The January convention happen to fall on the day ‘TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES’ premieres. The ‘TERMINATOR’ panel went big for LACON, ahh short ‘n sweet, delivering three of the four principle actors of the series; Summer Glau, Thomas Dekker and Richard T. Jones. Missing inexplicably missing form the panel was Sara Conner herself Lena Headey. Truth be told the crowd was really there for Summer Glau. I have noticed that in a world of one name celeraties it feels wrong to call Summer Glau by either her first or last name alone, but I digress. Summer Glau’s costars were not blind to the fact that hers were the loudest applause and jokingly started to leave the stage sensing their presence not required.
Their presence was validated during the Q&A session when Richard was asked to describe his character FBI agent James Ellison. His description was of a dedicated government agent pursuing Sarah Conner obsessively and that the obsession may eventually get personal. Thomas on the other hand was asked if Summer Glau’s android character was fully functional, he said he wasn’t sure. Summer Glau added that the series could run for 8 years and she sure hoped she was right. Thomas injected a bit of humor saying that the women attracted to him often turn out to be robots. I did get to ask Summer Glau one question pertaining to her prior career as a dancer and how it led to her acting.
I wanted to know if she still danced professionally. She said that she didn’t have time for ballet with her busy schedule but she didn’t like to excersise so she did dance to stay in shape. I followed up asking if she would would be dancing professionally in the future she gave the cryptic response “You’d have to ask Joss about that”. I can only speculate what she meant by that but the implications are intriguing.
