I saw Terminator: Salvation in the theatre when it came out and didn’t remember the topless shot, so when I got a HDTV and BluRay player I snagged the BD. The pause feature on the BluRay player is very clear and detailed, I’ll tell ya.

She was in Terminator Salvation. Pretty hot. I had to look her up (when I saw the movie, so I guess I care a little) so that makes her a C. She isn’t washed up or pathetic yet.

I worked on a movie that she was in, though I wasn’t on set with her. Someone from my department on that job had gone to high school with her, and he did get to work on set with Moon.

</div>

just so you guys know why I’m asking.

I’ve talked to her twice. She doesn’t think she’s all that big. I thought I knew her when I first saw her and she said that I wouldn’t prolly know her and said her name was Moon and I replied instantly Bloodgood. I think she was a little shocked. Very humble and she wasn’t with any makeup, au naturel, and still looking good. Hopefully I’ll bump into her again and have something for her to sign.

And yeah, I was a huge fan of Daybreak, got cancelled mid way and put online on ABC’s website which Canadians can’t access. Loved Journeyman even more and that got cancelled but all eps were shown. Watched Terminator Salvation and cried watching Eight Below (not because of her, I’m a dog person). I guess she isn’t such a huge star I believed her to be, I’m just a geek that watched a lot of the Sci-fi type stuff she was in and never forgot her name after seeing her in so many things.

By the way, her voice is the dead giveaway that it’s her. She can look very different looking without make-up and her hair done, but when you hear her voice you will know it’s her if you are a nerd like me.

I’ve heard of her. I think I remember her chiefly because of her unusual name. She’s an exotic brunette as I recall. I can’t recall any movies or TV series she’s been in. I’m pretty sure she did a layout in Maxim.

yea, I saw her in that Maxim layout too, some time last year. Prolly during the Terminator Salvation release.

She was in Terminator Salvation as the lead female Resistance fighter. As for why I care, her name’s Moon Bloodgood, it’s kinda memorable.

> [@BMada](#):

None of the above. She’s a bit part actress that I doubt I could pick out of a lineup. There are hundreds of such actors in Hollywood and the best hope for them is to become a “That Guy!” and build a career that way.

I recognize the name, so I know I’ve seen her in at least one thing, but I couldn’t tell you what it is.

::Goes to Google her after admitting his near-total ignorance about her::

Okay. Did a Google image search for her, and a) she’s quite a fucking little hottie; and b) I _suspect_ she’s the (again, hot) chick who fell in love with Sam Worthington’s unaware terminator in the underrated **Terminator Salvation**.

::Checks IMDB to see if he’s right. _Aaaand_ he is. (Of course.)::

Also: Her name adds to her sex appeal.

I just watched “Terminator: Salvation” again recently, and I quite enjoyed it. I really like Sam Worthington, for some reason. Maybe his features are very symmetrical.

Never heard of her, never seen any of the works she’s been in, though I did watch a lot of Burn Notice. Just not that season, I guess. Not her target demographic.

I know her from Burn Notice, and have the idea that she was also in some series I didn’t watch that was cancelled. That’s all I got…

Terminator Salvation. Burn Notice… no idea of List status. Hot in an action grrl kind of way.

Dude, there was no Deck of Many Things in the Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. What, all the powered armor and laser blasters weren’t Monty Hall enough for your DM?

Yep, like her. But I sure wouldn’t cast her in a new time-travel drama I was producing. 🙂

Her name is awesome. It would only be better if she’d worked as a bookkeeper!

I don’t recognize the name. Googled a pic and I still got nothin.

Really? 😕 Her name is sort of a turn off for me. It presents a dichotomy between beautiful woman (which I now know, thanks go the Goog) and really unpleasant name.

Yes, I know who she is - one of those hotties: variety = exotic brunette that emerge for a period of time, but rarely cross over to lasting success. There was an actress named Karina Lombard who fit this category a few years ago…

I know her from Day Break and Journeyman. She also made an apperance in Terminator Salvation. She is very beautiful but received a lot of bad luck in Hollywood.

I know her from the Terminator movie.

Link below features the edited out nude scene from the movie. Possible NSFW, unless your work is taking your shirt off in the rain so you can fight some robots.

Likewise knew her without Google from Journeyman and Terminator:Salvation. Of course when I saw Journeyman I originally thought that Tia Carrare was still really hot.
