"Judgement day for season three has come and gone, and it's clear that despite our best efforts we lost the battle to prevent it's cancellation.

If we want it back on TV we first need to organise ourselves into a cohesive whole, and I mean all the fans, we all have to read from the same script, it's the only way we going to make something happen.

And that means leadership, our equivalent of John Connor, or Sarah Connor if you will.
Someone like LiquidMetal if he's up for it, or Wild-Kat; It doesn't matter who, as long as it's someone we all can agree to follow.
They in turn need to reach out to our sisters and brothers on other fan site's, get them on board, maximise our numbers for the big push, prepare the way for the coming battle.

For this to work we also need to stop the scatter shot approach and pick one target for maximum effect, and that's the hard part, because the people in the know have not been very helpful in regards as to where we should be applying pressure.

Is it Fox?
Is it WB?
Fox cancelled the show but WB clearly, by it's statements, isn't shopping around for a new home.
That where we need the inside guys, industry insiders who worked on the show who know the convoluted workings of just how this show gets on TV.
Our forward observers, target spotters, whatever you want to call them, they need to point out just where to apply that pressure.

Lastly we need Josh on board, if he's not interested in carrying on the fight then all our efforts will be wasted.

So, can we resist against the odds? cause I feel like picking a fight!"
We don`t need Josh. We need the original actors and writers who take care of their work.

Actually, I don't really agree with the poster above, as I don't believe this is possible. Fans are all over the place and such organisation will not happen in my opinion.

However, I do very much agree with the last line. And it is a very good point. If JF is not interested in fighting for this (maybe he is, maybe not) then there is no hope at all.

Does he have a blog or twitter or something where we can find this out? ..... perhaps even encourage him?

here is my email to Warner Bros.

Dear Mr. Rowe, Rosenblum and Roth,

I am more than distressed to hear that FOX has once again canceled my favorite tv show. I want to urge you to produce The Sarah Connor Chronicles for direct sale via the web. I am increasingly watching tv on my laptop via streaming on ITunes and Unbox and via channel web sites.

I find it superior in every way to being dictated to by a tv schedule which has nothing to do with my life.

My brand new Samsung has the capability of hooking to my computer wirelessly and accepting videos via a thumb drive although I have not figured out the mechanism for this yet.

Please foster a system in which intelligent people can pay to view good shows. I would rather pay the producers directly rather than give profits to a channel which has nothing better to do than make profits for garbage. Would I pay for good shows that bypass all this nonsense? You bet. I already have. In fact, I would have been watching Battlestar Galactica all along had I known I could purchase it. I have now purchased the entire series as a download via Unbox. I also have purchased the first season of TSCC and will do so for the second. Please do not let this most excellent show go the way of Firefly, Dark Angel, etc. FOX does not deserve the good programing it gets and then relegates to lousy time slots which change constantly and the arm twisting it does to force shows to fill some strange formula they have in their heads.

Free my teevee. Free John and Sarah Connor!!

"Boycott T4 and let WB know you're boycotting it because you want T:SCC or nowt."
NOT CONSTRUCTIVE! Anyway, I liked the Jericho styled protest that someone mentioned, lets try that!

The Halcyon Company owns the rights to the Terminator franchise.

Everyone go to the local market, ATM or bank, and buy a $10.00 Money Order.

Make it out to "The Halcyon Company":

Enclose a short letter stating that this is for subscription to their new Website, for future Web broadcast of new episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

State that any 'balance due' will be forthcoming upon reciept of invoice, and that an annual subscription is what you want.

Mail it to:

The Halcyon Company
8455 Beverly Boulevard
Penthouse
Los Angeles, CA 90048

This is putting our money where our mouth is.

Is it worth $10.00 to you for a Season 3, 4, 5 and more?

ok it's just an idea, but I was thinking of something that was common and not that expensive/no cost at all.

so I thought barcodes would be a good idea because it plays a part in the show and series multiple times, and there are barcodes on almost everything that you buy in a package, so they are easy to obtain.

I don't know what we could do with the barcodes besides just cutting them out and sending them in mass amounts to WB and or FOX

its just an idea :)

While there is some great ideas being mooted, can I say....

EVERYBODY STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We tried the petition thing, we tried the email thing, we tried the Digg thing, we even ruled the internet with the poll thing, but none of that worked!

We need to figure out something different and get everybody behind it, and that requires LEADERSHIP!

It's no good if every Tom Dick and Harry comes up with an idea, if they're just going to divide us up into smaller and smaller factions, each trying to push their own agenda no matter how good it might be.

We need to get organised, elect a leadership, we need people to put their names forward for consideration and get everyone to vote.
And if you don't like the candidates, well, (in the nicest way possible) SUCK IT UP SOLDIERS!
We don't have time for personalty issues, we all want the same thing in the end.

But the longer we dick around about this, the more likely we won't succeed

We also need support from people on the show; The Jericho campaign worked in part because the fans had the support of the actors, producers and writers of that show.
All we have got so far is, “So long, and thanks for all the fish!”

Even if could get another network like Sci-fy interested, we still don't know if any of the actors or writers are contractually obligated to stay with Fox.

We need a lot more information on what is possible rather than going off half cocked without knowing if it will ultimately work.
That's why we need someone from the show, probably a producer, to help us out in organising just what we need to do to get what we want.

They got contracts to the series, not fox. So:
http://terminatorwiki.fox.com/thread/2848659/Let+all+get+on+Friday+at+8%3A00+PM+on+SCI+FI+Forms+to+support+TCSS
(Everyone to scifi forums at scifi.com on Friday, register now to make sure it works)
* The no fate fan video was more for fans - any network exec would have not gotten the words but only looked if there are pretty women on it and Summer did not take part
* Coming to this site only affected us who already are fans
So going over to visit scifi's forums would make them wonder if they got new viewers by buying the series (and for them it might mean new viewers for other series as well, so it would be a double win for them), the other forum members there (over a hundred thousand there) would also start to think maybe it would be nice to get TSCC to the channel.

Yes, we need leaders and yes we need to focus like a laser, but that will come with time.

In the meanwhile, keep e-mailing all of them, Fox, WB, SciFi, and go to see T4 and tape up papers telling people to join the Resistance with the Wiki address.

Keep fighting while we get our act together. Viva La Resistance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
