I can not imagine Sarah Connor in snow gear in Wyoming and I can not imagine Derek sitting in a small town diner, fitting in, even when he's under cover. And yet you made me imagine both of those things rather successfully.


“If I fuck up. Don’t come for me.”
“I won't.”


This is what makes your Sarah and Derek work so well for me. They might take advantage of having the house to themselves for a few hours, but you never let let them — never let us — forget what they're about.


“Based on your recent history, I have calculated an 80-90% probability that injuries will be incurred before the completion of this mission.”

heehee. Good ol' Cam.


She looked up at him and saw her own guilt mirrored on her son’s face.

“We fight or we die, John,” she said, when he pulled away. “And I’d do it all again.”

his eyes were hollow, and she wondered how long he’d been having the nightmares for. Even as a child, he had never cried out when the monsters hunted him in his sleep. Being out here, with the monsters practically next door, was obviously taking its toll.

That whole scene between Sarah and John is just beautiful. I love the emotional connection there and how she sees his guilt, recognizes the nightmares in him and shares her strength.
