Line 80:
**** The same episode has Cameron saying that she was built in a Skynet factory along with other Terminators. I think it's safe to say she's a Skynet model - perhaps a prototype or a later model to explain why the other Terminators don't seem to recognize her.
* Well, the sixth episode pretty much confirms she's a Skynet model; Reese from the future also pulls a gun on her the second he sees her, and both the Tech-Com officer and Cameron herself confirm that she was controlled by Skynet until she was reprogrammed. She also apparently does have some kind of close ties with John Connor, as she's the one who leads Derrick to the time machine.
* Why is it no one calls out [[Squick]] with Hideki and Chii in [[Chobits (Manga)|Chobits]]?
** Manga/Anime fans are more used to this sort of thing.
** ...plus she's programmed to die if she has sex.
Line 146:
== Cameron is a copy of River. ==
The machine rebellion is why humanity had to leave Earth-That-Was. However, there are machine spies in the Firefly system. One of them spotted River, and Skynet realised it would be a good idea to base a perfect killing machine on someone who was already a perfect killing machine.
* Alternately, Cameron ''is'' [[Firefly (TV)/WMG|River.]]
 
== The John Connor we know won't become the rebel leader. ==
Line 284:
They planted it there. Honestly, it's like the laser sights of their cannons.
 
== The Three Dots are those of [[Superman: theThe Animated Series|Brainiac]]. ==
He's trying to add a Kryptonian-free alternate Earth to his collection. Since interdimensional travel is expensive in today's economy (like I have to tell you that!), he just sent a few seed programs to take over the world on the cheap.
 
== the name "Stark" on the wall had nothing to do with Myron Stark.... ==
....it was a reference to [[Iron Man (Filmfilm)|Tony Stark.]] Clearly, Skynet's next target was Stark Industries, probably for Arc Reactor technology.
 
== Cameron was a prototype for John Henry ==
Line 309:
* But if that were the case, why didn't Cameron try to stop John from going into the future, where he would be in more danger? Also, wouldn't Catherine Weaver have known what was happening? And couldn't Cameron have controlled her own body (within the confined space) using the mainframe cable, the same way John Henry did with Cromartie's body?
 
== Steven Shay, Spencer and Carly's father on [[I CarlyICarly]], will be part of the human resistance after [[Terminator|Judgment Day]] ==.
As per an [[I CarlyICarly]] WMG, Steven Shay is stationed on board the Jimmy Carter, and becomes part of the resistance when Judgment Day happens.
 
== Skynet is using the various iterations created by time travel as battle simulations in its endless war against Humanity. ==
Line 318:
Since Skynet was created as a defense computer and analyzing battle scenarios was its primary function,its virtual immortality, its ability to send objects through time and its creation of relatively stable time loops mean that it can fulfill its primary directive for eternity.
John Connor's efforts only assist Skynet in performing its functions and have little or no hindering effect upon it.
** Combine this with the split timeline/universe theories, and you have turned Skynet from a sentient rogue computer into a near god with [[Chrono Cross (Video Game)|Time Devourer/Lavos]] like behavior if I understand this right. Effectively, Skynet is created. If it kills all humans then it has nothing to do short of waiting for universal heat death, hoping aliens exist to find to fight or creating [[Portal|human-like bots to study]]. If Skynet loses, it effectively dies. A lot of these Terminator stories have the time travel pop up as the war has reached a point it could go either way, but in doing so also reveals the war is coming to an END. If each jump back splits the timeline then either skynet is filling all the temporal multiverse with its children, or if these "children" are fully itself it has found a way to eternally wage war without fear of the end of the universe.
 
== The Future John went to in the series finale was actually ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]'' or ''[[The Matrix]]''. ==
