We thought the hot sex scene between John and Cameron would involve . . . .
Hot Sex.
Instead, we got some demented version of second base.
John suspects that Cameron's nuclear power source may have given his mother cancer. Just to be safe, Cam makes him get on top of her and check her system. Sounds kinda hot in theory right? Nope. Not hot. John cuts through her robot skein and jams his hand up under her breast plate to check wheter Cameron's nuclear core is leaking radiation. That's not sexy. It's like a metal mamogram.
Ewww. John kinda likes it. Gross.
Another upsetting thing about this finale? Most of it made little to no sense. Last episode, Cops caught the uncatchable Sarah Connor by following a former FBI agent (a trained lawman) to a clandestine meeting. This week a priest (with no black ops training) is commissioned by Sarah to get John and his robot girlfrined out of L.A. The good Father is somehow able to deliver messages and produce passports. It's amazing. They spend most of the hour hemming and hawing over Sarah's cancer, and Cameron's metal boob, and the passports.
Then, then, in the last ten minutes of the episode, after Cameron miraculously breaks Sarah out of jail, loosing half of her robo-face in the process, the Connors head off to their meeting with Shirley Manson's terrifying cyberqueen character Katherine Weaver. But Katherine's a good guy now (maybe?). In a series of nonsensical mindfucks, Shirley shields the Connor crew from a robo plane that flies through her office window (although, the pilot of that plane seems to be inexplicably connected to her). She explains that she's protecting John Henry, the robot baby in the basement, saying that he will eventually save the human race. And she and John follow her robo-baby into the future, a future that has been changed by their actions. Biggest presto-chango? Nobody in the new future knows who the F John Connor is.
We can get behind Shirley being on team Humanity (sort of). We're definitely behind John's new found anonimity. We can even get behind Cameron giving John Henry her chip for the good of homo sapiens everywhere. But why did Shirley allow Cameron hang out with John Henry in the first place? And why would the Cameron/John Henry robot leap into the future? Why not stay in the present at least until Mama Connor, Johnny C, and red headed cyberchief come downstairs?
Bizarre. It's all bizarre. But at least this guy's back in the picture:
Something good had to come out of this mess. The Notorious B.A.G. never lets us down.
