vaznetti | In the future, my son will get a haircut...

Spoilers for the last two episodes under the cut.

In the future, my son will lead mankind in the war against Skynet... if he can get his hair out of his eyes. Damn you,

musesfool! Damn you! You have corrupted me!

So the theme of trust and betrayal was laid on pretty thick here, hunh? But it worked: since there's nothing to decide between Cameron and Derek, except by their actions. Either one could turn on John and Sarah, and there's no way of telling what is more predictable, programming or blood.

I really like the way John and Cameron form a kind of unit -- the way they conceal information from Sarah and Derek, together -- even as they disagree and misunderstand each other. And I also like the way Sarah and Derek don't form a unit.

I could watch Sarah Connor beat men up all day long, I think. But I kind of had to cover my eyes during the impromptu brain surgery. Sorry: peeling back the scalp is not my thing.

OMG! the second hour! How great was that! Derek! And Derek and John! And Kyle! And OK, I guess I like Derek now, having not really thought that much of him before these two episodes. I loved the way the plot (or rather, the plots) all built to a series of conclusions.

And oh, Ellison. The filming of the attack, from the pool up. That was amazing.

I meant to have more intelligent comments, but then I started flailing. And now I am going to sleep.

And finally, Cameron! I mean, I know that being blown up in the car is not going to stop her, but it will burn away a lot of her skin and all that, and will be awkward. (How much did I love the exchange by the car, with John's friend? But Cameron will need her skin to go to the prom.)

Fox! Renew this show! Please!!!!!

"But Cameron will need her skin to go to the prom."

Things you never think you'll say.

I worry about that kind of thing!

Dude! The second hour thrilled me so much I stopped snarking about John's hair. I didn't even remember to bitch about it in my post.

But Cameron will need her skin to go to the prom.

bwah!

I know -- it made my comments in the first hour, but as you can see I don't really have comments on the second hour, aside from incoherent flailing.

Just when I had decided to hate Derek, he was just amazing with John at the park. And what he said, about seeing Kyle in John every day? Best moment of the show, except, maybe Derek and John sitting in the car while the women kicked butt.

I wish they hadn't blown up Cameron, though. She's my favorite character.

Well, I think we know that car bombs aren't enough to stop a terminator, so it's not like Cameron is actually gone. But she might be all metal now.

I was all set to hate Derek too, but he knew! He knew and he never said anything, and he gave John the best birthday present ever! And now I have to like him.

Yah, she might be all metal, or look like someone else! I want the Summer Glau Cameron back!

as i just said to

musesfool I used to think. I did. Right now, I'm pointing the tv and making high pitched squeaky noises.

And yes. The second ep pretty much made me a Derek fan. The thing with John in the park and himself and Kyle. God that broke me so hard.

I know -- what wonderful scenes! I didn't think Derek could be subtle, or kind, or anything like that! And there he was!

Seriously! I didn't think he was capable of that. Now I'm in the "when did he realize?" mindset. If he'd known all along. If he realized it when he opened his eyes and saw young!John looking at him. Gah. And I'm supposed to be thinking up a challenge subject for

scc_flashfic but I swear this has broken my brain. I just *LOVED* that moment so much. It's a major emotional kink of mine and they hit it PERFECTLY. (Also, I am slightly unnerved by how well Brian Austin Greene played that scene. I'm never going to adjust to the fact he's become a good actor, am? *G*)

I am still flailing!

::flails::

That was a great finale. The shots of the pool were astonishing. And they played that moment in the park just right.

I hope it comes back. Derek is my new Terminator Asshole Boyfriend! ;-D

Those were such amazing episode. And I love, love, love that scene with Derek & John (and Kyle!) in the park. I already thoroughly liked and enjoyed the show, but that's the scene that did me in. Whoosh.

They had better renew this show.

That scene really raised the show to new emotional heights, I thought -- and in a completely unexpected way, as well. I love the entanglement of past and present and future, there.

I am also full of flail and want renewal!

Ouch Cameron will be all metal now!

That second hour is so excellent. And also, skinless!Cameron will have a hard time buying a prom dress. Pink WILL NOT MATCH HER BLOODY EXOSKELETON. \o/!

And also, skinless!Cameron will have a hard time buying a prom dress. Pink WILL NOT MATCH HER BLOODY EXOSKELETON. \o/!

I guess all she can do is hope it's a year when metallics are in fashion!

OMG such good television!

Cameron was to the girl from Carlos's place as Derek was to the little girl from Sarkassian's place (or: as Sarkassian was not to John Connor) as Cromartie was to Ellison.

Just... well, like you said. ::flail::

LOL

No idea what you're talking about, in the sense that I only managed yesterday to see an episode of SCC (I think it was the second ep) and I really liked it! Summer Glau and Dean Winters :D
SO, I will catch up with it and then I will know what you're talking about ;)

*waves*

I am avoiding your actual post, as I have not seen the ep yet, but your subject line just slays me.

I blame

musesfool for drawing my attention to the fact that John Connor really needs to get his hair out of his eyes.

In the future, my son will get a haircut...
