 Played by: Summer Glau Occupation: Defender of the future leader of the human resistance: John Connor. Aliases: Allison Young, Cameron Phillips, Cameron Baum Signature look: Attractive female teenager. Cameron Phillips' Backstory: Cameron Phillips is a terminator sent from the year 2027 to protect John Connor and his mother, Sarah Connor. She first appeared in the Pilot of the TV series, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Cameron is from an unknown terminator series, admittedly different than all the others. She is the most realistic cyborg yet encountered, with detailed programming of social behavior. Personality: Although Cameron was capable of pretending to be a human when approaching John in the pilot episode, befriending John and even flirting, she no longer displays this behavior. Since Cromartie's attack on John in the pilot episode, she has remained relatively emotionless and has thus far proved to have poor social skills when she and John return to school in the third episode. This regression of abilities has yet to be explained, but she has been shown mimicking the behavior of others, such as the Latina lookout from the second episode, providing a baseline for her current behavior. This is also shown in the fifth episode when she impersonated the voice of a distressed student she met just prior to the latter committing suicide. When John commented on the differences between her behaviors at different points, she replied, "Fooled you." At times she also displays awkward humor, such as in the fifth episode when she and John are entering a vehicle driven by Sarah: John, wanting to ride in the front passenger seat, called out "I call shotgun," to which Cameron responded, "I call nine-millimeter." In the episode "The Demon Hand," depite both Sarah and Derek's insistence that she is a soulless machine, Cameron is shown performing a complex ballet dance for no apparent reason. Another aspect of Cameron's personality that has yet to be explored is her apparent fashion sense, as she is seen in a wide range of outfits during the series (as opposed to most previous terminators who generally wore a single outfit). Biography: Post-Judgement Day: Cameron was created by Skynet outside the blast doors in U.S. military base Depot 37 after Judgement Day. Her appearance was based from a young Resistance fighter, Allison Young. Originally built to to assasinate John Connor by assuming Young's identity. In 2027, Cameron was captured and reprogrammed by Tech-Com for their use. One of the soldiers, Derek Reese, first thought that she was an infiltrator until she later saved him from another terminator. She then told Derek that reprogrammed terminators sometimes turn back to their old ways, due to an unknown problem. She has knowledge of other Resistance teams who were sent back in time as far as 1963 who were employed in the construction and fitting out of a bank, using it as too store future weapon components made from contemporary technology and a time machine within the safe room, but there is no evidence that she shares all her information with the Connors. Future John Connor assigned her the current mission beginning in 1999, to protect his mother and his younger self by sending them 8 years into the future (2007). Pre-Judgement Day: After being assigned to protect John Connor in 1999, Cameron searched for John and Sarah for 73 days before finally finding John at a high school and initially ingratiating herself with John as a classmate and friend. She saved his life, and helped him fight against Cromartie, the T-888 sent back in time to kill him. With the Connors determined to prevent Skynet's birth, Cameron helped John and his mother break into a bank, using time displacement equipment stored in the safety deposit room (the material supposedly left by "The Engineer" years earlier), to escape Cromartie and avoid Sarah's death in 2005. They made it to 2007, and set up in a house. In "Gnothi Seauton," Cameron took Sarah to meet with resistance fighters from the future, called Spiders, who were sent back in time to provide supplies such as money and weapons. When they arrived at the safe house, everyone was dead. Cameron and Sarah began checking the bodies for barcodes, identifying them as former inmates at Skynet internment camps. One of them was the terminator that tracked and destroyed the cell and, recognizing Cameron as an unknown cyborg, its programming instructed it to evade and reevaluate its mission. Cameron gave pursuit while Sarah hijacked a motorcycle and crashed it into the terminator. However, a passing car hit Cameron as she crossed the road, and the terminator escaped. As they returned home, Sarah asks Cameron why they jumped