Despite my lackluster viewing experience with The Sarah Connor Chronicles, one bright spots remains: Summer Glau. Tough female characters are irresistible, and Summer plays them well. (See also: Serenity.)
Yet whenever I hear her name, I don't think of the elfin beauty or the kick-@$$ karate moves...I think of that damn 70's song from Seals and Crofts called "Summer Breeze". So, to hopefully purge me of this bizarre association, I offer this:
Summer Glau (Makes Me Feel Fine)
(Sung to the tune of "Summer Breeze" by Seals and Crofts)
See the girl all curled up in the cryo
Not a stitch of clothing found in sight
Mal is ticked off wond'rin' 'bout the Doctor
I don't care, I'm feeling alright
CHORUS
Summer Glau, makes me feel fine
I can't shake her image from my mind
Summer Glau, makes me feel fine
I can't shake her image from my mind
See the tree branch lying on the cold deck
She picks it up, maybe thinks it's fun
Snap us back to now, see the worried crew
Don't look now but River's got a gun
[CHORUS]
Followed by agents, their hands painted blue
They have no idea just what she can do
'Cause when she sees what's playing on TV
Fruity Oaty Bars, now it's time to kick @$$
See the angel punching and a kickin'
Not really sure what she could do
She's a weapon, a source of destruction
She's a vital part of Malcolm's crew
[CHORUS]

Summer make me feel fine too. Very unique and talented girl. Hell every woman on that Firefly crew does, especially Morena Baccarin.

Yeah, I had a bunch of problems with the pilot, but Summer was not one of the problems.
I could almost watch the show just for her - and rationalize in the back of my mind that I'm giving the show a chance to get better...

O.K., now I've got the feeling that the site has jumped the shark...

Nah, we jumped the shark with that Tiptree review.

Okay my previous attempt was intercepted by aliens (and I know where they are!!!!)... But we only jump sharks that are on FIRE!!!! Fire I say... (puts on his Evel Knievel outfit)

Oh, wait until I get a hold of the "mundane SF" anthology.

That's just hilarious.
BTW, I liked the pilot... of Sarah Connor Chronicles that is.
