Summer’s back!

Summer Glau has locked down the lead female role on NBC’s new superhero serial “The Cape.” The 28-year-old star of Fox TV’s canceled cult favs “Firefly” and “Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles” will play a fearless young blogger out to expose corrupt cops and costumed criminals.

The pilot episode is directed by Simon West (When a Stranger Calls, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) and stars David Lyons as a cop masquerading as a costumed hero to catch the people that framed him in a crime.

I’m into Summer, but I don’t know if I can buy the idea of a crime-fighting blogger. Where would she find the time to eat Hot Pockets and write snarky commentary on the lives and hard work of others? Seems too unrealistic. I will watch this show for one season.
