Liquidmetal Did Derek shoot and kill Jesse? No.

TackDriver1956
Audio. We heard the hammer/striker fall on an empty chamber.

This response has been challenged. (On what basis?)

Derek said in "The Demon Hand" he does not like firing a weapon unless he loaded it himself. The click you heard was the action of the trigger as Derek applied pressure to it. It does not mean he pulled the trigger completely (the Beretta 92f has a double action trigger which has a long trigger pull). They cut to commercial so the audience would not know for sure if he did or did not shoot Jesse (This was done for dramatic effect).
ShiningPathofLight Who shot the guy who wrote the bloody wall and why?



TackDriver1956
Why was the LMT frozen?		 To prevent it from moving around during it's trip.-Why? Who cares if it moves? Caesis Challenged by TackDriver: Speculation
Liquidmetal Who was in the basement?

Which basement?
 John Henry
Cameron		 SmokinScoobyDoo
F-W		 The music playing in the basement was a Chopin piece, the same one that Cameron dances to in the present. Cameron also states that Allison's mother played Chopin for hours. When Derek goes back to the base, he recognizes Cameron's model as a Terminator, so he must have seen her sometime before. And in To the Lighthouse Cameron states that Derek has given into torture previously, all but confirming that she tortured him in the basement.
Iranatest What did Derek wrap into Jesse's jacket and not let Cameron see? Nothing, it was simply Jesse's jacket.
Iranatest Will we get proof of who the liquid metal terminator was on the Jimmy Carter? Catherine Weaver
- There's more than one T-1000		 BTK The reference to the moray in various episodes in weaver's office and the transformation of the JImmy Carter's T1000
Challenged: How does this prove that they are one in the same?
Iranatest Is the second (competing) Skynet the roving back door trojan planted by grey Fischer?


Iranatest Will we ever get to see a kind of Simisco that is half human/ half AI?


Iranatest Still don't know what the red headed pretzelator was all about. 1. It is still uncertain. That is the official answer. However, it is possible that it's motives are in line with the Waterboy Terminator from "Adam Raised a Cain". We aren't certain that it was after Savannah Weaver but if it was, it is safe to assume that there is a party that is interested in eliminating those involved with John Henry's development.

Liquidmetal Why did Skynet need those jet engines? To power the time machine. But I think they were for Connor's time machine, TackDriver1956. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xetZUKgv5HA

Mjn Is the Red Headed pretzelator related to the Japanse three dot company (it is just a logo)? Did this company join with the winning Japanese company from the Chess competition?

I meant, her computer chip exploded when John tried to read it. That company said that their computer chip would explode if somebody tried to read it. They also talked about joining with the winners of the chess competition. 		1. No. She arrived via Time Bubble in a bus.

2. No. The Japanese company was a fraud set up to swindel the Connors out of some money.[2b] The self destructing chip on Rosie (the Pretzelator), was a safe guard Skynet had implemented on it's own to preven the resistance from reprogramming terminators.[2a]
 1. TackDriver1956
2. TooBoku
 2a. S02E06 - "The Tower Is Tall But the Fall Is Short"
2b. S02E10 - "Strange Things Happen at the One Two Point"
Mjn From the Chess competition, did the group that scanned Cameron so intently that had a human looking type head, become Cameron? She was built in that warehouse, but it was never indicated if she was from the same AI line.


tommy-minou Lauren: Having witnessed terminators and met the Connors, will she ever reappear either to join them or will we see her grow up with her sister having started her own Sarah Connor-style one woman army?


tommy-minou Stark, the Terminator sent back to the 1920s - his mission was to shoot the governor in 2010 - why? This governor must be important to send a term back for. There is no mention as to why the Governer Wyman is significant to the future.[a] However, the current governer, a known T-800 101 by the name of Arnold Schwarzenegger, will be ending his term in 2010 due to term expiration.[b] Wyman's termination may be a metaphor for Schwarzenegger, an attempt at humor for those who pick up on it. TooBoku
 [a] S02E11 "Self Made Man"
[b] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_United_States_Governors
tommy minou The flying machine that went into the back of the truck - where was it going and who was that guy working for? The guy was working for the company run by John Henry's Brother psyborgue revealed in "To the Lighthouse" that the same people who kidnapped SC were working for JH's brother (they also set up the factory to build the prototype HK).
tommy-minou In 2-16 when Sarah checks into the sleep clinic - if the scenes in the van were real and the scenes in the clinic a dream - then what is the significance of the British woman who died, and the male nurse with the tattoos? 1. She represents Sarah's death in the playground- a dream. When Sarah is killed in the clinic, and wakes up in the van, she knows she's alive.
2. Coyote will do anything to defend young.
Coyotes are also known to chew off a leg to escape a trap. The male nurse used Donna as an example of someone who does not "take control" and then dies. Sarah bit her wrists to draw blood for lubricant and finally broke her thumb joint to escape.		 TackDriver1956









