You may remember how pumped The Blot was for the debut of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 1 last January. While the show started slow, it really picked up steam and became a really entertaining show once Brian Austin Green joined the cast as John Connor’s uncle from the future, Derek Reese. While many were surprised by the dark turn of the artist formerly known as Beverly Hills, 90210’s David Silver, Green really was excellent in the role and I’m looking forward to see how the show utilizes the former 90’s heartthrob now that he is a permanent member of the cast.
Fans of the FOX sci-fi drama will be interested in this interview with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ star Thomas Dekker (who plays John Connor). In it, Dekker responds to the announcement at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con “that a major character on his show would die the upcoming season.” (link) Dekker thought it was a joke at first, but promises fans will be “shocked at what this specific death signifies in the scope of the Terminator.” (link) Color me intrigued!
While I can’t imagine T:TSCC would actually kill off one of its three main characters, I am very interested in seeing how this storyline ultimately plays out. Executive Producer John Wirth did a great job hyping his show’s return with this little nugget of information, and I just hope the show can deliver on their promise with a significant death. Too often these types of teases, one way or the other, end in disappointment for the fans.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ second season debuts tonight, Monday, September 8, on FOX at 8/7C.
