This one seemed almost as ambitious as the pilot itself. Must've been expensive to produce. And Cameron collects another doodad from a terminator. What is she building? Is she evil? Is she under orders from future John Connor not to reveal her true mission?

Damn. My phone rang half way through that one. It was looking good too. I was really starting to feel the robot in Cameron that ep. Good acting. The future stuff was dark, but intriguing. I hear the next movie is going there. Wonder if that will work.

Did they say why the terminators let the freedom fighters go? What was in that music room? Had Cameron met the Reese boys in the future? What? You mean it's sinister what she's building with the spare parts? I thought she was just building herself a companion.

I think I missed a scene or two myself. I gotta watch again.

Not sure what was in the music room. I was wondering if the whole dungeon thing was just a training excercise hatched by John...to root out weaklings. Or maybe evil Terms put a post-hypnotic suggestion in their brains and let them go free (sleeper agents in among the humans). Maybe that was the music room deal.

Derek Reese (Brian Austin Green) discovers that there are "good" terminators, John has been reprogramming them. Cameron (in the future) does meet Derek and tells him that sometimes the reprogrammed Terms "go bad", and that they don't know why.

My suspicion about Cameron is because of that comment, and because she's so secretive about her collecting. She went out her way to explain to Charley that every last rivet of a terminator must be destroyed whenever they encounter one. Maybe she's a total free agent, planning something to protect or "perfect" herself.

Sarah made Cameron swear to her that she wouldn't kill Charley, who's a bit of a wild card at this point.

And Derek did in fact assassinate the chess computer guy, Andy Goode, he lied about that to Sarah.
