>>213107060The best thing about Sarah Connor is she's still half crazy as a result of legit trauma, people not believing her and pumping her full of drugs and shit. She's driven to do what she's gotta do, but she's still a woman and barely holding it together for the sake of John.
Her totally flipping her shit in this scene is fucking awesome after we just saw he being so competent:

The way she doesn't even hear or see John until he shakes her loose is perfect. There's more context in a cut scene where she's having drug-induced dreams and just wanting to be a Mom. So she wasn't even sure herself if she was trippin' or something. Works either way, but better raw without it because you can see how half-fucked in the head she is and it reinforces that.
That's why the rocket-launching total girl boss cunt in 'Terminator: Woke Boogaloo' doesn't work at all, even though they got Hamilton back.
T2 Sarah Connor is great because she's so mind-fucked, yet you see how quick she gets her head back in the game despite dealing with totally crazy shit, and having the occasional little psycho meltdown. Her autistically checking John for bullet holes is still one of my favourite show-don't-tell moments. Bitch is legit half crazy at that point, and legit woman style crazy.
