thinking about how sarah connor was a girl who worked in a diner and wanted to go to a late movie because her date ditched her and kissed her pet lizard on the mouth. in a deleted scene from the first film, she tells her time-traveling warrior that when this is all over, she wants to take him to disneyland. buy him a hot dog. "i want it to be over for you." when we see her again, 10 years later, she's strapped to a psych ward bed. she's screaming of the end times, how everyone is already dead, there is no future. she's snapping at her kid until he cries, because he wanted to help her.

#nurse she's talking about the ramifications of trauma in media again #i love sarah. i love her rage. i love that she's the only hope for the future.#not just because she births the leader of the revolution- because she TRAINS him #the reason sarah has to live isn't so that john can be born. it's so he can be lead by her and taught by her.#he wouldn't have the skills he needs if she didn't have them first #T1 is a good movie but it would've been elevated by the deleted scenes tbh #especially the cut line where sarah says 'i want to buy you a hot dog so bad kyle'#it's actually heartbreaking to look back on after seeing how the truth breaks her and how kyle's death affects her #all of those things she wanted to do with him- she can do with their son. the world hasn't ended yet. but it's going to and she doesn't.#she won't even share his fries #ALRIGHTTTTT IM DONE TERMINATOR POSTING FOR TODAY #terminator 2 #sarah connor
