Subject: The reason why, if you pick up Terminator:SCC, you'll get more than just a show with a loud name.

Hello SyFy!

I'm writing to you to add my voice to all viewers, asking to pick up "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles". Not saying about popularity of the show, about the huge world-wide base of devoted fans and money making potential. I'd like to draw your attention to fact, that if you buy the rights to produce this show, you won't only buy some random show with well-known name. The level of quality of "T:SCC" allows to consider it as a full-fledged representative of the "Terminator" franchise. Not to sound unsubstantiated, I want to give some examples of contributions, which "T:SCC" made into the Universe of Terminator. I believe, their quantity and quality aren't less than any "Terminator" movie.

- First of all, it's, the Summer Glau's character Cameron, the first terminator whose development came so far, that it had allowed her to achieve emotions, feelings and free will to choose missions. Also, Cameron had become so popular among viewers, that, I think, she could be already considered as the best replacement for Arnold's Uncle Bob.

- The second very important addition is presentation of the third side in humans-against-machines war. It's very realistic, taking into account the cyborgs' artificial intelligence complexity, that some of them may not want to eliminate humankind without really significant reason.

- In movies we never saw the way, how the artificial intelligence (AI) was imlemented from the scratch. In the show there was the birth and growth of John Henry, AI, created without using technologies from the future. I find this idea very intriguing.

- Thanks to the show, we learned, that time-travels are possible in the back direction also, from the past to the future.

- The new cyborg model T-888, and the character Cromartie, who is presented as a next generation of Bad Terminator. He is more intelligent, more strategically and tactically advanced compared to the old models. He can let person to live and even protect, if he consider one to be more useful alive.

- The new character Derek Reese, the brother of Kyle Reese. What I was always wondering, is how John Connor can become a leader of humankind, if he was brought up by his mother and never really looked like a tough guy. Neither in "T2" nor in "T3" movies. Thanks to "T:SCC", I now have an answer: Derek Reese is the one, who can replace a father to John Connor and help him to develop the qualities of leadership.

- Have you ever seen, what terminators do at night, when all people sleep? Or how terminator can determine the mission to itself, do appropriate investigations and, relying on it's results, complete the task? This is what movies will never show to the viewers who are wondering.

- The terminators' chips self-destruction. Just a brilliant idea in the show! In terms of reality, this is the first action SkyNet should undertake, after humans started to re-program cyborgs. Looking from this point, the "T:SCC" is closer to reality than movies.

- "T:SCC" gave us a coltan, the super hard material terminators are made of. A good explanation, why cyborgs are so invulnerable.

- Terminator standby mode. I was really interested, what terminators do, when they have their mission complete and weren't destroyed along the way. The show answers this questions, and the answer is pretty cool.

- What I really like in the show, is terminators having their own names, and not just model numbers. We now have Cameron Philips, Cromartie, Vick, Carter, Catherine Weaver.... It's really what gives more depth to a story being told.

- Terminators in the show are more intelligent and sociable, compared to those in the movies. So now we got at least three new cool catch phrases in addition to the ones well-known already. "Thank you for explaining", "It's tight" and "I don't sleep" had become the trade marks of Cameron and Cromartie.

- The usual life of Connors family. This is what you won't ever see in the movies because of lack of screen time. In "T:SCC" we saw, for example, ways of using terminators for purposes they weren't build for. Cameron as a washing machine with artificial intelligence, or use of terminator to replace car wheel without a wrench

All the features I listed are fully deserve to be included to the Universe of Terminator. And they put the show "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" into the one row with such a classical movies as "Terminator" and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day". Also they give writers an infinite number of possibilities to create the new interesting stories inside the Universe.

This show must live and get the next season. Please, SyFy, if there is even a little chance, don't let it go.
