Sure we don't know where John Henry went with Cameron's chip and John was been transported to the future where no one seems to know who he is but I see this as a setup for a sequel series or a series of movies (or comic books as has been eluded by some entertainment blogs).
I would like for the series to continue though so we can find out what's going on...
- Who is the weaverbot and why is she fighting skynet?
- Did Miles Dyson's son actually create Skynet? (was he in Terminator 3?)
- Where is John Henry?
- What are Elisson and Sarah going to do now?
- What are the dynamics that thrust John to be in a leadership position now that we know that he did not survive J-day (like terminator 3 says), but skipped it altogether?
- Will we see Arnold? (I hope so!)
- Will we see the original Cromartie? (I hope so!)
- What's the deal with the human Cameron?
The one thing that people are complaining about is that the series is now disjointed, there is no straight line to follow. Well, if you change something in the past, the future changes! If the future changes, the present will seem a little more chaotic, no?
I am hoping for a renewal!

Video Game Fridays: Terminator 2 (GB)

In the game you start off as John Connor in the future. You start off trying to infiltrate Skynet's fortress so that you can get your hands on a T800 and send it back through time. Once you do that, you play as the T800 protecting John Connor's younger self.
The game was great and it sucked you into the world, one problem - I disliked puzzles back then (with the exception of Tetris). After you infiltrate skynet, you have to play this set of puzzle games to reprogram the T800. I kept failing in the last puzzle and eventually got booted back to the beginning of the game - frustration!
It may be good revising this game at some point in the future

I am a big Terminator fan, that is why I am happy
this series is coming back
for another season!
I initially approached this series with skepticism, but it ended up being quite good! My reasons for being a skeptic were that I really could not see anyone other than Linda Hamilton taking over the role of Sarah Connor, and the idea of a high-school-aged terminator T800 was laughable (at the time).
Well the show has made me a believer! The action is great, the story line is good, and it essentially keeps you in suspense throughout the season. One of the things that was not answered in the movies was the origin of skynet. I know that in the third movie we wee the military makes skynet, but did this mean that it was fate? That skynet would be built no matter what? Or could the future be changed? As the season went on we saw a number of various possibilities as to the origin of skynet, and as one by one they got eliminated, you kept wondering just who and under what circumstances, made skynet.
I look forward to the new season, and to the recap of the first season starting August 10. I really hope that the Reese family is explored more, and we see more futuristic shots. I also hope that they tie in the third terminator movie. I am all for time paradoxes and alternate timelines, but I really do want some sort of tie in.
