Earlier this summer we invited photographer David Strick onto our set for two episodes. Check out what he captured on the LA Times site.

SyFyPortal spent some time with Richard talking about the evolution that is Ellison. io9 says you can’t escape the Beastwizard (as if you’d want to)! And Village Soup graciously terms us the “Best Show on Television.” Hey, thanks!

Surely you didn’t miss The Mousetrap, did you? And you’ve certainly discovered that you can stream it for free on hulu or fox and purchase it in the iTunes television digital store.

But if you only have two minutes to catch up quickly (or want to review before this coming week’s Allison from Palmdale), check out all the good stuff in this week’s recap.

TVGuide reflects on last week’s big debut with Shirley, The Futon Critic gets in good with the whole gang, AOL TV recaps the “20 Things We Learned On The Set With Terminator,” and The Boston Herald profiles Thomas.

Our “corporate robot” tops TVGuide’s best moment on television this week, while io9 talks to Shirley about that role and Zap2it blogs about “blowin’ stuff up” on our set.

Lena and Summer are both nominated for Scream Awards! Make sure to cast your vote.

Our first report back from yesterday’s blogger day is up at SciFi Wire. Billboard covers Shirley transition from rock star to robot.

Today is blogger day here at T:SCC! FOX has invited some online friends to breakfast and an amazing day with our talented cast and crew, so keep your eyes peeled for report backs soon.

Meanwhile, did you enjoy last night’s premiere? Pink Is the New Blog is already smitten with Shirley. Entertainment Weekly one-upped their original review. BuddyTV backs us up, insisting that “anyone who continues to hate on this show is just being stubborn.”

Check out our composer Bear McCreary’s blog as he details the process of working with Shirley on the incredible opening song. And because there’s so much interest, Shirley and Bear’s “Samson and Delilah” track will be available on the upcoming T:SCC “Volume One” soundtrack and on iTunes in the days to come. We’ll let you know where you can get it as soon as it’s available.

Meet the T-1001. The new face of Skynet.

The Deadbolt believes Samson and Delilah to be “the best returning show season premiere we’ve seen so far this year…”

What say The Baltimore Sun? “Watching tonight’s episode I actually smacked myself in the forehead when I understood for the first time the real appeal of this series: It’s about single moms and their sons. Sarah is the single mom on steroids, and it really is her and the kid against the world without a shred of help. Very smart stuff at this level. And I welcome its return.”

And the “one to watch this week” says Ace Showbiz.

Zap2it’s Daniel Fienberg tackles the “spectacle and spiritual” of T:SCC, Thomas and Summer open up to IGN about what’s coming up for their characters, Shirley takes her turn with CanMag, as does Brian with the TVAddict, and Lena goes to bat for circus animals in a new PETA call to action. Hey, did you see what ex-FOX star Shannen Doherty had to say about T:SCC?

And if you’re in LA tonight, stop by the Paley Center’s FOX Preview Party where Josh, John Wirth, and James Middleton will be previewing the new season with the guys and gals from Fringe and Do Not Disturb. 6:00-8:00PM tonight.

Can you feel the excitement? Second season premiere is only three days away!

iFMagazine.com raves about the premiere and Shirley Manson’s Catherine Weaver, and metromix agrees, adding that “robots are hot and explosions are cool.” Well said.

PS: Did you see our new and awesomely improved official series sight?
