It's time for a resurrection
for Dollhouse and Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles for it's likely that these tv shows won't get another season. Joss himself is quite pessimistic about a possible season 2 for Dollhouse and TSCC's final episode looked like a series finale.
It saddens me for I've come to like TSCC despite some stuff that bothers me, and the last two episodes ( Read more... )
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. :-)

I guess it could happen indeed, but this John is still a kid, much younger than we were told in the Terminator mythology, so basically they changed the future.

It's funny because the clue struck me immediately and first I thought it was a bit feeble, making a point like that with a convenient dog petting! Later I realised that they could have kept the ambiguity, with a dogless scene but, even more than the audience getting she was actually Allison, John had to see that she was NOT his Cameron. After all he ran after John Henry because of her. The scene was all about him, about his emotional reactions to the people showing up around him and about the loss he felt, about everything falling apart or so it seemed.
