[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] Ok, after watching stuff like The Wire. The Sopranso and even BSG I'd say I'm quite used to non-linear narratives, plot points that don't necessarily go anywhere (often for years, if at all) or seem relevant, and so forth. So why does TSCC seem like such a mess? Is it just me? Because right now it feels like the creators just do not know where they want to go. The first season, well, it often doesn't seem fair to judge the show based on it because it was so curtailed, leaving very little room for filler. In fact it worked to the show's advantage! Lots of little snippets that might develop into intriguing plot-lines were laid out. But since then it's been all over the place. Losing the high school arc was no great loss - it hardly makes sense for John's education to be so important, especially when there's a lot of other more useful stuff he could be learning. But all of a sudden that's dispensed with (Cromartie checking school records seems almost to have been their foreshadowing of it - why have JC go to one place every day?). The introductions of Jesse and Riley were both rather abrupt but at least they managed to delay the reveal of any connection between them for a while. But now a lot of that's been knocked on the head (I'm sure more could be revealed about who else in the future shares Jesse's ideals). They almost seem to be retconning some stuff - John knew about Riley? Sure hid that well. And Sarah didn't kill that security guard despite all evidence to the contrary - in this particular case, it's almost like they decided later he was still alive, and edited already-filmed material (poorly) to reflect that. Now whatsisface, Paramedic, has been brought back just to be someone NOT Derek or Cameron (who had their own subplot this week) who Sarah could leave John with, and then get killed. They ran out of ideas for Cromartie, but arranged this weird way of keeping the character/actor on (and couldn't even kill him in a believable scenario). I wonder, if Judgement Day is "inebidabull," then Skynet is inevitable, but the form it takes varies. Perhaps then the T-1000s have decided to tinker with time, and get their own Skynet, but with beer and hookers (in fact, forget Skynet! )? Hence when John Henry revealed to Weaver that transmnission from the place she then attacked, she took the action she did to suppress a rival for the future mantle of Skynet, rather than to plug a leak in her own organisation.
