Future Leader of Mankind (FLoM). Snack Thief.

INT: AN OFFICE TOWER SOMEWHERE NEAR THE SHORES OF LAKE ONTARIO/YOUR FAITHFUL REPORTER’S CUBICLE - EARLY EVENING..

(Katie sits at her computer and searches for TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES news online)

Hey.

What?! Je-jeeez, John! Aw, you made me spill Cheetos all over the place!

You should try the crunchy ones. They’re awesome.

I’ll keep that in mind. What the he-heck are you doing here, dude?

I’m looking for Cameron.

What’s up, Connor? You keep losing your terminator like she’s a mobile phone or something. Speaking of mobile phones… Did you know they help you fight Skynet?

Really?

Yeah - “As an ardent fan of sci-fi, I can’t quite believe it’s taken me this long to actually see Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, since it is, quite possibly, the finest spin-off from a famous franchise, ever. Oh, and it has mobile phones in it. And the single worst bit of mobile phone selling in recorded history, as well.”

I miss Andy Goode.

Yeah, he was the nicest guy to ever build a computer that blows up the world. Look, about Cameron…

She was here earlier.

Thank God.

Y’know, you might want to consider putting a bell on her or something.

Yeah, whatever. Did you see which way she went?

Uncle to the FLoM. Looks hot in uniform.

No, but she said something about a dangerous development in vacuum cleaner tech.

Damn.

What?

Cameron thinks Skynet’s going to try to kill me with a Roomba.

Well, I guess you wouldn’t see that coming.*

It’s not funny - Mom says if Cameron destroys one more vacuum cleaner store, she’s going to let Derek use her for spare parts.

Oh, c’mon - that’s totally funny. Besides, what would you do with spare terminator parts anyway?

Derek wants to use her CPU to increase the storage on our DVR.

Really? Wait… you have a DVR?

Yeah. We mostly only use it on Mondays, though.

You don’t say…

Yeah, Derek’s a huge Gossip Girl fan. It’s weird.

Derek Reese, weird? I’m shocked.

You should see his toothbrush collection.

Kinda hot in a uniform, though.

I don’t wanna know. Seriously, the crunchy ones are way better.

Get your own snacks, Connor. And when you find Cam, tell her she needs to  pick up her friend.

AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

Hey! No shooting in the office!

Has that always been there?

Yeah. It just stands there, glowing its eyes at me. It’s really starting to creep me out.

I get that.

You okay? You look kind of pale. You want to sit down or something?

I’m fine. What are you still doing here anyway?

I need to update the news on the site before I head out.

Happy Birthday, Ms. Headey!

She looks kinda hot.

DUDE. She totally looks like your mother.

No way, she’s smiling. Mom never smiles.

Oh, that’s… a good point actually. Speaking of your mother… she’s not going to follow you here is she?

I dunno. Maybe. Probably. Yes. Why?

Your mom scares the crap out of me, dude.

My mom scares the crap out of everyone. It’s, like, the thing she’s most proud of.

That’s messed up.

Seriously.

She needs a hobby.

Well, she has this one rifle she really likes to clean…

Hmm, I was thinking more like Derek Reese.

What?!

They’re both young, single, obsessed with firearms - they’d be perfect for each other.

That’s just, just… wrong. SO. WRONG.

Says the guy with a crush on the robot.

God, you’re… I’m out of here.

That’s what you get for eating my Cheetos, Connor - I don’t care if you are the future leader of mankind.

So, now that John’s finally gone…

TSCC News For Friday (Happy Birthday Lena Headey Edition)

The Official Blog wishes Lena Headey a happy birthday (and so can you). All the best in the coming year, Ms. Headey.

The Lena Headey Archives has more pics from The Broken – Dear Universe, I live in Toronto, not Siberia. A CDN distributor for this flick, plz?

ShockTilYouDrop has casting updates for Lena Headey’s film Tell-Tale and Sonya Walger in Factory.

Thomas Dekker was profiled in Variety:

In addition to [TSCC], he has somehow also found the time to record two albums (with another in production), act in horror movie “Laid to Rest” and ensemble drama “My Sister’s Keeper” and write a directorial debut, “Whore” — with another eight screenplays “mapped out completely in my head.”

Thomas Dekker is the US Air Force of artists – he’s more creative by 6 am than I am all day.

ONTD has youtube of Shirley Manson on Carson Daly last night - to hold you over until we get a better version up on the SCS video channel.

Leven Rambin’s video on the Soap Opera Digest website.

Garret Dillahunt’s been added to cast of Burning Bright - still no word on exactly who framed that fearful symmetry.

Sarah Connor works her look - have you noticed how pretty the TSCC cast is? Very pretty.

TWoP is NOT HAPPY at the thought there might be less TSCC in our future.

IGN considers the Terminator’s many looks - I prefer the version with skin.

You absolutely must check out these two clips from “Good Bye To All That”, Monday’s new episode of TSCC – Derek Reese in his uniform is hot like a hot thing… whoo!

Finally, FOX has released the official description and promo pics for “The Tower Is Tall But The Fall Is Short” (click here spoilerhounds!).

Until next time, please be a responsible terminator owner and licence your terminator today!

I heard that!

Cheeto thief.

FADE TO BLACK…

*Thanks to TaraLJC for the Roomba joke.
