young John seems a lot kinder and more compassionate than his older self.

Very true! And John become the person who sent his father to his death just so he would be born. Because OMFG! Yes! I'm not sure how I feel about it because in the films the older John Connor was always depicted as someone who was this Messiah-like figure, someone who was GOOD, strong and so forth. And suddenly in the series they are starting to reveal bits about his character that I find to be rather manipulative; sending his father into the past to basically die, having all this knowledge that he tells no one, and now sending his uncle to into the past to die (?). I mean I understand why he need to do this but at the same time I see the John Connor of now who wanted to save a girl from committing suicide, and *WILD HAND GESTURES* it is just so damn complicated!

But yes, OMFG! I LOVE THIS SHOW SO DAMN MUCH!!!!!
