You mean TSC5 yeh , I think the 2nd season will be aired next year. I heard the broadband speed in Sg is now the highest in SEAsia, so why don't you download.

I already knew there would be a second season, stay tuned for T4: Salvation movie This storyline should explained areas, leading up towards T3 movie and somewhere in the end gives a small introduction towards T4 movie's storyline. If I am correct, but I am not accurately sure how they are showing it.

Nice check list;

Heroes [for Heroes haters, oh well its back!].
Dexter Season 3-Alright, Dexter become the master.
Terminator Season 2.
The mentalist- What's inside your mind?
Sanctuary-hmm, interesting I wonder what's this about? I love sci-fi.

The tv series is not "canon" anymore because they jump 10 years into the future so the tv series timeline is not the same with the movies timeline. Well this is not confirmed but people already discuss it last year when S1 of TSCC aired last year. If you remember in T3, sarah connor died of cancer but now Sarah Connor already skip the year which she is supposed to be died of cancer. There is also a hint in the tv series that Sarah will avoid the cancer totally.

Yeah, I just remembered the season 1 was covering the details before T3, but they will make few storyline changes to keep things interesting. Glad they continued it

So do everyone else who watched the show, especially the finale.

Can't wait to see Summer Glau in action again.

http://www.terminatorchronicles.com/...episode-guide/ Here is some bit of a sneakpeak for season 2. The Season 1 finale was too quick, it should been 12 episodes, instead of 9 episodes.

Yep.

Too bad about the writer's guild strike. It cut short alot of great serials.

[atlantean0208]

Luckily the SAG (actors/actress union) not proceed with their plan strike this year, or else tv/movies will be affected a lot like last year

[atlantean0208]

Good news, Chuck is extended into a full season (22 eps) instead of just 13. I love lovey-dovey Chuck and his antics, potential girlfriend etc.

My favorite ROM-COM currently on US Tv.

- How I met your mother
- Chuck
- The Big Bang Theory
- Samantha Who

[atlantean0208]

Samurai Girl (ABC Family)

- Crap Show
- The actress look ugly, should get real japanese girl instead of korean-american
- Only for teenager
- Fight crap, don't expect Blade or Star-Wars fight or something (j/k hehehe)
- Save your time, I watch 6 hours of it only in one hours, keep forwarding only for certain scene, just to get the gist of the story.

I think the season finale of Ghost Whisperer is repeated next Friday and I plan to record it to see if I can figure out whose shadow is missing in the final scene.

LOL, I still not watch even one of last season episodes. It's still in my HD. I prefer Medium than Ghost Whisperer. I hear there are more menacing ghosts and long story arcs and not just ghost-with-problem-of-the-week in the later season, correct?

Too many to watch (us tv, asian drama, movies, anime, manga) and too little time and life is short - sigh.

I'm definitely going to give the new KNIGHT RIDER series a try because I'm a fan of the original 1980s series, and I did enjoy the pilot movie that was broadcast earlier this year.

I heard that this new car can "Transform", dunno about becoming a robot, but I think probably transform into another car or a truck or maybe helicopter or something.

EDIT:

Just checking, KITT can transform into a Ford F-150 FX4 Pickup Truck, LOL it's a PICK-UP! - wth!.

http://jalopnik.com/399319/first-vid...4-pickup-truck

LOL to the KITT question to Michael: "Are you homosexsual?" - lol, hope this show is not gay (no pun intended!)

So now we know that Knight Industries biggest investor is really Ford Industries -

In it's Normal mode, KITT looks a lot like a 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR, but if you tick it off (or need extra towing capabilities for a boat or something), then it can transform itself into a 2009 Ford F-150 FX4 pickup

hahahahhhaaa - this is so funny - Hasselholf is rolling on the floor as of now!

[atlantean0208]

Ok, I just finish watching the pilot episode of Privileged. It's about Twenty-three-year-old Megan Smith (Joanna García, Reba) who becomes the live-in tutor for twin teen granddaughters of cosmetics mogul Laurel Limoges (Anne Archer - WOW still look hot!) in the heady Palm Beach world of wealth and power. LOL, Palm Beach, nice BIIIGGG house along the beach, nice cars and lots of billionaires.

