One of those shows I wish had gotten a third season. It was just starting to get interesting when they cancelled it.
 Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles - What He Beheld ending |
 Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles - fight with woman terminator |
I wanted that show to at least go a couple more seasons.

First season was great, second season had an extra character that (to me) dragged the show down. Things were just really getting going good again when it ended.
I think that it was yet another casualty of writer's strike... Didn't the first season have a shorter run then the second came in a little late or something? And this was when networks were realizing how much cheaper crappy "reality" shows were to produce and stick in the scripted timeslots. Eta: I was as interested in the side plot with the liquid terminator if not more so than the main story. |

Never saw it. I imagined it was going to be a never ending series of running away from the latest weekly monster robot from the future mixed in with standing around talking about dumbass inter-character drama, with everything smothered by G rated political correctness..
Was I wrong? |

I think that's her, it has been a while. She wasn't a bad actress as far as I remember, I just didn't like the human drama that the character was intended to produce.

She did have a lot of baggage. |

It was a good show, cancelled right when it needed a third season. Still pissed it was cancelled. https://www.walldevil.com/wallpapers/a89/terminator-the-sarah-connor-chronicles-summer-glau-cameron-philips.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e9/07/90/e9079034bc4dd536b3d0b2133ee72605.jpg

I really liked it.
Lena Headey brought it as Sarah: Ferocious, paranoid, and crazy as a Chernobyl rat. The character of John was developed as he went from sullen "woe is me" teenager to the beginning of war leader. And let's not forget he sent sent Cameron back to himself. A less capable, overtly sexual, deliberately untrustworthy message to his 15 years old self. Skynet became an actual character-possessed by oblique intentions and strategies and outlined by those who served it-and the creepy, creepy scenes from the future. |

It was definitely a great show but, as with all SciFi on Fox, they kill it prematurely. 
I rewatch it every now and then. May have to put it on after I finish The Defenders.  Then i plot murder for Fox execs. |

Terra Nova ended quickly also. And APB and Minority Report both of which, while they weren't smash hits, I found pretty entertaining. So in closing, fuck Fox execs! 
(An honorable mention in premature cancellation on Fox also goes to the non-SciFi Enlisted. That show was hilarious!  )

I watched that when it was one of the first shows to go on the XBox 360. So, I've seen the first half of the first season, for sure, maybe the whole first season.
I'm a huge Shirley fan (met her in '95), but I haven't seen her episodes. I'm not sure why, like I'm afraid or something. Part of it was that the show got cancelled, so I didn't want to get attached to it, ya know? I should stream the show. Wife might like it as well. |

Lena Headly? I don't remember any ugly females on the show. What character did she play?
