B.A.G. Talks Sarah Connor Season 2

Heads up, resistance fighters, because the uncle of the savior of all mankind has spoken to TV Guide about the upcoming Season 2 of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. He has a lot to say, but unfortunately, not a whole lot of it could really be considered SPOILERS, unless you think the lack of potential for a Sarah Connor-Derek Reese sexual relationship is a spoiler. Continue on to read highlighted excerpts from the interview that doesn’t include Brian Austin Green’s relationship with Megan Fox, which the interviewer kept trying to insert into the piece. I thought this was about the show, not some celebrity gossip, but oh well.

Read the rest of the interview at TV Guide.

TV Guide: It’s been a while since the first season aired. Can you remind us about your character, Derek Reese, the man from the future who’s now working with Sarah (Lena Headey) and John Connor (Thomas Dekker)?

Brian Austin Green: Derek is very simple, very programmed. He’s much like [Terminator] Cameron [Summer Glau], trying to learn how to be human, because he was forced to lose that. He lost everybody — friends — constantly. And he was just at odds and at war with everyone.

TV Guide: How’s the whole stop-evil-corporation-Skynet-and-save-the-world thing going?

Green: This season it’s all mission: We’re trying to stop Judgment Day. We’re finding different people involved with the technology companies and figuring out what steps we have to take to change things. It’s not like you kill the Terminator and then there’s no Judgment Day. Terminators are being sent back constantly. You never know how many there are with very specific missions.

TV Guide: How did you prepare to play Derek?

Green: I auditioned on a Thursday and started work on Friday, so I had no idea what was happening in the story. But I put myself in Derek’s place. I went to dinner and spent the entire time imagining what it would be like to live in a world where these cyborgs exist. You start watching people…. [Points to a waiter] Like that guy’s walk seems a bit robotic. I stayed in that for the first two weeks, 24 hours a day. I isolated myself on set.

TV Guide: Did that affect your chemistry with Lena Headey?

Green: Lena always had that sense of, “I don’t know just who you are.” She’d say, “Yeah, I don’t know if I trust you, looking into your eyes.” I love Lena, though.

TV Guide: Will there be romance between Derek and Sarah?

Green: I don’t think that’s happening anytime soon.

TV Guide: What is their relationship, then?

Green: Derek is somebody she can trust to get the job done. Sarah runs the show. We disagree on things, and we have our arguments and our little issues — but she’s the mother of the savior of all mankind, so…

TV Guide: Do you pummel a Terminator in the season premiere?

Green: I have some good gun-firing coming up soon. Sniper rifles and stuff like that. The first episode is badass! I can’t give away any of it. Whatever fans are hoping will happen, magnify that by a thousand.

Not much there, but he does sound definite that there won’t be a sexual relationship between Sarah Connor and Derek Reese, which is the way it should be. Can you imagine how creepy it would be if they did hook up? Yikes.
