I met Summer at our annual Dragon*Con convention in Atlanta last year, she is quite cute and very friendly. I think she's doing a great job on the show.

There are some things about the show that need commenting on, all my opinions:

1) Although the idea of a sexy, tiny little teenage female model has kick-ass strong female "titillation" opportunities for the TV show, in all practicality wouldn't you really want a more massive male version as your protector? Just from a sheer power standpoint, due to the increased mass and heavier-duty capabilities that a larger model would imply, and I can't see SkyNet sending back little tiny sexy teen terminators to off John. And I just can't see Cameron being able to rip a bank vault door apart in any believable way.

2) We have seen that Cameron can heal, I wondered about this, since the prior Terminator movies used the battle damage makeup to great advantage. I don't suppose it would have been practical to have Cameron just get more beaten up from episode to episode. Of course she has managed to survive long enough to have time to heal, and it can't be assumed that the Arnold models couldn't, since they never really had time to heal.

3) The show has had some great lines. "I call shotgun." "I call 9 millimeter." And so forth.

4) At some point Sarah needs to lighten up on Cameron. I think she has been just plain mean to her, and she needs to realize that Cameron is there to help. She's not the enemy.
