"I just watched episode three of season one. I believe that episode is the Turk, right?

Anyways, what John said to Sarah as Cameron was cleaning the weapons.... He spoke of the Singularity; when Skynet is finally able to make Terminators even smarter than itself. He said that when that happens, humanity was gonna have to kiss it's ass goodbye. As he says this, Cameron glances over at them, and then continues cleaning the MAC11 in her hand.

Here's my theory:

Skynet has already gone into the Singularity phase, and created the first, more-intelligent-than-itself terminator, AKA Cameron. Cameron is so smart, that Skynet becomes fearful of her, and believes she may aid the humans, due to her being so human. Skynet quickly decides to scrap Cameron, but she is recovered by the Resistance, and then reprogrammed, possibly by John. John soon falls head-over-heels for Cameron, and when he finds out that his past self needs protecting again, he decides to send Cameron, knowing she will be the best guardian, and that the past John will certainly fall for Cameron like the future John did. This concludes my theory.

Comments? Thoughts?"

"I do believe strong AI would reach the conclusion that the Bible is trustworthy and ultimately the Lord is the true Creator and only hope for the creatures. But maybe there is some mind design that would corrupt the conclusions and even a much powerful intellect could be fooled by its own conclusions. That must be the situation of Satan, the Lord's enemy. Beside all his wisdom, it ignores the fact that the Lord cannot be defeated. It is mind boggling.""

Good theory...Cameron uniqueness is apparent in your post.

Also, another popular theory is that John never re-programmed Cameron, and that Cameron became sentient on her own and is making her own decisions.

"

"That is not a popular theory, its wishful thinking by some who want to throw all common sense out the window in the name of Jameron.
A robot infiltrates a resistance base, Alison is missing and presumed dead, they are not going to let a terminator work for them without programming. Its utterly ridiculous.
Jameron is not based on that silly theory."

"I have to agree with Accept on this.

Also, when John asks Cameron what she had done to Derek to make him dislike her so much, she replied that she did not remember because her memories were scrubbed in her reprogramming. She said that losing the memories helps the reprogramming take better.

Accordingly, it appears that Cam was in fact reprogrammed, unless we postulate that she was lying to John to conceal something."

"Yes the evidence that John never re-progranned Cameron is convincing. For one thing re-programmed Terminators would not kill humans as easily as Cameron did to defend JC. The AFP episode makes little sense if Cameron is concocting a tall story to get information from Allison. First Allison gave out all kinds of personal information rather easily and thus could have been tortured to extract the same information Cameron deduced. Also there were other sources for the bracelet information and why would Allison give out the more valuable information which was location of the path. The behavior of Allison is not that of a person who thinks they are being lied to but rather of one that suspects they are being told the truth but does not like it. There was likely already mixed feelings in the camp about JC using reprogrammed terminators and stepping up to having non re-programmed ones in the camp is not something metal haters would ever trust. "

"Yes I agree with you Accept... It's ridiculous. Cameron was a terminator and she wouldn't just stop being a terminator she had to be reprogrammed. "

"CW was not reprogrammed and does not serve Skynet. However like Cameron she eliminated humans rather easily in pursuit of her agenda. Reprogramming was the required cover story for Cameron. It is unclear whether Derek remembers Cameron in the same timeline. Also she evidently did not lose memories related to killing Allison so why weren't those scrubbed ? "

"Cover story for what? I don't see what Cameron would've gained by lying about her memories, and about being reprogrammed. The only thing I can think is that maybe when they're scrubbed that it's kind of like a hard drive (the chip) data is still there just hidden."
