And thinking back to the pilot.
Cameron was waiting at the New Mexico School.
Did she KNOW John would end up there?
If not she sure looked like she fit in at the school and had been attending for awhile.

In her words she was looking for the Connors for 73 days. And she knew that Charlie went to the police, meaning she monitored the database like Cromartie did -- which implies she didn't know, she had to look.

There's going to be another Terminator of the week in this episode. That's the third one this season.

Don't see a problem with it honestly, but that's my take. There's always got to be a threat in play and to top it off, we don't fully know all of Catherine's sources or the Terminators that are out there that Skynet sent out to gurantee or at least attempts to gurantee the future.
But with the situation at hand, it would be nice if they the Connor's at least found some links to Catherine through human contacts. I do agree there has to be some other threats out there besides the Terminators in play, when it comes down to the Connor's situation.

Terminators are supposed to be nigh unstoppable killing machines. The Terminator of the week thing makes them a lot less threatening.

Well that's the price you pay for serializing the franchise, short of introducing said Bot as a recurring character there's not much alternative. After all you don't really expect the Bots to actually beat our intrepid heroes do you?

Here's something I just remembered from episode one of season one. When asked how long Cameron had been searching for the Connors, she said something like "73 days". Think about that. If John had sent Cameron back in time to protect him, SHE WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHERE THEY WERE AT ANY GIVEN TIME (assuming the time line hadn't changed for some reason, resulting in that information no longer being available to John.) She didn't. She had to hunt them. More evidence that she came back on her own. Assuming Connor sent her back, it's been about 20 years. With everything he has been through over the years, along with countless information, tactics, data, etc. that is floating around in his head during the War, I don't see it too far fetched that he couldn't remember EXACTLY where he was as a teenager, 20 years prior on XX Date. My guess was that he explained it to her as a High School in New Mexico, in whatever region. He didn't have an exact location in mind. Also, they moved from Nebraska to New Mexico, which is where Cameron found him. It is possible he didn't know exactly when he moved, hence her waiting "73 days" until he arrived. 2x06 looks good, something about the new female Terminator creeps me out, maybe it's her hair, but she just looks 'crazy'. Of course, it could also be those promo pics I've seen of her doing her best impersonation of a pretzel..

Ok as much as the last episode rocked and as much as the promo looks awesome.... terminator of the week, AGAIN? They should not do this... I hope this one will be for multiple episodes arc but from those photos it does not look it.

I have to say that the end of that promo was hilarious. Cameron and Rosie fighting in the elevator and as soon as it goes 'ding' they stop and then straighten out their clothes. That gave me a good laugh.

Well it's good to see Cameron getting into a fight with another female Bot more her own size. Maybe this time she won't get her ass handed to her - again.

I don't know that Cameron has ever really been outmatched in any fight, except for when she was glitchy in Automatic for the People. I know she had taken her licks but never appeared to be down for the count in my opinion. Saying this though I would like to see her be a bit more invinicible though. she is an "unknown" cyborg, but I guess what makes her different is actually her abilities to do emotional things not necessarily combat related.
I do have a concern about this "rogue" resistance fighter. I'm sure the writers are brining her along in an intelligent manner and not just to sleep with Derek. But going by the previews it just seems like she's thrown in. In other words I hope she has a darn good reason to be there because this show already has A LOT of characters.

I got the impression the new female Terminator is another infiltrator just like Cameron. The elevator fight scene ends after the door opens. Both infiltrators realize they can't call attention to themselves. They adjust their clothes and try to act normal. Although the gash on Cameron's face sort of gives it away. I wonder if this new Terminator is the same model? Minor cosmetic skin alterations make her look like a different person. I searched youtube and so far no one has posted the promo. I'll add a link as soon as I can find it. That catfight looks like it'll be good.

I'm just happy that I now know Cam's not rolling around with Savanah in the promo photos - watching a child terminator get blown away would be a step or three past my comfort level with fictional violence.
My question is, however, is Derek Reese really suggesting that John Connor get therapy? Because, if so, maybe the first step would be NOT TELLING HIM THAT HE'S THE REASON WHY EVERYONE HE KNOWS DIES!
I'm just sayin'...
