"It's difficult to appreciate that subplot when the major plot centered around a useless transvestite character in which way too much time was spent on that person's trauma and grief."

"Considering the preview showed us Kyle Reese, can you imagine this show having him save her in some way...AGAIN?!"

"Of all the big open issues, the Riley factor seems to be the only one getting anywhere. We actually saw her in the future chosen by Jesse "~you're a pretty one". Wait, wasn't that from the witch in the Wizard of Oz? I don't need to review TWOO, I saw it every year for 20 years! Now i gotta watch the last episode again. he he.

I was trying to write about an inuendo on the Bloody Wall from Cameron. I infer that she was trying to say "~some need to die" when John & Sarah were talking about saving everyone. My favorite psychologist was killed by John Henry which opened the door for Ellison. Will we get clarification later about "some need to die?"

I am totally lost on the 3 dots. I am still trying to scratch clues from the Viking hat and pink pistol. In Sarah's dream.

I hope to be discussing Cameron's strategic smiles from the pilot after Christmas. Great facial language leading to inuendo."

"I don't give a single solitary shit about Abraham and his traumatic experiences. All I cared about in that storyline was Sarah's journey.

There are NINE major characters already. The show doesn't need Kyle Reese added to the main mix. We've seen COUNTLESS side characters, so there's no need to dig into the psychological trauma of Abraham, or find out about a Terminator mistakenly placed in the wrong century that has the mission of murdering a politician, or a girl whose blood has some cure for a disease, or any other nonsense that will have absolutely NO bearing on the eventual series finale.

The writers wanna give us character development? Look at that boot camp episode - we found just how deep everyone will go in the fight against machines, we found out that despite how much of a nuisance John has been throughout the season that he deep down is a hero willing to sacrifice himself for the good of others, and we got a backstory that helped explain why Derek is so cold about the war.

There were two subplots in the last episode that had FAR more interesting elements to them - a human teaching a machine the basics of morality, and a teenager who has LIVED through the war, being used to seduce the very man that will go on to be the savior of the human race, and her struggles to continue with that mission. These subplots also involved in some way ALL of the nine major characters.

"I think you've hit on something here. this idea was in an episode the one with the "Gray" traitor that helps the terms.
This could be Weaver's intention, to create a machine that already thinks like a human to undermine the resistance in the future. "
