While I would love to see more Derek (what can I say, I would like to know more about the future and future!John), I am totally with you in appreciating how women/ females (Cameron is now excatly a woman, you know..), and I agree that Sarah should be the central figure. But that is somehow exactly why I dislike John being at the forefront so much (if the action does not include Derek): Sarah being the central figure should somehow, IMO, be explored without John sucking up all the space. I know, John is the messiah, and all, and that Sarah's task is teaching him/ keeping him safe, but I really feel that Sarah can be explored without giving John so much weight and airtime.
As for Sarah being a lightweight... What can I say, Linda Hamilton is still my Sarah Connor, and that was a very different character from LH!Sarah. Sarah is not a lightweight compared to others, but compared to LH!Sarah.
And also, I could be way off the mark here, but Derek, to me, does not scream alpha male, rather someone who was thrust into position of authority/ responsibility, and grew to handle it. More of a beta dog, really. That's also a thing I would like to see explored more: The dynamic between Sarah and Derek, in terms of what needs to happen for John to be ready.
