…Sarah Connor Chronicles.

"In the world of Terminator, a couple different Judgment Days have come and gone. First, it was August 29th, 1997. Then, thanks to the efforts of the hardest woman of all time and mother of the Resistance, Sarah Connor, it was bumped up to July 25th, 2004. In theory, the events of that date were never prevented, and Skynet went live¡ªlaunching all the nukes and nearly destroying humanity. However, that was all in the cinematic universe, and TV gets to make its own rules¡ªa fortunate turn of events that has given us Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Terminator: TSCC is a nice bite-size binge-watching experience if you need a palate cleanser before immersing in something like, say, all of Doctor Who. It gives us the classic Connor pairing of Sarah (Lena Headey) and John (Thomas Dekker), and this time they¡¯re alive and mostly well, but living in the year 2007, which means the second projected J-Day event didn¡¯t go down. (Phew¡ªgotta love a good stay of mass execution!) And who¡¯s stepping in to fill the role of supreme guardian left vacant by a molten metal T-800? A bloodless death dealer masked as a slight-of-build brunette named Cameron (Summer Glau). It¡¯s an unconventional family unit, but hell, this is the 21st century and the new normal can be anything we want it to be.

In this universe Judgment Day is pegged for April 21st, 2011, which means this trio has four years to stop Skynet from going online and getting super Bleeped texted off at everything with a human DNA signature. You want action? TSCC has it. You want situational comedy? Cameron¡¯s uncomfortable attempts to be ¡°more human¡± will bring the LoLs. You want to see 90210¡äs David Silver (aka Brian Austin Green) as metal-hunting future soldier Derek Reese? Look no further, because these Chronicles are waiting to make all those dreams come true. All it takes is a moderately paced two-week investment of your time. And we think that¡¯s a pretty small price to pay to watch someone save the world…"

She has been on Arrow and it looks like she will be in another series called Sequestered and Peter Panzerfaust?

Summer Glau is very, very anorexic.

I really enjoyed Terminator: TSCC. Had a few enjoyable twists and turns, and ended on one heck of a cliff-hanger.
