Jeez guys...Riley is not dead!b>

And look at the ribs on that Asian chick - ugh. Riley is way hotter. But maybe not as hot as Summer. I'm undecided.

I wish they were both dead. Riley was ok as just some crazy girl from John's school, but appearantly everyone has to be from the future.

I have a major thing for Asian girls, but Jesse is just bleh.

Yeah I didn't like the fact she came from the future, ruined her story I thought. If she was just a messed up teenager then it would of been alright.

Finale left Summer Reeling

Summer Glau, who plays the cyborg Cameron on Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, told reporters that the script for the show's season finale has left her reeling. Glau spoke in a conference call on Feb. 3.

"I just got a hold of our season finale script, and I am shocked," she said. "I am not going to give it away, but I'm excited and I'm a little bit sad, but more excited and just really proud of what [series creator] Josh [Friedman] has done."

So far, season two has offered episodes like "Allison From Palmdale," which introduced the human model who inspired Cameron's creation in the future. In the episode "Complications," Cameron revealed that she has a form of feelings, at least to the extent that it means something to hang her foot out the car window.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles returns for the back nine episodes Feb. 13, in its new time slot Friday at 8 p.m. ET/PT, leading in to Joss Whedon's Dollhouse at 9. The following Q&A features edited excerpts from the conference call.

What made you sad about the finale script? Sad for your character?

Glau: First of all, I'm just sad to be at our finale. I love the show, and I love my cast and my crew. It's just always hard. The word finale is always hard for me. It's hard to walk away from the show, hopefully for just a little while, because I'm very optimistic about us getting a third season. But a lot happens. A lot happens, and the last few episodes especially, I just think people are going to be on a roller coaster wondering what's going to happen next. That's all I meant. I think everybody's going to be really thrilled and really proud of where the storyline goes. But as an actress in the show I have a lot of emotions about it. It's the most beautiful character. I love playing her, and she's gone above and beyond what I ever thought I could do in two seasons on TV, and that's been a huge blessing for me. Cameron is so complicated, I couldn't possibly imagine this storyline. I'm glad that Josh is the writer, and I'm the actress. I think everybody's going to be shocked at what happens at the end of this season. It's not the ending.

Your co-stars have said there's a lot more action in the upcoming episode. What does more action mean for you in terms of big robot battles?

Glau: It means lots of squibs and lots of extra stunt rehearsals, which I've missed because we did take a little break from it at the end of our first half because we were really intensifying some of the mysteries that we've been building on. Now that I've come back from the Christmas break, it seems like I'm always putting on a squib jacket and running around and shooting people, and I am having a blast. The back nine is going to be exciting.

Did having the "Allison From Palmdale" episode affect the way you play her now?

Glau: It really just helped intensify my understanding of Cameron and really kind of helped me as an actor. I had already really imagined who I thought she was and sort of filled it in, in my own mind, but I think it just made it more exciting for me and for the fans. Because Cameron has been devoid of human behavior and trying to understand human emotions, I think that the fans are sort of getting drawn into feeling like they relate to her more. I think there are moments where you almost think Cameron's the family pet. She's more docile, and we're trusting her, but then she has to do something to shock everyone into remembering she's a dangerous robot. That's something that I try to remind myself of all the time. I want people to be drawn in but then be shocked into remembering, "Oh, my gosh, she's really dangerous." Anything could happen at any moment with her.

What about the revelation that she has a form of feelings?

Glau: That scene was really important to me. I think that she has a plan for drawing John closer to her so I've been trying to incorporate that all season. I don't think I've played her differently after that scene. It's all part of the plan for Cameron.

How are you playing Cameron's relationship with John [Thomas Dekker] and Sarah [Lena Headey]?

Glau: Well, I've always thought that everybody wants a purpose and everybody wants to belong and have a reason for surviving. I think Cameron's deep love for John is because it's her whole reason for existing. He is her whole reason for existing. I think that is love. I think she would do anything for him, and in her reality, I think that may be what love is to her. So, yeah, I think I'm not really sure what Josh wants to do with the character, and I think he's sort of peeling away layers and revealing the past/future so that we know more about Cameron. But I know from my perspective of playing her, I always want to believe that she does feel something for both of them.

How do you like teaming up with Joss on Friday nights? [Whedon cast Glau as River Tam in Firefly/Serenity.]

Glau: I think it's a great move. I think it's fun, and I think that the shows are very well paired together. Of course, I love Joss, and I know some of the actors on Dollhouse. I'm rooting for us both. I think it's going to be a fresh start for us.

Can't wait for it coming back :) I've kept my Summer Glau fix with Firefly now I need more! Both shows she acts pretty much the same :s

Which is why she was chose for Terminator series. Her ability to act without emotion.

What's in store for Shirley Manson (Source)

Shirley Manson, who plays the liquid metal T-1001 Catherine Weaver on Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, told SCI FI Wire that the remaining nine episodes of the season take Weaver out of her familiar corporate setting. Weaver has delegated tasks from her office while Cromartie (Garrett Dilahunt) and Ellison (Richard T. Jones) do her bidding. (Spoilers ahead!)

"I got to get out of my office, and I got to do a scene without Richard T. Jones, which is unusual, and we laughed about it," Weaver said in an exclusive interview. "I just felt like I got more to do, and of course that's exciting for me."

So far, Manson said that she still has not shared scenes with cast members Lena Headey (Sarah), Thomas Dekker (John), Summer Glau (Cameron) or Brian Austin Green (Derek). But she has filmed more visual-effects shots, though nothing will top her first appearance as a Terminator morphing out of a men's urinal.

"No, but I get to do some really cool s--t," the former Garbage singer said. "It's so cool. I feel like the plot has really sort of quickened its pace. It's taken a different turn, perhaps, the first half of this season. It's much more action-based, perhaps, than the first half."

As the story develops for Weaver, Manson has been surprised to find out what she will play week to week. "The plot around my character, like, all the plot, to be honest, it takes some extreme turns," she said. "The arc of the character is not what I expected. Let's put it that way. Certainly the second half of the season, there's more for me to do. My character takes some unusual turns, and it's exciting. I really feel really lucky that I've got an amazing role. I can't believe it."

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles moves to a new timeslot, Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT, starting Feb. 13.

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
