Terminator Evolution - From Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger To Hottie Summer Glau

The terminator series started with now-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger leading the rage, he wasn't even American then I think but he did get the cyborg thing down so that panned down okay. Terminator was a major box office hit. Not only was it teemed with amazing gadgets and state-of-the-art robotic features, it also boasted of an original story-line of a robot from the future sent to destroy and later protect a child who was to become the pivotal character in shaping the world's destiny.
Looking back on it now makes me feel nostalgic at the same time sad. Today there are so many stories alike it's hard to find anything as original. Back then, it was so novel you'd understand why they're still trying to revive "Terminator" again and again.
But now that the story is no longer original, "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" follows the story of Sarah, played by Lena Headey, and son John, played by Thomas Dekker, after they decide to stop running from a destructive race of evil machines from the future and fight back against them. Cameron (played by Summer Glau), who herself is a robot, acts as a guardian to John so that he might one day fulfill his prophecy as the savior of mankind. This story stems from the old series - what they've found that's original is hot new terminator in the person of Summer Glau. This is a good thing too.
Although Arnold Schwarzenegger is iconic as the terminator and no one can ever debate that he made the franchise as profitable as it is now, but suffice it to say - recreating another ala Arnold Schwarzenegger personality would have been very difficult.
With female empowerment all over the news, and men would are quite open to see hot girls kick butt, the new terminator I think has grown her own following. I saw that there was even a poll to compare Arnold Schwarzenegger and Summer Glau to see who was the better terminator! I vote Summer hands down, way hotter!

Previously, Glau has appeared in other sci-fi roles such as River Tam on USA's "Firefly" and Tess Doerner on "The 4400."
She used to be a tango dancer if you could believe that, and got hurt so she had to take odd jobs so ended up in the acting business! Good for us!

TV Series "24" Cancelled Due To Writers Strike. "Lost" Still On Air
Fox on Wednesday became the first broadcast network to announce a strike-affected mid-season schedule minus its signature drama "24" according to a Hollywood Reporter article.
Faced with the possibility of a partial Season 7 of "24," Fox has opted not to air the real-time drama at all this season. "It's not a decision we wanted to make, but it's one based on how we feel the viewers expect us to schedule the show," said Preston Beckman, Fox's scheduling chief.
The decision to act quickly so early in the strike also was prompted by the large amounts of marketing money associated with the premieres of new series and the annual launch of "24." The network began airing promos for the upcoming season of "24" during the World Series and on a big screen in Times Square.
For now, ABC is still sticking to its plan to air heavily serialized "Lost" in midseason, running the eight produced episodes, 10 short of the 18-episode order.
Fox's high-profile new drama "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," originally slated to run in tandem with "24," will now premiere Sunday, Jan. 13, and will air in "24's" Monday 9 p.m. time slot, following "Prison Break" and new reality series "When Women Ruled the World."
Fueled by "American Idol," which will launch with a two-night, four-hour premiere Jan. 15-16, and helped buy the fact it only programs 15 hours a week, Fox has been considered the best equipped to handle a long writers strike.
Other developments related to the writer strike:
- NBC's "The Office" officially shut down production Wednesday after its star Steve Carell and several other cast members refused to cross the picket line Monday and Tuesday, effectively bringing filming of the hit comedy to a halt. Several "Office" writers, including showrunner Greg Daniels, posted a video shot on the picket line on YouTube.
- With the exception of "Scrubs," which is slated to film for awhile, all comedy series still in production are slated to wrap shooting their available scripts by early next week, followed by dramas, which will go on hiatus by the end of the month, laying off thousands of crew members.
