I thought the new owners of the Terminator franchise said that they will not be paying much attention to T3 in terms of the overall story. I think they basically said to ignore T3.

As for the next movie (coming in 2009), it started filming last week!

Let us hope that a different John and Sarah are cast as actors. Brian Austin Green was a pleasant surprise, the thing is he makes those playing Sarah, John and Cameron look like they are of the caliber of actors in an average high school play.

I really hope Cameron is "destroyed". I doubt it but I can hope. Talk about horrible casting.

EDIT:
I thought the "finale" sucked. I guess with the writers strike they couldn't o much else though. I'm mostly pissed that they advertised it as a finally that would conclude things. In the two hour time span, Ie expected the following:

SPOILERS: ---SPOILERS: ---SPOILERS: ---
1) resolution of the turk story line.
2) Cromarte's end.

To whom posted the youtube link to Johnny Cash, thanks. It was nice listening to while writing this post.

I can only guess that he is important in the future.

Cromartie is looking for John Connor, so is Ellison.

actually, the terminator that killed him in T3 (future John) was Ah-nold (the T3 model sent back to protect him). This is what Ah-nold says.

After completing his assassination mission (his model was chosen b/c of Conner's known attachment to that model through the events in T3), Conner's wife (Claire Danes) reprogrammed him and sent him back as protector.

great final episode all around. The Johnny Cash/bodies piling up in the pool sequence was a thing of beauty. This type of creative film-making has sadly been lost in recent TV and major productions.

Taking John back to see 5 year-old Kyle on his B-day was another top-notch story element. I'm liking this series more and more.

It also helps that Sarah Conner seems to get hotter and hotter each episode....but I don't like the actress's portrayal of her....a little too empty.

He also knows that Ellison is an open opportunity to track down the Conners.

Complete agree with first two points. The music and the pool was amazingly well done. Having John and Derek see Kyle was also great. The series is definately getting better, hope they renew it.

Sarah is ok... I just wish they casted an American or Australian. She does a pretty good American accent, but is obvously trying so hard to maintain it that she can't show any range in her voice. It's pretty monotonic. Aussies Kidman, Otto, Watts and dude from Nip/Tuck do really good accents. Or maybe it's cause Sarah from the movies was so good and had so many mood swings it brought a lot more depth to the character.

Oh, I totally forgot. Cromartie knows that Ellison has Sarah Connors "case file" so he probably wants to acquire it later.

Now that Cromartie's cover is blown I wonder if he'll get a new face.

Hot damn. The finale(s) were much more interesting than every other ep combined. Still don't believe any of the characters, but at least the writers showed some gusto.

Cameron would survive a simple carbomb, but probably needs new skin!

Very creepy coincidence... or is it?!? There was an ad during this last episode for the local news, highlighting our transit system's new system-wide electronic video monitoring setup.

Skynet starts in Toronto

"The TTC now has cameras operating in all stations and 300 buses. By 2011, there will be more than 11,000 blanketing the system." :shocked:

Pretty good episodes. Not quite season finale stuff, but if the writer crap affected it I can see why. Only thing I didn't like was the 2 gaps when Cam killed the guy at the museum and when the latino chick showed up (same when she takes the gun after they kill the guy in the alley).

Don't worry, it's the TTC, they'll run out of money on camera number 10 and scale it back.

I think it was in the pilot. He's a substitute teacher and says his name is Cromartie.

You have to ignore T3 when watching the TV Show. It is being written as if T3 never happened.

That season fanale was a damn good (2) episodes... I just finished watching it on DVR, but that was some of the best TV I have seen in years... as others said, loved the Johnny Cash part, and the nice twists and turns kicked ass!

Good action with a crazy ending :p can't wait for next season, I will personally go Terminator on Fox if those assholes cancel it like every other great show they canceled.

Fox is still mum on the future of Terminator. That's not a good thing.
