So, you know that thing with the Wizard of Oz you can't unsee once someone explains how it's actually Glenda the Good Witch who's the real villain? (Glenda blatantly endangered and manipulated Dorothy into killing Glenda's most dangerous enemy, while smiling. Ending up with the Ruby Slippers herself.)
Well, I saw something while binge watching the Terminator series that I can't unsee now.
The Sarah Conner the series follows was only the third one down on the phone book list of five Sarah Conners living in L.A. at the time.
What about the other two? Our killer robot Arnold, (a meat disguise does *not* make it a cyborg), never had a chance to deal with the other two Sarahs. I watched it twice, back to back, just to make sure.
So what we are watching is Red Herring Sarah Conner and her son John distracting Skynet while John Conner's actual mother isn't stressed to the point of madness like poor Red Herring Sarah Conner and her son were in later episodes. Both of whom would have near crippling PTSD by the time they were "needed by history" to save humanity. Now mind you, it's not even a technicality that the two red herrings contributed a LOT to the salvation effort. Just not what they thought they were doing.
And given the circumstances I find it unfortunate, but not actually evil, on tactician John Conner's part. (The circumstance being all of humanity going extinct if you don't do it.)
Thank you,
Stay safe, have a nice rest of the day peeps.
