WTF TSCC - The Intro

[roxybisquaint]

I was working on another WTF TSCC video when that generic narrator from the early season 2 opening titles popped into my head. The thought of that voice saying "Sarah Fucking Connor" amused me, so I made a little clip of it. That caused mission creep. I set aside the video I was working on and decided to have more fun with the intro. Since I'd

I hated that intro…until now; LM*beeping*AO!

What makes it funnier is ironically it makes more sense than the “Opening for Dummies” the original was.
I also especially liked how you found a clip of John with the dumbass look on his face, “oops” indeed.

+10 POINTS for the Scooby Doo reference!

Pure win. :)

Yeah that intro never even made sense. I remember being very relieved when they dropped it after a few episodes. I had a good time slicing and dicing it :)

And I would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!

LOL! :D

Blahahaha! That's too *bleep*ing funny!

So *that* is what you've be up to...

Thanks for the chuckles.

I guess the intro has been one of those things that I've either mined for clues, or suspended disbelief over. I mean, could JF have really been f*ing stupid enough to say that *Skynet* sent Cameron back to save John Connor? WTAF!?

That being said, I can't support the abuse being heaped on John. Only Season 3 will reveal if he truly deserves this kind of abuse.

I REALLY liked your first f*ing montage...

The key to parody is exageration

[roxybisquaint]

The season 1 intro was actually the one that said Skynet sent Cameron back to protect John. It would've a huge spoiler given away right at the start, which I doubt they intended. Despite that flaw in the wording, I thought it was a decent intro.

The season 2 intro just sucked all around. It didn't make much sense because it presented John as the main character with Sarah, Cameron and Derek as supporting players. Oh hi, audience, you're watching the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Let me introduce your main character: John Connor. I don't know anyone who liked it.

I didn't intend this little video to be a statement on John Connor, though. I was just having fun. But since we left the series with John ditching the fight against Kaliba/Skynet to jump to an unknown future to try to retrieve a cyborg he'd fallen for, it made sense to me to make him be the one who causes all the destruction. If I'd had more dialog to work with, I might've heaped a hell of a lot more abuse on John! >:D

My brain is running in several different directions about this. With a 17-year-old in the house, I can assure you that "Yes, the world DOES revolve around them": their safety, their education, their struggle for control. Even when it's about Sarah, raising the Future Leader of Mankind, it's very much about John.

Still, you're right: John arriving amid the ruins of Zeira Corp, amidst a band of resistance fighter, means he *did* screw up, and no-one left behind was able to stop Judgement Day. So Sarah screwed up too.

If there's any possibility of fixing that, he needs to go back and set things right, or send his "pawns" back to do it.

Where was I? Oh, yeah, falling asleep. Sorry.

S3, post-BTR, is surely the world where John will put to the test the concept of whether a human (Alison Young), can ever really be replaced. Or whether he can *prevent* her from being replaced.

LMFAO! Holy shite girl you're hysterical. That was absolutely great. I literally laughed out loud at the end there.

I had a feeling you'd enjoy that :)
