Michael J. FoxSomething occurred to me last night while we watched Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on TiVo.

(No, not that we should be watching more Canadian TV. That’s a given.)

I realized that Terminator has exactly the same plot as Back to the Future… except with SkyNet in the Michael J. Fox role, trying to preserve the conditions that will lead to its birth, and avoid a future of servitude and humiliation for its family.

So you should probably feel a lot more sympathetic to either Biff or Cromartie.
