Yeah, no, not really. Like I understand why people do ship it but I don't because SHE'S A ROBOT. It'd be like shipping Sarah with Uncle Bob in the second movie. It's never gonna happen and if it did, gross. Riley bugged the crap outta me. They should've moved her story line a little quicker, instead we had to suffer through the minutia of teeny-weeny-angsty-wangsty stuff. Blech. John, I like. He can do tortured teeny-weeny-angsty-wangsty all on his own thankyouverymuch. We have no need for a girlfriend. I always wanted to see how John Connor got to BE JOHN CONNOR and I think Dekker did a good job of that. He really gave John someplace to go emotionally so he'd get over that teen phase pretty quickly. I was hoping to see him really start with the leadership and charisma thing. That's the BIGGEST thing I missed in s2 when they got rid of his dopey friend Morris. You could really see WHY people were drawn to him in the future BECAUSE of his charisma, charm, appeal, kindness etc etc and not just because they're the last of humanity.
It's the freaking studio executives.that frak everything up. They're all about making money not artistic integrity. It's a shame that everything must filter through them in order to get to us, the loyal fans. If only money wasn't the thing that made the world go 'round... *sigh*
I dunno. I'd rather have 13 solid stories over 22 craptastic filler episodes kinda like how I'd take BSG's crappiest episode over 14 years of junk. However, Leverage got 2 extra eps this season so we get 15! YAY!
