I loved Brain Austen Green as Derek, and the way Sarah wasn't precious around him -- she just ripped open that shower curtain and told him off -- the fact that the character had no ego about taking orders from a woman, that he would brush his teeth for 20 minutes, that he wanted to know where his brother was laid to rest and was put "in the grass" with him, and that he took John to meet baby Kyle.
I loved Sarah's transformation and conflict this year about whether she wanted to hold onto old Sarah, the waitress, or if she had to fully let her go and become more like Cameron in order to protect John, because being willing to sacrifice her physical form but not her emotional or moral one was not getting the job done.
I loved how John finally started to embrace that he WAS John Connor, as opposed to wanting a new identity in season 1, I loved how John-Henry was both fascinating and creepy as hell all in one scene, I loved Jesse's arc, and how much presence James Ellison had. I loved that Cameron kept secrets. I LOVED THAT I RESPECTED OUR SHOW, even when it broke my heart.

And thank you for pointing out the growth in our characters--the show producers seem to have been very clear on the trajectory, emotionally, for each of the main characters.
I loved how the show made me think about situations in multiple uncomfortable ways, and that it didn't try to tell me which one of those ways was the RIGHT way. And I loved the Kyle dream, and how Jonathan Jackson just cries on cue. Also, I love pancakes and am going to have some right now.

Oh, yes, she's such an awesome vidder!
think about situations in multiple uncomfortable ways, and that it didn't try to tell me which one of those ways was the RIGHT way Yes. I personally found that that resulted in me being able to be 'in' multiple characters' perspective simultaneously without feeling weird about it. Whereas on a show that is itself more biased textually, I find that I end up forced into a particular character or side in response (not always the one the show favours--my underdog predilection comes out!).

I loved halcyon_shift's vids, both released and not yet released.
