So if Cameron remembers exactly where she was built in the factory/fallout shelter why didn't she know where the metal was going? I don't know if I like this selective memory of hers. I know it's for suspense and the story line but this could be a potential problem in the story consistency department.

Yeah, I dunno. The plotting/time paradox stuff is always gonna be a complete mess.

Cameron knows a certain amount of "history", but then her own interference in the here and now would seemingly start to change all the events she recalls anyway.

That's why I think the theme of the show is going to be everything Cameron changes the machines will adjust to keep the history the same. And in the end what is the key piece/event to break to stop the rise of the machines?

This is crazy, but when I saw Cameron stashing that little block of metal I thought to myself, "is she going to build herself a baby?"

Ooh, that's creepy. A baby terminator.

Not sure. They still have to prevent Skynet from going online I guess. They eliminated that dude's chess playing supercomputer...that doesn't seem to have changed anything yet.

On a side note, I loved how badass Sarah was this ep. Pummeling that scummy security guard guy, leaving him in that minefield. The sound editing on this show is good. The punches sound great :)
