Are you guys familiar with The 3 Dots podcasts? They do commentary and news and also discussion podcasts. There was a very cool commentary recently with Ash Miller, about TITD2. I highly recommend it. There's also a new discussion podcast about Some Must Watch, While Some Must Sleep that I joined in on, along with schmacky0, gothamite66, valhallalilly and Willwood. It's about 50 minutes long and I think it's kind of fun (especially when we get into talking about the emergency c-section). But I'll warn you that I talk a lot.

There will be more of these discussion podcasts so if anyone wants to join in, just email schmacky@savethescc.com. All you need to be able to participate is Skype.

And I love all the friends I've made because of it.

No reason.

Okay kiddies, the time has come to vote on the billboard. It's basically a snazzed up version of what I showed you before and since everyone seemed to love it, the only thing we're polling on is the wording at the top and bottom. So take a look at Design #1 and Design #2 and cast your vote:


Since you probably won't keep track of this journal entry, you can keep track of this poll at savethescc.com

Emails, letters, postcards... Have we made an impact? Are we getting through to Warner Brothers? Are they hearing the united voice of the fans crying out for more Sarah Connor Chronicles? Maybe, but we think it's time to up our game. We think its time to show Warner Brothers that we mean business:

 

I know what you're thinking. I may not know how you think, but I know what you're thinking about right now. A mobile billboard?! That's got to be expensive! Indeed it is, but not very expensive at all if everyone chips in. All we need is $3500 and surely there are enough true TSCC fans to make it happen. You think I'm kidding? Nope. You think I'm crazy? Could be. But what better way to tell Warner Brothers we want more TSCC than to send a mobile billboard to their headquarters?

Will you join us? Details and a PayPal Donation widget can be found at SaveTheSCC.com. You can also contribute to this fund from right here, right now. And by the way, that widget will be available in my profile until we reach our goal.

Monday was such a tough day, wasn't it? I never would've thought the cancellation of a TV show could affect me like that. I'm just so glad to have all of you. You helped me through it.

*hugs you all*

So what now? I know Josh Friedman said to move on. I know he said it was going to be Fox renewal or nothing and that leaves us in the "nothing" category. But writer Zack Stenz also threw this at us:

"Warner Brothers still owns the rights to the show and the characters, and the actors, especially Thomas, Brian, and Summer, are passionately in love with their characters and eager to revisit them. So there's every possibility that given the right combination of circumstances, something could happen in the future. A slender reed? Sure. But don't give up hope completely."

I don't know how these things work. I don't know if WB can call the producers back or call the actors back. I don't know if they even would. But I do believe most of the people involved in TSCC weren't just doing a job, they were also fans of the show themselves. I'm not sure what to make of the fact that Lena wasn't mentioned in that quote. Without Sarah, I'm not interested in the show going on. But I'm thinking if everyone else was on board, she would be too. So, we fight on...

You changed the future before, you just didn't change it enough. So you can do it again.

There are a couple avenues. I've heard talk of trying to get WB to produce some DVDs. I've heard talk of trying to get CW to pick up the show. And I've heard talk of Sci-Fi (Syfy). I personally think Syfy is the best fit and our best bet. It's a long shot to be sure, but I think it's a legitimate long shot and so, one worth pursuing. What the hell have we got to lose anyway? The show is already cancelled. If we fail, it's not like it's going to be more cancelled.

A couple things to keeping mind. A pick-up by Syfy would likely mean a smaller budget and shorter seasons. I don't know about you guys, but I'm totally fine with that. I think the cast was too big in season 2 anyway. As long as we've at least got our 4 main characters: Sarah, John, Cameron, Derek, I'm good. Maybe the production values wouldn't be quite as awesome. I'm fine with that too. I watch TSCC because I love the characters and I love the drama. Action and explosions are the icing on the cake and I can certainly live with less if that's what it takes.

Campaigns are being organized, so keep an eye on savethescc.com and The Sarah Connor Society for more info in the coming week. In the meantime, you can contact the SciFi network here:

feedback@scifi.com

Let them know that we are a ready-made and LOYAL audience that will support their network and buy from their sponsors. This is a business and we need them to know we'll make it profitable for them.

I've been optimistic for many weeks that The Sarah Connor Chronicles is going to get renewed, but as we close in on the 18th, I'm so fucking nervous I don't know what to do with myself. I've never been this emotionally invested in a TV show before. I blame Sarah.

Please don't leave me.

You guys all know Schmacky, right? She makes TSCC fan videos like this one and fights the good fight at the wiki. Well, she wants to put together a video of the fans as sort of a "save our show" kind of thing. Honestly, I don't expect anything but the financial viability of the TSCC to determine whether we get a 3rd season, but I think this is a fun idea and it certainly can't hurt.

I'm going to make a video and you should too. ( Everything you need to know >> )

I finished up the last 5 hours of Farscape tonight — the final episode of season 4 and then PeaceKeeper Wars. And now I'm just sad. So sad. Really, really sad. I already miss them: Aeryn, John, Rygel, Chiana, D'Argo, Scorpy. I feel kind of lost without them. I know there are webisodes on the way, but until then... I don't know. Just sad. Maybe I'll start the series all over again tomorrow. And maybe I should make my fandom official and go to this.
