You have captured the Terminator universe precisely. I mean down to the last line. I had goosebumps as I read this, the writins is beyond superb. Not a single phrase out of place.
Honestly I don't know what else to say. Totally swept away by this. I love it. I'm reduced to short sentences!! By far this is the best story in ANY fandom I have read this year.... GOOSEBUMPS!

Yeah, I think it would be very difficult to do Terminator in third person, mostly because of Sarah Connor's tapes, but at the same time, I think the novelizations were in third person. In any case, I'm glad that it was seamless and natural to write it out that way :-)

I mean I literally screamed when I saw this, well actually more like a girlish squeal but all the same, I was utterly and completely thrilled.
Second off, god, I generally hate first person stories so I need to congratulate you on the fact that I feel in love with this to the degree I did. I also need to articulate that the way you've written this combines Terminator and SGA so well that they fit seemingly effortlessly together. It's stunning.
AND the last chorus just kills me, along with the last line. It's truly fantastic. I am now going to slink off in my glee for a re-read!

Between us fangirls (er... boy, in my case), remember that moment when Connor was interrogating Marcus? How their faces were barely three inches apart? Yeah... my friend and I almost got kicked out of the theatre at that point...

Well between us fans (girl, in my case), I do so remember that moment. I figured three inches closer and we’d have had one hell of a good movie on our hands. I’m really glad the theatre was pretty vacant when I saw it partially because of that moment actually. My friends figured catcalling at the screen would help shrink those three inches a little more, sadly it didn’t. And at least you didn’t get kicked out, otherwise you and your friend would’ve missed out on the slightly less homoerotic subtext and that would’ve been a shame.
