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).
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.

"Sarah Connor Chronicles" Revises Scenes on Account of Virginia Tech
The new Fox drama based on the Terminator movies will be re-shooting certain scenes that include campus violence out of sensitivity to the tragic April shootings at Virginia Tech. In "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," Connor tries to protect her 15-year-old son (played by Thomas Dekker who played the "totally not-gay" gay friend to Claire on "Heroes") who "may be destined to save mankind from technology gone amok."
The scenes were written and shot before the mass shooting in April, Fox entertainment chairman Peter Liguori told reporters at the TCA press tour.
