"Better put those back in the holster"

(or something like that) - money quote from the series premiere of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Ahnold is replaced by Summer Glau who looks better, fights better, and can do the android expressionless look just like Sarah Michelle Geller. Her performance is reminiscent of River Tam laying out the entire clientele of a bar on Persephone or some other Alliance planet in Serenity but without the subliminal triggers.

I enjoyed that scene, as well. Too bad the rest of the show didn't live up to it. Seems too much of a one-trick pony to sustain a series.

I'm looking forward to part 2 tonight.

i'm waiting for part 2 before I make up my mind. I do love Summer Glau as the "good" robot....

Thanks to where I live and my sat company, I will have to wait for the series on DVD. Just as well: I'd have had to get a bunch of channels I don't want - all that MSM crap - and wait 30 days to get FOX. Not worth it.
