I always loved Shirley and Garbage, but she totally surprised me in this show, has a natural acting talent, she made an amazing terminator!!! this show was so good so pissed off it was cancelled, and just when it got really good!!
To me, the creepiest terminator ever. The coldness she shows to the child and every other human. She would kill them all if she didn't have her broader mission in mind. I miss this show. Ah, what could've been! I still went and purchased it on dvd or blu ray. I have it somewhere in my basement. I think I'll watch it again.
Catherine Weaver is a great character. Shirley Manson played the part well. She was a good anti-villain. I thought that was a good twist about the character in the finale. She's actually on our side and she's building a computer to fight Skynet. Why else did she go with John to the alternate future war to go after Cromartie?
Summer Glau (Cameron) and Shirley Manson are the female equivalent to Arnold and Robert Patrick in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Both performances were absolutely great and ten times better than Kristanna Loken as the "T-X" in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. It's a shame they nixed this show, because it was actually a decent follow-up to the first two films, unlike the sequels after T2.
so natural and convincing that I literally felt the ominous ruthless cold emotionless psyche of a terminator. And also the constant pretending of being perfectly human. Plus the look of hers... I can hardly imagine anything more evil smart and coldblooded in the same moment...
She got better when the doctor help her mom fake some emotion. But the scene where she said her lap was cold was sad too. BUT, now I think Ellison will raise her. He wanted a family, his ex wife aborted their kid without his knowledge, so this is his second chance to have a family. They deserve each other. Both have a GREAT heart!!! Her mom basically told him to take care of her when she warped.
She looks really gorgeous in real life as a normal person, not as rockstar as she's known for and we got catch glimpses of her beautiful body in the finale.
I'll go along with that...she'd be a good successor to Sean Connery. She should play a T-1001 who joins Interpol, or works for MI-6. Talk about cool, calm, and 'a license to kill... ;-)
Have two headcannon stories, this gal and Supernatural's Rowena are long lost sisters, of a sort; the other is that the liquid metal Terminators are actually alien life forms that landed on earth right in the middle of the Terminator war and got invaded by and coopted/reprogrammed by Skynet. Catherine Weaver is struggling to free her people from Skynet's grip.
I have always been a sucker for a Scottish accent, But add in some flaming red hair, a liquid chromium endoskeleton? with some lady parts on the outside and some damn good acting, Oh Hell Yeah!
@apedosmi1 I'm not sure you can judge her as an actress based on this. It would be interesting to see her take some other role where she doesn't have an excuse/reason for stiff acting.
@rob92376 Hey, she was one (sort of). On 'The World Is Not Enough'. OK, maybe not exactly as 'a Bond Girl', but as what I think was way cooler and more gratifying.
JONZUN I'm surprised she didn't kill her but instead she touched him in a very tenderly way I think had it been another season he would have had sex with her and she would have probably gotten pregnant with a human hybrid child .. she did have feelings for him
I mean she could use some improv practice to sell things better but she's often the best character on the show, so really you should blame the director and the editor who doesn't cut her flat lines.
@kaosboy13 i have not watched the show, only very few scenes. but i think her reply is very much revealing her unsympathetic, robot-like ways of reasoning over expressing emotions. BTW doesn't seem like such an interesting show..?
How on Earth could a six year old get herself into a helicopter (which should be locked) on the room of corporate building? Wouldn't there be security up there?
If you're judging her acting ability on 'The Sarah Connor Chronicles' then I'd argue it's a redundant exercise. She's playing a "liquid metal prototype (which)...has been unable to make convincing smiles or relate to people.." I'd like to see her play a human being before deciding.
At 4:35 she sounds like a Lifetime TV movie, but that's because the writing is shit and her T1001 stare didn't get enough camera time. Good directing and editing can usually fix "bad acting".
This video is the best clip of all the Terminator ones here. No doubt the kid that played John Connor drug the series into the ratings bomb with his horrible acting. God awful writing for the John Connor character didn't help - they wrote him as a total incompetent unaware clueless twit - totally unlikely to logically develop into the bad-ass that other bad asses would die for. WTF. Love Shirley here, though. She could carry a sequel alone. (Hint-hint).
this show failed why graphics sucked bad acting was extremly bad the terminators act weird terminators dont play mommy and dont play hide and seek.. this is weird.. the show is weird.. crap in crap out since 2000's everything sucks in life now movies music etc they realized why try hard and make a good show and waste money etc when you can make a crappy show and if so many view it your job is done... so shows now dont even try.. they make these fly by night shows reality tv to make major profit etc and only put in 3 months work... this is why i dont watch this crap
I always loved Shirley and Garbage, but she totally surprised me in this show, has a natural acting talent, she made an amazing terminator!!! this show was so good so pissed off it was cancelled, and just when it got really good!!
she is a great actress, you can see in her eyes that john henry is her child, not savannah. Shirley you did a great job on this show.
This is what you call perfect casting. Shirley is just the right amount of kwery.
Shirley Manson: The T-1001 Chronicles
I'd watch the hell of that show
Shirley is a natural actress. Love her :)
To me, the creepiest terminator ever. The coldness she shows to the child and every other human. She would kill them all if she didn't have her broader mission in mind. I miss this show. Ah, what could've been! I still went and purchased it on dvd or blu ray. I have it somewhere in my basement. I think I'll watch it again.
I would be scared to stand or talk to her knowing she can unexpectably stab me
Well, it's easy when you don't have a soul ^^
Shirley Manson is an exceptional person !!!!
'Yes darling. I did...' Some how so VERY chilling when she says that.

