She’s off air for now, but she’ll be back. (Sorry, had to use the “I’ll be back” line somehow.)
In one recent interview, Summer Glau (Cameron on “Terminator“) told Canada.com that she’s wanted to do a Western or period film since she was a child, and that she’s still in touch with all the "Firefly" people. Glau is also featured in the April 2008 issue of Vanity Fair; you can find a scan of her page with a short profile over at summer-glau.net.

I mentioned yesterday that I really hope that "Terminator" gets a second season because I want to see Cameron (Summer Glau) go to the prom, but io9 is even more into the whole robosexual thing than I am. To be honest, I’m beginning to think that robot love is the sci-fi theme of the moment. Maybe it reveals a widespread cultural anxiety about technology, and maybe it’s just that robots are kind of sexy, I’m not sure. But bear with me here.

First we had the "Battlestar Galactica" Cylons and their spines glowing during hot Cylon sex (left). It’s inspired a lot of jokes, but they’re still drawing attention to the question of where to draw the line between where’s the line between humans and technology.
And now there’s John Connor developing and unwholesome attachment to Cameron. Is a tame Terminator more trustworthy than a wild human? Will his distrust of humans […]

Last night’s "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" was a triumph, from Cameron the "good" terminator learning to smile and make idle conversation all the way through to the Johnny Cash song over the final minutes. And it left me wanting more: Will they catch the Armenian gangster who bought the Turk? Will they ever stop Cromartie, now that Agent Ellison and Sarah’s ex know that he’s a terminator and Sarah is right? What will happen to the girl who is the sole survivor of the Latino gang that sold Sarah the fake IDs? How hilarious will it be if Cameron goes to the prom?
We may or may not find out: Last week, Sci-Fi blog Io9 interviewed exec producer Josh Friedman, who says the show has a good chance of getting a second season, but it’s not a guarantee. Want to boost the ratings and/or find out what happened? Watch the […]

"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" is the latest piece of the massive and well-loved Terminator franchise. Plenty is familiar in the new show - there are guns and monotone bad guys and the Connors themselves - but plenty is new as well. One of the new additions to the storyline is Derek Reese, brother of Kyle Reese (that’s John’s father from the future, if you’re not up on your Terminator mythology), played by Brian Austin Green - yeah, that guy from "Beverly Hills 90210." (Left, Green with Thomas Dekker as John.)
"The Sarah Connor Chronicles" will rap up its first season with a bang this coming Monday. The season will conclude with a two-hour finale airing on Fox at 8pm. This week, Brian Austin Green and head writer Josh Friedman sat down with journalists to discuss the show and what’s coming next.
The big question on everyone’s mind is whether the […]

"Lost" leads the TV nominations for the Saturn Awards from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy And Horror Films. Best Network Series nominees are: "Heroes," "Journeyman," "Lost," "Pushing Daisies," "Supernatural" and "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." "Journeyman"? Really? (TV Addict)

Fox now has the highest average network rating for the season. Yikes. (AP)

"Jericho" and "Big Brother" both had really bad weeks for CBS. (tvbythenumbers.com)

There was some fun dialog in this week’s "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" - John saying "I call shotgun" and Cameron replying "I call 9mm," but the best moment was totally silent. It’s the moment when Cameron manages to kill the T88, and then looks somehow troubled by killing it. After all her murderous failure to understand human death and empathy, she finally gets it when she kills one of her own.

Will Arnett has been dropped as the voice of Kitt in "Knight Rider," says IESB. Apparently the acting job - as the voice of a Ford - conflicted with a contract he signed to do voiceovers on ads for GMC trucks, and so now all the dialog has to be redone by someone else. Fortunately for fans, it’s someone good: Val Kilmer.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the sci-fi spectrum, The TV Addict has spoilers and stills from next week’s "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," including Brian Austin Green with a big freaking gun.

I knew the conference call with Summer Glau of Fox’s "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" was going to draw a lot of sci-fi adepts who would ask her about "Terminator" mythology and her role as the cyborg Cameron. So I took an early turned and asked her about the poster. Seen here on the left, it was the most talked-about promotional image of the entire season. What was it like, I asked her, to see yourself  up there on the wall with wires coming out…
She laughed in a way that made clear it was an experience.
"I remember when we were on set and James Middleton, who’s one of our
producers, was describing this concept for me about this awesome
poster, and I was going to be naked, and I wasn’t going to have any legs,
and my guts were going to be hanging out, and I was trying to act
excited, but I was […]