to the future, instead of using the extra seven years to train John, calling Cameron "Tin Man." Cameron told her that in 2005 she died of cancer. The inference Cameron was that making the jump to the future allowed Sarah Connor to skip over her own death, however there is no evidence that Sarah Connor would still have cancer if she had not time traveled, as following medical investigations, Sarah Connor's doctor gave her the all clear. In T3 (a film with a parallel but alternate timeline, Sarah was reported to have died to cancer prior to the events in that movie). Cameron also explained that Skynet has sent numerous T-888s back in time for specific missions. Cameron and Sarah visited Enrique Selceda, who is an expert at forging identities. Unfortunately, he was retired but gave them the address of his nephew, Carlos, who has "taken over the family business." Upon entering Carlos' house, Cameron was forced to wait outside after his dogs barked at her aggressively (as they do with all Terminators). Cameron waited by the car and was approached by the Latina Lookout who, after sizing her up, slouched on the bonnet, which Cameron mirrored. When a police officer arrrived moments later, she denied owning the car and refused to give her name. As the officer began taking notes, believing the car to be filled with drugs, Cameron deemed him a threat and was about to terminate him until Sarah intervened. Upon returning home, they found a flustered John in the kitchen. Cameron stroked his neck in a seemingly affectionate way, but was in actual fact performing an analysis of John's biomarker, revealing that he snuck out while they were gone. While searching the resistance safe house for money, they found a safe behind a poster, but when Cameron attempted to tear the door off, she was temporarily incapacitated for two minutes by an electric surge placed as a trap. John correctly guessed the code and took the duffel just as a T-888 arrives. They threw the still-offline Cameron out a window and barely managed to escape detection. Later, at home, John gave Cameron a diamond from the duffel. Cameron entered Sarah's room and offered her a diamond, explaining that she understands the metaphor of the Tin Man nickname, as the adult John told her in the future how Sarah would read The Wizard of Oz (by Frank Baum) to him in Spanish as a child. As the episode ends, Cameron and John are registering at the local high school. Her new name is Cameron Baum. In "The Turk," Cameron and John went to school for the first time. Cameron had trouble with the metal detectors until John told the security guard that she has a metal plate in her head. John gave Cameron a few lessons on proper social behavior in order for her to try to fit in with the students. Nevertheless, she displayed very poor social skills in the process (in unexplained contrast with her fine social skills in the pilot episode). Whilst in the girl's bathroom, Cameron overheard two girls talking about a "tight present" one received; one of the girls then asked Cameron if she thinks she looks fat, to which Cameron answered truthfully "Yes," prompting the girl's friend to call her a "bitch-whore" (this encounter appears to have lasting repercussions on Cameron's programming, as in subsequent episodes she repeats phrases like "tight present" and "do I look fat?"). Cameron confused. Later, John tried to save Jordan from committing suicide but is stopped by As the girls left, Cameron discovered Jordan Cowan crying in one of the toilets. Jordan poured her heart out to Cameron, claiming that her life was over because of her affair with a teacher. Cameron tried to cheer up the girl by offering a "tight present" (a compact left behind by one of the girls), but Jordan stormed out, leaving Cameron ("Don't be a freak," she warned him), and Jordan subsequently died. In "Heavy Metal," Cameron informed Sarah and John that Cromartie had followed them through time after watching news footage of their arrival from 1999; in the background within the picture was Cromartie's endoskull. It is implied in Cameron's response to John that she killed a news anchorman to obtain the KZPZ video footage. Cameron believed Cromartie had something to do with a shipment of refined coltan being forced to reroute from Oakland, as it is a key ingredient needed to construct endoskeletons resistant to high temperatures as specified for both T-800 and later generation terminator models. Cameron suggests Cromartie may need to repair himself. While spying on the operation, it is determined that the terminator controlling the Coltan operation is not Cromartie after all, as its the wrong height for Cromartie. This terminator becomes known as Carter. John is determined to deny Skynet this material so it cannot be used to make future terminators and despite the objections of Sarah and Cameron attempts to place his phone on the coltan so it can be tracked to its eventual location. After John got himself locked in a truck filled with coltan, Cameron and Sarah interrogate a guard to find out where it was going. Cameron was then made to leave the guard in a minefield rather than terminate him directly. At the Depot 37 military base, Cameron saved John from the T-888 known as Carter, they locked him in the fallout shelter, then drove the truck of coltan into flooded quarry. