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.

I love the show so far. I'm still waiting on the torrent for ep 2 at the moment. But the OMG KICK ASS with GUNS is soooo good. It's just wins it all. Sarah was probably my favorite character in T2 and this lady doesn't quite get the full 'you're all so fucking DEAD!' batshit crazy nothing to lose bit that made Linda Hamilton so so cool when i was 13..She's still got that same level of fire and steel.

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.

*nod* It's like she lowered her defcon level down for a couple of years, more YOU WILL DIE rather than DIE NOW.

And yes. Cameron just works perfectly with both of them. It's amazing.

Huh. When you say that - you know how Cameron said that John sent her back to the best warrior he ever knew? Maybe he built her for the both of them. *g*

Well, to be fair, she's in a more stable place at the start of the series than at the start of T2. She's not locked up in a maximum-security mental hospital potentially being molested by guards, she's raising her son and he believes her re: the whole end of the world thing (as opposed to in T2 where he's in foster care, she has no contact with him, and even if that were allowed, he thinks she's a nutjob). And she's in a long-term relationship with a boring-but-nice guy who treats her and her child well. Granted, she's also lying like a rug to said guy (and under the circs, lying is by far the wisest course unless she wants to end up back in a padded cell), but all in all she's starting from a much more stable baseline than she was in T2. So I can buy it. Besides, you can have a character sustain that kind of DEFCON level (to steal from Jenn's description) over the course of a 2.5 hour movie, but for an episodic TV show, I think it'd be a bit much.

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.
