Brian Austin Green talks to Comic Book Resources about the fate of Season 3 of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. When asked if he had heard anything about a Season 3 of TSCC, Green had faith that the show would continue.
“I’ve heard a lot of speculation, you know, people saying that it won’t be back but we thought that after our first season. We thought that again after the thirteenth episode of this season going into the back nine. We’ve kind of been the show that’s fought its way through and I don’t think we’re done. I don’t necessarily think that FOX is done with it. They really enjoy the show.”
After hearing from sources inside FOX that the show was “done” and that “everyone has pretty much known,” we aren’t sure what to think. Brian seems pretty sure that there’s a chance the show will make a comeback, and even though the sets have been torn down, it doesn’t seem like they would need them for Season 3.
In the interview, Green also talks about how the show ended and clears up any confusion:
“You have this episode where John Connor travels to a future where John Connor never existed. I don’t know if people completely get it because we work on a string theory, which we’ve dealt with during the season. We dealt with that with Jessie, in the future that she came from there was Charles Fisher, who tortured everyone. In the future I came from, he never existed. I don’t remember him. We were still together within these parallel futures but they were still different and they still had their own paths. This is the same concept. For John Connor to travel to a future where he never existed, where Kyle Reese never left, where Derek and Kyle are still fighting side by side, where Allison (the human Cameron was based on) is still very much present, what becomes of John? What better situation for somebody to grow up in and become the future leader than that? Than to be fighting in what he’s been trying to prevent? Not just being the top dog, being listened to for everything, but having to actually listen and follow.”
This helps explain a lot, especially considering that an alternate reality isn’t what I gathered from the season 2 finale. Yes, they mentioned string theory a few times, but not enough for a general viewer to draw the conclusion they decided on. Now I understand that statement sounds ignorant, but it is in fact, the opposite. To me, it seemed like John had gone into the future, creating a pre-destination paradox in which he had to inform his father to go into the past to have him so that he could lead the resistance. This would make sense because his father had to do the same thing in reverse; He had to travel into the past to have a son that would grow up to lead the resistance.
Anyway, thanks to Brian Austin Green for clearing that whole thing up for us.
