Nice. I liked Rodney's perspective on John (Connor) - he's not wrong*, but at the same time John can hardly help the way he is when a whole bunch of people have split off who knows how many parallel universes pretty much for the sole purpose of telling John humanity's fate rests on his shoulders.

Poor bastard.

*I always wondered why no-one in the resistance ever tried to develop their own, friendly version of skynet. Admittedly, after everything they lived through they probably couldn't even conceive of such a thing. But if future John can reprogram Terminators and send them back then why not track down a few hotshot programmers and send them back to make sure that the first sentient AI is programmed to *like* humans. Spider Robinson had it right - true artificial intelligence is probably inevitable, but why assume it will be hostile?
