• OMFG! Riley dies. NOOOO! I mean I knew it was coming but I kept on hoping that she would have a good ending, but NOES!


• Cameron! “I only have 51% chance of killing you.” EEEEE!


• 216 - OMFG! JESSE! Just! JESSE! I LOVES her so very much!


• 217 - O.M.F.G. JOHN CONNOR. There you are!


• Jesse, JESSE! Why are you so AWESOME!


• John! Making a deal with the machines?! For peace or the realisation that machines have souls too, and the only way this can end is in peace is if humans and machines stop killing one another.


• JESSE was PREGNANT! And FUCK! Derek DOESN’T KNOW!


• John is scarily smart and really fucking scary.


• DEREK. NO! SHIT! NOOOOOOOO! Don’t shoot her!

GUYS! OMFG! GUYS! This is the John Connor I have been waiting for! Derek and him in the car, the way that John was in control for the whole conversation; just OMFG! This is the guy who is going to save mankind. That shot of him; sitting in the dark, hand on a gun, knowing all along that Riley was from the future; that whole conversation between Jesse and him, and then letting her go. Oh, and asking Derek about Jesse but NEVER blaming. Guys, guys, this is why people will follow and die for him in the future, this is the man who will send his own father into the past knowing Kyle Reese will die, this is the man who will attempt to make a deal with the machines in order to secure peace.

There is something amazingly fucked up and scary about a John who questions but never blames. Someone who doesn’t miss much, and while he didn’t out-right manipulate the situation near the end there, he definitely allowed Derek the opportunity to kill Jesse without saying anything. Hell, backtrack, and it is pretty damn scary that John would have accepted Cameron killing Riley without any major reaction beyond getting angry. Oh, and that last scene; John sitting between 2 women, his mother and the robot-girl who says she loves him. He looks towards Cameron but breaks down in front of Sarah. I don’t know what to say to the scene except it of fucking hurt.

Now to Jesse; oh, Jesse, so brave and so ruthless, attempting to do the right thing but having it fuck up. I’m glad you had your say, and I am SO sorry about your child, and the way Derek never knew the way you loved him, your child and a future that will never happen now. You were awesome, and I want to believe that you are still alive.

The future: so, the future can change, and it seems while timeline shifts, the people in the past still remembers a future that will never be. I’m not sure how I feel about this, though it makes me happy that no matter how much the future changes the characters will still remember their past. In relation to the future, so, John Connor, saviour of mankind wanted the machines to join him. Wow. Just wow. Just how much did Cameron and the other robots influence him? And is this the only way to peace? A world of humans and machines living side by side, this ought to be interesting.

Dear Sarah Connor Chronicles,

You are so beautifully written, so amazingly acted, and I may die if you don’t get renewed.

Please survive for a season 3!

ETA: I love the way this show depicts violence; the way violence is enacted upon women and the way women enact on the violence is done in such a way that the gender and the sex is completely removed. The fight between Riley and Jesse was so different because they didn't try to make it a fight between 2 women, it was a fight between 2 people who wanted to kill one and another. It was brutal, it was untidy, and there was no fetishisation of the 2 women fighting. It was all about taking the other person down as fast as possible, gender wasn't an issue. Just love it!
