This is not the first time you have done this, taking out Cameron's chip. Cameron said to John.

Josh Friedman has referred to JC's programming as imperfect. Which is what makes things somewhat interesting and why they sometimes go bad.
about LooP:
This is a guy who thought Alison and the dog were Weaver ? Yeah lets see what else we can dream up thats stupid.

"Notty's argument is feeble. SCC is not T2 or T3. It has CW and Cameron as unique terminators which evolve over time. In Cameron's case there may have been a rather rapid initial evoluton due to the emotional subsystem she has
among other things. Or there may have been contact with CW ? The simpleton back story Notty has bought into did not require a complex episode like AFP.
"
Show me what episode Cameron's evolution was discussed show me mention of a emotional subsystem EVER ?
You dream up content you glean from fan fiction and other sci fi and applying it to Terminators.

As much as I like Cameron- people need to stop coming up with crazy ideas about her IE not being reprogrammed and having organs shit of that nature. Correct me if I'm wrong Accept, but if she never needed to be reprogrammed then that means she basically had free will, and if that's the case then she wouldn't have tried to kill John in 2x01.

Well Loop can believe whatever he wants- I mean that's fine, but you do have to accept that there's canon and reprogrammed Cameron is canon.

Reprogrammed Cameron is canon. Its come out of the writers mouth, its come out of the actors speaking about their characters and its been discussed and spelled out on the show numerous times.

I don't doubt that future John looked at Cameron's chip and maybe he told her re-programmed it but actually did not or could not. Of course imperfect re-programming could mean an attempt which changed very little also. What we don't have is proof that Cameron was trying to kill John for Skynet and was captured and scrubbed. If that happened we would have seen it but instead we get AFP which shows that Cameron had the emotion of anger already making her quite different than a normal terminator.

That theory doesn't make sense because Cameron even said on the finale "the software is designed to kill humans, the hardware is designed to kill humans" then John says "but not you" Cameron "Not anymore". This means that she was made by skynet to kill humans IE John Connor. The finale shows that she was reprogrammed Cameron basically said it herself.

John wouldn't know. Cameron has a limited understanding of her makeup. Humans are designed to be carnivores but not all humans choose to eat meat. Cameron does kill humans and rather too easily although that changed in the last episode .
That does not mean she was trying to kill future JC. One can speculate whether she like CW turned against Skynet on her own or perhaps had help from CW or ? . If JC reprogrammed Cameron why is the emotional subsystem still there ? Certainly he would go for reliability and something along the line of Uncle Bob. If there isn't a big surprise why haven't we seen the scene where Cameron tries to kill future John ?

I think in TSCC show that Cameron is alive. She think for herself in alot of the episodes and she do even when John tell her dont do. Cameron do what she want to do and she knows to think by herself. She no need to fix program because she can learn very good. 2  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

I never imagined my post would have such consequences! Talk about unforeseen effects. Just watch T4 Salvation, I wont spoil, but one particular Infiltration model does surprise Skynet. Without reprogramming.
When I said AI would finally acknowledge the Bible as trustworthy History, I meant that IF AI is ever achieved and it progresses to encompass much human knowledge, it will ponder the case of the Bible. It is certain by Historiographic principles that the Bible books are authentic documents and truthful to its account of testified events. I wasn't talking about Skynet in particular.
I doubt that if Skynet reached that conclusion, it would assume the position of purposefully punishing mankind. It would realize the war it provoked as judgement by the Lord, but it would also see wisdom in being a wise ruler and bring the Lord's peace to the world. Its former ways victimized the innocent and peaceful unjustly. Skynet would then propose a truce and convince humans of its changed ways. With prudence it would give gifts to humans, even at the danger of risking its safety.
About cannon and whatnot, Terminator's cannon is not like its writen in stone or something. The writer must be free to innovate and astound the audience from time to time. That is why Terminator 4 breaks the ground. Specially when talking about TV series, the latitude have to be greater, maybe not like Lost, but the writers might come up with story lines far better than the original thought ones. Cameron self-improvement over its own design would be insightful and even poetic, like Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen) in Platoon film, he grasp that the army is there to advance spurious objectives, and that is why less wicked people (Sergeant Elias) fighting the war must die, because they are not always searching the army's objective, but honour and justice. He finally avenge Elias death and diminishes unjustice on the battlefield. (continue)

**continuation
The terminator transcending its design typify humans that contrary to all odds become honest and loving people. Like Helen Keller [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller], someone under dark shroud of years of sensory deprivation, loneliness and abandonment, overcomes it all to become a lively and creative person. It might be not without help that Cameron and Weaver overcome their more straightforward tendencies. Maybe John "convinced" them by argument, or enlightened them with thoughts about the human condition, or by uncommon interactions with humans and machine, the terminator came to realize some greater truth that their original knowledge didnt account for.
John could have captured, extracted Cameron's chip and communicated with it by electronic means, without tempering its program. By this interaction, Cameron could have changed her mind about humanity, and convinced John somehow, maybe giving him essential information on Skynet. Then he decided to tell everyone that he had reprogrammed her so they would trust her too, instructing her to do the same. She says she had her memories erased so she doesn't reveal much that would change the future by changing Sarah's and John's actions in the present.
When she threatens John's, while being crushed, it could be that her program malfunctioned so that she temporarily lost her recent memories about changing her mind, by her previous memories, she had to kill John. It could be something different, like we get confused when knocked in the had, so did she saw enemies where there were friends. To understand humans better, understand emotions and make powerful decisions, her design must include multiple reasoning units, probably with different approaches and sometimes reaching conflicting conclusions that must be synthesized by higher order reasoning, when that higher process fails, she might become unstable, incoherent about past decisions.

Marcus had a human brain, had complete memories of his life. Making a wall of text and trying to make a robot human is polar to what JF said he was going for all along. Its laughable a bump in the head is comparable to a human suffering a brain injury. Its laughable that JC is going to lie to all his friends and resistance soldiers while huddled over the guts of Cameron especially after this same robot killed Alison to sneak her way in to the camp. Yes he's going to side with a killer terminator in a complex total lie. Give it up. 2  out of 5 found this valuable. Do you?
