Tread Perilously's final look at modern Syfy and Fantasy for June centers on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and the episode called "Some Must Watch While Some Must Sleep."
Sarah's latest investigation brings her to a warehouse where she encounters a seemingly resurrected Ed. The two tussle, dose one another with truth serum, and potentially drill down to the real conflict between them. Or it's all a dream as Sarah wakes up in a sleep clinic to deal with her insomnia? But is there something more sinister afoot at the clinic? Is Skynet trying to co-op the dreams of humans for its own ends? Or is the clinic itself the dream?
Erik salts the still-open wound of The Sarah Connor Chronicles' cancellation (for the sake of Dollhouse). Justin reveals how to discover a Gorian in the wild. Sarah Connor's 9/11 speech continues to be a barrier to entry. Erik tries to introduce a new term for big budget movies. James Cameron gets some praise for very specific reasons. The pair try to determine if the first coyote Sarah sees was a happy accident. They also debate acknowledging COVID in scripted shows and Gerd Shockley introduces a new product. But will Erik declare the show the best genre series Fox ever aired?
