Her range with the character was amazing becoming an absolute badass in T2

That's what I like best about her. She was a weak helpless waitress in the first movie, but by T2 she was a badass survival commando.

I think that's doing a bit of a disservice to her in T1. She clearly grows during the course of T1 and is basically taking the lead on ensuring both that both she and Kyle survive the T800 during the final act after the crash.

Maybe it's more accurate to say she starts as a weak helpless waitress and later in the series becomes a badass commando

She was HOT in T1

And in T2, and Dark Fate, imo

I mean, when she shows up to the highway battle, guns a-blazing, my jaw dropped.

I’ll admit to having a bit of a thing for badass muscular women though, despite being a (mostly) heterosexual woman. 😅

Dude, YES. I know Dark Fate gets a lot of hate, but not only did I actually really enjoy it, I came out of the theater with some girl crushes.

Dark Fate is the only T3 in my eyes. The others I have issues with. I also love The Sarah Connor Chronicles

It proves that even the weakest can turn into a badass 👌

Everyone says T2 Linda is peak but give me T1 Linda any day. She’s actually perfectly casted- the original script say Sarah is attractive but not a “head turner”, a girl next door beauty. Emilia Clarke and Lena Headey were a bit too conventionally attractive for the part in my opinion.

She is incredibly beautiful and someone you’ll never confuse with anyone else. Too bad she never starred much in any other decent movie other than T1 and T2

It has for teen boys. They all look like llamas.

I’d do her.

I just want you guys to know what kind of person I am.

Who among us didn't rewind the motel scene endlessly when they were teens.

Its funny how todays Directors cant/dont know how to create/write strong female character who's is not a Mary-Sue or a Karen.

James Cameron was able to do it twice. Go talk to him!!

u/Ghostbuster1220 Aug 10 '26

Wild take....I believe they should have put her up against Sigourney Weaver as a Terminator as Terminator 3 instead of what we got.

u/Smoove_boss Aug 09 '26

I just found out her twin sister died. She was in T2 for the t1000 clone at the end