She's actually on our side and she's building a computer to fight Skynet. Why else did she go with John to the alternate future war to go after Cromartie?
John Henry.
I don't know about that. Catherine still killed a lot of innocent people. She seemed more like an anti-hero to me.
@@professional.commentator You know how millions of Americans adore famous generals?
They killed a lot of innocent people too.
She's not an anti-hero, she's the villain protagonist.
She's fighting Skynet for her own sake, she's on her own side.
@@namethis658 Building a computer to fight Skynet. Sounds to me she's a protagonist.
Weaver made season 2, best terminator character in the whole franchise.
adamcrookedsmile I Agree
adamcrookedsmile After Cameron, that is...
We could have gotten a third season out of this show, if only the producers hadn't lost the rights...
after Cameron.
we need a third season
As cold as the metal she's made of, damn...
just saw her tonight in concert it was amazing,,

It is so sad they didn't make more of it.
in both quality and quantity.
whats crazy is that she plays a terminator-like robot on the video "the world is not enough" haha! I
She’s perfect for that part!! Really!!!
so natural and convincing that I literally felt the ominous ruthless cold emotionless psyche of a terminator. And also the constant pretending of being perfectly human. Plus the look of hers... I can hardly imagine anything more evil smart and coldblooded in the same moment...
Patience is a virtue, Skynet knows all about this.😅
i feel so bad for savannah, she is so alone, without her real mommy.
She got better when the doctor help her mom fake some emotion. But the scene where she said her lap was cold was sad too.
BUT, now I think Ellison will raise her. He wanted a family, his ex wife aborted their kid without his knowledge, so this is his second chance to have a family. They deserve each other. Both have a GREAT heart!!!
Her mom basically told him to take care of her when she warped.
I thought T1000 Catherine Weaver killed the real Catherine and took her place. It turns out the real Catherine Weaver died in a helicopter crash.
This show was so good. Ugh. I hate they cancelled it.
She just rules season 2 all by her self! No better figure/actress than her to keep the presure up in non-combat blah blah scenes :)
Shirley Manson is the sexiest woman alive. Still.
She looks really gorgeous in real life as a normal person, not as rockstar as she's known for and we got catch glimpses of her beautiful body in the finale.
And the award for mother of the year goes to.............
Maybe next Shirley Manson will get to star on Blue's Clues.
however, I liked the lesson about patience. I will try to take it to heart.
I wish she had a better acting career & I know she wanted that too
She is so Beautiful
Shirley is ready to be a good mom ;)
i love it!
I'll go along with that...she'd be a good successor to Sean Connery. She should play a T-1001 who joins Interpol, or works for MI-6. Talk about cool, calm, and 'a license to kill...
;-)
Now I need to buy the whole series.
Savanah knows it’s not her mom

i wish the scene went like this ---> im thinking of a herb... we're wasting time. computer accepts time for (thyme).
LMFAO, rolled on that one!

