Come with me if you want a second season of "Sarah Connor Chronicles"So, I guess we'll find out if Cameron makes it out of that Jeep after all. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been renewed for a second season. A whole new season of Lena Headey and Summer Glau running around in tank tops with shotguns while saving the world? Hell and yeah.
The show's strike-abridged nine-episode first season ended on a big bang of a cliffhanger (which, if you haven't seen yet you should stop reading now, but — gosh, that was like a month and a half ago so what's the hold up?). Cameron went kerplewie after starting the family Jeep while on a cake run for John's birthday. The car bomb was planted by internet café owner/sneaky owner of The Turk Sarkissian. So, looks like she is going to need that recipe for fake Terminator skin that Cromartie cooked up earlier this season.
The series has earned a 13-episode pickup. The extended season is good news and means they can flesh out (puns!) the show's deeper themes about identity, duty, technology and the very nature of the human soul. And, given its prevalence, Lena's scowl might as well have its own subplot.
Among the show's pleasant surprises has been the resurfacing of Brian Austin Green. The former 90210er has redeemed his acting chops as the intense Derek Reese, John's future uncle. Looks like he won't be going on Dancing With the Stars anytime soon.
Sure, the series had its flaws and unanswered questions. (What happened with Sarah's cancer? Will anyone believe Agent Ellison's story? Why does Derek distrust Cameron so much? Should we distrust Cameron? Is Cameron going to make it to prom? Will John be able to see through his bangs?) But with more time, I think they can build on the show's real strength. Sure, the super-human robots are cool, but it's the quieter philosophical questions about a mother's instinct to protect her child, a soldier's duty to a mission and mankind's ability to destroy itself that make the series more than just another sci-fi smash 'em up. Well, that and the tank tops.

Yay! so excited to hear
Whoot
Love the interplay between the women
This is excellent news for Lena Headey and Terminator fans. I love the interplay between Sarah (Lena) and Cameron (Summer). Sarah calling Cameron "Tin Man" or saying, "do your thing, Girlie" or Sarah bluffing the cop outside Carlos's hangout by treating Cameron as her stepdaughter. And speaking of Carlos's hangout, I also love that mostly silent woman who did Cameron's hair.
Hoping a move to a different timeslot will give it a lift.
yayyyy
awesome. great to hear this show got finally picked up for a 2nd season. Lena Headey alone is enough reason to watch this, but the show is actually not half bad ;)

YAYYYY LENAAA
where?!
where the hell did you get the poster?! i've never seen any...
i'm really excited about this (the show, not the poster, hehe!) i threw my fist up in the air. which i really shouldn't do at work, cos i can see the woman in the department next to me giving me strange looks every now and again. (open plan office's are seriously not a great thing.)
the only thing is, how long do we have to wait to see it?! it's not that long since it finished, so it's going to be one looonnnng wait.
when it finished with that cliff hanger and there was all that talk of it not being renewed, i vented to my sister, saying they couldn't leave us NOT knowing what happens to cameron! although i did say that she'll get out, but have next to no skin, which tbh, i think would be really cool to see. i love the special effects of terminator, this series and also the films.
so yeah, i'm kinda looking forward to that, just hope they actually pick up right where they left off, and not ages down the line when she's all fixed!
so this time next year, we'll be hoping for, or celebrating, a third season, yay! =D
I liked her...didn't like
I liked her...didn't like the show at times...started feeling so male oriented and flat towards the last episodes...but i will keep watching because of her...

Awesome
Loveed the show so much!!!!
But you know what is great about this news?????
Jen and Dee and some more chances to see them on the "Come With Me If You Want To Live" Vlogs!!!!!!
So happy this show is returning
Fox shows
I think New Amsterdam is much better than TSCC.
Lena, Summer, Jenn, Dee and a writers strike was enough to get me to watch the previous episodes but with other shows on i don't think i'll watch.
So glad to see that it has a
T:SCC RENEWED!!!!
I've haven't stopped squeeing since I found out!
Since Thomas Dekker shaved his head for a movie between seasons, probably.
"Bad jokes are us, ur me."
Glad it was picked up for a 2nd Season....
I remember watching Summer Glau in "Firefly" & "Serenity", she was great in those shows. Glad to see her back in "SCC" in more episodes.
Thank freakin goodness!
Very happy, here! :D Can't complain about seeing Lena (*sigh*) and Summer kick ass every week.
I enjoyed the very short first season so I'm really excited to see where they go with this. I hope Derek sticks around, I thought Brian Austin Green was a welcome addition, who knew.

Excitement and relief
I saw the announcement earlier today on E!online and proceeded to shout my enthusiasm to half the office. Everybody looked at me with blank stares. They have no taste.
I am very excited they are continuing with it. It has so much potential. Summer was great in Firefly. Kind of a similar character to what she is playing now. If you haven't watched Firefly you must see it. It was a really good show. Joss Whedon wrote it so of course it was good. You can get the DVD for around $20.
Now the tough part, waiting for the season premiere.
potentially more Come With
potentially more Come With Me vlogs ... fabulous! they also better not forget to bring back the silent and strong chica. I'm yet to hear her say something.

I'm queer and African ... deal with it
yeeha
Great news! Gotta love Summer Glau!
From memory they did explain Sarah's cancer. I think Cameron let her know about it soon after their jump to the future in the pilot. Later in the episode she was seen getting a clean bill of health from a GP, but making another appointment for a few months later...
Lena
More Lena and Summer in Tank Tops?
Hell yeah!
thank goodness!
They'll be back...
YEA
This show is a camp but; Lena Headly is GREAT in this role. I love the femme butch "thing", and boy does she have it down pat. Wish they would put just a little bi theme in there since the LWORD is going away - geeze give us something!!
They could do it like XENA - maybe, maybe, maybe oh we won't tell. Come on this lady just can't be that hot and strong and not want to cuddle with a girl once in awhile.
