Which is pretty ironic, when you think about "Terminator", but yes, I agree. People don't want to have to engage their imaginations. Somewhere after college they got told that having imaginations and being fanciful is for little girls and little boys. Fuck that.
Oh and this is what I wrote over on the official blog, in case you wanted to see -

I’ve been thinking about this for going on 24 hours now since I first heard. It’s tragic, it’s sad, and the worst part is it’s expected.
Guys - do not blame Josh for giving up, or anyone on the staff. The Terminator franchise (or at least this branch of it) is owned by the WB. I’m no expert, but from what I’ve read, the WB has to be the ones to shop the show around on other networks, the WB has to be the one that believes in the property, and the WB has to tell Josh to start writing again if they want him to do it. You can write SciFi or sign petitions, but ultimately, the WB would have to be told that this franchise is viable for sales, and the numbers they were getting aren’t very convincing for TV - though direct to DVD might work, and if the WB is open to that alternative, we should definitely bandwagon it.
If anyone from TSCC wants us to write the WB - now’s the time to post and give us someone to contact. Anyone at all.
In the meantime, I’d really like to thank Hadley for such an amazing job at this blog, and thank everyone from Josh down to the key grips for their hard work. This show was a labor of love, and you felt it in every episode. You made us think, you made us laugh, you made us cry, and for that above all else, myself and all my friends will very much miss your show. I hope we do get to ‘do this again’.
"Thank you Josh and everyone for bringing us this amazing show for as long as you did. I am sad and I am angry and i can’t help that because TSCC touched me on a level that no other show ever has or probably ever could again. But the fact that it did that — that TSCC reached in and grabbed me — is what made it so special. It was an incredible experience and I thank you again for that."
Agreed! Mom is telling me to DVR American Idol on Tuesday since she's out of town and I really don't want to on reasons of principle - I'll just tell her that's what You Tube is for. ;D
I actually watched American Idol since the beginning until this season. I started losing interest 2 seasons ago and watched less and less of it. This season, none at all. I liked Survivor for many years too and gave that up 2 or 3 seasons ago. So I can understand the lure of some reality shows. But what I don't get is how people can sit through so many of them. dancing, cooking, losing weight, dating. It's too freaking much and it sucks away the space for scripted drama, like the incredibly awesome much too short forever dear to me Sarah Connor Chronicles.
