It’s Friday which means it’s time for another episode of our Video Podcast! This week’s edition features an exclusive look behind-the-scenes — no, not a prepackaged glossy video — raw and real.

Check out Executive Producer Josh Friedman introduce the footage, but spoilerphobes beware: this is a scene from an upcoming episode and may hold the key to a few things if you’re paying close attention…

  1. Interesting ^_^ Looks like John-Henry tells Savannah something or does something that scares her. I’m excited! Can’t wait for next Friday now haha

  2. Geesh, I wasn’t expecting Savannah to scream like that- I had my volume up so it was pretty loud.. xDD

    Wow, this is so unbelievably ‘tight’
    I love watching behind the scenes stuff like this, its almost as cool as watching the episode itself! I wonder what’s going on in this scene, looks like Savannah was pretty freaked out at what John Henry said or did.

    Only 21 more days…. :DD

  3. Interesting but i was kinda hoping it was going to be a scene with Cameron in :(.

  4. That was great seeing that scene being filmed!

    I don’t think it was John Henry that Savannah was scared of. What was it that was in the room with the memory cores? The minion who came running in ended up on the ground with no contact from Henry.

    Now, Weaver/T1001 seems to trust Henry enough to leave it alone with Savannah (or perhaps the T1001 doesn’t care wether Savannah may or not come into harm beyond keeping her cover). Or perhaps Savannah is being disobedient and visiting Henry without the T1001’s knowledge. I doubt Ellison would be too happy that they are mixing company!

    I wonder wether or not the scene is related to the shot in the teaser for Episode 14, where Henry says “You’re not quite human”, and the T1001 answers, cover blown, “Is that so?”. Can’t wait 21 days to go!!!!!!

  5. What a consummate professional little Mckenzie is. She is completely comfortable on the set, and knows when it’s time to turn on the magic. I think that’s the best part of this scene.

    @Paul Anderson - you presume that Weaver “cares” for Savannah other than as a good cover. I think she “cares” more for John Henry than for Savannah.

  6. Hrm interesting stuff… Wonder what scared her so much?
    Gah, those new eps better come soon. I just don’t get the whole john henry weaver story. What the hell is happening there? Can’t wait… Hope some things get resolved!

  7. I can’t for the life of me make out what’s on the table next to John Henry and Savanna.

  8. Is the Wiki down? I can’t load http://www.terminatorwiki.fox.com from any computer I have tried; and it won’t load from my email links either? Am I the only one? I’ve seen some people have replied to my threads but I can’t post any response (can’t even read their comments). Help!

  9. im a broncos fan too woo!

  10. coach you may have been ……….Terminated !!!!!!!!!! LOL
    I have never seen the wiki not work.

    about the podcast, it was cool to see it filmed, the loud buzzers got on my nerves though ! I had it up loud too and savanahs scream was loud too.
    I couldnt tell what was on the table either, and it looked like weavers bald assistant that came running in and then went down for what reason I dont know.
    I could see JH still had a cord attacthed.
    overall it was interesting, but I didnt see any clue either.

  11. Thanks for posting that Josh! A little TSCC fix goes a long, long way =)

    Can’t wait to find out what Cromartie did/said to freak Savannah the hell out.

  12. So will Ellison and John Henry actually stop being Weaver’s lapdogs by the end of the season? This doesn’t exactly look promising in that respect.

  13. Thanks Josh! I really enjoyed the video with John Henry / Catherine / Ellison. I love the characters, I think Catherine will be a great surprise. The Savannah again, I love this girl.

  14. “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage” is what comes up. No webpage at all! But my email feed keeps sending be messages are ciming in frm other people so I know the threads are still going…I just can’t access anything anywhere on the Terminator wiki - not even from the main Terminator website here: it’s as if they never registered the web address!

    Any idea how this could be and how to fix it?

  15. It’s a Internet attack/failure… :(

    Not targeted for you, of course, dear friend!

    For example, in some days, the (virtual) USA is gone for me (I live in Europe).

    Please, you must to have faith! :D

    The T:SCC fans never stop like the favorites cybernetic organisms! ;)

    There is no such site http://www.terminatorwiki.fox.com/ . Use http://terminatorwiki.fox.com/ (without www).

  17. Josh and Company,

    Thank you so much for posting the behind the scenes like this…again this blog is really a treat.

    I was on the WB lot last December and was nosing around and saw the outside of the stages where the show is filmed. I turned to my friend and said that T:SCCC wasn’t going to be very good…so we didn’t nose around. Things like this make up for all the times I kick for myself for not trying to get a little peek at the show last year!

    Keep up the great work — I am really enjoying your peeks at your process.

  18. Wow, cool stuff! I always love seeing bts shots - it’s nice to see the hardworking crew in there and to get a taste for how a set works. Hmm…I sense ominous things going on between JH and Savannah.

