Sci-Fi wire recently spoke with Lena Headey, who will play Sarah Connor in the upcoming Sci-Fi series The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a spinoff of the Terminator movies, and confirmed that Firefly’s Summer Glau will be a Terminator.
Discuss. :)
I’ll try watching it. But I’ve got reservations about anyone being as cool as Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor.

River?
As a terminator….
Didn’t they do that movie…no wait..that was eve of descturction….nvm
Hehe. I’m not really as interested in seeing what Glau’s doing – I’d rather get news of Jewel Staite. Mmm Kaylee.
Preach on, brother!
Ayep. Geeky girls make me swoon far more than crazy ones.
Jewel Staite is now on Star Gate Atlantis. Err, the episodes may not have aired in the USA yet, but she’s there. Contracted for 8-10 episodes, I think.

Eh…
Unimaginative casting. Someone saw Firefly and said “Wow! She can be a totally kick-ass chick AND look completely disinterested! She can *SO* be a Terminator!” (Varying amounts of marijuana and/or alcohol can be assumed to be in said person’s system at the time of utterance).
I still don’t think I’ve seen T3, probably won’t see these, but, well… Summer is a good dancer, if it’s not too heavily CG’d I wouldn’t be adverse to seeing her show off her gymnastic gyrations.
Re: Eh…
don’t bother seeing t3. if you’re any kind of a terminator fan, don’t waste your time. it was horrible. just my humble opinion :)
(i was a huge, HUGE fan of t2. i have the “script book” somewhere. of course, it didn’t help that i had a massive crush on edward furlong either ;)

I have to second the “unimaginative casting.” Besides the fact that it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Then again, before I launch into rant-a-thon mode, I will admit that I generally dislike series made from movies, since they tend to F* with the original story in ways that do not improve the overall experience. Anywa, that said, onward!
Given the time within the historical arc they’re most likely working in. i.e., when Sarah Connor is still alive and John is young, the reason that Arnold played the original Terminator (besides the fact that he was a hot action commodity at the time,) is it had to be someone big. The point was that there was a whole lot of machinery goin’ on, you needed someone who could convey it, without having to rely solely on CGI. I guess I’d much rather see terminators, at the least the *early* terminators, played the same way. Big guys with at least vacant, at best menacing, expressions. Like the guy from “So you wanna be a superhero?” or any one of a number of wrestlers. Oh, and easy on the eyes is optional, but it can’t hurt ;) For Jason Statham, I’d be tuned in every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Unless they’re planning on running the concept of the ‘evolved’ terminator, a la Robert Patrick (?) into the ground. At which point, one has to ask, if John Connor is such a bazooka in the terminators’ nigh-indestructable sides, how come they have the time and resources to keep developing newer models? Unless John Connor isn’t the problem he’s cracked up to be, in which case you have no show.
Maybe they’re planning on focusing on all the guerilla warfare and survivalist stuff Sarah was doing between T1 and T2 and not doing that much with Terminators at all?
Maybe they’ll just pull anakins “whoops! I destroyed a bad guy and didn’t even know it!”
;)
