Spot on about SCC's under use of Cameron. Even if they can't afford big action scenes there was a recent run of three episodes where Summer hardly featured at all! How can you have Summer Glau under contract and being paid and then not use her?

It's interesting you write that. With all the media attention Summer has been getting, it feels like she's the lead rather than the side-kick. These days I'm writing typos like "Terminator: The Summer Glau Chronicles".

Ooh, Tara is on the list. I love Tara! And I love Lafayette -- there's an actor who took a part and ran with it.

I wonder if there are any show runners out there just waiting for TSCC to be canceled so they can offer lead roles to Summer.

She WAS hardly featured at all. The most she was getting was one liners and dramatic looks. Even without the big budget fights, some of Summer Glau's best episodes were her just getting the chance to interact and really explore Cameron, I wish she'd gotten more of that ... especially if we're about to lose the show.

"no money and one foot in the grave". That could describe me too. :)

Maybe Lena Hedley complained and demanded that Cameron's screen time be reduced?

That makes two of us Madmolly.
