(Thank goodness for Weaver, and her ability to look for a solution that might actually be implementable. Because smash all the machines just isn't going to cut it.)
I don't think we really discussed this, because my response to the finale was mostly just !!!! flailing about in agog, but you've said things like this a few times and I'm not sure I buy what Weaver's selling. That whole John Henry isn't Skynet, he's Skynet's replacement spiel sure worked on John, but Weaver is a master manipulator and there are lots of signs that she's not in this just to end the war: Her rejection of John's offer in Jesse's timeline, her involvement in automating Serrano Point, the fact that she gives me the creeps, the way she disappears as soon as they go into the future, the fact that she deactivates Cameron.
This is one of many reasons I wish there was a season 3, but... I don't feel like we've seen all of Weaver's plan, and I don't believe that she's really the hope for an end to all of Sarah's never-ending fight.
