HA!

They're just ignoring the hell out of Terminator 3, aren't they? *snickers*

(Not that I blame them, really. I'll gleefully admit that I love the third movie, but I also love it knowing full well they bought my love with a movie-ending global nuclear apocalypse.)

EDIT: Stupid. Heh.

PET CYBORG OF EDIT: I love Summer Glau THIS MUCH. BUNCHES. BUNCHES AND BUNCHES AND BUNCHES. And I seriously knew a "9-11? What's that?" line was coming up.

SNOTTY COP OF EDIT: I didn't hear the couple of lines after "They will dress you like a flannel sock" because I was laughing so hard. Oh, show.

GROSS ROAD WORKER OF EDIT: The only thing that's making me feel positively orgasmic about any discussion between Cameron and Sarah (YOU GIVE GOOD DIALOGUE MMMM) is that thanks to John they inevitably break that rule about two women being in a scene together and talking about something other than a guy.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA EDIT: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I don't feel the need to explain my art sarcastic laughter to you, Warren.

HEY IT'S THAT GUY OF EDIT: Okay, fine, I'll explain my laughter. It comes in two parts.

1. Lawrence?!
2. Bomb Baum?!

I read an interview w/ the creator saying that they're totally doing that, and that this is their version of T3... not version but... it follows T2 directly and ignores T3.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I just find it hilarious because I was just watching that on FX (I think it was). Oh, man, I liked that movie more than is probably allowed as a diehard Terminator fan.

[gruyere.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's sort of T3':

IGN TV: Are you working within the continuity of the Terminator movies, specifically Terminator 3?

Friedman: We're gonna go off on our own. I think the thing about T3 is, obviously there was just no Sarah Connor and that's something the fans were never happy with. I don't even think the people who made T3 were happy with that. It just wasn't a choice of theirs. You know, Linda Hamilton was going through some things and didn't want to be a part of it. They had a script at one point I know; there was a T3 that had Sarah in it. I've never read it. I don't know anything about it. But I know that they did and they wanted to do that. They wanted it to be kind of her trilogy, and it never could be. So I think that my feeling was this TV series to me sort of serves as the third act to that trilogy - what could have happened had we followed that after T2. So I almost think of this as T3. To me it takes the place of T3. But also I think that sort of in the spirit of Terminator, it's an alternate timeline. I know a lot of people get very worked up about the continuity and the canon and all that stuff. What I try to do is stay very, very true to the first two movies and then sort of take it from there. But always remain true to the spirit of everyone's intent and again, take some time with this woman and explore what maybe would have happened.

I liked T3. Nick Stahl totally saved it for me.

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

At ComicCon, they were like "Yeaaaaah. This takes place after T2? And then... no one really cares about T3 anyway, right?"

(Oh my god, I should not like this show NEARLY AS MUCH AS I DO. But it is making me GIDDY.)

I have to write fic tonight or tomorrow. It's a moral imperative. *nods solemnly*

Ah, fuck. /runhomeandrecord

question

[gem225.livejournal.com]

OK, so I taped the first episode of The Sarah Connor Chronicles last night but haven't watched it and I'm taping tonight's episode now. Do I need to have seen the Terminator movies? Because I haven't. I don't even really know what the hell they were about. I know that I could do a little digging and find that out, and I will if I have to, but it would be really cool if I could just watch the show. I can't get thrilled about watching anything with Ah-nold in it. *g*

Re: question

[madripoor-rose.livejournal.com]

I think you can watch it with the basic premise: Sarah Connor's son John is going to be the leader of the rebels after robots take over the world. This hasn't happened yet. So they keep sending killer robots or terminators back in time after him...however John's sent a reprogramed terminator back in time to protect his younger self and his mother.

Re: question

[gem225.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the summary. That does sound cool. Maybe I need to watch the movies after all!

Re: question

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Um, probably, yeah. At the very least, I imagine the plot summaries in Wikipedia would spoil them just fine for watching the show.

Honestly, though? I cannot STAND Schwartzenegger and the Terminator series are some of my favorites. Turns out playing an emotionless cyborg makes him fairly tolerable. It's when he actually tries to act that it gets a little painful. :)

Re: question

[gem225.livejournal.com]

That's great. Thanks. The ads made it look cool, and I do like the idea of women kicking ass. :-D

And I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who isn't a fan of Schwartzenegger. Thanks again!

Re: question

[myniamh.livejournal.com]

I saw the first film when I was about ten or eleven, I loved it then and still do now.
Schwartzenegger is the bad guy in the first film so I don't mind him in it, the second one where you are supposed to form an attachment to him is slightly more annoying.

Re: question

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen the movies, although I'm currently planning to. I quite enjoyed both episodes. Although like they said, going to the Wikipedia article helps.

[madripoor-rose.livejournal.com]

I think the series is supposed to be between Terminator 2 and 3 in continuity, since 3 is when the Skynet Apocalpyse actually happens.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Can't be, unless John and Sarah eventually go back. T3's set in 2004 (the Skynet Apocalypse in T3 happens July 24, 2004), and in the movie Sarah's already dead by then. Either they're spoiling them going back in time later on or they're just ignoring T3.

(And okay, yeah, I had to check Wikipedia for the dates. Bad fan. *smacks own hand*)

Think of it as a reaction.

[seferin.livejournal.com]

i.e. Terminator Three happened, and now they are going back to fix it to try to save Mom.

Awww, the future leader of the human race is a Momma's boy.

[wrenlet.livejournal.com]

LAWRENCE FREAKIN' KANSAS. *falls over* Also, EW EW EW on the corpse-headed 'bot. I was expecting... nothing, not DEAD CORPSE EYES there. Ew.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I find it funny for two reasons -- the obvious one, and the "That's where The Day After is set!" one. :)

[squee1123.livejournal.com]

*FLAPS!* DID I MISS ANOTHER EPISODE?!

Kingdom Hearts is really cutting into my TV show time. Siiiigh. I'm sure I can find it somewhere.
