Derek or Kyle?

I feel sure one of the Reese boys will jump back in time to Sarah's present, but I go back and forth on which one.

If Kyle came back, there would be this sort of awesome T1 role-reversal. She'd love him, but he wouldn't know who she was. She's willing to die for John Connor, but John wouldn't be of any significance to Kyle. And Sarah is certainly not the same foofy chick she was when she first met original Kyle.

If Derek came back, things could be just as interesting. We don't know what *this* Derek is like, but I'm sure he and Sarah would still clash deliciously. And I tend to think it makes more sense for Derek to come back. John's already spent plenty of time with uncle Derek, but he's never spent time with dear old dad. Now's his chance. Also, Kyle, Allison and John in the future together is such a great bizarro version of the Sarah, Cameron and John we had in the present.

So who's it going to be? Who's going to eventually step into the time chamber and head back to the present where Sarah is?

Kyle. Always Kyle.

Had to add a vote for ma boy Derek ;D

I would love to know what they had planned for Nu!Derek, and to see Sarah and him starting afresh with a clean slate - with all the mental angst and confusion that would create.

Kyle, less so. I like the character, I like the actor (not keen about those lamb chop sideburns!) and him being in Sarah's life again would add some excellent angst for her. But, I don't feel like we know him anymore and I'm not all that interested in getting to know him if it comes down to a choice between him and his snarky-assed big brother.

Sarah's not Kyle's Sarah anymore (which is interesting in its own right as a plot-point) and I wouldn't like the inclusion of him into the show in a major way, to regress her character any. If that makes sense.

I wouldn't say no to all three of them playing out together, that'd be fun. But in a choice between the two, I'd go for Derek.

Yeah I think I'm partial to Derek coming back. Part of it is that I don't really feel that same attachment to Kyle that I do for Derek in the series. He's a recurring character not someone who's head we've ever been in. Kyle has been background angst for a long time and it could be weird to mess with that. On the other hand, they already did by letting John meet him in a very different way than the story we know.

Okay, here's what I really want: season 1 Derek. If I can't have him, then I'd rather have Kyle. Season 2 Derek was so preoccupied with Jesse that the tension between him and Sarah got turned way down. It was moments of tension every couple eps, rather than a power play with on-going tension. So gimme back the good stuff with Derek or let's forget tension and go for angst with Kyle.

Hope for Derek. Iam pretty sure, that if Kyle would go back, half of the season/movie would be only about Sarah's and Kyle's mutual relationship. And I really don't want that.

That's a very convincing argument. I should've voted for Kyle ;D
