Sarah Conner could have hunkered down, raised her son, and come out from her bunker after the bombs fell. But she didn't. She took on SkyNet head on, and wasn't content to just ride out the storm. She wanted to save everyone, and was crazy enough to try. That makes her a bad ass.
Don't forget her partner in crime, Sunny Balwani, whom I belive shared equal responsibility for this fraud but stayed off camera. If these two don't deserve to go down for fraud what sort of a disaster of a world are we living in? It also blows apart this arrogant ideal that Silicon Valley disruption can be applied to all areas. This isn't an app or a website anymore, they are programming cars to drive themselves that also runover human beings. A reckoning needs to happen. People need to go to jail.
Two thumbs down indeed. I was thinking some thoughts along these very lines last night. Why do we have so much violence against women in our entertainment - isn't it enough that there is so much in real life? Now I get to watch it in entertainment? Yipee. I bailed on a whole seaon og GoT and the Asylum season of American Horror Story turned my stomach. There is a a need to talk about violence against women in media, but often in films and tv its just done for shock. Gross.
Ditto a thousand times. I remember the dissapointment and being bewildered by the adoration I saw in the crowd at the theatre. What a dud. I was really annoyed by how the wasted the potential of the Area 51 plotline. I was expecting some revelation there, like maybe an advanced ship from another alien civilation that had a weapon to wipe out the other guys. Anything would have been better than an alien from the same invading group giving villain monologues.
