Fox To Decide Sarah Connor’s Fate In May from scifiscoop.com

Things weren’t looking so hot for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles until an unexpected ratings spike last week gave it some extra legs.

One of the gripes viewers have complained about is that the series hasn’t contained enough Terminator action for a series about Terminators. It should make fans happy to know that the final episodes of this season apparently have more Terminator action. Will it be enough to bring viewers on board and save the series?

We’re going to have to wait around two months for an answer to that question, for word is Fox will lay down their verdict in May.

Fox’s delay in green lighting season three comes down to the fact that the series is presently resting on the borderline. As it stands, it could go either way and so a decision is going to be held off until Fox can assess what happens with the rest of the season. The future of the show has more or less come down to how well the next four episodes rate.

If ever there was a time to tune in – it’s now.

FOX, FOX, FOX.

Interesting article about how FOX treats its scifi shows, both now and over the years, specifically referencing the current treatment of both Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Dollhouse.

What has FOX got against sci-fi?
