The Future You're Fighting For: If and when season three does get a green light, Fox already has a sense of what it's getting. Josh says, "I haven't pitched a season three yet, but near the end of season two, I had a conversation with the network about season three just because they needed to understand the radical change in direction we had gone through in the finale. So they've know for a while some of my ideas for season three."

Other Venues? And what if season three doesn't happen? Could it go to another network? Says Josh, "It's not an expensive show. It's very average in terms of its costs, but it's more expensive than all cable shows. There are limited places for a show like this, I think." What about a comic? Josh says, "Everyone wants to plan for success and hope that it works out that way, and then if it doesn't, we'll see what happens."

Shhh...It's a Secret: Either way, there will be no spilling of secrets about Terminator's third season...yet. "I think the finale speaks for itself. It's very clear what season three is from watching the finale," says Josh. (He's kidding. I think.)

Still, there'll be nothing but radio silence on storylines from team Terminator for the foreseeable future. Says Josh, "I just sent an email out to all the other writers, and I said that, probably, in the weeks ahead, many people will ask you either online or in interviews to talk about season three or 'Can you explain certain things from the season two finale?' I asked all the writers to just cordially not. I kind of feel like if we have a season three, people will see it, and if we don't have a season three, I like people using their own imagination to see where it goes. And if we don't have it, for me to kind of put my foot down—this is what this is and this is what that is—shuts down everyone else's imagination. I think in a situation like this, it's nice to let people kind of create their own fan fiction going forward."

Will you guys be satisfied with fan fiction, or do you want the real thing? Post in the comments, Terminator fans!
