Our march towards the season finale continued tonight with To the Lighthouse. Talk about it with your fellow Chroniclers (and probably Zack) right here after it airs.

Wow. Really? No way! How in the…? Okay, okay, talk about Today is the Day - Part 2 with your fellow Chroniclers right here. If you haven’t seen it, spoilers ahead.

Update: We’ll be back Monday with the usual behind-the-scenes scoop, but because Ash noticed so many of you asking (and I forgot to tell the good people at FOX for the main site), the song that plays over Derek and Jesse in the garage is New Messiah by Dead Heart Bloom.

Discussion of Today is the Day - Part 1 may commence. Keep it clean, Chroniclers!

Ourselves Alone is upon us and you should have lots to talk about after tonight. This episode starts the very serialized run to the end of the season so pay close attention– the plot thickens.

You may know her best from her unofficial T:SCC online comicals, but frequent blog commenter and livejournal blogger Allergygal/Roxy Bisquaint is dedicated to all things Sarah Connor.

If you’ve got some time, take a moment to read her hilarious (see: tongue-in-cheek!) and intelligently well thought-out entry entitled, “The Idiot’s Guide to Sarah’s Transformation” — it’s excellent play-by-play on the character of Sarah Connor up to this point!

Well done, SuperChronicler. We love your dedication.

As Josh mentioned in his previous post, Some Must Watch, While Some Must Sleep is the final chapter of the series’ exploration of Sarah Connor’s mental journey. Some of you will love it and some will hate it, but as you talk about it here, please remember to be respectful of everyone!

You one of the lucky few bound for San Francisco’s Wondercon this weekend? Well, we’ll be there so come for some Friedman, Glau, and Manson, stay for the very, very exclusive preview of the last six episodes. More info can be found through Wondercon.

Sunday, March 1st
2:00-2:45 Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Q&A - Join stars Summer Glau (Cameron) and Shirley Manson (Catherine Weaver), and executive producer Josh Friedman (War of the Worlds [2005]) as he previews the rest of this exciting season and answers questions from fans. Airing Fridays at 8:00 PM on FOX, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is produced by Bartleby Company and The Halcyon Company in association with Warner Bros. Television. Esplanade Ballroom

First off, here’s the good news according to WBTV — “In its first Friday night telecast, TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES maintained the season-to-date average of prior time period occupant ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5th GRADER among A18-49 and earned double digit increases among all key men demos (+20% among M18-34, +33% in M18-49 and +40% with M25-54). In fact, TERMINATOR, placed as the #1 program in its 8PM hour among M18-34 and M18-49.”

BUT, we’ve got a long, uphill battle to prove we deserve season three and we absolutely need your help. Here are a few ways that YOU can help boost attention and ratings.

**Watch it live! Yes, it’s Friday nights but it’s at 8PM. There’s plenty of time to still go out afterwards. I know we watch it live. Plus, target your Battlestar fan friends that might have not checked out our show yet. With us, Dollhouse, and BSG, it’s the perfect excuse to throw a Friday night sci-fi party and get your friends addicted.

**DVR it and watch it again (and again) within THREE DAYS. That’s how long Nielsen tracks recorded viewership. And you don’t need a Nielsen Box to be counted for that.

**Watch it again on FOX.com. Unfortunately, we’ve just found out that Hulu does not participate in Nielsen’s online viewership tracking, but FOX does! So please make it count! Truthfully, the HD quality is better on FOX’s site anyway.

**Make us #1 in the iTunes TV store as well as Amazon.com. Executives are always curious what’s selling well and definitely relate it to the potential for ratings growth!

**Use your creativity! Stage FLASH MOBS and arrange for lots of fans to show up to public places (outside busy stores, wherever the TV news channels may be, etc) decked out in homemade T:SCC shirts, carrying supportive signs. Of course, mind the law and don’t get in trouble! You think it’s too little, it won’t work? Think again! Grassroots support like that sure helped elect a certain new President…

**Email friends, family, coworkers, reporters, bloggers, pets, etc and explain to them WHY this show matters to you. Appeal to them on a personal level! Sure, it’s action and adventure, but it’s also a meaningful drama with thought out character development and a serialized storyline. Plus, with only 23 episodes under our belt, it’s easy to catch up!

**Work together! There are great, dedicated sites like the Sarah Connor Society and Sarah Connor Chronicles.org that can be used for organizing your plans. Plenty excellent choices listed in our blogroll right on this site.

**Arrange a trade-off. Switch DVDs with fans of other shows with potentially likeminded audiences. Again, Whedon fans are a great go-to, as are Battlestar dedicates. Arrange local viewing parties, hit up other show’s message boards (but always be polite!), and pimp out T:SCC.

These are just a few ideas but it’s really up to you. We’ve just begun what is essentially our last week of production on season two and we really would like to see the story continue (and feel like you’ll want it to as well!). Shout out in the comments area with other potential ideas. As we’re prone to say, there’s no fate but what we make…

The Good Wound has come and gone but were you paying attention? Prove it!

We’re not technically allowed to do any sort of giveaway on the site, but we are allowed to find our most dedicated fan (you know, just for fun). And hey, use your actual email address in your response comment just in case we need to contact you for any reason…

1. What is Dr. Felicia’s last name?
2. According to John Henry, who is Tahu Nuva sworn to defeat?
3. What tool did Felicia use to see the bullet and get it out of Sarah’s leg?
4. What type of energy plant has Catherine Weaver not bought up for ZeiraCorp?
5. What is the name of Jesse’s hotel?

We won’t quote Bryan Adams but we will say, hit us with your best shot…

Big thanks to everyone that came out for today’s live chat with Josh and Thomas. It was an overwhelming success so we definitely intend to have more of them. Special thanks to Fancast for hosting it, and of course, Thomas and Josh!