Iranatest
tommy-minou John Henry's brother has Miles Dyson code. Is it the case that this other AI was from Cyberdine, and that despite Dyson destroying his work in T2, there may have been an off-site backup of his data, which survived and grew? Or is this other AI from the future (and it still could have Miles Dyson code in it)? 1. Yes. SkyNet v.0
2. No. It acquired T-888 design from JH.		 TackDriver1956 S2E20 phone conv. of human cutting Cameron.
giov3592 In episode 21 what did the man in cemetary bury what was in the box Derek Reese's cremated remains.
giov3592 what is Allison young to future John Connor
F-W She was about half his age in the 2020s, so probably not a romantic interest.
--------------------------
Also, if John didn't to jump 9 years into the future he would have been 24 years old when Alison was born.This is the timeline Cameron comes from. By 2027, Alison is 18 and John is 43. Score!
camfan97 What was on the left half of the bloody wall?


camfan97 What happened to the Ellisonator? The Ellison look alike terminator was eliminated by Cromartie.

This response has been challenged. - We never saw the complete destruction of the remains of the Ellisonator.
camfan97

camfan97 What became of the Cholla?


giov3592 Why does skynet want savanha weaver dead what is her purpose in the future


FrenchfanofTSCC Who called the Police for Sarah in EP 21 ? Ellison or the chief inspector on savannah's kidnapping
Or John Henry		 BTK Ellison to avoid being suspected again of the kidnapping, or the chief inspector on Ellison surveillance. - Speculation Challenged by TackDriver
FrenchfanofTSCC Where sarah find all that money to get that nice cars and to pay the Houses Rent ? Not clearly explained in the show but: illegal operations in the jungle 'weapon trafic' (with Enrique), diamonds stolen from Moshe in "brothers of nabius". Diamons and cash found in the safehouse of the resistance fighters. BTK

BTK, please read the rules of this page. This is not about speculation. This is for posting the answers when they are know.		 Just speculation.

Could we delete these answers please to help us identify what hasn't yet been answered in the series?

BTK
Not speculan: Enrique T2 CANON
Diamonds stolen: We see Derrek take it.
Safe house: "Diamonds are girl's best friends' < does that ring any bell ?
Anyway if you want to go cowboy on me maybe you should check the other question which are yet to be seen in the seasons finale like the one below...

giov3592 what will become of john henry


connorfan2109 Is there an AI civil War? What is Weaver's agenda?


marinerphoenix Can human memories be downloaded to AI?


margarite6666 During the sleep clinic episode there is reference to Sarah's C section. During the Good Wound and other episodes it is suggested that Sarah had a natural birth. Was this a mistake on the part of the writers? Everything that happened in the sleep clinic during "Some Must Watch, While Some Must Sleep" took place in Sarah's head as she was dreaming it all up while she was in the van with the Caliba employee. The reference to the C-section is a giveaway that the sleep clinic is in fact a dream.
 TooBoku
TackDriver1956 How did Caliba ( = SkyNet v.0? ) know to pursue Cameron and Derek? We do not know for certain where the Caliba AI originated but we can suspect it is the original AI from Cyberdyne that managed to escape the demolition in Terminator: 2 and survive for years as a distributed application. In "Some Must Watch, While Some Must Sleep", Sarah is held inside a van and interogated by a Caliba employee. At the same time, he implants her with a radio tracking device. They most likely have been observing the Connors for some time. TooBoku
mr_green Why doesn't John read the chips of the terminators they destroy? That would provide valuable intelligence. More specifically, John ought to read Cameron's chip to see what programming is really in there since she seems to have several sets of programming in her. In S2E01 the computer John used to read Vick's chip was probably destroyed in the house fire.

Still doesn't explain why he doesn't repeat the trick.
------------

First, the equipment to PROPERLY perform chip examination does not exist. The equipment they were able to acquire to examine Vick's chip is also very rare. As usual, they were very lucky to get anything at all from Vick's chip in the amount of time they had. However, the most important reason is that the procedure is very dangerous. Vick nearly escaped when they were examining his chip.

----------
[mr_green]Vick only nearly escaped because John didn't disconnect the internet cable and he won't repeat that mistake again.
--------------------
[TackDriver] Vic tried to get out via John's mobile phone. With Cam no worries?

----------------
[TooBoku] As seen in "Gnothi Seauton", Cromartie, another T-888, was able to reactivate his body which was some considerable distance away. This demonstrates the capability of a T-888 CPU to communicate wirelessly without a modern internet connection. The only thing it requires is power.

Response: mr_green
2. TackDriver1956
3. TooBoku
 TooBoku [Question]: If John was suspicious of Cameron's programming, why would he risk letting her escape into the Internet? A rogue Terminator AI is several magnitudes more dangerous on the internet than in an endoskeleton as it gives it access to virtually limitless information and automated systems connected to the Internet.

Please move discussion to thread so we can clean up this entry once the question is resolved.

phasee
 The Tower is Tall but the Fall is Short:
What did John say after he told Dr. Sherman that someone broke into their house? ie
Dr. Sherman,"You get to be a kid," John, shakes his head "no."
And what did Sarah talk about with Dr. Sherman when she had a flashback of John choking Sarkissian?
Yes, they would know not to say too much but Dr. Sherman is nosy and they were going thru a rough time. So what was said?
