Those Terminator: Sarah Chronicle fans lamenting the axe of the sci-fi remake, can comfort themselves with the upcoming appearance of Summer Glau in Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse.

EW.com reports that Glau will be part of a multi-episode story arc and is playing Bennett, a Dollhouse employee who shares a past with Echo (Eliza Dushku).

Glau played stunted and robotic very well in Terminator, no doubt she will do soulless and vacant well too.

Fox are due to release their fall schedule later today however reports suggest that Bones fans have a reason to be very happy.

The US TV network is thought to have placed an order for two more seasons of the David Boreanaz show after fierce negotiations with 20th Century Fox over its licence fee.

Fans of Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles have reason to be disappointed as all hope is lost and the show has been officially cancelled due to falling ratings.

It seems likely at this point that the network’s Fall schedule will include “Bones”, “House M.D.”, “24“, “Dollhouse“, “Lie to Me“, “Fringe“, “‘Til Death”, “American Idol“, “The Simpsons”, “Kitchen Nightmares” and “American Dad”.

Meanwhile, joining “Terminator” under the bed are “Sit Down, Shut Up”, “Prison Break” and “King of the Hill”.

For all you Sarah Connor Chronicles fans, and we know there are many amongst you, you will be thrilled to find out that from today you can watch the online premiere of the first episode of the new series on Virgin 1’s website.

For those who would rather watch the show the more conventional way, the series two kicks off on Thursday night, Virgin 1 at 9pm.

Join us back here on Friday for our review of the show, we’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions!

“One bag. Plus guns. I’ll make pancakes.” That’s the order from commitment phobic Sarah Connor to her son, ultimate saviour of the human race, when she gets spooked by a marriage proposal from her boyfriend and decides to clear out of town.

That she can say ‘pack the guns’ and ‘I’ll make pancakes’ in the same statement shows how much protecting John Connor from the terminators has become her entire life.

Spot The Terminator

Even after moving to a new town, it isn’t long before a terminator known as Cromartie manages to track John down at his new school. Cromartie is even intelligent enough to pose as a substitute teacher. He takes a roll call while slicing open his leg to reveal a concealed gun (inconvenient, since he just took a load of papers out of a briefcase). He’s even programmed for witty one-liners – making sure to say “Class dismissed” before jumping out the window in pursuit of John. Ah well, it’s better than “I’ll be back”, and who wouldn’t want the human race to be wiped out by wisecracking cyborgs?

Thankfully, future John Connor had the good sense to send back the sexiest Terminatrix in the history of the franchise – Cameron. Yes, even hotter than Kristiana Loken. Unlike her musclebound predecessor, this cy-babe (yes, I invented that word) doesn’t have to peel off her skin to prove her inner robot – she simply lets her eyes pulse with an electric blue colour. Comes in handy when the Connors pay a visit to Myles Dyson’s wife.
