Summer Glau: TV Guide News

Episode recap: "Allison from Palmdale" | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | 9/30/2008
Flashbacks/forwards to the Skynet future are juxtaposed with Cameron's present-day experiences in this episode. These 'flashes' (for the lack of a better term considering the whole time/space continuum) seem to be triggered when Cameron is sent out grocery shopping by John. The flashes detail how the Cameron cyborg was created – the original template for Cameron was a resistance member named, Allison Young. The yet to be named Cameron was trying to learn as much about Allison as possible so that she would end up being a perfect copy; then, doing what Terminators do best, she would attempt to infiltrate the resistance and eliminate John Connor. Cameron goes Vader on the girl, then kills her after Allison lies about the bracelet she is wearing. The bracelets are the resistance's way of identifying each other from the cyborgs and now... Skynet knows.As stated above, the episode flashes (ala Lost) to present day. Cameron is suffering from amnesia and assumes the name of her mold:... read more
Episode Recap: "The Mousetrap" | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | 9/23/2008
As the Dixons make their way out of the danger zone that is Los Angles, the danger tracks them down: Cromartie kidnaps Michelle from a gas station. After a quick white lie to John, Charley contacts Sarah to ask for her help in rescuing his wife. Continuing to keep John in the dark for his protection, Sarah and Derek venture out. They find Charley and eventually find Michelle (via her cell phone call). Cromartie's been a busy lil... large cyborg. Apparently, the chair Michelle is bound to is rigged to a bomb; however the cyborg is no where to be found. Sarah correctly deduces that the bomb is a fake. What isn't a ruse is the explosive attached to the cell phone tower outside the building. Cromartie has been monitoring their cell phone communications with John via this system. Once he has the info he needs, the cyborg drives off but not before he triggers the second bomb causing the pole to crash into the building. The damage has two results: Sarah's cell phone has no signal (she... read more
Episode recap: "Automatic for the People" | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | 9/16/2008
This week's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles blog will be extremely abbreviated because of the Monday Night Football game that I'm watching while imbibing a few beers (why couldn't the Philadelphia Eagles play during a repeat?). Hope there aren't many typos -haha! Next week's blog will be in my standard format.Sarah decides that the 'sanctuary' thing isn't working out, so she finds a house to rent (I predict that this house will be destroyed by the end of the season). My prediction almost becomes a reality as yet another time traveler “sent from the future by John” (man, I hate exposition for the newbies -check out the way 'crapped out' is explained) jumps through a window and dies, but not before warning them of the danger at a nuclear power plant. Sarah and Cameron get jobs at the plant so they can investigate Carl Greenway (OMG! It's Ryan Chappelle! Shame what happened to him! Why, Jack, why?), an official at the facility. They discover that if Greenway's... read more
Episode Recap: "Samson and Delilah" | Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles | 9/9/2008
“We have to kill her, John”-Sarah Connor Picking up exactly where the season one finale left off, Cameron's Jeep 'splodes via a car bomb planted by Sarkissian and his man, who overpower Sarah and John in their attempt to find the missing hard drive. Cameron reactivates herself and seemingly comes to the Connor's rescue; however, Sarkissian is already 'deceased' when she enters the room. All is not well as Cameron draws her weapon on John -she is about to terminate him (b/c of damage to her CPU)! An explosion gives Sarah and John enough of a delay to escape Cameron. They jump out the second story window, are injured and escape via a stolen mini-van, which Sarah ends up crashing. The wounded pair hobble off until they seek sanctuary in a local church.Also picking up from the previous episode are Agent Ellison, Cromartie and the aftermath of the FBI massacre at the apartment complex. After this experience, apparently Ellison now believes Sarah (well..derr). Charley Dixon... read more
VIDEO: Summer Glau Promises a "Bigger" Terminator | Today's News: Our Take | 9/8/2008
To hear Summer Glau tell it, seeing Cameron get blown up in the Season 1 finale of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles never had her worrying about paying the next month's rent."I had an idea of what was going to happen in the next episode," she told me here on the set of the Fox series, "so I wasn't too upset about it." But as the cast grows and important characters become somewhat expendable — a major death is promised in the first few episodes of the new season — she allows, "I have a healthy respect for being on the show!"All told, Glau says T:SCC is "bigger" now that it's back (tonight at 8 pm/ET), saying, "I'm very proud of the work we've done so far."Also in this video: Glau reveals how she stays "really fit" for her role (at the 2:00 mark), shares her admiration for Lena Headey (2:40), and talks of getting teased by her boyfriend (3:50). — Matt MitovichRelated:• On the Set VIDEO: Thomas Dekker Warns, "No One Can Be Trusted"• Lena Headey VIDEO:... read more
