You're probably wondering what the heck I am talking about. With September just about to descend on us, a new year is set to begin.
No, I am not referring to school.
I am referring to the shows we have come to know and love. Some shows are starting right away while some don't start until the new year. This is good in case you haven't had the chance to catch up on the closing moments of the previous season. You still have time to miss those episodes you missed such as Lost which doesn't start until Winter 2009.
What are some of my favorite shows returning in September?
First, one show that is likely returning for its final season and that show is "SMALLVILLE".
The last time we saw Clark Kent he was being confronted by Lex Luthor inside his Fortress of Solitude. Lex finally discovered that Clark was the mysterious "Traveler" that his father had been protecting the identity of for many years. As Lex plunged the glowing orb into the Fortress console panel, Clark collapsed to the ground as his powers were instantly sapped from his body. Lex embraced Clark as the Fortress collapsed onto them and the two disappeared into thin air leaving us wondering if they survived the collapse.
Now, as a new season begins, The Justice League, led by the Green Arrow, hits the Arctic in search of Clark, who disappeared after the Fortress collapsed. The team immediately has a confrontation with the new CEO of LuthorCorp, Tess Mercer. Meanwhile, Chloe is being held prisoner by a suspicious group who has discovered she has a new power, and Clark has been stripped of his powers by Jor-El.
Additionally this season, we'll see the arrival of a new enemy to face off against the future "Man of Steel" in the form of the deadly nemesis known as "Doomsday". It remains to be seen if this version will hold true to the one from the comics who became the only entity able to actually kill Kal-El after their epic battle in Metropolis back in DC Comics in the mid 90's.
Another show I am looking forward to returning is "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles". The show had a very limited season which only lasted 9 episodes and picked up where the events of T2: Judgment Day left off.
The pilot episode was set in 1999 and introduced Sarah Connor, her son John, and Cameron, a Terminator that had been re-programmed to protect John. They are being pursued by a Terminator sent back through time to assassinate John (Cromartie) and FBI Agent James Ellison, who believes Sarah is a deranged criminal (based on the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day). Sarah is romantically involved with an EMT named Charley Dixon, but ends her relationship with him to stay on the run.
During the pilot, Sarah, John, and Cameron make a temporal leap to the year 2007. Cromartie suffers extensive damage while trying to kill them, but his head follows them through time, repairs his endoskeleton and artificial flesh, and continues his search for John.
Seeing how John is frustrated with their life of running, Sarah resolves to go on the offensive against Skynet. But the world in 2007 proves complex: they find Skynet has sent additional Terminators back in time to support its own creation, and the resistance movement has sent back its own fighters to interfere.
As they seek out an intuitive chess computer called The Turk, which may be a precursor to Skynet, they forge an alliance with Derek Reese, resistance fighter and uncle to John.
The first season ended with a bang when a jeep that Cameron got into exploded in an apparent attack on the Connors. There has been spoilers that she survived the blast but was damaged and even goes as far as to attack both Sarah and John in the first couple of episodes of season two. Should be exciting to get a full season this time around thanks to last season being cut short by the writers strike.
Two others shows that I am looking forward to are "HEROES" and the revival of that 90's teenage sensation franchise "90210". It will be interesting to see where Heroes goes with the "Third Chapter" being entitled "Villains". I do know that we will see Sylar back doing what he does best and we'll finally get to see exactly who assassinated Nathan Petrelli at the end of the previous season.
90210 should be interesting as well since they are attempting to make it much better than its predecessor with some familiar faces returning to help give the new version a tie to the past. It starts this coming Tuesday, September 9 at 8PM with a two-hour premiere.
Other returning shows I can't wait to see are Survivor and Lost, which return on September 25th and sometime in January 2009.
Lots to see coming up in the next 8-9 months...
