The Terminator saga has always been hyperfocused on Sarah Connor and her son, John. Admittedly, there’s a good reason for that: the former was destined to give birth to the latter, a potential savior of humanity who would deliver a post-apocalyptic world from robotic domination. There is no future without either character, and while the Terminator sequels have had fun exploring and subverting their importance to the franchise, the series has long run out of things to do with the Connors. If this story is going to evolve, it may be time to move on and explore a new corner of the world.