  19. Notice that Savanna ran not to Weaver but to Ellison. I’ve been wondering about Ellison’s state of mind since he first talked to Weaver. Does he really believe that she (a) is in fact human (b) that she really is out to stop the machines? Hopefully this scene is a either a wake up call for the character or it will shown he has really playing a double game all along.

    On a separate note. I was watching the DVD of Generation Kill (a Christmas gift) and right off the bat I see a familar face. Owain Yeoman (Cromartie in the pilot episode) as a recon Marine (Sgt Eric Kocher). Another TSCC alumnus in GK is Billy Lush (Eric in Self Made Man) who I would never have recognized as another recon Marine (LC Trombley).

    Memo to the TSCC casting team: there’s an actor in Generation Kill named Rudy Reyes (playing himself) who would make a perfect Terminator. As long as he doen’t smile he’s got that perfect hard look Terminator face. He’s also a martial arts expert so mastering how a Terminator moves would be easy for him.

  20. nice

  21. Thanks for the warning about writers on the set, Josh! I’m an aspiring screenwriter and need to know this stuff! :)

    Is anyone else on severe T:SCC withdrawls?

  22. “Is anyone else on severe T:SCC withdrawls?”

    Me :(.

  23. @ Mark

    omg YES!! it’s been horribe! I’ve watched the first season and all the eps so far from the second season at least three times each…IT HASN’T HELPED!! Friday the thirteenth is taking way to long to get here…and on top of all the waiting the writers keep giving us all the tantalizing hints…Ok people…there’s only so much a person can take. FEB 13 COME QUICKLY!!

  24. I’m definately showing withdrawal symptoms… I know season 1 by heart already, and season 2 is getting there :p Fanfics only work for so long….
    Need new episodes! ;)

  25. Glad I’m not alone lol. Its strange though as Ive never really been so excited about a series ever. I keep checking this blog every few hours every day to see if theres another update. Its good to know theres like minded people out there.

    Ive watched the first season twice now and watched the episodes a third time with the commentary on. The only disappointing thing about the commentary is that Summer is really quiet and hardly says a word. I would have been very interested to hear her view on certain scenes.

  26. You too!? I’ve already checked the blog nine times today…If that’s not addiction I’m quite sure what is! I kno i was a bit disappointed at the commentary was well. Sorry but Dekker talks to much, let Summer get in a word!

  27. Yeah its the same on the commentary for Serenity :(. She gets asked something by Whedon to try and let her get a word in edge ways and shes about to speak and then Nathan Fillion cracks a joke and it moves onto the next person. Its entertaining sure but i would really like to hear what Summer has to say as well. You’re right Dekker does the same thing on T:SCC, its like they want all the attention to their selves.

    At least it was picture in picture commentary on the Serenity Blu-Ray so you could at least watch her reactions to the film.

    Thats what i like about Convention panels, when it comes to audience questions Summer gets her fair share.

  28. Oh how i want blue-ray and the opportunity to go to Comic Con, would that not be awesome or what!?!?

    It’s painful to watch interviews with both Dekker and Summer. She sits by his side looking all cute and absolutely amazing and Dekker can’t stop running his mouth.
    Dude come on, there are very few people who actually care about your side of the interview, we want to hear from the girl who plays the totally butt kickin TERMINATOR! NOT the whiny emo boy who needs to get over himself…nothing against Dekker personally, I just care about Summer/ Cam not Thomas/ John.

    ps. Make that twelve times now…

  29. yeah we need the blog updated daily with something ! and maybe 2 podcasts a week, 1 on monday and 1 friday.
    I am glad savanah is back, everyone liked her, and she did run to ellison, and weaver and ellison looked kinda chummy.
    I didnt see the clue that josh said was there, and I didnt get what happend to the guy who ran in and slid.
    anyone else see a possible clue ??

  30. I check the blog about four times during my working day, once each evening. And with every new update my heart jumps a little just because of the hope i get on getting new insights or interviews or whatever. Sad huh? Never had that with a show before!

  31. I didn’t pick up the clue either. And what was up with the guy sliding across the floor, it looked like Weaver’s head tech guy (whatever his name is)…

    They seriously need to update this blog more often, they should get Lena or Summer or Thomas to post something, who cares what it is, it could be one of their favorite lines from an upcoming ep (if i remember correctly when they posted a single line before it generated a lot of comments).

    JUST GIVE US SOMETHING TO THINK AND TALK ABOUT!!

  32. “they should get Lena or Summer or Thomas to post something, who cares what it is”

    That would be great, would love to see a comment from Summer.

  33. I kno…i totally wished she would have been on the Alison from Palmdale podcast, not that John and Toni weren’t entertaining it just would have been cool to hear directly from Summer. I was hoping that during this ep hiatus they’d fill in some of the gaps by getting podcasts for all the eps of S2 part one, like a certain…Self-Made Man ep… if you haven’t guessed by now I’m a DEVOTED SUMMER GLAU FAN!
