And TV's John Connor Is...
Merrick here...
Thomas Dekker…who plays Claire’s recurring confidant on HEROES…will play the teen incarnation of future warrior/savior guy John Connor opposite Lena Headey’s Sarah Connor in Fox’s SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES.
Geeks have seen Dekker. He played Thomas Picard back in STAR TREK: GENERATIONS (isn’t Thomas Jean-Luc’s illusory kid in Nexusland?), he’s appeared in STAR TREK: VOYAGER, John Carpenter’sVILLAGE OF THE DAMNED, and SEINFELD among many other credits. Here’s what he looks like…

yay.
-
you know, the episode with the non-fat yogurt and Jerry cusses out the kid?
-
Merrick, they do indeed start principal photography in January.
-
But that picture is pretty embarassing.
-
If my memory serves me correctly, that boy-o had his memory wiped clean at dear old dad's request. Which would suggest he will not be making it out of this season, I should think. But yeah, this works. He's actually a pretty good actor, and with the right direction would make an excellent John Connor.
-
Just as long as they get rid of that, "There's Something About Mary" hairdo.
-
...who wanted some Yankee to hit 3 home runs. Or 2. I forget, but that was him. Then Kramer gets him the autographed card by accident.
-
Yep, gotta love "the Sein". savagexp, that was the very first thing that I also thought of and was about to post back of, pointing out which episode he was in. "This yogurt is SO FUCKIN' GOOD!!" "Jerry!" "umm... ohhhh..."
-
Yea my bad, I don't think he was yogurt boy after all. I believe you got it, he was the same episode as Paul O'Neill.
-
Looks like a chick. Bring back that junkie Furlong.
-
MAKE IT SO.....
-
of 1980's UK new romantic pop. You can see in this shot he is auditioning for the flock of seagulls movie. lead singer maybe?
-
He looks like a girl.
-
And he still has a career? How did that happen? We have to nuke him from orbit, just to be sure...
-
From the looks of his hair, he's getting ready to play Alexander Bumstead.
-
knock knock "Hello?" "Sarah Conner?" "No I'm her son John." "You sure?" "Yes I'm sure." BLAM!! "pretty ladies always lie. hasta la vista, lady boy"
-
He does a fine job on Heroes, and I wish he had played the "Funny fucker" kid, as opposed to the "Paul O'Neil kid".
-
He can hold the inside of my rightpocket while I walk the halls..
-
2 out of 3 John Conners look like pussies. 'My name is John Conner, and I've come to save the world...through the power of Emo".
-
in T2, John Connor is 10 years old. the story of T2 is set in 1994, 3 years before Judgment Day (which, in that timeline, is August 29th, 1997). in T3, we find out that Sarah Connor died in 1997. so how can this series be about Sarah and FIFTEEN YEAR OLD John??? John would be 15 in 1999, and Sarah would be dead by that time! then again, in T3 John tells us that he was 13 years old in T2 (which is a blatant case of retcon, but the screenwriters thought that no-one would notice). if we accept that, the timeframe of the series does make sense, but it still seems kinda stupid that Sarah and John would get attacked by Terminators on a weekly basis.
-
That's gotta be eyeliner. He must be big in the William H. Macy in "Happiness" demographic.
-
But he was pretty good in Heroes actually, in a rather unrewarding and thinly written role to boot. <p>That said, John Connor age logic has been totally assfucked ever since Mostow took it upon himself to decide that the facts of the previous Terminator films didn't matter (I mean seriously, what does James Cameron know anyhow, right?) and no one would give a shit if he changed the established facts while doing Terminator 3 (and if he truly thought that no one would give a shit then why bother to change it to begin with? Idiot.). Yeah, managed to fuck your career and your credibility right into the ground with them smart choices of yours, didn't you Mostow? Good work with that.
-
So is Connor already a slacker?
-
playing a duplicitous faith-healer with herpes. Did a pretty good job in that, had good self-assurance and intensity, more so than the unwashed geek in Heroes. Somewhere in between needs to be where JC should begin, but he needs to grow a pair fast, else how could he lead a world revolution? T3's version was a bit too panty-waisted for me, was hoping more for grizzled-ness. Not that i'll watch the show. ever.
-
NO!!!
-
"Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show". A fact that I recalled because I used partially watch that show cuz the mother was hawt...
