SCC: Born to Run -- now with actual discussion!

Apr 11, 2009 10:03

Some of this is scavenged from comments in various places, if it looks like I'm repeating myself.

I didn't mind them jumping forward in time, but -- when John Henry/Cameron or whatever is using Cromartie's body jumped forward, they landed in a future where John Connor was leading the resistance. When Weaver & John Connor jump forward to follow them, they create a new future where John Connor never led the resistance because he disappears from the timeline when he jumps. So the two jumps were into two different timelines, and -- okay, this is where my head starts to hurt.

I just love the possibility that John has no father in this new timeline. Kyle hasn't gone back in time! John can't exist! Except there he is! Fascinating.

Yeah, that's where I really need to reach for the aspirin!

I'm also really intrigued by the idea of Sarah without John to protect -- what she might learn about herself, who she might become.

It's interesting to read people interpreting the last scene that way. I took the "My brother just came back" bit to mean that Kyle had just come back from the past. Which--I have no idea whether that's anything like correct and on seeing these other theories, I can see how they would make at least as much sense...but until I saw them, these other possibilities never even occurred to me.

Huh. That didn't even occur to me. Because why would Kyle be sent to the past for any reason except to save the birth of John Connor? And they had no knowledge of John Connor.

Perhaps they've jumped to a future where John connor leads the resistance under another name! (no one seems to consider the posibility, but hey. It would be possible. *g*)

I'm still all psyched up! That was so full and awesome. *has just watched, belately*
