Welcome to the "Dollgrind" on Fox
It's less than two weeks till Fox's Friday sci-fi lineup kicks off with a double feature of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Joss Whedon's highly anticipated Dollhouse. To mark the occasion, Fox has a new trailer for this weekly double feature, a gritty little video inspired by Grindhouse.
The purposefully grainy promo shows Terminator's Cameron (Summer Glau) and Dollhouse's Echo (Eliza Dushku) — Friday night's "Dames of Deception" — kicking ass, shooting guns, and generally wreaking havoc.

TV Tonight: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which returns to start its second season tonight on Fox, is one of the more interesting stories of last TV season. The show premiered during the doldrums of the writers' strike, got a mixed critical reaction, and somehow by the end of the season became a buzzed-about show.

First Look: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
I've never been much of a Terminator person, so I was a little surprised when I first heard about Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the Fox series that picks up the Terminator story at the end of Terminator 2. The show focuses on Sarah Connor — played by Linda Hamilton in the movie and Lena Headey in the TV series — as she tries to keep her son (Thomas Dekker) safe from the ever-shifting army of cyborgs bent on taking his life.
Fox clearly has high hopes for the series, pairing it with 24 in January and promoting it with the Terminator name (it was originally just called The Sarah Connor Chronicles; Terminator was added later).
