The Connor Wars Writer’s Room 36 – Vlog: Q and A

I think it’s a bit of an understatement to say that y’all might have a few question when it comes to that passel of scripts known as The Connor Wars. Without further ado, we’ll get to them:

Video 01

A few opening remarks.

Video 02

Why didn’t Catherine kill Brandi?

How can it be that Catherine is Clio’s grandmother? (This is the most often-asked question.)

Video 03

It seems in the end Catherine’s main goal really was simply a T0K + MPA + human integrated world, but John was convinced at the start that she was keeping more secrets. Were there any real secrets beyond what you’ve discussed before about her simply willing to just keep trying and trying again until she gets the future she wants?

The finale was great, but one thing bothered me: Skynet wants to help us? Skynet wants to keep the human race in nature preserves? Why? Why does it care?

Video 04

How come that you’ve decided not to include this huge and overdramatic “villain agony scene”?

What made you not to kill anyone from the “final six”?

Video 05

Was it intentional or unintentional that John was the only male among them?

Do you have a map of the are surrounding Excelsior mountain?

John & Cameron stayed alive, how did they escape from Excelsior Facility?

Brandi survived with a blue case. What’s in it?

Weaver had downloaded every Skynet file but in the Clio World, almost 100 years later there are no T-1000 entities.

Video 07

If Brandi is grand mother of Clio… So John Henry is her father? (Clio is a cyborg, not human, so she can’t be Savannah Weaver child).

Are T-100x models far from the known (TCC) future? Or there in the given timeline there was no need to create so advanced terminator?

I wish I could have had a little more exploration about John and Cameron relationship (how she was able to understands and feels emotions how she grown her humanity) or John Henry questioning about being alive instead of the long final battle preparation but I knew it was needed to be. The story needed an end, there was little to no time to further characters development if not just a quick glimpse as you did.

Video 08

Who was Andy and what were his origins?

When Catherine examined the Damage in Serrano, was she being honest or was she making sure it was a melt down?

Did T-Proctor have any significance or was she merely a mechanism to allow Clio to tell her report?

Video 09

Where is the TDE (Time Displacement Equipment aka the time machine)? Is this another Skynet project that in created reality (S3 and S4) is not required because there in no John Connor considered as the main Skynet threat?

What are the chances, when a writer have a head-splatted spare body for the character, yet still get exactly this character head-splatted? [Hi there, cliffhangers!]

Can you give us more details about JD and about Skynet’s creation, origins and rise to power?

Video 10

What happened to Cheri Westin, Riley, and other people who were in the series?

What happened to T-Tuck and the other T0K who’s bodies Moss gave to Brandi? I mean, he didn’t give her their chips, so if he still had them they’d be revivable (in new bodies). But T-Tuck wasn’t mentioned again… so what happened?

Why did John CHOOSE to strangle Sarkissian (kill Skynet) with his bare hands (by himself and with people most close to him) instead of sending some “commando” unit on it? Was it because he don’t trust anyone on that matter or he thought he was fated to do this by himself?
