    Moving it to Friday night and those weird episodes halfway through the season are what killed it.

    There are still many questions left open. It seems as if they left the door open for a season 3, but the last couple of minutes dramatically shapes the focal point of a season 3.

    Anyways, im convinced the conficker worm is actually skynet.

    Pretty sure they've stated that Salvation and the series are independant of each other

    I hated the ending. The worst part is there is no 3rd season to explain the cliffhanger. Ok, so John Henry is in the future, but we don't know where.

    The liquid metal terminator wants to join John, but she kill humans just as easily as the other terminators.

    Did they have jumped to an alternate future, because the timeline changed when John disappears from his original time line?

    Or did they jump to the same future, but a few years learier, before the human Cameron got captured by the terminators and his father dies, but also before future John Connor becomes the leader of the resistance?


    I got absolutely no closure in the ending. :mad:

    season 1 started at 18 million viewers and ended with 8.3 million.

    season 2 started with about 6.3 milion and ended halfway through with 5.3 million.

    Then they moved it to friday and started with 3.7, dropped as low as 2.96 and ended with 3.60.

    I agree it wasn't the friday slot that killed it. It went down here from the 2nd season. The bad writing made it boring in the 1st half of the 2nd season. It's like how Heroes started really great the 1st , then went really bad quick in the 2nd and 3rd season, then it got good again.

    that's too bad... the show just got interesting in the last two episodes.... it's too bad they didn't think of this cyborg civil war earlier... i guarantee this twist would have saved the show if introduced in the first season... :(

    That imagery with the knife was downright Shakespearean.

    Good call.

    That ending was fantastic. He is transported to a future world by an indifferent being; he finds himself surrounded by long-lost friends and family, only he was never there to lead the resistance to human victory. Based on the surroundings, the world has still been nuked, and the human race remains thoroughly f'ed. But at least he gets to have a hottie girlfriend / play a game of catch with his pa before they go.

    It was the ending to Field of Dreams, but with mushroom clouds and liquid Garbage cyborgs. Wicked.

    This was one of the best endings to a show, I have ever seen. It made me really mad that there may not be another season, and happy at the same time that if there is another season it will be awesome. If fox fails to pick up on the buzz for another season, then hopefully a studio would pick it up and at least give us a DVD with a true finale. I'm tired of quality shows getting the ax after a couple of seasons, while crap shows are given more time, but that's FOX for you.

    Everyone needs to go buy the dvd's... what they didn't make in advertising they can make in dvd sales.

    I really really loved the finale. I swear all my shows keep getting cancelled. I should know better than to get invested in a *** show.

    I enjoyed the finale as well. Though with so many questions created by the finale I'll be extremely disappointed if Fox doesn't do at least one more season.

    T:TSCC may have not been good at first, it did really hit a stride the second season. Many people thought there were too many characters and sub plots, but as the season went on, every character showed what they added to the show, and one by one they were killed. Each death advanced the plot or John's development in a different way, showing some of the shaping factors of the personality that would someday be the leader of the resistance.
