Ew. Does FOX's marketing department recruit from sex offender registries? Because, ew.

interesting observation from a poster at TWoP:

for all we know, she's been manually overriding her 'kill John Connor' programming this entire time, and the explosion merely interfered with her ability to control herself.

and

John didn't fix the chip. I don't think Cameron was "fixed". She just went off the script at the end. She is no longer Terminator-reprogrammed-as-protector, but rather Terminator-who-chose-to-be-good.

Which, upon rewatch, I know they stretched out that "promise" scene for tension, but maybe there was more to the delay in her promising. She immediately says no, before the command to terminate appears, but won't promise until after the command is overridden. Like she didn't *want* to kill John, hence the "no", but couldn't promise until she'd made sure she wouldn't bump into any unsavory commands.

at least she's got arm(s) and a gun to defend herself this time.

I also noticed that before Weaver fully morphed from urinal to her human form, when she was still all silver she had a rather large rack that would never have fit inside that white jacket.

Well, Joss Whedon never had any intention of exploring (unsouled) vampires' "humanity" either (or so I swear I remember reading back in the day), but it happened anyway.

somehow i doubt that or he never would have created Angel to be a sympathetic character from the get-go.

I actually agree with Friedman. not having Cameron evolve and become more human would be a lot more interesting for me because we're never really shown that in tv or movies except when the robot/ai lifeform/whatever is "bad" and killed. i'd much rather see him take her in the direction of choosing to be good, but not for human reasons.

he cited the Cylons as a perfect example of what he didn't want to do.

Feh.

(What is it about the current crop of SF-TV show creators that makes them prone to insulting other perfectly good SF on TV? Is the genre so ghettoized that even people MAKING SF ON TV think that all SF on TV is crap? Yes, David Eick, I'm looking at you. Most of your fans also watch Stargate.)

Err, that's why I added the parens with "unsouled" in it.

I don't necessarily think he meant it as an insult, Jessica. just that he didn't want to explore Cameron's humanity the way that BSG had humanized the Cylons. he wanted her to remain a robot in a human world and what that entails.

heh, Frank. ignore me. that's what multi-tasking will do to a girl.

I don't think he meant it as an insult either. I'm pretty sure they're big BSG fans over there. (One of the writer/producers is Toni Graphia, who worked on BSG.) Like tiggy said, I think he meant it more that BSG had already done that with the Cylons, so he wanted to do something different.
