"I had the same thought that she might be the shape shifter terminator, and that she is just trying to get close to him. If that were the case she would of just killed him and bang show over but there's something definitely there about riley. It could be that she is a real girl and her and john will "kick it" because they are so alike. After all john still is a teen and he needs friends, like he said when is the time to live my life. we'll see, overall i like riley her and john make a good couple."

"Wouldn't Cameron know that she was a Terminator or resistance fighter...?

UNLESS!! (and this is a wild one!)

New Future Cameron knows about Riley and Version 1 Cameron knows the Chola chick... it could be that Cameron is acting in a third party roll. She has sent her own troops back. If John's idea fails then she has her own network.

If there was a time loop then New Future version Cameron may have known she goes wonky for a while and has sent her own back up "angels" waiting in the wings (maybe the Cameron with John now doesn't even know what her Future counterpart was doing for sure).

-----------

Did you notice that Riley completely ignored John's question about her parents? She immediately changed the subject and then looked weirdly at the ceiling for a moment. And she just spent the night (!!!) making a LEGO robot for John. We don't even know if she slept at all... and this is the very first time (supposedly) she ever even engaged John in conversation.

It could be that this Riley was sent from the NEW future just like the resistance fighter who was killed, so version 1 Cameron wouldn't know about her at all.

Hmmm...

Or, again, she's the strangest human girl that ever lived. LOL! I'd love to find one just like her. BAM! Just like that she's your friend.

Would it even be beyond the pale to suggest that Riley is actually... John and Cameron's advanced hybrid daughter sent from the New Future? Pretty weird and freaky if that were the case since John may try to make out with her! "

"I doubt she'll show up in every episode though. "

"Why is it that when someone says a confirmed statement like this, everybody seems to ignore it completely? "

"Because we know they lie to throw us off."

"Does Riley have any friends at school? The more friends she has the easier it is to believe she's human and has been around for longer than a few days. Why would she have chosen to hang out with John rather than her friends? Is she going to try and get John to spend time with her and her friends to whom she can show him off?"

"Please tell me where exactly have they lied before."

"She may be 100% human, but that doesn't mean they won't pull a fast one and have her be a "back up plan" from the future.

She seemed overly aggressive to worm her way into John's life so suddenly. She may be one of the people that was sent into the cellar in the future. A reprogrammed human?

Either that or she's just an odd duck. =)"
