The Summer Glau Appreciation Society

[blackwind]

Awful picture, but here's something interesting. Lanced mole? Or a year's salary worth of coverup?

[NemesisDesign]

lol, if she's doing it to save her career I think she's about a year or 2 late. Either way, I am disappointed a bit if she got it lanced, whatever that is. The whole point of her being as hot as she is is that she's a bit off, a bit different.

[blackwind]

Depending on the motivation behind it, I could go either way on this one. If it was done for vanity and is but a taste of procedures to come (which, based on the persona she puts forth, seems unlikely), my opinion of her is about to drop through the floor; if it was done for her career (which, unless she plans on throwing a new pair of funbags on top of that, seems futile and, therefore, equally unlikely), I'd sooner continue to wait patiently; if it was done for health reasons (which would be my guess), hey, better she not develop cancer and die on us. But we'll probably never know for certain. What I *do* know is that, physically, that thing wasn't doing her any favors, and if it is, indeed, gone for good, I, for one, won't miss it. It's not the mini-turd on her brow that makes this girl unique.

[NemesisDesign]

Yeah I guess that's a pretty good point. It was just weird/kinda nice to see someone actually get somewhat famous these days that didn't have a completely pristine face like everyone else in the spotlight. Her weird mouth (best way I can describe it in ASCII would be :\/) is probably the odd thing about her I found most attractive.

If she somehow corrects that, gets ANY sort of breast augmentation or any other kind of facial surgery that isn't a result of being mauled by a wild chimip, I'm unsubscribing to this thread and trashing all my Glau-related files.

I guess. But then, it's been 'shopped out or covered up with hair and/or makeup in virtually every show, film, and non-candid photo she's ever appeared in (with TSCC being the notable exception), so that's kinda moot. Gotta give the public what they want, right?

Pacman? Pictorial explanation needed, methinks.

Strongly agree, as much as it pains me to even consider.

[NemesisDesign]

Didn't feel like dredging up old memories by going through tons of TSCC footage for a good shot so I found the first instance I could. Her mouth kinda goes sideways (always left side) on some words. It's like someone hooked her cheek with a fishing hook and yanks on the line momentarily.

[blackwind]

Ah, interesting. Hadn't noticed that before. That's... tight.

Summer Glau moves to 'The Cape'

And it's not even a cop or medical drama. Big ups to my main man, Jesus!

[NemesisDesign]

NBC's superhero-themed drama pilot "The Cape" in a leading role.

In the pilot, directed by Simon West, a former cop (David Lyons) is set up as a criminal and becomes a masked hero, the Cape, to clear his name.


Glau will play Orwell, a cute and intrepid investigative blogger who fearlessly goes after corrupt cops and costumed bad guys.

Oh god this sounds horrible.

Sounds good to me.

[tvmanismadformad]

This show sounds awful, and it even has the NBC credit to prove it. This show really does sound like it's going to be one of the lamest shows next season. Dare I say it sounds Glauful!

Summer Glau Returns as NBC Picks-Up “The Cape”

Now I see why bw went gaga (remember when this use to mean crazy excitement) over this. Relax bw, knowing NBC even if this show has potential they will probably find a way to fuck it up somehow.

[NemesisDesign]

Summer Glau ends up on 2 quality shows, Firefly (shut up bw), TSCC, both get axed abruptly. Her comeback is a made for tv movie about some dude who fell off a boat and a low budget superhero show. Fuck TV.

It could've been worse. It could've been on FOX.

It could've been worse. She could've been on Law & Order: Los Angeles.

[tvmanismadformad]

Her role doesn't even sound that big. If you look at the article I posted she's like the last actress mentioned in the press release. Along with that, the storyline also looks pretty shitty. It looks like it should be a comedy, and since it's not, it's probably going to suck.

[NemesisDesign]

I'd seriously prefer to watch her in ANYTHING else but a superhero show. I don't know what it is about adults in the past few years where it's become everyone's secret fantasy to be a superhero but it sure is resulting in some horrible tv/film being churned out. I don't understand why Glau doesn't go find more gigs doing Sci Fi stuff like on Syfy or something like that. She's made a name for herself in the genre. Maybe her asking price is too high.

Well I'm sure it won't be that way for too long.

[NemesisDesign]

Best possible outcome: she stars in some space-themed sci-fi show comparable to BSG and I have a massive nerdgasm.

Close runner-up: She waits too long and debt catches up with her, she misses out on the "tasteful" men's mags and ends up posing for a less reputable one. Everyone wins.

[blackwind]

Best possible outcome: Summer's vaginal juices dripping down the shaft of my penis while Joss Whedon looks on from an adjacent room slowly filling with HCl.

Close runner-up: TSCC is resurrected, surpasses Law & Order and Gunsmoke to become the longest-running drama of all-time.

Close runner-up to the runner-up: Summer, Reiko, Abby, and Jessica Marais star in the television adaptation of Dragonlance's "Chronicles" trilogy, ratings are unparalleled by any show in broadcast history, fantasy dramas become the new cop/medical dramas.

Best realistic outcome: Summer, Reiko, and Abby star in a sitcom of some sort.

Best outcome we can possibly hope for given the current state of network television, the bankrolls of cable, and her style of acting: The Cape. Deal with it.

I just threw up in my mouth a little. If I knew what you looked like bw, I would probably upgrade this to full on barf (if you dissect that, that actually a really bad insult).

while Joss Whedon looks on from an adjacent room slowly filling with HCl.

That's the best death you could come up with. Wouldn't you want something more noticeable to him and painful so that he really suffers. Come up with your own creative death machine ala Saw. I got one idea for example. How about a machine that dissects him and destroys his organs in front of him from least important to crucial to life? The twist. It's all done through the back so it takes longer to get to the organs, and is therefore more painful, and gives him a still unobstructed view of whatever your doing to Summer at this point.

Close runner-up: TSCC is resurrected, surpasses Law & Order and Gunsmoke to become the longest-running drama of all-time.

That's right bw, you keep the faith! I would also like to say that I'm sure the day MADtv is resurrected is not that far off right now!

Best realistic outcome: Summer, Reiko, and Abby star in a sitcom of some sort.

I think I would watch that. There are very few sitcoms filled with attractive women these days.

Yeah, because it was picked up, but the premise of this show does not sound like any kind of a winning program. I give it two seasons at the most, and it will only reach that 2nd season on a mercy renewal because all of NBC's other likely to be shit programming was so much worse that they can't afford to get rid of The Cape because they can't possibly replace that many shows.
