Dekker dishes on Sarah Connor Chronicles mid-season premiere - VIDEO
Thomas Dekker has confirmed that his character, John Connor, will meet a very important family member in the mid-season premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I'm sure most of you die-hard Terminator fans have already guessed who this family member is. Click through for the answer and a few more minor T:TSCC spoilers that came straight from the savior of humanity himself.
Dekker didn't offer any details, but he revealed that John Connor will meet his pops, Kyle Reese, when the show moves to Fridays on Feb. 13. Originally played by Michael Biehn in the 1984 Terminator movie, Kyle Reese was the future resistance fighter who traveled back in time to save Sarah Connor from the big bad Arniebot. Former General Hospital star Jonathon Jackson (he was the cool Lucky) will return to play Kyle on the show. Jackson has appeared on the show before as Kyle in a few "flashback-to-the-future" scenes, but he's never shared a scene with Dekker. This will mark the first time John Connor and Kyle Reese will meet in the history of the Terminator franchise.
This brings up so many questions, I don't even know where to begin. It sorta seems like the writers are playing fast and loose with the Terminator mythology with all the supposed time paradoxes and alternate realities, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. Somehow, I'm sure it'll all make sense in the end.
So, is this a younger Kyle Reese than we saw in the movie? One who has yet to travel to 1984 and throw down with Arnie? An alternate-reality version? Another cyborg sent to infiltrate John's camp? Make with the theories already, people!
Dekker also confirmed that a character will (probably) die this season. My bet's on Riley (Leven Rambin), even though Dekker says Riley didn't kill herself in the mid-season finale (Boo!). He also said the show will become more serialized and more "science fiction" for the rest of the season (Woo Hoo!). Surely that means we'll get nine awesome new episodes then Fox will immediately cancel it and replace it with something that has the word "Dancing" in the title.
