Man, after that finale, I would be extremely upset if Fox goes on to cancel the series like the rumours have indicated. Perhaps it is due to this pressure that the stroylines have been superb these last episodes. If this is indeed that las episode, there was enough closure on certain issues concerning the show with a small opening for fan fiction enthusiasts to write 'tl there fingers fall off. I certaintly became a big fan of the premise, the characters, and the actors. A lot of people, myself included, did not give this show a chance the first time I heard of it. However the show has done a great job of pulling me in every week.
A couple of nerdish thoughts at the conclusion of the finale...
I suppose the semi loss of the Cameron character and the re-appearance of Allison opens up a proper, non-creepy romance situation between John and a character played by Summer Glau. Hopefully, should the series remain, Cameron is not forever a chip to hold the John Henry program but is later returned as she originally was, a hot and dangerous fembot who is discovering what it means to be human. Plus, fembots rock!! LOVED that shoot out with the prison guards. BADASS cyborg bitch indeed.
OK, so we have been told since Terminator I that the world absolutely rests in the hands of John Connor. Yet we see now that having passed over the initial phases of the war on Skynet, a resistance has formed without John's involvement. Crazyer still is the fact that he is not known at all to any of the resistence fighters. Of course this doesn't take away from the notion of Connor the leader. Perhaps he can still lead them, all while using the knowledge he has gained as a result of his future self sending resistence fighters, as well as Skynet sending back their fighters, and I guess now my head hurts a little....... Maybe John Connor is now at a time to just before Kyle and later Derek were sent back, possibly by himself. Maybe he is now in the seat that the mythical Future John Connor once held. That would mean that his cultivation as a leader took not a couple of decades but rather the duration of the show.
What are Weaver and John Henry's role in all of this. It is nice to see sick, high tech killers kill on the side of good. Loved that scene where Weaver pulls a Terminator move on a Terminator sent by Skynet. What is SAvanah's role in all this and we was she still a target. Perhaps she was made known to her when John Henry was infiltrated. But that would mean that the water-jug cyborg was sent by a present day Calibo/Skynet meaning that bad terminators already existy in the present. Of course if the water-jug guy was from the future, that just leads to more questions surrounding Savanah and the Weavers.
Perhaps Sarah Connor and/or Elison and/or Savanah initiate the creation of the resistence in the present with John, John, and Weaver leading it in the future.
GOD I just adore this show. I would like nothing more than at least 2 more seasons. PLEASE FOX, the OC got four seasons and it remains the biggest piece of DOUCHbaggery on TV EVER.
