while watching "Terminator Gaiden: Sarah Connor Chronicle" at the end of the second season episode 22, I am full My mind is always the sentence in the middle school language: "It's out of the silt but not stained, and the ripples are clear but not demon." What does that mean? In such a lackluster episode, it is incredible to be able to break out such a dazzling end of the season. But "Gai Chuan" did it, so that all T fans who had loved and hated finally had the same reason to make the same voice: "We want the third season"!

—————— The following serious spoilers, but it’s okay for comrades who are not interested in making up lessons to take a look.——————

Starting from the 18th episode of the second season, the plot began to really pave the line for the end (this seems a bit Mouthful), since the beginning of the second season, the questions we have been having have slowly been answered. For example, what is the meaning of Riley's existence? Are Jesse and Derek still from the same future? Does Cameron have "human" feelings for John Corner? What is the purpose of Catherine Weaver? Is John Henry on the human side? How does James Ellison influence the future? These questions can basically be guessed without watching the last episode. The key is to see how the last episode shakes out these known burdens and adds new highlights and doubts. In this regard, episode 22 did a good job.


[Keywords: "I'M SORRY, JOHN."]

I bet that without the TERMINATRESS of Cameron, the rumor would lose more than 50% of the audience. I admit that I was also looking at Xiao Q (the origin of this nickname is rather trivial, you can google it if you don’t understand it) and John’s relationship story to see the spread, not because I am a T fan-to be honest, if you stick to the T fan In terms of identity, you should basically ignore this somewhat sissy rumor. In the first episode of the second season, the small Q program had a problem and wanted to kill John. At a critical moment, he spit out the "core sound" of "I LOVE YOU". I had a foreboding that Xiao Q would die in the end and would utter the truth. Sure enough, she took the initiative to hand over her chip (which can also be understood as life) to John Henry, leaving the screen full of John Corner's words: "I'M SORRY, JOHN." Seeing this moment, I feel sad. , Remembering that she had watched John sleep peacefully in front of the bed like a damn before, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The love between man and machine" is the topic that is the least explored in the rumor, but it is the clue that worries us the most. It may be difficult to say whether this relationship is even considered a "love". John's feelings for Cameron are still very sensible and restrained, but who can understand the subconscious attachment? John is a tragic hero. He learned from his childhood that he shouldered the heavy destiny of saving all mankind. He could only depend on the world's toughest mother all day long, but the other emotional needs in his life could only be poured out on the machine. : The father in his life is Schwarzenegger's T-800; the love in his life is Cameron. If anyone is dissatisfied with John's trustworthy machine in the future, I will let him also taste John's lonely childhood, and see if he dare to stand and talk without backache!

As for Cameron’s doubts, it is basically resolved: Cameron is the Terminator version of John’s lover after Judgment Day (the girl who ends after his father). Cameron uses this identity to assassinate John (do not rule out this possibility) ), the result was captured and transformed by John, and he became John's confidant to follow the human resistance army, and at a certain point in time was sent to protect John in his youth. The phrase "I'M SORRY" was Cameron's core voice, and perhaps it was also something his lover couldn't say after being captured. It's sad! Did John transfer his affection for Cameron to his future lover, or did he transfer his affection for his lover back to Cameron because Cameron had a lover's skin? This may be the most complicated love in the world. This love transcends life and death, time and space, iron and blood, spirit and flesh... It is simply the most alternative interpretation of the word "fate". Understand this level, who can not be moved by it?


[Keywords: "I LOVE YOU, TOO."] The

last shot of episode 22 is the last ray of light transmitted to the future. The last sentence of Sarah Corner that John had not heard at the time was transmitted: "I LOVE YOU, TOO" is the "I LOVE YOU" John said to Sarah before answering. At this point, John and his mother have been separated by decades of time debt, which is the most difficult distance in the world to cross. It can be seen from the title that the story of Gaiden is narrated from the perspective of mother Sarah. If there is a third season of Gaiden, it must be cross-edited through John’s future after Judgment Day and Sarah’s past before Judgment Day. Interweaving and influencing each other, if the story is well woven, it is definitely more worthy of study and play than the time-space structure of "Lost".

Needless to say, in the Terminator's worldview, the relationship between John and Sarah is the most praiseworthy of all poets. Sarah interprets the great connotation of "mother". For her, John is the son first and the savior second. But in the end, John left Sarah because of his feelings for Cameron, and went to the future alone, which is the end that all mothers must face. Let us pay tribute to all mothers. Maternal love is undoubtedly the most sincere and selfless love in the world. When I watched the third Terminator movie, the scene that moved me the most was not the return of Arnold, but in Sarah's coffin, there was a large amount of ammunition for her son. In the third season, we can look forward to how Sarah will lay the foundation stone for her son in the future for this love.


[Keywords: "WILL YOU JION US?"]

This is a question John Henry asked Cameron, and it is also a question Jesse recalled in the future. John Corner once asked John Henry.

Judging from the current situation, John Henry is on the side of mankind, and in the future will help John complete the cause of mankind's resistance to Skynet. This will be a very interesting proposition. The harmonious coexistence of humans and machines may re-discuss the issues raised in The Matrix 3: Revolution.

It can be seen that the evil terminator that appeared in the last two episodes had a mission to destroy John Henry instead of John Corner. I even guessed that the terminator did not even know that there was a key person named John Corner.

