They kept saying they'd be back.

Even though the accented muscleman from the first film became the Governor of California and the central heroine was killed off-camera between sequels, the saga of the Terminator just keeps coming, much like the relentless cyborg of the title.< p>

Taking place between the second and third films, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles stars Lena Headey (300) as the mother of John Connor (Thomas Dekker), future leader of the human resistance when he grows up. Now, a new protector Terminator played by sweet and innocent-looking Summer Glau (Serenity) has come back to help them stop Skynet once and for all.

The stars, series premiere director David Nutter and producers Josh Friedman and James Middleton shared their mission objectives for the new Terminator TV series airing Monday nights on Fox.
