HOLY SHIT. TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES IS THE BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION.

For those of you who follow the show (and haven't seen this episode), don't read any further.

THE CONCLUSION OF THE SEASON FINALE CHANGES EVERYTHING.

After finally catching up on the four or five episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles that I missed¹, I snuck² a few peeks at the previews of the next episode "To the Lighthouse," which will be aired on Friday, March 27. Unfortunately, since I'll be attending a college open house in Rochester, New York, it is probable that I will not have access to a TV at that time. In all, I'm looking forward to the road trip… but I'm looking forward even more to Friday's explosive Terminator action.

A few YouTube videos are in order.

For those of you who don't know, the man playing with the Legos is a cyborg. I believe his "brain" and power supply are hosted externally.

And to point out to my nonviewers again, the young, petite brunette who says "You can't kill me" is a Terminator.

Lastly, this preview is a summary of the final six episodes of the season, which includes footage has not yet been aired. There seems to be a climactic Terminator showdown involving a few major characters. If you'd like to avoid spoilers, I suggest you avert your eyes.

On an unrelated note, I'd like to point out the recent updates to my compendium of budget Web hosting providers. One of the newest additions is a unique host that offers "pay as you go" pricing.

And there you are. I'll see you later.

1.The time slot change to Friday is rather inconvenient for me, as I tend to pass out right as I return home from school — a fact I mainly attribute to the emotional/spiritual exhaustion of having endured another week of forced social integration.
2. Firefox's spell checker doesn't seem to think "snuck" is a word — but Conan O'Brien does! He even looked it up (the "gaffe" occurs 0:54 into the clip).

HOLY FUCK I DID NOT REALIZE THAT TERMINATOR WAS ON TODAY. HOLY FUCK I ALSO DEFINITELY DID NOT REALIZE THAT TERMINATOR WAS ON LAST WEEK. 'Cause all of a sudden I look at the clock (8:37 pm) and I start screaming. And then my dad walks by and says, "Hey, I watched that show last Friday while you were sleeping. It was pretty interesting." And then I start screaming anew.

Fuck, fuck, fuck. Now my integrity is ruined.

My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever…"

This operatic chorus (featuring none other than the London Philharmonic Orchestra) is one of the most awesome hooks I've ever heard. Check it out.

Since I had a nice long nap today, I'm determined to spend the entire night (and early morning) catching up on my favorite shows on Hulu. And since I know you're just bursting with curiosity, the shows in question include (in approximate ranking of brilliance/preference):

1. House
2. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
3. Legend of the Seeker — based on a series of fantasy novels called The Sword of Truth
4. And to a lesser extent, Fringe, which has gotten ruddy spectacular all of a sudden

In short, Alec Baldwin can be very persuasive.

On the other hand, I need to go wash my hair.

Edit: Dreamhost's $0.77/month hosting sale is still on, for those of you still interested.

Just tell me she's irresistible. Isn't she irresistible?

The second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles continues on Friday, February 13 at 8:00 pm on Fox. Don't miss it!
