Episode 46 - Back Again
Hey folks, it’s been a while! Please excuse the delay, but having finally finished covering Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, we needed a break to deal with some more personal things going on in our lives. We wanted to interrupt our sabbatical though to bring you a mailbag episode where we talk about not only your fanmail, but the upcoming TERMINATOR ZERO anime series as well as the upcoming TERMINATOR: SURVIVORS video game, both of which we’ll be covering on the show this fall. Not only that, but we have an update on where No Fate is going next as a podcast (hint: we’re talking another series), and we also discuss our opinions on what James Cameron’s seventh Terminator film could be. We’re very excited to be back, and we hope you’re ready to tune back in with us. TERMINATOR ZERO drops on Netflix on August 29, 2024 TERMINATOR: SURVIVORS drops on your favorite gaming platforms on October 24, 2024

Welcome back to NO FATE! On this edition, Michael and Tanner continue their coverage of Season 2 of TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES with the episode “Some Must Watch, While Some Must Sleep.” The guys are a bit all over the place here as they reminisce on the ALIEN and PREDATOR franchises for a bit, but never fear, they return to the TERMINATOR universe shortly. As they cover Sarah’s dual plotlines, her relationship with John, and some interesting John/Cameron moments, they mostly gripe about how this episode would’ve worked better if the roles had been reversed. Hot take: this might be the worst episode of TSCC to date.