-
I'd fuck him if he wore a dress
-
it's not really Mostow's fault. I mean, he's the director, but he didn't write it. according to IMDB, the guys to blame would be John D. Brancato, Michael Ferris and Tedi Sarafian. :) however, since the day I saw T3, I've also been wondering if someone had really fucked up, or if maybe someone had been such a clever geekish sci-fi-writer that most poeple just didn't get it. I mean, the story (and revealed backstory) of T3 is clever. that even in T2, Skynet hadn't just tried to kill John himself, but also to prevent John from falling in love with Kate, because their children would become important in the Resistance. then, years later, Skynet tried the same thing, the day that John and Kate meet for the second time. now if only there wasn't that matter with John's age. but maybe the writers didn't really fuck this up, but it was really John and Sarah who fucked up the timeline! after all, at the end of T2, they seriously changed the future by destroying the chip and arm that would lead to the creation of Skynet (I). Skynet (II) did get created anyway (maybe Cyberdyne had some backups or something), but the whole Judgment Day thing was postponed several years, so EVERYTHING in this new timeline must be totally different to the original future from T1 and T2. who knows, maybe Kyle Reese's parents were killed during the rise of the machines, and the Resistance sent someone completely different back in time to save Sarah and to become the father of John Connor. this would not only explain why John looks different in T3, but it could also explain the age difference, if Skynet (II) simlpy decided to kill Sarah 3 years before Skynet (I) had. wow, I'm actually starting to like this theory. :)

I THINK EVERYONE IS FORGETTING THAT THIS KID PLAYED THE LITTLE GAY KID ON HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS ON TV. EVERYTIME I WATCHED THAT SHOW (NOTHING ELSE AT 6 AM ON WB) BESIDES THINKING ABOUT THAT HOT ASS MOM ON THE SHOW, I WOULD SAY DAMN THIS KID IS GONNA BE A HOMO. SOME LINKS TO WHAT THIS KID LOOKED LIKE: http://members.tripod.com/reggiezippo1/e6b80af0.jpg AND FOR A VIDEO OF THIS KID NOT LIKING GIRLS FROM HISTK: http://youtube.com/watch?v=81xNnavRbgk I LOVE TERMINATOR..DAMN A GAY CONNOR THAT IS GAY
-
Make a series called "Get Out" based on the victims thrown from vehicles in the past three films and there subsequent recoveries as they get their lives back on track and come to terms with carjacking robots.
-
IT'S A FRANCHISE ABOUT KILLER ROBOTS TRAVELING THROUGH TIME TO KILL THE LEADER OF THE RESISTANCE AGAINST SKYNET. And you're worried about his fucking AGE? Wow.
-
no matter how fantastic a story may be, it still needs to be CONSISTENT, or it stops working
-
LOL, good idea
-
I really doubt that anyone forgot... especially since it was mentioned about 5-6 posts before yours.
-
Oh, wait...no regenerating hymen. My mistake.
-
Doggus47, I think you mean Dylan Baker.
-
AND DANG YOU MICHAEL BAY
-
INSTEAD, why don't they do a mini where they show that Robocop initiated the AI wars, then cleaned 'em up the way only RC can...
-
I'm still a little confused at this concept. I dont know..I'll have to see the pilot.
-
Makes sense. If you can't help the dwindling human population by breeding, the only other responsible choice is to become the leader of the revolution. I want some gay genre pieces - gay superheros, gay dragonslayers, gay monsters - Brokeback Mountain would have been totally more better if they were werewolves.<br><br>Also, DAMN YOU RACHEL RAY = lol.

The revolution against the machines will be FAB-U-LOUS!
by Big Bad Clone
"Ooh what a darling anti tank missile, let's put it over there to blow up those fucking robots. And who's this stud?" "Kyle Reese" "My my, I guess you really will be my daddy."
-
let's run over lionel richie with a tank. It's nice to see that "100 Sarah Conners" lives on.
-
There will be terminators.
-
That's who I thought he was as well. Can anyone confirm? Hilarious ep.
-
Missed the couple comments that followed it, went straight to posting. ;)
-
I still haven't completely bleached my brain of Nick Stahl's "performance" in "T3: Get To The Future Wars Already!!!"
-
BLOOD?
-
God that shits funny if your 16, but when you're 36...
-
all smothering. "Look out, John, that T-1000 just formed himself into a tasteful throw pillow"
-
I never, ever thought this would be a go from that blurb a few months back. I'm cautiously optomistic that it could retain the spirit of the movies/books/comics and give us something that hopefully isn't just superfluous noise. I actually loved Terminator 3, if anyone can believe that. Hopefully this will turn into something good.
-
But that picture was a bad, bad choice for all involved.
-
But seriously, does anyone think this WON'T fail? The present day story of Skynet and the Connors is stale. The end of T3 moved us beyond it. Why take a step back in time to have this series when you could move forward and get on with the future (a theme that was very strong throughout the films)? I have to say, the ending of T3 knocked me on my ass. I thought it was the most powerful scene of all three films. My point? It sucks to have that be the final image of the Terminator series, and now we have to move backwards to this. Blah.
-
... for the upcoming George Michael biopic
-
...geeks should never harp on athletic types for their latent homosexual tendencies. Given the opportunity you'd all gay out in a big way. Just not with each other. Well at least you have standards. <P> I see no need for this series. The Sega Genesis game provided me with more than enough closure on all things Terminator. <P>
-
In short, this show concept sounds like a loose-stool poop-fest to me.<br> <br> What's next? "Dude, Where's My Terminator?" or "Terminators on a Plane?"
