brvheart 1,752 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 the show has really started to hit its stride with the current theme (played out in both time periods....present and future) of "Is John Connor wrong to trust machines?"they are already canceling Life on Mars. I hope they dont cancel this too. If they take out this and Life I may have to start holding tv execs hostage.We need a network where good but ratings-flawed shows can go after the major networks lose interest. I think the whole issue is obviously profit margin. A channel with even lower ratings and/or viewership PLUS very expensive productions (like TSCC) = bankruptcy. I know you were saying, "in a perfect world", cane, so I'm saying this for the people that didn't know why this hasn't happened. Link to post Share on other sites
Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I really hope this isn't cancelled, it's my favorite show on tv right now, by far.And I'm very in love with Sarah Connor. Link to post Share on other sites
Fluffdog87 2 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Just caught up - the last three episodes have easily been the best of the entire series. It would be a shame if they cancelled it because it seems like they are just getting to the stuff they have been building to for so long. Great last couple episodes! Link to post Share on other sites

Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I think I'm done watching tv shows. I only really watch a couple as it is, but once those are over, that's it. To watch for a season or two and then abruptly end is a waste. Take that networks, live without my viewership. FOREVER Link to post Share on other sites

FOREVERThere are enough quality shows out there that get to end on their terms instead of the networks. Every show should be like Lost - it has a timeline, a story to tell. When it is over the show will be over. Shows like this are great. The Wire, The Shield, The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Lost are worth the commitment. Rescue Me is still on the air, although that is more character driven than plot driven. Weeds, Brotherhood, Californication are all good shows. I guess the point is - get HBO & Showtime.

Jadaki 0 Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 I guess the point is - get HBO & Showtime.Normally I would agree, but HBO has been known to cut short a series or two in its time.Rome was shortened down to two seasons and ended up with a rushed finale and a few horrible second season episodes because the pacing was not right.Deadwood was supposed to be a 4-5 season run, got cut off at 3, movies were mentioned but they are not going to happen.Carnivale was just stopped after a second season with major cliffhangers left unanswered.Still, I'd take HBO's bad with the good because the good is so much better than everyone elses great.

I think I read somewhere that Carnivale told the story it wanted to tell and finished on its term. Rome was rushed, but the second season was way better than first. Other than completely ****ing us with Deadwood, I think HBO has a much better track record than network.And FWIW, I loved that they only did one season of John From Cincinnati.

jkalib 0 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I had a great idea. When people sent in peanuts they were able to get an extra season of Jericho. We should send the executives at Fox dead pigeons to try to get one more season of this show. Link to post Share on other sites

Fuck that dipshit who wrote the show and thought it would be better than Deadwood Link to post Share on other sites
gobears 0 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 All the guys dropping like flies - would have thought that they would have given BAG a better sendoff - have him go out guns blazing instead of being surprised by a head shot. I will be truly saddened when they cancel this show as I would have liked to see where they were going to go with some of their plot lines. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 1) What a sad way to end the series.2) I'm kinda glad deadwood ended. I thought season 3 was quite inferior to the first 2 seasons, and I would be afraid the product would really start to slip,. That said, Still probably would have loved it. I mean, I watch Kings just for a hint of Al, FFS.3) It's a miracle that the wire didn't get cut off after 1 or 2 seasons. From what I understand, it got really bad ratings. It must have done really well in DVD sales or something, or maybe someone at HBO has a soul. Link to post Share on other sites

Jadaki 0 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Its going to be cancelledRead a report that the decision hasn't been made yet and apparently Fox likes the concepts of what season 3 would be about. From an interview with Brian Austin Green about season 3. (skip if you don't want possible spoilers)!!!The third season is going to be incredible, if it happens. There were no intentions of this being a series finale. It was absolutely a season finale. There's a plan where this can go and it's so good....You have this episode where John Connor travels to a future where John Connor never existed. I don't know if people completely get it because we work on a string theory, which we've dealt with during the season. We dealt with that with Jessie, in the future that she came from there was Charles Fisher, who tortured everyone. In the future I came from, he never existed. I don't remember him. We were still together within these parallel futures but they were still different and they still had their own paths. This is the same concept. For John Connor to travel to a future where he never existed, where Kyle Reese never left, where Derek and Kyle are still fighting side by side, where Allison (the human Cameron was based on) is still very much present, what becomes of John? What better situation for somebody to grow up in and become the future leader than that? Than to be fighting in what he's been trying to prevent? Not just being the top dog, being listened to for everything, but having to actually listen and follow. Link to post Share on other sites

You might have to dig a bit for it since it was like a week or two old. The interview with Green was from the CBR website. Link to post Share on other sites
