Discussion: What's the deal with Cameron's behavior now?

"I can't figure out why Cameron was so friendly, and personable in the first episode--to the point where she totally faked John out, and now she's a total robot?! "

"The only thing "cybernetic" about Terminators is a skin-coat disguise of flesh. They ARE robots. God knows why they wanted to portray these things as having genuine emotions for this television show, as opposed to using the illusion of them, purely fo rinfiltation purposes."

"Perhaps, if they would have added more human componets to Terminators (or some special ones) such as human brains or other organs (Robocop-like), they would be received more as true Cyborg creatures, but really they have closer to robots then humans or cyborgs. Yes, they may have flesh and blood, but they have metal frames for bodys and cybornetic brains (sort of Data like from ST:TNG).

Well I am sure not all reading this would agree with me but I think that would have made for an interesting twist in this series. In the future, the resistance would have to rebuild its wounded troops with whatever was available (parts from fallen terminators I would think). That could have explained how Cameron came about. She is part Human and part machine (mostly machine). But that is not how this is taking shape at all."

"Cameron was nice in the first episode because she was programmed to gain his trust and friendship.
Now that they are friends and he trusts her she is no longer obligated to act nice."

"What about act like a human? Cameron acted more like a regular human in the Pilot and first episode then how she acted in the Turk? She acted more like a robot than a human. "

"Cameron is learning. But her mission isn't to act more human and seduce John. It's to make sure these two survive and to take on Skynet. The funniest part was when Sarah states to Cameron "nobody dies unless I say so". Uh, Sarah, we've established that you are not the boss. Cameron is humoring you. She "fooled them again" by having an intelligent retort to her illogical statement. When it comes down to it, Cameron will do what she needs to do. Like crushing any chances for John to have a girlfriend. She can't let him do that. He would get that girlfriend killed. Or he would tell her too much and endanger himself. John can't get arrested, or get institutionalized, it would be too easy for Cromartie to find him and kill him. That cop is going to play a larger role, he is onto them. And he's listed among the four main stars, so the cops and maybe the feds will be hunting them as well. "