-
That's the little sick boy from "The wink" episode. Is It or does that kid look like Keira Knightley
-
wouldn't sarah die at the end of season 2? I guess it'd be great for sweeps tho..
-
Definitely the sick kid who wants multiple home runs from Paul O'Neil.<br><br>But to me, he'll still <i>looks</i> like a funny fucker.
-
He has a female teen sidekick that's sent from the future to be his protector. He, the teen and Sarah are being pursued by another Terminator and leave via a time travelling device 1997 arriving in, get this, 2007. Naked, of course in the middle of a freeway. During rush hour. I shit you not.
-
I hate 95% of the talkbackers..you can all die and go to hell..every reply has to be either sarcastic or the same joke done for the 190 millionth time..or even worse full of hate!
-
Won't be watching this shitty show.
-
Its bad because...its bad story. That's where ideas begin. Doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure that one out.
-
Your post is full of hate.
-
sorry. there's just is no other word to describe that picture. except maybe... GAY! In other words, it looks gay. And by gay I mean happy.
-
I never supported that racist asshole richards...
-
That trailer was swwwweeeeeet.
-
and he still looks fucking creepy. "skynet sent eight hundred and twenty two terminators back through time, it was just a question of which one's we could be arsed sending somebody back to fight" might be shit but we'll all watch anyway
-
thats the funniest post i've seen in ages, nice, id pay to see it as a movie.
-
no hate in the above post! or in his. quality
-
If we are going to get a kraptacular series, how 'bout they should for a blaxploitation motiff and give the role to Sticky Fingaz instead?
-
typos be damned.
-
"never give up, never surrender" who was hercules really a thermian or a member of the galaxy quest crew.
-
And the new 300 trailer is out at SHH! http://www.superherohype.com/news/300news.php?id=4981
-
greatest line EVER.
-
Didn't Gunn say that in Angel when they were locked in that cell when Jasmine took over?
-
"WOLVERINES!!!"
-
or just another undercrumble and fitch model?.
-
"I am a stabbing robot."
-
Well as one of the few "admittedly" gay men on this board I'd have to say I fuck Thomas but I prefer he didn't wear a dress. It's to bad Zach won't be coming out as gay on Heroes though. Oh, and why the hell do we need a Terminator tv show anyway?
-
http://youtube.com/watch?v=BHqma3-5DIo In the zone.
-
He looks nothing like zach, zach looks so much fitter
-
TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN. . . It's going to be good (sarcasm) watching HKs roll through high school.
-
Are there any real people on TV?
-
I'll out myself as a leguizamo fan. Some day he will win an oscar.
-
That is all.
-
I dont get how they are making John Connor a Female but that's cool...
-
That's the kind of photo you shred, burn and bury and hope to God that no one saw it.
-
hunterkiller tanks, flyers, the works and just OWN allof time? whys stop at terminators.
-
...,plucks his eyebrows, and blow-wave's his fucking hair? That's a sure win for the human race I tells ya! Even them Terminators will laugh themselves to death! Pretty-boy-band-gay-dude does not a good action-hero make...
-
Did you see the films? Only living matter will transport through time (I don't know why - I didn't build the fucking thing). However now that you mention it, if they can cheat the system simply by covering a terminator in living tissue, why not do that with the weapons, tanks etc? Sounds like a good idea to me.
-
What's going on with AICN? I see no picture...
-
Apparently one has to be logged on to see images?
-
Put a dress on him and give me a few minutes to get drunk.
-
It's buggered. And I'm actually looking forward to this. If it turns out to be Young Indiana Jones, I'll cry blood bogeys.
-
Eejits.
-
Flashback to the flash forward that showed a scarred and relatively ugly ass mofo portraying the future John Connor and tell me this is good casting. By the way, asshat, nice head shot. Did they use a fan to get that hair effect or did your agent goo on your head?
-
Everyone was so pissed this guy had his memory wiped. Now we know why! Just like "eden" HAD to kill herself caus eof another acting gig so goes this guy. Did anyone see Claire the Cheerleader on VH1 Awards last night with Tommy Lee? He was all over her. I guess she has an "album" comming out soon. She's a singer I guess. Hopefully not a rapper!
-
She played with T3 John Connor (Nick Stahl) in Carnivale, and she's also in Heroes which co-stars this new John Connor. This may be nuts but can they get Clancy Brown to play a Terminator? Kurgan as the Terminator would kick ass, even if he is old now. Kai_Mah'gra, uh, wouldn't John Connor's father Reese also be made of living matter, hence how he travelled back in time when only living matter can time-travel? You must really not have watched the first movie to be questioning all this. Do kids actually not watch that movie now? I might have been a child of the 80s, but of course I watched Planet of the Apes and 2001 and Soylent Green etc.
-
She's never really knocked me out, but I guess she has fans...
-
The funny fucker kid (who also played a part on Babylon 5 as the kid who joins the Psi Corps in the Psi Corps PSA) is listed here: http://imdb.com/name/nm0333174/ and is named John Christian Graas. He hasn't worked since 1996.
