Typos abound at 5am (which is late night for me — I'm east coast). I think I live in the wrong time zone or something.
So are you the same Gary who posts as Gary on the official blog? If so, I saw that note you wrote to me on there yesterday. Also, I applaud your efforts to battle the dark side ;)
I've never read the Wizard of Oz so I don't know how much it differs from the film. But based on the movie, the one problem with Sarah being the wizard is that it would also kind of imply that she's ineffective — that she'll fail. That plays more into the idea that John's fate is sealed and only he has the power to change it himself.
John obviously does share that power with Sarah because he works along side her to stop Skynet. But I don't like the idea that Sarah can't save John from his fate. I hold strong with the idea that future's not set and it could go either way.
