TERMINATOR 4:
We were wondering who “Kate Connor” was…
from Wikipedia’s T3 page:
“…a reprogrammed Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), identical to the Terminators from the previous films, has been sent back in time to protect Connor and [b]his future wife, Katherine[/b] Brewster (Claire Danes). In a plot twist, this particular Terminator killed John Connor in 2032, before being reprogrammed and sent back in time by Connor’s wife…”
So, pretty obvious. That’s -10 geek points for us

ALSO- a mistake I made in the podcast- turns out the original Doctor Who WAS cancelled due to poor ratings. But it was still awesome!!!
I thought I made a mistake about Lon Chaney, who I said was famous for portraying the Hunchback of Notre Dame- he was more famous for playing the Phantom of the Opera and the vampire in London After Midnight and Dr. Jeckyl and Mister Hyde. The more famous Hunchback was Charles Laughton, but I checked and Chaney played Quasimoto too, before Laughton.
Sidenote- everyone should see Charles Laughton’s “Hunchback”. It’s an amazingly great movie.

Holy #!*$, Batman,
Shirley Manson of Garbage is joining the cast of the Sarah Conner Chronicles next season! Shirley Manson, Summer Glau and Lena Headey -a trifecta of sheer hotness.

Hey Steph my kids will watch Star Trek. They just don’t like it when Klingons come on. They’re scary!
