watch them on Friday nights
So I have been watching them online, and literally all day Saturday after I watched I kept pacing around saying oh my God they had better not cancel this now.

It's like the kiss of death, I love a show, so it has to be canceled. Not that Fox has really done a good job of handling the show, but I think I'm more to blame. Sorry. I think the only chance this show has is if Terminator Salvation does amazing box office numbers, they may try to capitalize on that.

My nagging question is: Who was the other person to come forward in time at the very end? There was one more time bubble that you could see off screen, then you could hear Sarah say, "I love you." Who came through?

21. I'd forgotten about Sarah Connor.
I watched the first season on DVD. I just went and put it on my Amazon wishlist - no release date, as yet. Thanks for the reminder.

22. I will be PISSED if it's cancelled!
This season's finale was far too much of a cliff hanger for them to cancel now.