One of the twin, Sage (Ashley Newbrough) is evil personified, which will make life miserable for our heroine. Megan got tazzered by Sage on the first day and made Megan fired the next day. Supreme evil biatch.

Will watch it next week if it's getting better. I just love anything about underdog.

They've aired the pilot and first episode of Fringe. Anybody else watch them? I had mixed feelings about this show and will give it 2 more episodes to make my mind up about it.

They've aired the pilot and first episode of Fringe. Anybody else watch them? I had mixed feelings about this show and will give it 2 more episodes to make my mind up about it.

I watch the pilot months ago when it's leaked to the Internet and the next eps last night. This is more of a spin of X-Files but using fringe science (experimental science) as its main theme. So everything is explainable and not supernatural like X-Files.

The series highlight is actually the used of a very advanced gadget and scientific techniques like image extraction from eyeballs of the dead or reading a memory/memory transfer of a person in coma to another.

Where alien invasion conspiracy is the series arc for X-Files, Fringe using The Pattern as its series arc which is all about the misused of Fringe sciences. Although I suspect that Massive Dynamic is the one responsible behind it.

The lady with cyborg hand is super creepy but has big influence in homeland security. I guess this is a company which has the same corporate power like the Stark Industries.

I will watch this until the the season finale or until it got cancelled in 5-6 eps which I think is very unlikely as JJ Abrams (Alias, Felicity and Lost) is the talk of the town in Tv industries.

I actually like how they put the 3D text into various location in the series which is very cool.

It's only just 2 eps of Season 1 shown on HBO, however today the show already renewed for S2

Rogue is now a psychic (mind reader) and in luv with a vampire in this new tv series

HBO RENEWS TRUE BLOOD, NEW SERIES FROM "SIX FEET UNDER"
CREATOR ALAN BALL, FOR SECOND SEASON,
WITH PRODUCTION TO BEGIN EARLY NEXT YEAR

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17, 2008 - HBO has renewed the new drama series TRUE BLOOD for a second season, it was announced today by Michael Lombardo, president, Programming Group and West Coast Operations. Created by Alan Ball, the series will begin production of new episodes early next year in Los Angeles, with debut set for summer 2009.

"We are absolutely thrilled that the critics and our viewers have embraced TRUE BLOOD," noted Lombardo. "Alan Ball has done it again - made an addictive series that is unlike any other."

"I am thrilled to be able to continue to work with such a talented group of writers, cast and crew to explore the characters and world created by Charlaine Harris in her novels," Ball said. "It really is a joy to go to work every day and I couldn't be happier to be back home at HBO."

The Sept. 7 debut episode is proving to be a hit with HBO audiences, attracting more than four million viewers to date, while the debut of the second episode on Sept. 14 posted an unprecedented 24% gain in viewers over the first week's debut.

Critics across the country in Detroit, Baltimore, Denver and Orlando have proclaimed TRUE BLOOD one of the best new shows on TV. USA Today called it "wildly imaginative," with "one of the best ensembles of the new series," while the Washington Post found it "audacious, outrageous and playfully grisly." TV Guide hailed the show as "graphically sexy and scary, and often wildly funny," and "a broadly entertaining, deliciously twisted slice of modern Southern Gothic."

Mixing romance, suspense, mystery and humor, TRUE BLOOD takes place in the not-too-distant future, when vampires have come out of the coffin, thanks to the invention of mass-produced synthetic blood that means they no longer need humans for their fix. Set in a backwoods Louisiana town, the show follows the romance between waitress Sookie Stackhouse (played by Anna Paquin), who can read minds, and 173-year-old vampire Bill Compton (played by Stephen Moyer). Alan Ball (creator of the Emmy(r)-winning HBO series "Six Feet Under") created and executive produced the show, as well as wrote and directed episodes of the series, which is based on the popular Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris.
