I really, really, really liked this series. It took me one episode to begin a love affair with characters I could not relate to in the feature films (although very RAD movies) and I would recommend Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles to anyone that was a fan of T1 &/or T2. The ending to this series was a good one. Here we have a show getting canceled with a cut budget and writers that made it work out well and held on to continuity while leaving the viewer with some story avenues to explore with imagination.... (don't strain yourself). Some people may have explored the possibility that this was actually the intent for the storyline all along. From what I understood, however, John Connor was around for the initial attack by Skynet as told in the features. Some may guess that this is now an "alternate time-line", one in which John has never been the leader of the resistance because he leaps forward in time and therefore was not around during the beginning of the war. I tend to follow this theory as it makes more sense in my head. Also, they touch on alternate time-lines a bit on in a few of the 2nd season episodes. John's never been in work camps or seen any real combat in this time-line, so I wonder how his future will play out. He may actually still become the great leader he's lived to become, anyway. I guess it's true after all, there really is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I do hope he gets Allison...
