"Of course, there's absolutely no question that Cameron is the biggest star in the show, the key character in the whole thing. Killing her and keep the show going would be like killing Arnie in T2 or T3. I don't know if Cameron's character was written specifically for Summer Glau to play it, but I agree that she probably brings an unique touch and capability to it as an actress. It's extremely important that the viewers and the fans root, care and empathise with the characters, and if possible, with the actors themselves. It happens both ways with Cameron / Summer Glau: the fans adore them both. There just wouldn't be a show without her. All in all, Veran, what you said totally goes without saying..."

"That's why I think Sarah is on the chopping block. No opening monologue, no narration, cancer has been brought back up in a very hurried manner. Seems to add up.

It would be a real shame if that's the character they're off-ing. "

"If Sarah dies they better change the name of the show from "Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles".. Wouldn't really make sense anymore would it."

"I don't see any hurrying in the way the cancer thing was brought up, can you explain what you mean by that? And the narrations will still be there, just not in every episode. The Turk himself said it here:

Sarah is not the one to go, she's the main reason why the show was created in the first place - because people missed Sarah in T3. It makes no sense to me to kill her. Cameron is probably safe as well, for the reasons stated. So is John, for the obvious reasons."

"Man, I'm mad. I was writing a reply and my computer refreshed the page without my permission and I lost what I was writing.

Basically I was saying that this thread is stupid because even though Cameron is an awesome character and Summer is an awesome actress, she is not the star of the show nor does she carry it all by her lonesome.

There is no doubt that Summer/Cameron has a HUGe following on the internet. But, the internet is not a good ratio of actual viewers of the show. Summer is huge in the sci-fi world but outside of it, nobody knows her. And I don't believe it's just sci-fi fans that are watching SCC. Remember, the majority of viewers do not go on any forums. Summer is not the star of it. Hell, Brian Green's name is bigger than hers and his character has been just as receptive. Lena Headey's name is bigger (outside of sci-fi world) for 300 alone. That was a HUGE movie. But anyway, my point is, it's an ensemble cast and technically Headey is the star because she's the title character, but I don't think anyone outshines another. As far as characters go, I think with regular viewers and outside of internet forums, Sarah's character is more key. She's been an iconic action heroine for over 20 years.

Don't get me wrong. Cameron ROCKS. Summer ROCKS. But to say:

"Of course, there's absolutely no question that Cameron is the biggest star in the show, the key character in the whole thing"

"Lena Headey is a great actress, I like her performance a lot, but she (and Dekker) can't pull the weight of the show alone. Cam IS the show."

Is craziness. I think Cameron is safe from termination because she's taken that Arnie role... a cyborg we love to love and unless the show is going downhill, we're not ready for her to go just yet.
