Okay, I think I’m sold on The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The follow-up maintained the punch of the pilot and then some. And the pilot had the largest debut of any scripted show this season, and last night’s episode held a fairly respectable 10.07 million viewers. The only thing I stand in opposition to is the freakin’ name…The Sarah Connor Chronicles is probably the hardest phrase in the world to say…you can almost hear the announcer…the professional announcer…pause and think “Okay, here we go” before he says it. It doesn’t exactly flow off the tongue.

Anyway, one of the greatest character actors out there is Garret Dillahunt. You’d recognize him from his parts on Deadwood, John From Cincinnati, Damages, ER, The 4400, The Book of Daniel, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and No Country for Old Men…to name a few. The dude just oozes coolness…and he’s coming to T:TSCC.

He told Kristin from eOnline, “Owain Yeoman and I are both Cromartie, which is all the same robot underneath—he just needs a new flesh suit. I show up in episode three, and I’ll be following them around for a while. When we got to where we stopped because of the strike…I actually haven’t even met them yet, but I do interact with a lot of people who get in my way, and the FBI guy Richard T. Jones is on my tail.”

This brings up an interesting aspect to the show…guest star Terminators! If there is a steady stream of robot killing machines coming back from the future to off John Connor, that presents the opportunity for unlimited “skin suits” that they can take over.

I say that’s flippin’ awesome.
