I'm guessing its the sex sells approach since generally the promo shots like these don't tie into story arcs. But it would be nice if we do actually see Prom at some point with Cam and John.

That shot of Summer in a dress is very un-Cameron like. But damn she's hot.

I wish I knew who the photographer was! I've been looking high and low for the pix, sigh, to no avail. I will try and wait patiently for the HQ's. Oh, and thanks Jen22!

To each his own, but I can't think of anything worse than to see more High School stories in this series - teen melodrama, no thank you. Unless of course they want to turn the prom into a Columbine style massacre in which case I could be persuaded that it might be a good idea. The sight of dozens of teenagers being massacred in the crossfire between Cromartie and Cameron could serve as a visceral representation of the fate of Humans under Skynet.

I'd prefer if all the publicity shots were in character. The sight of dozens of teenagers being massacred in the crossfire between Cromartie and Cameron could serve as a visceral representation of the fate of Humans under Skynet. I don't think there's much chance of that. They changed the shootout in the dream sequence at the beginning of the pilot from a school to a library and when Cromartie fires in John's class later, the only person who gets shot is Cameron. They tread carefully around that stuff.

I'd prefer if all the publicity shots were in character. They did it with Firefly too. Cast glamor shots + Character promo shots. I think it's something the Fox network likes to do. It's a very Sex + Violence = Ratings network. And Summer Glau pretty much fits the bill for both.

They changed the shootout in the dream sequence at the beginning of the pilot from a school to a library and when Cromartie fires in John's class later, the only person who gets shot is Cameron. They tread carefully around that stuff. Yeah. I felt it made it a little weaker, but I understand why they do it. My own personal problem with the change is that they still went ahead and showed a suicide at school so it makes it feel horribly inconsistent. The dream sequence changes just didn't seem necessary. Plus, all the action takes place with three different school buses in shots with the dream terminator so it's OBVIOUS what the library really is.

Wait, so the Pilot dream sequence was supposed to take place at a library? I always thought it took place at the SCHOOL library. Hunh..

All they really did was change the room Sarah grabs John from and change the name on the front of the building. Considering the terminator mayhem takes place outside, I don't even see why they bothered.

Almost every network does the show promos and the network promos. Usually as part of the network video promos where all kinds of stars show up to present the network. FOX does it every year...not sure what they are called. WB did them and called it Image Campaign. CW does it and calls it Mondo shoot. But it certainly isn't anything new.
I'm surprised some of you didn't notice before or don't seem to know about those.