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that Cameron had saved one bar of coltan for reasons unknown. went to see one of the school counselors. The counselor asked In "Queen's Gambit," John exploited Cameron by asking her to do his homework. They later visited Jordan 's memorial at school where John explained to Cameron why people write letters to the deceased, a concept she had trouble understanding. Later, Cameron and John met Sarah at a robotics convention where Cameron examined the robots curiously before joining John and Sarah in watching the chess match between the Turk and a Japanese computer. The next day at school, CameronCameron what Jordan was talking about before she died. She repeated the conversation and knew that Jordan was upset about the graffiti. Cameron then left the office, leaving the counselor concerned. Cameron later helped free Derek Reese from the police and a T-888 (Vick), whom she disabled by removing his CPU. She tried to help Derek, who had been shot, but did not have the necessary medical training to save him. While John fetched Charley Dixon, Cameron was seen writing a letter, possibly for soon-to-be-deceased Derek. In "Dungeons & Dragons," Cameron striped away the T-888's flesh, revealing its metal endoskeleton, which Charley inadvertently stumbled upon in the garage. By this point he had proof that terminators exist; he also acknowledged that Cameron is a machine, calling her a "very scary robot." Cameron destroyed the remains of the terminator might kill Charley because he has learned too much. by burning it with thermite in an improvised cinderblock furnace. This destroyed all traces of the machine's existence, except for its dismembered left hand, which Agent Ellison recovered in the previous episode. Sometime later, tension developed between Cameron and Sarah, as Sarah intuited that CameronCameron submitted that she will not, and promised to recover the T-888's missing hand. Curiously, after promising to destroy every last bolt of the T-888, Cameron was shown to have kept the T-888's chip she had extracted from its skull in the previous episode. In "The Demon Hand," Cameron disguised herself as a police officer (an homage to the T-1000) and broke into a power plant, finds a primary turbine, and then shoved her fist into it, destroying the turbine and Los Angeles lost power. She then rode the motorcycle to the Central Los Angeles Police Department and walked through undetected. She punched open the door to evidence storage. Cameron found an evidence box, and Agent Ellison's was the last name on the list. She looked through the box and found nothing. Cameron returned home and told Sarah that the FBI has the missing T-888 hand. Sarah ordered Cameron to find Dmitri, and in order to do so, Cameron enrolled in a ballet class taught by Dmitri's sister, Maria. At the end of the fist lesson, a Russian man (apparently a gangster) showed up and demanded the money he is owed. Cameron listened in on the conversation, as she can apparently speak Russian. Cameron told Sarah she's following up on Dmitri and the Turk, then sat at the breakfast table. Cameron and Derek stared at each other. When Cameron ate a piece of pancake and pushed the plate away, Derek said that she may have fooled the Connors, but she wasn't fooling him. When Cameron returned to the ballet studio, she watched Maria Shipkov dance from the doorway. She engaged Maria in conversation and asked about her brother. The Russian gangster returned, but Cameron stepped in, and kicked the man to the ground. Cameron told an astonished Maria that she's looking for Dmitiri, and that she could help them. asked Dmitri what happened to the Turk. When he refused to answer, Maria took Cameron to Dmitri's apartment. CameronCameron offered him a diamond. He took it and and said that a man came and offered him cash for the Turk. Dmitri sabotaged the Turk by reprogramming it to throw the chess match so that the man could take the machine. Dmitri gave Cameron a piece of paper, supposedly naming the person who has or took the Turk. Cameron took the paper and left. On her way out, she passed two armed men, and Cameron walked out of the apartment with the sounds of screaming and gunfire coming from Dmitri's room. Cameron gave Sarah the paper from Dmitri, and told her that Shipkov and his sister were both dead. Sarah asked Cameron if she killed them, but Cameron told Sarah that she was not the one who killed them (it is left ambiguous as to whether Cameron was simply following the letter of her programming, or chose to allow the two to be killed in order to fulfill an as-yet unexplained aspect of her overall mission). Cameron later practiced ballet in front of a mirror with Derek watching from the doorway. Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor (1830) was playing. It is unknown whether the music was diegetic or non-diegetic. It is also the same music heard when Derek entered the basement in the previous episode. As Cameron danced, Sarah narrated the closing scene. She said that machines "...cannot appreciate beauty, they cannot create art. If they ever learn these things, they won't have to destroy us. They'll be us." In "Vick's Chip," Cameron was accused of treachery when Derek found the T-888 CPU in her room. John then accused Derek of not being completely honest and truthful, in defense of Cameron. Cameron then defended herself, saying the chip may have valuable data they can use. Despite the breach of trust, they agreed not to destroy the chip and for John to hack into it, to learn about the T-888's mission. John asked Cameron whether she can lie (she can, if it's helpful to the mission), and if she lies about important things to John (she has, several times). At school the next day, Cameron was given a note from a student who informed her that an FBI agent was looking for John. Cameron found the agent and scanned him, discovering he was actually Cromartie. She then found Morris, John's best friend, and convinced him to pose as John for Cromartie. As CromartieCameron began to follow him, but changed her mind when John appeared. When asked what was happening she simply replied, "Nevermind." Later, left, Cameron suddenly appeared on John's bed, applying nail polish to her fingers, having snuck in without him noticing. She commented on the T-888's infiltration techniques; when asked what she's doing, Cameron answered "I'm just making conversation," and revealed that Cromartie was at the school. John made her promise not to tell his mother about Cromartie, right before Sarah entered. Cameron left, winking at John over Sarah's shoulder. Whilst hacking into the CPU, John accidentally gave it too much power and it tried to escape through the Internet, but Cameron was able to remove the chip in time. John realized that Cameron's brain has the same ability to explore and hack the traffic control network and decided to insert Cameron's CPU into the traffic control network so she can shut it down. John is hesitant about removing Cameron's chip but she comforted him, saying that "This isn't the first time we've done this." After successfully compromising the system, Derek took Cameron's chip and warned John that one of the terminators he trusts will end up killing him. John got the chip back and replied, "Not this one." He then re-activated Cameron, but while he did, he showed that he has feelings for Cameron by stroking her hair affectionately. When Cameron rebooted, she stated, "I saw everything." In "What He Beheld," Cameron and Sarah entered an Internet cafe where they were contacted by the owner of the Turk, a man named Sarkissian. Later, at a science museum, Cameron asked John why he looked upset; he responded that tomorrow is his birthday and that he believes his mom has forgotten it. He then had to explain what a birthday is to Cameron, and why they are important. She asked him if she has a birthday. John said that she might actually have a "builtday." Cameron noticed someone following them and managed to sneak away from the group before attacking and killing the man, stuffing him inside the trunk of his car (the man's death is not shown on screen). Before leaving, Morris approached Cameron and asked her to the prom; John told her to "just say yes," and she did. John and Cameron headed back home and showed the corpse to Sarah and Derek; suddenly, the dead man's cell phone rang and Cameron did her voice impersonation ability to answer it. On the other end is the man Sarah and Derek believed to be Sarkissian, telling him to bring the kids over to where he is. The unnamed Latina lookout (last seen being imitated by Cameron in "Gnothi Seauton"), having witnessed the death of several colleagues at the hands of the man claiming to be Sarkissian, assisted the group in tracking him to his hideout. The