I thought this was seriously awesome. ♥ My favorite part was Cameron trying to make John understand that it wouldn't be her trying to kill him. Anyway, amazing story, thanks for sharing!

[arenotvalid]

oh, thank you!

I think it's really interesting to think that the cameron john knows is only cameron so long as her current programming is intact, and that cameron's chip could be damaged or reprogrammed and it wouldn't be cameron.

Ah WHOOOOOOOOOOOgah.

Talk about covering all the bases.

Very, very well done.

Really, really enjoyed this. Love your John voice.

Derek Reese does not like to watch television because there is none in the future and he does not want to miss it.

(There are televisions in the future. They just play Skynet.)

^ My fave part. *chills*

[arenotvalid]

thank you!

I liked the idea that skynet wouldn't let pieces of technology go to waste, especially since skynet is a piece of technology. and since televisions are going all digital, they would be able to do something useful for skynet.
and I really appreciate knowing what worked, so thank you for that.

I think my favorite bits of this fic were the Derek ones. They were mainly just glimpses, but very in-character and I liked that - it was a lot like the show is now. He just makes these offhand comments here and there and it makes you stop and think, coz he's the only human in their little group who's experienced that post-apocalyptic world that John and Sarah only wonder about firsthand. And ok I admit I just have a really soft spot for that character. ^_^

I like derek too, he seems very interesting. not at all over-the-top, just subtle enough to add an interesting dimension to everything.

I tried to put as much derek into the fic as I felt made sense, but I doubt that cameron and derek would ever be able to be close, so they have to keep their distance. and that can be a neat influence on cameron, but it's way farther in the background. I'm glad that as a derek fan, I was able to keep enough of him in the fic while still keeping him in character.

thanks for the comment.

Wow. That was really awesome. I love how in-character everything was. The nail polish idea was really cute too, as were all of the John/Cameron scenes (my favorites as I am totally rooting for them to get together). The whole BSG theme was interesting too. I was surprised to find that with as much as it was integrated into the story, I wasn't annoyed by it because it all tied in so well and was explained well, too. Great job.

[arenotvalid]

thank you!

when I saw cameron painting her nails in ep8, I figured that she had to have a system for it. and I'm really glad that the bsg stuff was integrated enough that it illuminated instead of impeded the fic.
and I really appreciate hearing about the bits you talked about, so thanks.
