Monday night was Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles night at the Los Angeles Kings (hockey!) game at the Staples Center. Not only did an exclusive, new promo run on both the jumbotron and the ice throughout the game, Thomas and Leven were in attendance to promote the show!

It was an exciting game, resulting in a shootout where the Atlanta Thrashers ultimately terminated the Kings. Nonetheless, DVD/T:SCC T-Shirt prize packs were given out to lucky fans and a good time was had by all! Thomas, Leven, and friend of the T:SCC family, Anthony Fitzgerald pose while they enjoy the game! You may not like what she’s up to with John Connor, but Leven’s sure one dedicated hockey fan!

Not only is he an expert flipcam videographer, Thomas has also been around set shooting cast and crew with his real camera. He’s graciously given us access to some of his amazing setside photos to share with you over the course of the next few days…

Big thanks to our friends at TV Guide for the great interviews with Garret, Richard, and Shirley, as well as all the kudos on their site. Make sure to check them out before tonight’s big show.

Even more, more, more! Tuesday we heard from the queen of the cyborgs in a special surprise vodcast, today the robot puppet himself — Garret Dillahunt. Who better to give you five more reasons not to miss the big Friday premiere than the guy who’s played the most characters in our series (John Henry, Cromartie, George Laszlo, and The Beastwizard)! He’s joined by Executive Producer James Middleton, who desperately wants to plug John Henry back in before he reveals too much from this Friday’s all-new, The Good Wound…

(Please don’t forget to check out any of the video podcast episodes you might have missed like Shirley’s Top Five, One Day with Dekker, or the special interviews).

Catch the podcast at it’s real home before it’s too late! And help a friend out! Post it everywhere — message boards, your blog, facebook page, forehead, etc, etc.

Our cast is out selling the show this week in promotion of the big return on Friday night. Make sure you catch them in all their glory and tell your friends, of course!

Thomas appears in-studio on E!’s Chelsea Lately tonight, Thursday, February 12th at 11:35PM. If you caught his appearance on Attack of the Show, you know this will be entertaining…

But that’s not all for young John Connor. Dekker leads Access Hollywood on a tour of the headquarters of Almost Human, our Special FX Makeup Guru, Rob Hall’s workspace. Access Hollywood also airs tonight on NBC at 7:30PM.

Meanwhile, Shirley drops by The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson again to chat up her fellow Scot as well tonight! Thursday, February 12th (technically Friday the 13th because it airs after midnight) at 12:35AM.

And if you miss her on Ferguson, catch Shirley as the premiere guest on Good Day LA, Friday morning between 9:00-10:00AM.

KTLA Morning News, however, will have our John Henry, Garret Dillahunt, to rouse up excitement for the night’s big event. His appearance airs between 9:00-10:00AM as well.

If you’re a bit more old fashioned and would rather be convinced into watching the show via radio, Brian Austin Green will be the guest on Valentine (104.3 MYfm) Friday morning at 7:30AM.

And right before the big premiere, Summer will be co-hosting Extra with Dollhouse star, Eliza Dushku, from 7:00-7:30PM! Extra, Extra!

Tune in!

Thomas stopped by G4’s Attack of the Show yesterday to promote this week’s return-to-the-air, The Good Wound. Hear what he has to say about T:SCC set-side pranks, Summer Glau, and survival tactics.

Furthermore, the TVAddict has a great interview with Thomas up.

In anticipation of our big return on Friday night, we’re going to do a series of catch-me-ups to bring you up to speed with where we last left our favorite characters…

Sweet, normal, hopeful — the typical high school girl. Though she first seemed as such to John, Riley was anything but normal. After earning his trust and admiration it was revealed that Riley was actually recruited by hard-nosed soldier Jesse in the future and traveled back to get close to John. But what’s her real motivation? Is she here for John or for Cameron? And are her feelings starting to become real?

Her life left hanging in the balance after an apparent suicide attempt, we last saw Riley bleeding on the floor of John’s bathroom. Previously she faced down T-888 Cromartie when he appeared at the Connor house, and when her romantic Mexican getaway with John turned dangerous she barely made it out alive. Now Cameron’s suspicious of Riley and Sarah considers her a liability. John still hasn’t told her the truth of his destiny nor has Riley yet confessed her ulterior motives. Is there a chance for this couple if she lives? Or was she doomed from the start?

More! More! More! Ask and ye shall receive, fellow Chroniclers. Today’s special surprise vodcast features our lovely first lady of liquid metal, Shirley Manson, as she teams up with Executive Producer/Writer John Wirth to give you their top five (or so) favorite reasons to tune into this week’s all-new episode, The Good Wound.

It’s Friday, February 6th which means we’re just one week (seven short days) away from the return of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles! And as it’s Friday, it also means it’s video podcast day! But come on, how could you forget that?

Now this one is special. You asked for it (check out those comments), and we made it happen. We gave Thomas, our John Connor, a portable flip cam and sent him off to shoot anything and everything during his day on set. This is what he came back with.

Warning! This video is as real as it gets and does get shaky at times… so if you’ve got a case of the motion sickness blues, you may have to fast forward every so often.

Featuring special guest appearances…

Of course you can still visit the podcast as it’s real home. And send it out everywhere — message boards, your blog, facebook page, forehead, etc, etc.

Happy Monday morning. It’s February 2nd — Groundhog Day — and Puxatony Phil might have predicted six more weeks of winter, but he also reminded us that we have only eleven more days until T:SCC returns with all new episodes!

Lena and Thomas have been shooting quite a few scenes together lately and we were lucky enough to catch a peek at them goofing around when the cameras weren’t rolling.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles returns Friday, Feb 13 at 8:00PM on FOX.
