Ladies, gentlemen, and lady and gentlemen cyborgs, your first look at next Monday’s new episode, Brothers of Nablus. 8PM/7PMc only on FOX.

Another quick preview of next week’s all-new episode, Brothers of Nablus. You better be tuning in!

Our genius composer, Bear McCreary has put together a soundtrack — the first volume – exclusively for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles fans!

Out on La-La Land Records, it’s available now for pre-order on Amazon and features (available for the first time) Shirley Manson’s rendition of Samson and Delilah from our second season’s premiere. The album’s out officially on November 18th, but order your copy now!

And if you haven’t seen Bear’s Blog, stop on by. He often writes about his process for the show and provides insight into the themes he’s created exclusively for our characters.

Reminder: we’re taking a last week off tonight, but we’ll be back ALL-NEW with Brothers of Nablus next Monday at 8PM/7PMc only on FOX!

What can you expect? More Jesse, a special new friend for Cromartie (someone we’ve met before), Sarah and Cameron teaming up, and Ellison like we’ve never seen him…

…from our friends at Warner Bros. Television.

You asked for it, so here’s a quick peak at the preview of the next few episodes. We’ll make sure to keep you in the loop with clips and goodies to sustain the wait until Brothers of Nablus kicks off a streak of four big, all-new episodes on Monday, November 3rd.

November sweeps is nearly upon us, and you’ve got four great episodes, Brothers of Nablus, Mr. Ferguson is Ill Today, Complications, and Strange Things Happen at the One-Two Point coming up!

We’re barely out the door on The Tower Is Tall But the Fall Is Short and we’ve got another break next week for the World Series, but here’s a first look at the next-all new episode, Brothers of Nablus…

Written by Ian Goldberg (What He Beheld), Directed by Milan Cheylov.

And now it’s live here too! Enjoy some behind the scenes scoop on the big fight.

“Absurd, when you put it that way.”

It’s that time again — factoids and fun from last night’s episode, The Tower Is Tall But the Fall Is Short. Just make sure you’ve seen the episode first…

Our props department actually outsourced someone (a Lego pro) to build the lego tower Weaver gifts to Savannah. It was designed in the shape of the actual Tower of Babel (Babylon, Weaver’s project name for the development of the Turk) and was structurally sound. It was built completely without the use of any glue or adhesive — just as the T-1001 would have done.

You may know him as writer/producer Zack Stentz or roaming the message boards as “The Turk,” but inside the writers’ room he goes by another, John Wirth-approved name: Alistair. Did you catch the name of Jesse’s hotel? The Alistair Grand Hotel.

The old interview footage of the real Catherine Weaver and her husband was actually shot twice — for the first time ever, the raw footage was lost upon completion! We’re sure Shirley didn’t mind tossing on that cool pregnancy belly again… (Oh! And speaking of Weaver’s dead husband — though it wasn’t mentioned in the episode, his name is actually Lachlan Weaver).

All of the flashback scenes (including the final reveal that John actually killed Sarkissian), we indeed shot during production on Samson and Delilah. As much of the season’s been planned out since the beginning, they were always intended for use in this episode and we felt the continuity had to match that of the scenes in our premiere episode.

Who was Dr. Boyd Sherman? Well, first off — his name is indeed on the list. Just go back to Automatic for the People to check the bloody wall. Sherman is played by the fantastic Dorian Harewood, best known as “Eightball” in the film Full Metal Jacket.

Surprise, surprise, this episode also featured the return of the Sarah Connor voiceover! Though it’s no longer needed in every episode, it certainly won’t be the last you hear it this season…

Our rock ‘em, shock ‘em girl-on-girl Terminator elevator fight took an entire day to shoot on our stage. It was choreographed by our stunt coordinator Joel Kramer (along with Summer and our contortionist Bonnie Morgan). Bonnie has actually previously worked with both Joel and our special FX makeup guru, Rob Hall. Bonnie and Summer performed all stunts in this sequence (no CGI was used, only a wire for the big toss in the hallway and a fake head for the twisting of the neck). That is even Bonnie pretzeled up in the Connor house! Check out a very cool “Scene Maker” on the fight sequence over on the FOX website.

You got your first look at the Turk’s playroom in this episode! Much discussion went into the design of this very important set, including how the machine actually communicates. Our Production Designer, lighting team, and the Producers analyzed options and eventually decided on those big glass windows in the center of the room (as well as additional televisions). At one point in time, we even briefly considered giving the Turk the ability to communicate audibly ala HAL. Spoiler alert: it’s certainly not the last you’ll see of ZeiraCorp’s basement.

Did you notice Cameron’s signature purple leather jacket (season one) made another appearance? She’s wearing it outside Sherman’s office while listening to the bug. It must have been in one of the bags Derek salvaged from the house fire.

As happens with many of our episodes (for time, generally), not everything we shot for the episode made it in. However, we cut out one very important scene that will eventually appear later in some form… just thought we’d tease you a bit (now that there are nine additional episodes to look forward to)!

Don’t forget! All-new… tonight!
