second verse, same as the first--whee!
The Sarah Connor Chronicles - the glee continues to be epic.
That is all.
John is from 1999; I got my first computer 1998 if I remember correctly. I am now trying to remember the capabilities of Darcy and the changes that he'll have seen. Google I started using regularly in 1999-2000; it had a six week update window in March 2000 when I was tracking the XMMFF archive showing up. I was using IE whatever version.
...huh.
Cameron--remains awesome. I did like the codicil she had on following orders; not this John Connor, not yet, which makes me wonder what the programmed flip point is. Smart of him, too; fifteen year olds probably shouldn't have absolute command over extremely hot woman-shaped terminators.
Sarah Connor--still awesome. Not quite at Linda Hamilton's utterly kick-ass, why-the-hell-should-I-take-names place, but who does not love a woman with a gun?
Happy. Very, very happy. I like how they're setting this up, and letting them noticeably adapt to the new time. And I love that they've switched timelines again for all intents and purposes; the new timeline has a Sarah Connor who is still alive. Good thing. I keep thinking I need to watch all three movies (avoided the third) and track down each known change to see the shifts.
ETA: Hands up--who suspects Cameron isn't a Terminator model at all, but a John-model? Place your bets now.
That is all.

From:I'm all for continuing to avoid the 3rd movie, though the evil Terminator in that movie was female (which kinda makes some symmetry for the tv series rescuer Terminator to be female). I'm still disappointed, though, that the third movie didn't include John meeting a crusty old human soldier played by Arnold S who was the model for the original Terminator, which was my own personal possible T3 storyline ... what I can remember of it.
The tv series John doesn't quite measure up to the T2 John, who was my big inappropriate crush for that entire decade. But he's growing on me. And I'm starting to warm to this Sarah, who isn't anywhere near as crazy as T2's Sarah.
Cameron is love. She's fabulous - and the more I see her, the less she reminds me of River. Way to go, Summer!

From:Agreed to all; Sarah's awesome, and it's nice she had a chance to go down a bit from DEFCON DESTROY EVERYTHING IN SIGHT to DEFCOM JUST THE THINGS THAT LOOK DANGEROUS. And she's such a parent. I seriously love that.

From:That and my chemistry alarms are going off. I find it funny that the strongest piece of it was between Cameron and Sarah. I'm all for the usual m/m slash...but this is the first time femmeslash walked into my head. *laughs*
All in all? Looking forward to more--lots more.

From:I adored Linda Hamilton as well, but I'm finding that I'm seeing Headey's Sarah and her Sarah as sort of parallel. Like they're both the "real" Sarah, even though they're played by different actresses. Weird.

From:Also, you're right that there is a certain plausibility to Cameron not being a Terminator, I mean, the ones send by the computers all seem to go as adult male models, which probably makes sense for easiest to impersonate authority figures like cops and such, not as young women.

From:I've thought that since the Pilot. Might even be specifically designed on a real person future!John knows and loves. Girlfriend (though maybe young for future!John), or daughter?
Working theory in progress. ;)

From:I think what's different about Cameron is that she's a more advanced AI, and is sentient. Because the Terminator sent back to kill the 4 guys? Didn't recognise her. If she was known to them in the future, that would have registered. Also, I think that 4th freedom fighter is gonna pop up again and soon. Why else would they tease him like that?
I also think that FBI guy is on Sarah's side, ever since the robot thing happened in New Mexico. And now he has still-unaged-John to back up the time travel thing.
Also? Summer KICKS ASS. The way she mirrored Babygirl's posture? GENIUS. The fact that she sat there and was fascinated as Babygirl put make-up on her, and that she wore the make-up through the rest of the episode? AWESOME.
I want the fight scenes to not be cut so fast and handheld, tho. I want to be able to see what's happening. *is grumpy*
It took me ages to remember where I kenw Lena Hedley from. DOOD! It's Kitty from the Jason Scott Lee Jungle Book!!!!
