Five Reasons to Love Summer Glau

Summer Glau is currently playing the so-called terminatrix in the new series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and she is, in a word, awesome. Here is why:

1. Her character, Cameron, is basically a hotter (and female-r) version of Data from Star Trek, which Glau absolutely has the chops to bring off.

2. Her presence on my TV screen makes it marginally easier to bear the fact that Firefly is still, tragically, cancelled.

3. As a classically trained ballerina, she actually does all of her own fight scenes, including those crazy high overhead kicks.

4. She can go from bot to bad ass in 2.5 seconds. In heels.

5. And, finally, she doesn't seem to harbor any ambitions towards running my state.
