If there's one thing that can distract from recent crappiness, it's the new Fall TV season. Tonight the new season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles starts. Last season was OK, but I wasn't really planning on watching this one. That is, until I heard who was joining the cast.Shirley fucking Manson! I fell in love with her the moment I first saw the video for Garbage's Queer way back in 1995. She's got that little bit of ugliness that actually enhances her beautifulness, and that heartbreaking singing voice with just a hint of Scottish accent. Ahhhh. I didn't know she could act too; maybe she can't, but I'll be tuning in (*) to find out.
The show also has the always-awesome and sometimes-attractive Summer Glau in it.
And yeah, I know, for a busy grad student, I watch too much TV. But must I remind you that part of my research is studying reactions to media like TV and movies? It's all for science.
(*)I like how "tuning in" is still used even though television hasn't required tuning of any kind in decades.

Correction: It premiered last week but I missed it. If only the technology was available to somehow get, like, a torrent of the bits that make up the show, so I can catch up and continue to watch it.

I always loved Shirley Manson, even more for her history of cutting and depression, and having to overcome it. Plus her music rocked... :)
Actually, she even did a dommy cameo in the music video "These Things" by She Wants Revenge.
I loved it, and I'm sure she provided her own outfits for it.
I thought it premiered last week. Well in that case, I won't ruin what character she is.
Garbage will always be awesome. Brings back the good memories of High School, which were few and far between.
mmm must get cable.
Von: I totally Youtubed that video. HOT. She could poke me with her high heels any time.
Harry: Yeah you're right, I completely missed it last week. And I'm Only Happy When it Rains, like, sums up high school for me.
Jenn: Dooo it. TV is so much better than having a life. :)
I love TV.
ok, i have to admit here that i'm old(er) and there is no cure for it.
so, I won't 'get' Terminator.
I only watch the first 5 minutes of CSI: Miami so i can hear what Horatio has to say just before the screaming Intro. ("Frank. This one is truly dead."
However, I think Summer Glau is ON.
cheers,
