Plus there's one flaw that I never counted on for the show: if John Connor is supposed to be the leader of this rebel alliance against the machines, then why the hell does he need to be escorted around by his mother and a future-born proxy mother? He's a grown man who keeps on bitching and whining about his situation but in the end, this is a TV show about a man who needs two mothers to stay alive. I can see how it can be empowering for the ladies, but it makes John Connor look like the biggest douches imaginable. The fact that he keep sending stuff back in time and messing with his own personal history makes one wonder why he simply can't send legions and legions of his own people back in time to make a direct assault on Cyberdyne over a few years to finally destroy the problem once and for all.

I think its solely because the first ( future ) John Connor couldn't get pussy. He's just trying to "help a brotha" out so to speak by giving him a lot of oppurtunities to nail some metal poon tang.

At this point in the whole Terminator mythos, we really need to think about what the future is really like. Personally, if I had a chance to be the lead writer for a show like this, I'd pull all the stops at the season (possibly series) finale to play a game of mindfuck. I can see it now....

For some reason, all three of the gang need to get to 2029 for some really important reason. As they do, they travel in time and then reappear in a sterile white room full of cubicles. In the corner sits an older John Connor, about 520 pounds, covered in blood and stuffing his multi-chinned face with greasy and cheesy nachos. On the ground next to him is a severed head, a machine gun, and a bullhorn.

Outside? A few dozen SWAT officers.

It turns out that the 'dark future' of Skynet was destroyed at the end of Terminator 2. However, the future was changed into an everyday life where John Connor still has delusions of grandeur that have turned him into a pathetic WOW addict that has no real life. No future what you make, but sadly the end of the world was the only way he could ever fucking have a successful life. Without that, his mother just twisted him up by 'teaching' him all these subversive things for absolutely no reason. His life is just completely fucked up. And now, he's just gunned down his entire office where he subsists as a middle manager hellbent on ending his life the only way he knows how: suicide.

Of course, this means he gets to shoot his younger self so he never existed in this state. So, in the last few minutes of this episode, he guns down himself, his mother, and the hot terminator and everything goes to pitch white.

Roll credits.

See? Now THAT'S disturbing!
