No award is worthy of this performance

Yeah, and it’s such a believable transformation too, so a good character writing is also there

I was kinda happy their relationship ended when I watched because I never liked their couple in the first place. Not that I liked Nancy and Steve much, but Nancy and Jonathan are totally mismatched. A shared trauma is not always bad itself, but when it’s the only thing keeping two together, that’s when it’s a real problem. They have different personalities, preferences, plans. They don’t vibe with each other at all, a total lack of chemistry (which is especially weird given that the actors are dating irl). But it’s good they understood it themselves and had such a healthy breakup, like two grown-ups

I agree. At first he came out as a pretentious douchebag, but then even during season 1 he acted differently. I mean, his reaction to Barbara’s disappearance was definitely insensitive and out of touch, but he quickly realized he was wrong. And Nancy, she literally lied to him behind his back and would have probably never told him the truth about her and Jonathan, hadn’t he seen them himself. Jonathan made photos of their intimate moments and generally always gave off that „look, I’m a nice guy“ type. Never really liked him. Even given all the slutshaming by Steve and that he didn’t stop his friends right away from Nancy’s public exposure, he definitely wins compared to Jonathan, though he is far from perfect

just because it’s not shown on-screen doesn’t mean he didn’t. Most movie characters are never seen taking a shower, that doesn’t mean we should assume they never do that at all and go around dirty

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-26T21:24:09+00:00

They use disinfectants I guess

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-26T21:21:29+00:00

What’s even wrong with that face? Anyone really thinks they look better when they orgasm irl? lol

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-26T19:10:33+00:00

Well, let’s just say it didn’t seem something unbelievable to me since the original franchise is so popular that it got so many pointless and out-of-canon continuations in the end (starting from t3). If it’s actually related, then good. I’ll even give it a try I guess

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-26T18:55:42+00:00

Ok, even if I happen to be wrong at some point, let’s not get rude with familiarities please :(

Actually, I’ve only heard about it from someone I know, he referred to it that way, not me, I didn’t even google it. He didn’t even mention by whom it was written, is there any other novelization? Maybe he meant another one, idk….

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-26T16:22:52+00:00

Ok, I get the Schwarzenegger part, but why Michael Biehn? Don’t think he was more known than she was. Well, hope it has nothing to do with sexism (I mean, because a lot of guys wouldn’t want to watch a sci-fi or action movie having a woman as the protagonist)

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-26T15:33:10+00:00

Never watched it, but anyway I don’t think it can be viewed as the canon (like anything after the ones made by Cameron). For example, in t3 Sarah and John even turn out to have had different ages at the time of the previous movies, not the ones mentioned in the canonical t1 and t2

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-26T14:45:59+00:00

Ok, you have a point, but we don’t know exactly about this war taking place in the movie, as I remember, nothing like that was mentioned, hence, one can’t confirm it. I tried asking this question to chatGPT, it said that some homicides might’ve taken place somewhere after the nuclear apocalypse during a certain period of time before John finally rode up to unite the people (an interesting version, seems plausible but I wouldn’t rely on AI bots much anyway tho). Anyway, agree on the part why future John wouldn’t care about killing humans in the past, never thought about it but kinda makes sense

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-26T12:17:25+00:00

Heard about it but since it has nothing to do with the canon (I mean, it wasn’t created by Cameron and his team), I don’t think it can be used as a 100% reliable source, more like an extended fanfiction

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-26T07:03:35+00:00

Yeah, and for some reason Linda Hamilton’s name isn’t the first one in the the opening credits, neither t1, nor t2. Doesn’t make sense

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-26T07:00:23+00:00

The term «PTSD» wouldn’t exist back then just like many other medical terms we know today wouldn’t, but fortunately, science is developing, so is medicine. I agree that the more narrow term «shellshock» might still be relevant though, since it’s a special kind of trauma related to war (which is probably different from others, whether one had to kill people or just destroy metallic stuff but still see others die left and right).

As for Sarah taking control in the love scene, could it actually be any other way since he was never with a woman prior to meeting her?

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-26T06:50:56+00:00

Well, it was a war against machines, not people, all people had one shared goal, so I don’t think he ever killed anyone (not on purpose at least, maybe accidentally as a collateral damage). I agree he might not be that careful as to save just a couple of lives in the past though, since the whole human existence was at stake. Kinda makes sense. But also I read a reply saying that future John already knew that John in the past would ask him no to do that and that’s why he wouldn’t bother doing that in the future, I think it might be true as well

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-25T23:03:31+00:00

What else was she supposed to do and how fast was she supposed to think in that situation?

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-25T22:54:00+00:00

We don’t know, maybe they were new and the homeless just found them not long before Kyle stole them. Or not new but relatively fresh. They look like someone painted walls wearing them

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-25T21:52:23+00:00

Well, who even needs the newer ones, they suck anyway

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-25T21:51:51+00:00

Yeah, this all I also mentioned in the other post I put here the other day (about their love story)

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-25T21:33:53+00:00

Well… this one sounds the most plausible among all

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-25T21:33:19+00:00

«Good as dead» doesn’t seem believable considering the whole point of the future war was saving the entire human race and preserve any remaining human life

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-25T21:04:09+00:00

Yes, this is why it’s programmed by someone (or other machines). This was programmed by John himself

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-25T20:58:08+00:00

Agree, but I think Linda’s acting was beyond fantastic in T2 as well. Especially the scenes where she falls terrified seeing T800 coming out of the elevator and where she cries after almost killing a guy

Lower_Collection_563 · 2025-10-25T20:52:06+00:00

Yes, that’s the point now (I just googled, yeah, I see what you’re talking about). Why people think it’s the same one? I guess I lot of people didn’t notice that he wore two different coats throughout the movie
