So it looks like Fox is trying to kill The Sarah Connor Chronicles

After a long mid-season hiatus, the show returns in the Friday 8:00 pm slot, which is just about the same as burying it in an unmarked pine box.

Not only that, but I hadn't heard a word about it until I stumbled upon a blurb on Hulu about next week's episode. I don't watch Fox all that much, but I watch it enough to catch a preview, if they'd aired one. Heck, I knew all about that Dollhouse show weeks before it premiered. You'd think that they might also have mentioned that TSCC was returning...

2. It's hard to believe that Fox would undermine a science fiction program...

Heck, before 24 came back this season, they were practically running a countdown so that even the most uninterested viewer would know exactly when it would return.

3. Killing sci fi shows is second nature to FOX.

Ask Joss Whedon.

6. What?

The only network show I watch when it is on? Trying to kill it? No, can't imagine that. (Do I really need sarcasm here?)

I'm pretty sure if I like a show it is automatically the kiss of death. Although T:SCC has lasted longer than most. Well, except I was pleasantly surprised Jericho came back for a mini season, but again it did't last long.

Please for my viewing sake, ask people to watch this show, it really is a good show, and I think this half of the season will be better than the last, which was just kind of average in my book. Plus there is plenty of eye candy in the show for those that like looking at the ladies.

8. Not with Terminator 4 coming out in a few months.

I think they're trying to get the SCI-FI Battlestar crowd by moving to Friday night.

9. Okay, I watched the first post-break episode last night: The Good Wound

I'd have to say that the guy they picked to play Kyle Reece is about the worst casting I've seen in years. Overall the episode was pretty cool, and I can even handle the trite device of the semi-imagined guide-from-beyond-the-grave, but they really should have gone with another actor.
