When Shirley Manson went on Last Call With Carson Daly the other day, she showed this weird clip from Monday's Sarah Connor Chronicles. It answers some of your questions about CEO Catherine Weaver's relationship with her "daughter," and it doesn't look like Catherine is in line for mother of the year. But this scene wasn't in the DVD of the episode which I watched the other day. Maybe that final shot of the floor squicked the network? What do you think? Update: This clip is from the Oct. 20 episode, a Warner Bros. rep tells io9. [Clip from Sarah Connor Society] More »

How does Shirley "Garbage" Manson put the right amount of steely menace into evil CEO Catherine Weaver on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles? She channels a little bit of Margaret Thatcher, the former U.K. prime minister, she told reporters in a conference call today. Also, we asked Manson whether she would be terrorizing any more of her underlings, and her response was... interesting. Spoilers ahead, especially if you missed the season opener. More »

Wondering what gives Shirley Manson the experience to be able to pull off playing a hard-ass CEO in the new season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles? Apparently, very tenuous logic, according to the former lead singer of Garbage: "You know, she's the CEO of a corporation that develops technology... As a musician, we're dealing with technology all the time nowadays so it's not such a stretch." Well, it was that or "she's a woman, just like me." [Comic Book Resources] More »

Shirley Manson, lead singer of Garbage, will join the cast of post-apocalyptopera Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles this fall, but what's really shocking is the role she plays. She'll be Catherine Weaver, the CEO of a high-tech company (which I'm guessing has something to do with the development of the show's future cyber-dictator, Skynet.) Here's hoping her character is an out-and-out computer geek, and not just a business weenie. Television needs more rockers-turned-nerds. Image by Harsha Gopal/WENN. [Reuters] More »
