US, July 29, 2007 - Like the Chuck screening (featuring Adam Baldwin) on Friday, the debut of the pilot to The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Saturday at Comic-Con was a reminder that Firefly adoration still runs deep with this crowd. While the audience seemed to love the entire pilot - which had a special extended cut made just for the convention - it was obviously Summer Glau who was the biggest draw for many. As the pilot screened, Glau garnered applause not just from her first appearance, but from several other crowd-pleasing moments that followed in the Terminator spinoff series, in which she plays a protective Terminator sent to help John and Sarah Connor.
Afterwards, the producers and cast from the series took to the stage to field questions. Glau's costar Richard T. Jones humorously said how it was his sad fate to be the person sitting next to Glau who always had to follow her when answers were being given, and thus follow some frequent big cheers from the crowd, such as when she was asked what the appeal of the show was for her and she said "I get to be a Terminator!". The cast seemed to get along very well, and Glau referenced a scene in the pilot at one point, saying "When you're standing on a freeway in Albuquerque, naked, all you have is each other."
