While we were pleasantly surprised by the first season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles , we couldn’t help but think the series was crying out for a flame-haired uberbitch to whip things up into a mind-bogling, conspiracy-theory frenzy.
The producers seem to agree and have thrown former Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson into the mix as cool-as-ice company bigwig Catherine Weaver. As her little Harry Lime-esque monologue above proves, Catherine isn’t entirely a benevolent boss at the mysterious Zeiracorp, though there is some speculation on whether she’s going to help the Connors or not.
Manson, herself, is giving little away - other than the fact getting the gig was a fluke - though claims not to have had any punch-ups with Lena Headey ’s Sarah just yet. We think former-Bond tunesmith Manson was born to play an enigmatic megalomaniac, though having watched the above clip 14 times we still can’t decide if Weaver is Scottish, British or American…
In other Sarah Connor news, who wants to see Summer Glau - aka Terminator Cameron - flip a car with just a flick of the wrist?
