She divides her time between writing technical documentation (techy, tech, tech requirements docs), analytical essays on television shows that hold her brain for ransom, and the occasional bout of fiction (like plague, only with characters). She enjoys Pinot Noir, but not during robot apocalypses, and feels all movies could be made better if they had a Sleestack in the background. By Crystal Carroll

On a Fanish Date Coincidence
Less than a week after discussing hiring for Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles (T:tSCC), Fox confirmed to hollywoodreporter.com that not only will they be renewing T:tSCC, it'll be back in the fall.
On 4/21, Fox made an official 13-episode order. However, according to Fox Entertainment President, Kevin Reilly, T:tSCC will probably be moved off of Mondays at 9, which thankfully will take it out of sci-fi genre watching competition with "Heroes."
If the show does well, Reilly suggested that T:tSCC would be in the fast lane to get an early order for an additional nine episodes. This makes a certain amount of sense as Terminator 4 will be released in May of 2009 and having a t.v. show about the same franchise would be advertising bliss.
The date chosen to make the announcement does make me wonder if there's a fan lurking somewhere in the Fox Marketing department, since as the obsessively note taking fan may have noticed, Cameron told us in the pilot that Skynet will fire up on 4/19 in 2011 and then take its leisurely time to destroy the world on 4/21. Now that we know we'll get a second season, we'll have to wait and see if renewing the show on 4/21/08 will cause or prevent the world's destruction in a fourth season.
Sarah Connor had been considered a strong contender for renewal. After an initial ratings free fall from the pilot episode, which ran after football, T:tSCC consistently was in the top 5 for the 18-49 demographic, within the top ten shows for Fox, and consistently appeared in the top ten DVR shows. Now if Warner Brothers will release a DVD, fans can get to the serious business of lending it out in the campaign for S3.
It’s the fandom way for dealing with the apocalypse.
