This Just In: Summer Glau Joins Dollhouse
• Dollhouse: For those Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles fans who are still hurt by its cancellation, you're about to jump for joy. Summer Glau is heading to Dollhouse this season, playing Bennett, a Dollhouse employee who shares a past with Echo (Eliza Dushku). Glau is recurring and joining the likes of Alexis Denisof, Jamie Bamber, Michael Hogan and Keith Carradine, who all guest star this season. Check out what former Battlestar Galactica star Tahmoh Penikett has to say about the reunion below.
• Chuck: Superman is mentoring Chuck this season! Not literally, but Brandon Routh joins the cast in a multiepisode arc as Shaw, the new leader of the Intersect project. Look for the man of steel starting in the fourth episode. Could Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) be his Lois Lane?
• 90210: Meet Gia (Rumer Willis), the young, hot lesbian who joins the Blaze Newscast team, working with Silver, Navid and Adrianna. There are also some hot pics of the boys on the beach, but like Gia, we're not that interested.
• Southland: NBC is pushing the sophomore drama back a month, now premiering Oct. 23 instead of its original date of Sept. 25. The network's excuse response is that it enables more marketing, but with Dollhouse growing into an unstoppable stunt-casting show, who'd want to go up against that premiere?
• Leverage: TNT has renewed the Robin Hood-esque show for a third season of 15 episodes, which is slated to premiere next summer. While this summer's finale airs Sept. 9, the gang returns in the winter for the second half of the season.

The Fans Have Spoken: Save Terminator!
Congratulations to our 2009 Save One Show winner, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles!
In case you don't know, Save One Show is E!'s annual opportunity for fans to determine which TV series in danger of cancellation most needs to be saved. Past winners have included Angel, One Tree Hill and Veronica Mars. This year, in true killer-cyborg fashion, Terminator kicked ass, with 53 percent of the final-round vote. Chuck was the runner-up with 25 percent (#savechuck), followed by Dollhouse with 10 percent, Life with 8 percent and Privileged with 4 percent.
What about Lost Causes We Love? With 34 percent of the vote, Kyle XY was the winner of our first-ever Lost Causes We Love competition to determine which totally canceled show should be rescued from oblivion. Our dearly departed Pushing Daisies was runner-up with 21 percent.
When the results of your 300,000 votes came in, we called up Terminator show runner and executive producer Josh Friedman with the good news, and he told us exclusively, "I think I speak for everybody who works on the show when I say thank you to the fans for their tireless work to save our show. I think it really goes to show that there's a really hard-core, emotional, passionate fan base for Terminator that is larger and more widespread than people give us credit for."
Read on for the full SOS and Lost Cause results. Plus, find out how being a Terminator boss is like being Brangelina and, most importantly, get the exclusive word from Josh about the show's future...

Terminator Cast Dishes on New Season
Tick...tick...tick...Hear that? It's the sound of the clock slooowly inching toward the new season of Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Sept 8). It's also the wicked-hot sound of the show's resident bot-beauty Summer Glau, who just took the stage at the Saturn Awards to claim the trophy for best supporting actress on television.
Terminator's cast and creator were also on hand and ponied up some dish on the new season, which they're currently shooting. Click in for the goods!
Terminator: Barring Any Vats of Liquid Metal...It'll Be Bahk
Many of you have been asking about the fate of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, so I'm happy to report that barring any apocalyptic shifts at the Fox network, Terminator is very likely to return in the fall.
Now, the official word from the network is, "No word yet regarding season two. Fox usually announces returning shows in May around upfronts." However, in addition to some scuttlebutt that came our way yesterday saying production is set to resume in mid to late June, star Thomas Dekker told me at last night's American Idol party he was feeling pretty good and is "pretty sure" the new season will happen.
According to Dekker, the producers are currently pitching second-season stories to the network.
When asked if he gets sick of people asking whether or not John and Cameron will have a romance, Dekker laughed and said he actually likes it! He thinks the idea of a human and a robot having that sort of relationship is interesting and cool and added that fans should "wait until the second season, because some really great stuff is planned—all those questions will be answered!" And yes, that's a direct quote—he was speaking as if season two were already a done deal.
Excited by the chance to spend more time with Cameron and the Connor-Reese clan? Post in Comments!

Terminator Kills in the Ratings—and a Breakout Star Is Born
You like it—you really, really like it.
That’s what we’ve gathered from the Save It or Sink Poll for Fox’s Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, which premiered last night.A whopping 70 percent of you said you want the show to stick around, while only 7.9 percent of you didn’t like it.
The public at large also turned out in droves to watch this series: It received 18 million viewers last night. That’s Lost-in-its-heyday type numbers! (And yes, the lack of competition clearly helped, but still...that’s a lot of peepers.) The second episode airs tonight on Fox (and it's even better than the first, IMHO—let me know tonight what you think of it in the Comments below), so the rest of you still have a chance to get in.By all accounts, Terminator’s breakout star of the moment appears to be the resident toaster (terminator) Summer Glau (of Firefly cult-fame), whom 60 percent of you say is your favorite series regular so far.
As luck would have it, I just grabbed some quality Q&A time with the lovely Miss Glau, and here’s what she has to say about her new kickass role...
Save It or Sink It: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Sooo...what do you guys think? I don't know about you, but I think Terminator just might be Fox's coolest new show in a very long while. Sure, there's that mushroom cloud casting a shadow over the proceedings, but even with the threat of imminent doom, Terminator manages to be pretty darn action-packed and entertaining.
I personally think tomorrow night's installment is even better, so if you're iffy after tonight, please tune in again tomorrow and give it another shot. But enough yammering from me. What do you think of this Terminator remix? A rollicking good time? A gawd-awful mess? Post your take in the Comments below!
