Friday, February 13 - we’re back! Think the FOX promo department wants you to know there’s something “new” going on at The Sarah Connor Chronicle this spring?
Check out this new preview which tells you very little…

the rumor mill.

Quite a lot of rumors (true and false) are spreading out in the T:SCC interverse. Here are a few we can confirm or deny (of course, mild spoiler alert!):

Our big second season finale (penned by Showrunner Josh Friedman) will be directed by Dungeons & Dragons‘ helmer, Jeffrey Hunt.

Some characters we have not yet seen this season will return by season’s end. Guesses on who they include? Who you’d like to see?

This does not include Andy Goode/Billy Wisher.

Another alumnus from The Wire will play a predominate role in upcoming episodes of the series. You may remember Andre “Bubbles” Royo played resistance fighter, Sumner, last season.

Upcoming (still unannounced) episode titles include literary allusions, song titles, and dialogue references. One even references a piece by Virginia Woolf…

The Beastwizard will be mentioned again.

Right now… twenty feet away… just behind that closed door… Josh Friedman hovers over his keyboard, meticulously penning the words to episode twenty-two, our big second season finale.

Guesses on how the season will end?

In the meantime, here’s some some photographic insight into the first episode back — The Good Wound — episode fourteen, airing Friday, February 13th on FOX.

where are they now?

Life on the set of Sarah Connor is like an overgrown, extended family. And while we may not love everyone we come in contact with, we do have a special place in our heart for those that have been along for the journey. Over the course of the last season and a half, a few of those special family members have broken out of the mold and traveled off in another direction. Here’s a look at what a few of our T:SCC friends are up to now…

Did you catch last night’s big FOX premiere of Lie to Me? Yep, that was Brendan “Andy Goode (aka Billy Wisher)” Hines as Eli. And he’s not our only alumni hanging out with the liars — our old writers’ assistant, Jami O’Brien, is one of their top staff writers! Check out their good work on Wednesdays at 9:00PM.

You might have seen Kristina “Cheri Westin” Apgar playing the role of Lily on the CW’s Privileged. You can catch her not hiding from John Connor on Tuesday nights at 9:00PM.

Former Supervising Producer and Writer John “Heavy Metal” Enbom has traded robots for parties. He’s the Executive Producer and creative genius behind the Starz Network’s big new comedy, Party Down, about cater-waiters in Los Angeles. Enbom is credited with co-creating the series with writer Rob Thomas and actor Paul Rudd. Party Down premieres March 20th.

Our first Director of Photography left us midway through the first season to return to his creepy roots — on the X-Files, that is. Bill Roe is credited on over eighty episodes of the 90’s FOX hit series and had to go for another round on last year’s feature film, The X-Files: I Want to Believe. With that under his belt, Roe followed director Chris Carter onto his next film, Fencewalker, and has been nonstop ever since!

It seems that former boom operator Bill Didonna actually made the biggest change of all! Sometime earlier this season our sound expert ventured off to open his own Los Angeles restaurant. Known as “15,” Didonna’s Echo Park bistro may be going through a name change soon (look out for the “Allston Yacht Club”). Check it out if you’re in LA!

mystery: case of the missing chairback.

This just in from Executive Producer James Middleton: “Shortly before the holidays, I heard Shirley Manson laughing and screaming with delight on stage. She had noticed that her chair finally had her name on it. It was a first in her career as an actress. I was kind of amazed at her reaction because, well, she’s a rock star and she’s seen her name everywhere. But that’s Shirley. Zero cynicism. Living in the moment. Totally engaged and loving the show. But then it went missing…”

Overzealous Garbage fan in our ranks? Simple case of a misplaced chair back? We may never know.

But she does have a new one now… and we have some extras hidden away just in case it goes missing again…
