the fencing scene looked like an illustration by example of Echo's speech from the opening scene.
I couldn't appreciate the symbolism myself because I was just constantly cringing and saying "They should be wearing fencing masks! They should be wearing masks! They'll have an eye out!"
that sex scene that wasn't really a sex scene
On RPGNet there was some debate over whether that was the least sexy sex scene ever, or the most sexy vivisection scene ever...
the idea of breaking the myth of John Connor the Messiah with a future where his name meant nothing to nobody
Although this could still, theorietically, be where it begins... John Connor became the leader and inspiration of the Risistance when he helped Derek and Kyle escape from a labour camp, didn't he? Maybe that's about to happen now, only John is rather younger than we all suspected...
I didn't realise until thinking about it later that night, but the reason the character Summer played was petting the dog in the final scene was to prove she's human, not a Terminator - Allison not Cameron, in other words. Nicely subtle.
I wonder if installing Cameron's chip in Cromartie's body means that John Henry IS now Cameron in terms of personality?
Sadly, I've a feeling we'll never know. :-( Unless the T:SCC team decide to copy Joss and write Season 3 as a comic book. :-)
