I'm not spoiled but I don't mind; what else are you pleased with?
Summer Glau is another regular on the show, and I adore her character's interactions with the Sarah character. I feel like she calls Sarah on some of her crap and keeps her from being so single-minded and disconnected. I also am 'shipping them, so there's that. :)
Overall, I'm just thrilled that there is an action TV show which has 1) multiple female protagonists 2) who carry on conversations with each other 3) about something other than a man. You know, the Bechdel test. There has been little on my TV since Buffy which passed this test.
I really like Sarah in T1 because I think the whole film is really about her growing as a person and coming into her own.
It's been years since I've seen T1, but from what I recall, she spent a lot of the movie needing to be rescued. I prefer my movie heroines to do the rescuing.
I must have blocked out all the "be motherly" crap, because I pretty much just internalized "be a badass " as the message of T2. ;)
The SCC is sweet because it's got such strong female characters having pretty much all the agency; the whiny teenaged boy is the one who starts out needing rescue and hopefully will learn from these women what it means to be a warrior...
