Yeah, I have considered that too. It was at first my excuse for things going so badly, as Terminator has always been a hunter vs. prey story. But actually, while the dynamic changes without a hunter, there is still a lot of stuff going on, so the show doesn't have to suck just because they are not on the run. Good writters could make it work, instead they are jacking off and trying to figure out how to complete with Lost in the out of order story telling and bizare mysteries departments. It just doesn't work well that way as a show. Linear episodes like Friday's episode is the way to go, it simply works, no reason to mess with it.
