OK, call us sci-fi geeks, but we're in love with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. We're also in love with Thomas Dekker, the star of the show! You probs know him from Heroes, but he's since been upgraded to the role of John Connor, future leader in the war against the machines. Here's the skinny on the show: in 2011, a man-made computer, Skynet, will become self-aware and wages war on humans. The Sarah Connor Chronicles is all about John, and his kick-butt mom (Lena Heady), uncle (Brian Austin Green), and friend (Summer Glau) working to make sure that version of the future never happens. The only prob is that Skynet keeps sending Terminators back to the present to stop them!

Confused? Tune into FOX this Sunday at 9 p.m. to watch the first eppy! And keep reading for our chat with Thomas…
