Terminator: Sarah Connor (T1 and T2)
Sarah Connor is one of the most iconic characters in the Terminator franchise. Star Wars has Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda, and Obi-Wan Kenobi (among others). Terminator has Sarah Connor, John Connor, and Kyle Reese. I will be talking about Sarah Connor as she is presented in the movies.
In The Terminator (aka T1) Sarah Connor is a waitress down on her luck. She goes on dates and has a roommate that listens to music even when she is having sex (in my opinion, this character is about as rememberable as Arnold's Terminator character). Change is brought into Sarah's life when she is chased by a Terminator and rescued by Kyle Reese. While with Kyle, Sarah learns that she is the future mother of John Connor (leader of mankind/The Resistance) and will become a kickass woman. Things happen and it leads to Sarah and Kyle having sex, figuring out that Kyle is the father, and Kyle dying. When Kyle dies Sarah changes.
In Terminator 2: Judgment Day (aka T2) we get to see this changed Sarah. Now she starts off in an insane asylum/mental institution. She is in there because she's been blowing up buildings and warning people about Judgment Day (the day when Skynet causes the end of the world). She is still in love with Kyle and hasn't forgotten about him as we see her having at least one hallucination with him. In this it's shown that Sarah has a deep connection with John as she is angry that he risked his life to save her from the T-1000 (with MAJOR help from Arnold). Sarah debates about leaving Arnold with John (as she feels that she isn't that good of a mother) and figures out that she has a hard time killing people (as she fails to assassinate someone who has spent major time and effort on research about, and recreation of, Arnold from T1, though I blame her failure more on the fact that the man's kids come in). The movie ends with Sarah and John driving away (as Arnold died, AGAIN) and Sarah thinking about the future.
This leads perfectly into the tv series (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, aka TSCC). Another blog post will be about Sarah Connor as shown in the tv series. I must make note of the fact that the branch off between the movies and the tv show is here.
aka In the movies Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines comes after T2. While, in the tv series, TSCC comes after T2.
