"I wonder, if they develop a relationship...John and Cameron that is, how will the directors do it? They can't just suddenly have them having sex or something...lol. What do you think the first step of moving toward John and Cameron having a romantic relationship? Have they already taken the first step? For example, that scene with John reinserting her memory chip, for a moment he was staring at her as she was inactive, foreshadowing possibly he already has feelings for her. Personally I think Cameron might have a curiousity with human relationships, and possibly try to explore it herself or kiss John in the wrong context or something. "

"She could have had relationship with Future John and just hasn't told present John. Before John looked at the chip Cameron admitted she had kept important things from him.

It may even be possible that her little "small talk" about Vick touching his wife may have been her way of testing the waters to see if John was ready to learn about her and Future John and she assessed from it he wasn't ready.

If future John did have a relationship with her he probably would have told Cameron to keep quite about it until his younger self was ready to hear it.

I think it's possible that Cameron may even be holding back on how emotionally developed she already is. She only shows what she believes people are ready to handle. The Connors expect a machine so she gives them one. In the future John may have been able to handle the more human like Cameron.

Just speculation of course, but if they went that direction they could even explore a John/Cameron relationship in flashback/flashforwards rather than having it happen in the present. Maybe through Cameron remembering as John gets involved with someone else.

And later if they wanted to get them together in the present the relationship would feel new and not old hat.

"Sooner or later he will probably ask her what their relationship is like in the future."

"I also think that john is devloping feelings for Cam. Because when vick was beating her up he had this look on his face that showed care for her. Mabye he also has a sense that he has to protect her. Sounds stupid i know but ya never know"

" John definitely has feelings for Cameron or rather he is definitely starting to feel something by this point in the show. I think season 2 will further develop that, as of this moment, i don't think Cameron feels anything for John, simply because he's just her mission....nothing more. She's still learning indeed. "

"I think John has felt something for Cameron all the way through indeed. From the minute her met her in that class when she asked him his name. Even though he found out she was a Terminator, he said to her, "You're Different", and she replied, " I am..(eats a chip)" I think that in itself started something between them. John has always had a curiosity for Terminators, Arnold, and now Cameron. In Queen's Gambit, Cameron was being attacked by Vick and he tried to rescue her. In the second episode, he kind was worried her got knocked out after the electrical shock from the vault and furthermore the memory chip scene on the bed. John definitely has feelings for Cameron or rather he is definitely starting to feel something by this point in the show. I think season 2 will further develop that, as of this moment, i don't think Cameron feels anything for John, simply because he's just her mission....nothing more. She's still learning indeed. "

"john better not let uncle derek find out. . .but that would be an interesting plot device-to have cameron kiss john or something and derek walk in on them. it would make for a very interesting episode."

"From what I gather from the snippets of interviews it's as if Cameron is actually LEARNING to be human in the present moreso than in the Future, just like Arnold did. So, how can Future John and Cameron be in a real relationship, if Cameron is just developing these feelings in the present? That wouldn't make any sense from a character development standpoint.

As Summer stated, she would personally like Cameron to perhaps find real love and be the first Terminator to do so, not just programmed mission statements like "protect John." "

"As her emotions develop in the present she will be drawn to John because she did love him in the future and didn't realize it was love.

The tin man discovers it had a heart all along.

As for a relationship with future John - we already know that she was his confidant. She said that John talked about the tin-man a lot. I think the reason he may have being doing that was that he loved her and wanted her to be able to return that love.

John may have touched her face in the future much like present John did when he put her chip back in but she had no understanding of what that meant. Most of her experience may have been the war.

But in the present she has different experiences -- real living if you will -- she can come to the understanding of what John touching her is all about.

Which makes me think that John sending her back(personally at least on his part) was more about the tin man gaining a heart than stopping skynet. All his life to be denied a real life with someone he loves -- gotta weigh heavy on a person.
