I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I missed a whole bunch because my downstairs neighbor was informing me that she can hear me waking up at Oh-my-god-it's-4-fucking-30-in-the-morning. I think I saw a blonde chick.

I so did not expect to see that past exchange as text.

Curses not having a dvr any more.

It said something like "John Connor: Terminate"... "Termination Override"

Okay so she was telling the truth or is being more devious?

HOLY SHIT.

Yep, she's new.

So they skimmed over which one of them killed that dude at the beginning, right?

Okay this is a good episode. I liked the end. I liked Cameron and John.

He cut his hair. He's not fooling around anymore.

Was Derek mentioning something about how her model had tricked someone in the future by pulling the "but I love you" schtick? I'm thinking that in any case, it's meant to be ambiguous. Was it the bad terminator with enough programming to pull a last gasp like that, or did the truck sammich knock her circuits back into the alignment of Good? I'm thinking the former, if only because of her final plea to Sarah to not let John save her after she went bad. Being aware of her own potential danger to her protectee would seem to rule out begging for mercy from said protectee after trying to kill him. Unless we're into whole new Terminator territory with emotion and self-preservation over-ruling protocol (the protocol being John Connor's preservation). And we're back into the land of the United States of Ambiguity.

also, that was me assuming you meant the truck sammich scene. I was quite convinced during her final scene with John that she was sincere, not only because of the "abort termination" command, but, as Matt said, if her purpose was to kill him, she would have killed him.
