Last week on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles during one of the commercial breaks near the end of the episode, the voice over said that there were 2 episodes left to find out what happens. Not 2 more episodes left in the season, but just 2 episodes left.
I got on the computer and found this: Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles CANCELLED 04-10-2009
But then during tonight's episode, the voice over said that next week's episode was the season finale, and did not call it the final episode.
There have been rumors for a while that the show was going to be cancelled at the end of the season, so it's not exactly surprising if it is getting cancelled, but it would be nice to know one way or the other.

Shirley Manson - Samson And Delilah
As I noted in my previous post, last night's season premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles featured an awesome cover of "Samson And Delilah" sung by Shirley Manson.
As far as I know the song is not available commercially anywhere, so I made an mp3 of the song directly from the episode. The mp3 includes some sound effects from the episode, most of which are near the end of the song, so it's not perfect.
While looking for the song last night, I found a lot of posts from people asking when the song was going to be available. It reminds me of the situation with Bear McCreary (who also produced this song) & BT4's version of "All Along The Watchtower" from the Season 3 finale of Battlestar Galactica. The episode aired in March, but the soundtrack wasn't released until October. The wait for the official release was made easier with a ripped from the episode version of the song, which included a fair amount of dialogue. As far as I know these postings of the episode version of the song didn't induce the ire of those who made it, so I've decided to post a download link for the episode version of "Samson And Delilah" by Shirley Manson.
I will remove the link as soon as the song is commercially available, which hopefully is very soon, or as soon as I hear that it's not ok to post it here like this. Anyway, here's the download link:

Tonight's season premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Season 1 of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was a disappointment overall in that while it had some good moments, it never seemed to reach its potential.
Tonight's season 2 premiere continued this pattern.
*Spoilers ahead.*
The first 5 minutes or so of the episode was probably the best action sequence the show's ever done, over which played a beautiful rendition of "Samson & Delilah" sung by Shirley Manson. It's already been over 3 years since Garbage's last album (yikes!), so it was really nice to hear her singing again.
This show is definitely at its best during the action sequences, and I would love it if the producers of the show took a cue from this old xkcd comic and just made every episode one long action sequence.
But only 15 minutes or so of the episode was action, and the rest ranged from OK to ridiculous. In the bathroom scene at the end, at first I thought that the T-1000 had morphed into the urinal to spy on her employees or something (could it still hear in the shape of a urinal?), but watching the scene again I was relieved to see that after it reformed the urinal was still there so it just passed through the wall.
eta: After watching this scene a third time, it looks like the T-1000 was indeed in the bathroom eavesdropping on the two guys, in the form of a thin film spread over the urinal and wall. WTF? Why would a T-1000 spy on a dissenter and then when he calls her a name get angry and kill him? Isn't her mission much more important than her AI team leader, who's presumably one of the best in the world at what he does, not liking a managerial decision she made?
One thing that puzzles me is that last season I thought the Turk was the big computer in that guy's closet. But this season it looks like a small hard drive array with 4 hard drives, presumably meaning the Turk is just software. By far the most ridiculous thing in the episode was when John successefully fixed Cameron's neural net processor using a knife and a rag.
After season 1 ended, I told myself that if the show didn't get better in the first few episodes of season 2 I'd stop watching it. The season 2 premiere didn't really change this, although I did get my hopes up a little bit after the awesome beginning. If every episode has an awesome sequence like that, and/or features a song sung by Shirley Manson, then I'll keep watching for sure, but that seems unlikely. We'll see.
