Soon, Hamilton will be back commanding the small screen yet again, finally getting the promotion she’s always deserved as head honcho General McCallister, who’s leading the charge to root out “little green men” in SYFY's new sci-fi/comedy, Resident Alien.

She’s also flourished in recurring roles as CIA mom Mary Elizabeth Bartowski on NBC's Chuck, and as Pilar McCawley in SYFY’s 2013 series Defiance, among a host of other steady work. Beyond slaying the silver screen, Hamilton landed Emmy and Golden Globe noms for playing Catherine Chandler in 1987’s Beauty and the Beast series.

From there she went on to star as Vicky Baxter in the 1984 Stephen King adaptation of Children of the Corn as Doctor Amy Franklin in 1986’s not quite legendary King Kong Lives (1986) and as Mayor Rachel Wando in Dante's Peak, arguably the best volcano movie of 1997. Granted, Hamilton’s been a genre badass since her feature film debut as Susan Swayze in 1982’s Tag: The Assasination Game. From being hunted by Arnold Schwarzzenger in 1984’s The Terminator, to defending her world-saving progeny alongside Arnold in 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day, to finally saving another would-be world saver in 2019’s Terminator: Dark Fate, Connor has proven herself to be one of the most durable and dangerous heroes of genre. That’s in large part, of course, to Linda Hamilton, who has chiseled out the Terminator franchise’s merciless matriarch three memorable times on the big screen (not counting voice work). Whether it’s in Eliza’s mind, or in Phillipa's mind, they’re both one and the same, which is beautiful about that moment.Sarah Connor is the rare action character who not only gets more and more badass as the years go on, but more and more interesting too. During her time on Broadway, she described all of the different ways fans have interpreted the gasp during an interview with AOL Build: "People are like, 'Is it Eliza going into heaven? Is she seeing Alexander? Is she seeing God? What is it?' And it’s kind of all of those things." Even while playing out this moment, she found the meaning behind the gasp to be different each and every night: "Sometimes, it’s literally, I look out and I see the audience, and that’s what it is, but I think, that idea of 'transcendence' is present in all of that. I do think she is seeing across a span of time in that moment." I think those are all valid and all fair. Whether that thing she's seeing is Hamilton, whether that thing she's seeing is heaven, whether that thing she's seeing is the world now. "It's heart-stopping, isn't it? It traverses time in some way.
"I think it's different for each Eliza," he told Wired. Right before Hamilton made it's way to Disney+, Lin-Manuel explained why this moment is so important - "heart-stopping," in fact. Some fans think the gasp symbolizes her death (the real Eliza Hamilton died at 97 years old, outliving the other characters from the show) others feel as though she gasps after realizing that she did, indeed, tell her husband's story. It's unclear exactly what Eliza sees, which leaves plenty of room for interpretation. But here comes the point in question: Once Alexander leaves, Eliza gasps in horror (or so it seems) with tears streaming down her face. It's only a matter of time." Then Alexander (played by Lin-Manuel Miranda) takes his wife's hand and guides her to the edge of the stage. After sharing all the ways she's honoring her late husband's legacy, she delivers the final line of the show, "I can't wait to see you again.

Ironically enough, the most poignant moment in Hamilton, a show full of fast-talking raps, songs, and dialogue - happens when nothing is said at all.Īt the very end of the show, the entire cast takes the stage to perform "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story," which is followed by a heart-wrenching monologue by Eliza Hamilton (played by Phillipa Soo). The final scene begged one very important question: Why does Eliza gasp at the end of Hamilton?.
