WHY!

February 25, 2008

Why is it Summer Glau always seems to take roles where she’s dispassionate and alienated?

First Firefly / Serenity.
Then 4400.
Now Terminator.

Don’t get me wrong, I think she does each of the roles great / different / etc. Tess is very different from River, etc. I’m not too fond of her Terminator character, but whatever. Surely she has greater depth than this? I can’t tell if she’s always this wooden, or if people just seem to find wooden roles for her. Certainly a Google image search shows some very animated, happy looking pictures of her.

Find happy roles damnit!
