I loved many things about this show, but I am going to take away two moments that I loved perhaps most of all:
From season 1, Derek watching Cameron dance - the beauty of her dancing, which we know she learned from a woman whom she didn't lift a finger to save, and the look on Derek's face - disbelief and wonder and admiration all combined. It was gorgeous.
And from season 2, Sarah in the trunk of the car after Cromartie has used her to find John, weaponless, save for a Coke can, and yet still ready to fight a Terminator with nothing more than a Coke can to save her son. She was awesome!
Most of all, though, I think I love that SCC was the antithesis of the final message of BSG - where in the latter show, it didn't matter what anyone did, Sarah Connor and "Sarah Connor Chronicles" embodied the idea that there is no fate but what we make. And that's something that I passionately believe myself, so I loved that our characters fought for themselves and their futures and the future of the world with every fiber of their beings even when it seemed hopeless and doomed to keep trying. And that's really true of all of them, not just Sarah and John.
If you haven't seen sabaceanbabe's gorgeous SCC video "Mary" (http://sabaceanbabe.livejournal.com/203395.html), I highly recommend it!