jajajaaj que madre tan dulce!! how sweet!!! hahaha
She freaks me out. Need to rewatch this show.
shirley is so beatiful !!
Love her in this.
It really fits her character.
Какой приятный у нее голос в оригинальной озвучке.👍
Bellísima la AMOOO
loving mother...
Shirley 🖤🖤
she needs to play Poison Ivy next. She is the closest in terms of casting choices by looks and talent.
aww a lil baby
Give it a watch.
Not kidding , I thought she'd kill Savannah anytime, if she was bothered enough
I'm just in love with her ;-)
alguien sabe si ba acontinuar está serie
that little girl almost has the same face as shirey
Little girl knew it wasn't her mom.
do me shirley Do me NOW!!
Smartelek180 Buy them... you so won't regret it... I just can't help muself watching them all over again
@apedosmi1
I'm not sure you can judge her as an actress based on this. It would be interesting to see her take some other role where she doesn't have an excuse/reason for stiff acting.
hah. catherine liked playing.
I hope they get Shirley into T movie. She's so hot.
@rob92376 Hey, she was one (sort of). On 'The World Is Not Enough'. OK, maybe not exactly as 'a Bond Girl', but as what I think was way cooler and more gratifying.
i feel a ginger joke would be appropriate
Her daughter reminds me of Sherry Birkins
Lol!!
I thought the brother was going to get killed...lol
JONZUN I'm surprised she didn't kill her but instead she touched him in a very tenderly way I think had it been another season he would have had sex with her and she would have probably gotten pregnant with a human hybrid child .. she did have feelings for him
@rob92376 Now that's an idea

BTW doesn't seem like such an interesting show..?
Dumbest Boss, Eh-ver :D
T-1001 why it wanted to help humans still unclear they can't be hacked like T-800s?
人間の娘とは遊ばず、機械の息子とは遊ぶ液体金属のお母ちゃん(笑)
a normal power cell batirie
bad acting but I still love her
John Henry
@rob92376 Technically, she was. She sang the theme to "The World Is Not Enough."
僕もadam crooked smile さんのコメントに同意します

I don't know what people find so awful about it. Can you please explain?
Can't wait for that little girl to grow up.
did this show have a point?
Yes: For autistic people, a Summer Glau robot is more ideal as a romantic partner than a human is.
You should look half as good at whatever your age is now as she will look when she's twice her current age.
I'll give yo a mo to work that out.
Cheers

Huge fan of Garbage. Huge fan of Shirley as a musician. She's no actress though.
If you're judging her acting ability on 'The Sarah Connor Chronicles' then I'd argue it's a redundant exercise. She's playing a "liquid metal prototype (which)...has been unable to make convincing smiles or relate to people.." I'd like to see her play a human being before deciding.
I'm lol
I think is because a machine have poor social skills, specially related to children. In my opinion have more sense this way.
I hated that show, but loved Shirley. Actually Shirley Manson is right up there with Kevin Bacon for me. My top 2.
At 4:35 she sounds like a Lifetime TV movie, but that's because the writing is shit and her T1001 stare didn't get enough camera time.
Good directing and editing can usually fix "bad acting".
Her acting isn't bad here
This video is the best clip of all the Terminator ones here. No doubt the kid that played John Connor drug the series into the ratings bomb with his horrible acting. God awful writing for the John Connor character didn't help - they wrote him as a total incompetent unaware clueless twit - totally unlikely to logically develop into the bad-ass that other bad asses would die for. WTF. Love Shirley here, though. She could carry a sequel alone. (Hint-hint).
Thomas Dekker acting is amazing and he does a great job as John Connor!
Who is Shirley Manson?
If they made this show today, both of the redheads would be turned into black girls.
She doesn't have kids
😐😐
she got rid of her scottish accent
cmolodiets wow that's the first time I've ever seen her touch you she usually kills her victims but him she touched
weird! '=O/
The aspect is wrong, too narrow.... annoying to watch.
why this dangerous, uncomfortable sounding music? this is why i mostly avoid american cinema movies
I mostly avoid people from Douchenborogh
Epic response.
Don't have kids!
Atheist.
She's not very self confident...
Shirley is awesome and Garbage rules but damn this show is awful.
This show is awesome!
I love the Terminator films. This looks like complete and utter shite though.
this show failed why graphics sucked bad acting was extremly bad the terminators act weird terminators dont play mommy and dont play hide and seek.. this is weird.. the show is weird.. crap in crap out since 2000's everything sucks in life now movies music etc they realized why try hard and make a good show and waste money etc when you can make a crappy show and if so many view it your job is done... so shows now dont even try.. they make these fly by night shows reality tv to make major profit etc and only put in 3 months work... this is why i dont watch this crap
Han Solo the show was better than your recent movie that flopped. Star wars has become a joke