Regardless of John Henry's position, Skynet's role must be evil. Sarah told the priest in the last episode that she does not believe in religion, but she believes that there is evil in this world. The interesting thing about the rumor is that it has been holding onto the religious theme. This seems a bit strange and far-fetched to us, but it seems that 90% of Americans are religious. Taking this into account, the rumor relies on this theme. To attract the audience is not difficult to understand.


[Keywords: "YOU'RE NOT MY JESSE."]

This line is what Derek said to Jesse in episode 19, and it raises a very interesting and somewhat scary issue: In the Terminator worldview, is the concept of "parallel universes" welcome or not? Many fans are discussing that this is a parallel universe and they come from a different future. I at least have reservations about the term "parallel universe". There is still a difference between "parallel universe" and "change the future." I have enough reasons to think: In the world of Terminator, the future can be changed, but there is only one future. What does that mean?

Of course, discussing space-time travel is meant to break away from the limits of our current physical knowledge, but the story of the Terminator starts from the movie. Time-space travel is the core worldview and is an inescapable topic. T1 follows a strict and regular space-time structure, which will not change in the future. T2 put forward the view of "NO FATE", Sarah, John and Schwarzenegger's T-800 took the initiative to eliminate the possibility of Skynet's existence. Since T2, the space-time view of the Terminator World has shown an open attitude, but it has not been open to the level of accepting "parallel universes". I don't understand quantum mechanics, but I know that the basic point of the so-called "parallel universe" is that the universe can divide and coexist infinitely, and God's free will is singing. But if we insist on borrowing the "parallel universe" to explain the story of the Terminator, then this epic will become meaningless, because there will be an infinite John Corner to save countless futures, and we can only focus on one of them, which is obviously not The story that any director of Terminator wants to tell. The principle of the Terminator is: the future can be changed, but there is only one in the future. The future Skynet sends Terminators to chase down Sarah and John in the past, not to give other Skynets a chance to survive in the parallel universe, but to directly enjoy the future without John. If the principle of "there is only one in the future" is not grasped, and there are multiple or even countless futures that can coexist, the story of the Terminator will lose its meaning.

We have all seen railway changes. Think of the rumored story as a railway. Every transmission that never comes to the past follows the previous future, which is equivalent to a passenger going to Beijing getting off the train at a certain station and then taking the return journey back to the previous station, and then boarding. The next train to Beijing. But once there is a transmission from the past to the future, or a key point that changes the course of history appears, it is equivalent to changing the track, and the next train is changed from going to Beijing to Tianjin. This train is still a train. But Beijing is no longer the terminal for it.

Specific to the story of the rumor, I have reason to guess that the future has changed at least twice, and there have been at least three versions of the future. The future version 1.0 will die with the space-time transmission at the beginning of the first season, and the future version 2.0 will follow. The time and space teleportation that ended in the second season no longer exists. If there is a third season, it will be the ending of version 3.0 in the future.

There are actually at least three Dereks. Derek 1.0 was the first to return to 2007, when Jesse 1.0 had not yet come back. Then Cameron led Sarah and John to 2007 and changed the course of the future. Because according to Cameron's future, Sarah died of cancer before 2007, so this year 2007 is no longer Cameron's future. The future changes because of this time, so the future of Derek 1.0 no longer exists, and Jesse 2.0 is naturally not the Jesse 1.0 that Derek 1.0 recognizes. As for the second time and space leap in episode 22, John came directly after Judgment Day, so the Derek we met here is not the Derek we previously knew. The original future no longer exists, and it is changed to the latest future 3.0. Version.

If it is in accordance with the term "parallel universe", then Derek 1.0 may still see the Jesse 1.0 he knows, because his 1.0 version will not die in the future, and Jesse 1.0 may also come back, which is obviously not in line with the director. s story. The Jesse we know is actually Jesse 2.0, and what she knows is Derek 2.0, which also ceases to exist with the temporal and spatial transition of the ending. When Derek 1.0 meets Jesse 2.0, can we still expect them to be harmonious? In the end, the Derek we saw, the Derek who didn't know John Corner, was Derek 3.0.

So, the key question is, which version of the protagonist John we have been following? According to my algorithm, it should be John0.0 version. In the future version 3.0 that appears in the ending, John has not yet existed. This John0.0 is exactly John3.0. He will lead the resistance army again through fate, and then send his father Kyle back to 1984 to protect Sarah and create himself.

How is it, are you dizzy?

The only thing I don't understand is, why didn't such NB's burden be shaken out earlier? !


——————The end of the spoiler, summarized as follows——————

In short, the ending of the second season of "Terminator Gaiden: Sarah Connor Chronicle" is exceptionally wonderful, saving the horrible and boring story before. But whether the third season will be cut by FOX is really hard to say. If every episode of the rumor can be so profound, complicated and beautiful, then it will bring us surprises no less than "24 Hours", "Lost", "Desperate Housewives", thus becoming a reliable longevity drama. Unfortunately, in my eyes, Riley's destiny, Jesse's character design, and many branches that have nothing to do with the main line (such as Sarah's search for three points) are all too failed, which greatly reduces the amount of money in the rumor. Had it not been for a small Q, I would have lost patience a long time ago.

However, 2009 is the real new year for T fans, and T4 is enough to make us forget the regrets caused by the innate deficiencies of the rumor. The John Corner played by Christian Bale is definitely not like the one in the rumor. John Corner in our minds is a tough guy who fights ghosts and gods from heaven and earth!
