So we’re really liking the new Sarah Connor Chronicles, right? I know I am. It begs the question: Who makes the better Terminator?
Summer Glau has an edge because she already has a special spot in the hearts of sci-fi fanboys all over the world because of her role as River Tam in Firefly and Serenity. I mean, who doesn’t love the final fight scene in Serenity? And in Sarah Connor Chronicles you got to see her in her bra and panties (LOL! “panties”) and she even kicked guys’ asses butt naked! I just hope they don’t overdo her clueless robot act. The “tight” gift bit was still funny this past episode, but I’m not sure how much longer they can pull it off while still being believable. (As believable a show about time traveling robots can be.)
But Kristanna Loken was so cool and badass in Terminator 3 without having to resort to being overly sexy à la Halle Berry’s skimpy Catwoman suit. I really like her too. She just seems really well spoken and composed in interviews I’ve seen with her, but still down to earth. I was hoping her career was going to take off after Terminator 3 (I’m sure she was too) but some schmuck introduced her to Uwe Boll. I even stuck with Painkiller Jane (which had its moments) for a while, but that wasn’t very good either. I hear she’s pretty good in The L Word though.
But neither of them have guns that shoot out of their tits. So I guess they both suck.
I kid, I kid. I love them both. Don’t make me choose.
Watch them both in action after the jump:

I personally love Summer Glau. I was upset that when “Firefly” went off the air that we may not see her doing some kick ass fighting again. For me I am more excited that they are going to flesh out the story. That was one of the things I missed in the movies. I did enjoy everything being blown to hell but I would have liked more story. I like more story in all my movies… well except porn.

Kristanna Loken for sure. She came to Earth in a disco ball. Did Summer Glau come to Earth in a disco ball? No, I don’t think so.

Cam & I are watching this (yes! the tv is on something other than Cartoon Network!) and we also noticed her character’s dumbing down after the pilot episode. She fit right in during their first meeting. What the hell happened?
Anyway, we’re enjoying it regardless.

Eh, I didn’t even bother watching Terminator 3, and considering that the show is completely forgetting it, I think I shall, too. Now, when they make the fourth one with Christian Bale, I’m there on the first day!
I’m all for Summer, too.
And no big shock that Loken is good on The L Word..she has *ahem* experience

It looks like Terminator : TSCC is on life support. So prepare to be heart broken again with the loss of Summer, Sci-Fi fans.

I haven’t seen either the movie or the show, but I think the disco ball is the trump card, hands-down.

Craig I love Summer Glau, just got the Serenity collectors edition dvd and they show how the government drove her crazy, awesome…As for TTSCC it’s a great show..GO GO GADGET CYBORGS! but Antonio, you’re right Fox will probably yank it and for 24….oh wait, there won’t be any 24 this year from the looks of things so I don’t think we have anything to worry about . Having a scripted series with multiple episodes still unaired is a gift for them.
Craig chk out http://doorq.com/ it’s for gay sci-fi fans if you haven’t already I totally love it and of course io9.
