you thought i was punking you, didn't you?
Ha! No, but only because I unsubbed until I had seen the finale after I read your very first post - I didn't read the actuals until afterward.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Art Crawl!!!
Man, Derick!!!
And then - Sarah!!!
Although, not dead.
And the whole John Henry/JH's Brother -> relation to skynet.
I'm glad that they're bringing the threads back together.
And, I really wanted to see Cameron come into contact with the Shirley Manson character and recognize what she was.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
AUGH Sarah Connor.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
i'm really pissed off at the way they offed Derek. he ramped up so much of the potential for this show last season and this season they've consistently misused him and mislead us about his intentions. then we get that? fuck that. i'm pissed and i'm not sure i'll be all that sad if next week's ep is it.
BAG, you deserved better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He may have left under his own steam.

Actually, I kind of respect the way they killed him. It was sudden and shocking and just as he was (maybe) reconciling with Sarah, and after she'd shown him his brother's grave. I am upset and more emotional than I expected, but it was bravely done.
Hell of an episode. I cannot WAIT to see what happens next week. Only one more episode! Waaaah!

I love the look John gave Cameron before they walked away from the electronics store. Between Charlie, Derek, and his mum's arrest, he's a big boy now. He may be future John Connor in all but events transpired. If any of those people were still around, they'd be at least nominally in care of him. For the first time he has to be in charge, and there's no one to stop him.
And he's pissed off.

Oy. All that angst over killing Sarkasian is going to be nothing. I worry about Ellison surviving the next 36 hours!
And Weaver is such a wildcard! What's going to happen!

Compassionately intolerant
Though not guffaw-inducing, BAG's tag was Deep Blue Sea-esque.
Shockingly appropriate.
I'll miss that character but I agree that Derek was misused. Such a shame. BAG brought an A-game I didn't know he had.
It's an interesting shake up. All but one of John's supports have become unmoored. Lot's of story potential in that. I hope they get the chance to tell a good one.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Damn. Happened to catch the tail end of the first Torchwood episode on BBCA, and I got a pang about Owen and Yoshiko. Gonna miss them if they don't find a way to make them show up.
But a pang about Owen? Would have thought that UNPOSSIBLE based on that episode. And yet...there it is.
