This is a promo shot of Summer Glau, advertising for “The Sarah Connor Chronicles”.
If the first thing that grabbed your attention was the anatomy of the model, you’re a guy.
If the first thing you noticed was the model of the gun she’s holding, you’re a gun geek.
If you looked at that picture, and your first thought was, “Finger off the trigger!”, you’re a well-trained gun geek.

Great. The first thing I saw was the booger hook on the bang switch.
Then boobs.
I may be a gun geek, but I’ve got hormones too.
I would like to point out that in the episode where Cameron is practicing ballet in her room that I actually gained a little appreciation for dance.

Ah, but what you don’t see is the evil Terminator that was hiding on the second-story loft, which she just neutralized using only her peripheral vision.
By the way, what does it say about me that the first thing I noticed was her expression and the shine on her shoulder?

The first thing I noticed is that it appears the trigger has alread been pulled on an empty chamber.
And since when did she have boobs?
April 22, 2008 at 9:56 am
She has a gun?
April 22, 2008 at 9:59 am
There’s a gun in that picture????
Oh I get it, kinda like, “Where’s Waldo?”
Gun geeks indeed! Man cannot live on lead-slinging alone!

I noticed all those things, and in the order you list them. Guess I’m a guy first.

The first thing I thought was, “River Tam!”
Then I thought, “Boogerhook!”
Geek squared.

I am with BobG, guy first, gun geek second and third I guess. . . . But hey, I wouldn’t mind giving up some of my time to help her learn how to properly handle that nice pistol. . .

I did the same thing as Breda, with an additional step.
1. Hey look, it’s River.
2. Hey, her finger is on the trigger, naughty.
3. Holy crap, when did she get a chest like that?
April 22, 2008 at 1:25 pm
maybe it’s just old age… but I saw her finger on the trigger first.. lately I’ve been looking for that on tv… Two different ‘Mediums’. The first had the sociopathetic killer terrorizing a young girl, with his finger held straight out alongside the guard. The second had the FBI agent with his finger on the trigger while he did the ’spread your fingers and carefully wrap them back around the grip’ thing
and yea!! where’d she get those??

River Tam is teh hawtness.
April 22, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Her chest is an artifact of one or any combination of the following
-CG / Photoshop
-Lighting
-SkyNet brand Underwire pushup bra.
Don’t get me wrong. B cups are a thing of beauty, but in several of the promotional shots of her, she’s sporting a size above her cup class. As a photo retouching geek, I know how a simple “shadow” can add two cup sizes to anyone (men included. Hence why a lot of people stopped sending me family pictures in their Christmas cards).
April 22, 2008 at 1:48 pm
A cups are cute but I think I might send all my photos to Robb from now on.

I saw:
-chick with gu… hey, boogerhooks!! Geez…
-oh, wait?! WOW!
-Dammit.
I looked for the gun first. THEN saw teh hawtness.
FAIL.
I am so ashamed.

Don’t make me pull out this one again.
April 22, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Yeah, first I saw the boogerhook, then I noticed that it appeared to already have been pulled. Then I looked at the photoshop boob job (yes, I can do that sort of editing, too) and rolled my eyes.
April 22, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Finger on trigger. Ugh.
Glock. Ugh.
Nice rack tho’…
April 22, 2008 at 11:06 pm
I think she grew boobies since serenity.
First thing I saw was booger hook on bang switch.
April 23, 2008 at 1:12 am
Face
Gun
Finger!
Something odd about that trigger?
Whoa! Curves!!
What’s wrong with her arm-a bit thin?
Oooh, a lefty! (a left-handed Terminator?-hmmm)
April 23, 2008 at 9:29 am
The first thing I noticed was something missing:

Oh, there it is.
April 23, 2008 at 10:09 am
A well-trained is me, yay!!
Actually, my first thought was “what kind of gu…..finger, FINGER.” At least it was something like that.
April 23, 2008 at 12:52 pm
My thoughts went something like this
-Hey, it’s River
-Hmm, bad gun handling
-Oh wait, Cameron is a robot, which means accidental trigger impulses are so unlikely as to be negligible, so what turns into a safety tip for humans becomes completely unnecessary for a Terminator.
-Hmm, the boob increase is probably from a bra.
April 23, 2008 at 3:09 pm
The sad thing, I noticed the finger on the trigger first, too. SIGH.

In this, I totally failed the gun geek part, but I retain my status as a boob man and River fan (I didn’t see the boogerhook until I read the post).
Although, the other day I was watching a show with my wife and some guy came on screen with a revolver and he had his finger wrapped so far around that trigger I thought he was trying to touch his thumb.
And no, I don’t know what kind of revolver, because my name is not Tam and I can not glimpse the reflection of a wheelgun off of a rusty chrome bumper and be able to confirm that no, that is not a Taurus, it is a gift of Sam Colt modeled after a piece he had designed in 1856 for his manservant Josef and champered in S&W .44 with a 7 lb trigger pull.
Seriously, the woman scares me sometimes.
April 24, 2008 at 2:02 pm
I noticed her body and the trigger… at the same time. I did not have any clue who it was. So, I must be an out of touch gun geek. Who is also a pig. *drool*
April 24, 2008 at 3:38 pm
I first noticed the wierd (impossible?) lighting, which turned me off the boobs, knowing they were probably shopped too, and onto the gun.
Wouldn’t know the model, so the poor trigger control caught my eye.
April 25, 2008 at 11:47 am
My impressions – Gun first, followed quickly by her finger, and frankly, if she’s dumb/irresponsible enough to be photo’d like that, I have no interest in what she looks like. That’s likely due to a) what my wife looks like, and b) that she knows enough to “keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.”
As an acid test, I showed this to my 12 year old daughter… She started yelling at the picture about “improper finger position.” Somedays, I get these little confirmations that I’m teaching my kids and that they are actually learning.
April 26, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Okya, she’s a *Terminator* here, which means she’s a robot, which means “no twitch/grasp reflex”, which means no prob for that character to keep her/its finger on the trigger and thus shave half a millisecond off its/her firing time.
Just sayin’.
I must be a blog geek with a lagging connection. I read the text before the picture finished loading, thus invalidating the test.
