"Heroes" Star Set to Join the "Sarah Connor Chronicles"

by Scott Weinberg | December 08, 2006

A few weeks back it was announced that up & comer Lena Headey would star as the mother of the future in "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," a TV series based upon the "Terminator" flicks. And now comes word that "Heroes" actor Thomas Dekker will be playing her son, John Connor.

From The Hollywood Reporter: "Thomas Dekker is set to play John Connor in Fox's drama pilot "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," from WBTV and C2, the company of "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" producers Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna.

Written by Josh Friedman, the project takes place after the events depicted in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" and follows Sarah Connor (Lena Headey), a modern warrior and loving single mom to 15-year-old son John (Dekker). Dekker recurs on NBC's hit new drama "Heroes" as Zach, Claire's (Hayden Panettiere) friend and confidant."

He's a "closet gay" on the show so it's not surprising. But they pretty much eliminated any need for him on the show last week, which was kinda sad I liked his characters relationship to clare.

Sounds like a very cool TV series! I'm so sick of constant CSI, Bones, cop/ lawyer shows!
It's all we get in Australia!
We got no Hero's, Battlestar or anything interesting!
Man I hope it's gona get here!

I don't think he's actually gay on heroes Jackie just said he was. I guess he could've been, but it would've been cool to see him and Claire start liking each other. Too bad his mind was wiped clean by the Haitian, who's one of my favorite characters after what he did with Claire.

This guy looks like a puss. Ed Furlong was hardcore as John Connor. I was excited about this series but I'm starting to have my doubts.

Yeah I guess I should have been a little more clear. But after Jackie said that then Zack had that little "I have to be true to myself" talk with Claire I wasn't sure if he was just saying that he was or if he was just saying he doesn't care if people just think that.

And to GreenBastard...all i'm going to say is you sould really google a thing called Bittorrent.

This is supposed to be about The Sarah Conner Chronicles and everyones talking about Heroes. lol. So fricken hilarious.

But back onto topic, I think that Peter and Claire gel better than Zack. He's a cool guy. But I think Peter is better.... Now they just gotta find someway to make it seem alright that a guy in his mid twenties is dating a high school student.

I can't wait for Hiro to get his sword either. I wonder how they're gonna do the T-Rex sequence. That looks really interesting.

This kid stunk up every scene he was in on Heroes. Pretty much this ends any possibility of this show being even decent.

Yeah I was thinking they might do something between Peter and Claire, they would have to somehow make it not creepy. It could work though. And how the heck did Sylar's power work all of the sudden!??!?

LOL- are you serious?? Eddie Furlong was certainly not "hardcore" in T2. He was a whiny, foul-mouthed little kid. Sure, that's exactly what the role required, but..."hardcore"???

That's a good question. I was talking about it with the guys the other day. How in the hell did Syler do that? The answer is, he didn't. It was a visit from one of the movie gods, know only as Lord of the Plot Holes.

Actually there could be a few reasons....he could have still been weak from his fight with peter, knowing he could bust out at any time he could have just been trying to get some info on who was hunting him. I think there was a reason he could do what he did, hell maybe he just wanted to get caught so he could be around more people like him and steal their powers....

most likely, it was because of the Hatian guy. It's pretty obvious that one of his abilities is blocking out others' powers. Maybe he fell asleep or something...

I don't think sylar's powers suddenly started working ,I think Sylar can only move solid objects,and since she was holding the gun he was able to pull her over.Good thing she shot herself,that way he won't be able to know how her mind ticks.
