Sarah Connor creator Josh Friedman on why the show won’t be coming back Sci-Fi Wire talked to Josh Friedman about TSCC and where the series is at this point. Here are couple of excepts: In your mind, how does TSCC fit into the Terminator mythology? As an independent piece or part of the bigger whole? Friedman: I think it would’ve been a mistake for me to get caught up in what is canon and what is not canon. I always felt TSCC owed a great debt to T1 and T2, and I was going to do everything I could to honor that. Over time, however, you also find yourself owing a debt to the work you’re doing, the material right in front of your face. So you’ve got to make good with that and still try to maintain an integrity with the work that’s inspired you. TSCC is an expression of the Terminator universe. But it’s four years of creative decisions distilled into 31 hours that will probably not jibe with everyone’s idea of the Terminator puzzle. That’s OK. I go with the “uncanny valley” theory on this, as in most things: The closer you get to making one thing like another thing, the more the ways in which it differs stand out. Do you ever see the story continuing, perhaps in a comic book or another format? Friedman: I don’t own this franchise or control it in any way. I can’t just go make a deal to do a comic book or a DVD movie or anything like that. The people that control the franchise need to be interested in another iteration of not just Terminator, which clearly they are, but TSCC, which at this point they are not. I’ve tried to pull this proverbial band-aid off as quickly as I can, but I don’t want that confused with me giving up on the show. It’s been my entire creative existence for years, and nothing strokes my ego more than hearing about people clamoring for more TSCC and e-mailing network executives to that effect. But I want people to have a realistic understanding of what’s going on. I owe them honesty. Is there anything you’d like to say to the fans? Friedman: I don’t think there’s much I could say to fans that I haven’t already said. TSCC has been my life for almost four years, and the fans have been a huge part of that experience. Nothing exists in a vacuum, and television is nothing if not a social compact—I’ll try to make something worth watching, and you’ll try to watch it. It’s a handshake, and you don’t want to leave the other guy hanging. Hopefully, we’ll try again soon. Click HERE to read the rest.
