And as I was watching the movie trailer, I was reminded that there's no way the movie can do justice to John Connor the character whom we've watched grow over the last 30 hours. Not in 2 hours. Can't be done.
The movie will be pale and thin and full of explosions and not nearly this good.
I'm thinking Marcus Wright, the terminator-who-didn't-know-he's-a-terminator, is going to pale in comparison to John Henry. (okay,the 'what are you? I don't know.' exchange still gets me, but I'll take my D&D-playing dorkdroid who loves his big sister.)
Yeah, I totally do not understand why Sarah would step away at that point. She doesn't know where he's going, and she doesn't know or trust who she's going with. Either she should have jumped into the bubble, or tried to get him out.
That said, if I squint my way past this (and the abuse of time travel: if it's so easy, why not send all the humans back into the past to live?), I think we get a fascinating storyline. Who is John without the burden of his reputation? What does it mean that Danny Dyson has been missing--and remember that Danny Dyson is now John's age, roughly. What purpose does Savannah have, and why was Catherine willing to leave her behind--has that purpose been completed
( ... )

Thematically, it's beautiful: just in the abstract, at some point she had to step back, as a parent and as John's guardian, to let him live his life and become his own person. And when she does that, by definition she won't know where he's going, she's giving up the control she's been trying to assert all season. On that level, in the context they put it in, it works for me beautifully; one of a number of touches that make it as suitable a series finale (if such it has to be) as season finale.

But I do have to say, because humph, that the rules of how matter passes through a time jump have stopped making *any* sense now.

Also, how come Cameron's body didn't go? The organic matter was still alive!

And I would trade the new movie for another season.

Can they both fit onto Cameron's chip,
Given the message, I assumed Cameron had moved onto the Turk's hardware, and John Henry had moved onto Cameron's chip.