four found and killed the man when he held John hostage. Left alone with the Latina lookout after the incident, Cameron asked the girl if she needed to kill her now; the ever-silent girl did not reply, but met Cameron's eyes with her own. Cameron chose not to kill the girl and even gave her one of her own guns before they parted company. The next day, Cameron was sent to get a birthday cake for John. As Cameron got into the car, she noticed the real Sarkissian walking away from the house. Just as she turned the ignition, the car exploded. After the explosion, Cameron's chip malfunctioned and she reverted to her skynet programming: Terminate John Connor. After having put up several fights (neither were sucessfull for either party) Cameron was trapped between two cars. As John began to remove her chip, she begged him not to, cried, and even told him that she loves him, and he loves her. In the end, John took out the chip. Regaurdless of much protest from Derek and Sarah, John later put the chip back in. He stood back with a gun. When Cameron came back online, she assesed that she was to terminate John Connor. Cameron asked, "Are you going to shoot me, John?" John replied "No. Are you going to shoot me?" Cameron said "No". John tossed her the gun. The action "terminate John Connor" immediately appeared on her HUD, but Cameron did an "override" action that allowed her to overcome her skynet programming.

| CHARACTER CONNECTIONS:
      TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES SEASON 2 (CAMERON) PHOTOS      ALLISON YOUNGAllison Young (born 22 July, 2008) was a human girl living in the Future War. After Judgment Day, she was supposedly chosen by John Connor to perform unknown missions, but was captured by Skynet. Skynet tried to reach John Connor by creating a Terminator replacement of Allison and sending this doppelganger back to John in her stead. Allison was a member of the Resistance who apparently had some close connection to John. She was one of a few who were given special ID bracelets that allowed her access to John's secret camp, placing her in a position of trust and importance. While  being interrogated by Cameron, Allison defiantly refused to betray his location. Though she apparently gave in to Cameron's demands, Allison was sly enough to almost trick Cameron into approaching the camp without the ID bracelet, which would have resulted in her immediate failure. Cameron commented that John "chose" her. Though Cameron may have been referring to Allison's privileged access to the camp, it seems unlikely given that Cameron had yet to discover the bracelet's significance. This presents the possibility that Allison and John may have had a close relationship, though the nature of said relationship remains unclear. NOTES:

As we know Cameron is pretty much a fan favorite on this wiki. The question I'd like to ask is if you were in the resistance, would you be friendly and Pro-Cam as you are on here, or would you treat her like a toaster, and call her a metal bitch? ( Hmmm, it seems I'm REALLY liking using the start a thread function tonight!) lol.

Ok folks. I know there are lots of people with wild and vivid dreams out there. This is it. Let 'em rip!!
1.) Do battle in her undies with the TV stations broadcasting it live and having tons of folks stare and drool (Great for trailers) 2.) Dress up in a nice black dress at the prom and then leave and kick some butt (Always wanted to see a terminator in a dress) 3.) Learn to cook so that she can feed the family (Imagine the look on Sarah's face, and maybe she can finally win over Derek thru his belly) |

Is Cameron about to go bad again? She seems to think so, hence her puting the explosive in her head next to her chip. She killed the bird in the chimney and saved endo parts, both in direct violation of the Connor's orders. It looked like she was about kill Riley untill John steped in.
So what is wrong with Cameron? I think her original programing is trying to take over. In Dungons and Dragons, Cameron said that her memory had been erased. This was done to make her reprograming more successful. However, she never said her original programing was erased. This would make sence, since erasing her original programing would probably make her inopperable. My guess is that she recieved a software "patch", changing her objective from "kill John Connor" to "protect John Connor". The "kill John Connor" objective is still there, but it has been lying dorment. SKYNET, anticipating that some of it's machines would be captured and reprogramed, installed "back up" programing on it's terminators that would override the Resistance programing if given enough time. Cameron's "dark side" is trying to take over.
