Discussion: School Secrets

"I may be wrong but I think I figured out some of the Jordan story, if you watch the scene where Cameron go’s to grief counselling with Mr Harris he keeps pressing her about what Jordan told her.
H.”Did Jordan mention any names? Any specific people that she was upset with?
C. “Her parents”
H. “Anyone else?”
C. “The hall monitors”
H. “Anyone else?”
C. “You ask that question a lot, is there anything else you want to tell me?”
H. “I don’t think I told you anything”
C. “Oh, Ok, Can I go now? I’m done with grief counselling and I feel much better”
H. “yes, please, go”
It isn’t so much what is said but Cameron’s reaction to what Mr Harris is asking that I find interesting, its like she has figured out why he’s asking her questions which has nothing to do with grief counselling and from his perspective he doesn’t know what he’s just let slip. If Mr Harris was having an affair with Jordan that’s something she might kill herself over than let it get out and he would have a vested interest in finding out if she had told anybody before she died. Also he has a baseball on his desk which ties into the graffiti in Jordan’s locker (deleted scene)"

"And yes what's up with that girl in John's school that she is so secretive. I'm sure her dad has to do with the main plot of skynet somehow. Any Ideas who her father may be?"

"That entire school episode was altered due to the on-campus killings at Virginia Tech. In the original script, every kid in the classroom was killed or severely injured. They toned it down by having Cromartie shoot at everything and miss. Terminators are really bad shots. "

"I think the school story has been largely overlooked, it seems that the writers were setting up some sort of storyline involving the people at school and the secrets they are hiding but didn’t have time to move it along much. Any theories?"

"Writers strike threw off the stroy arc. I agree, I definately see potential with the school secrets. Might normalize the tale for John a bit."

"I think Ellison, for the time beeing, has enough issues of his own to deal with, he sort of lost an entire SWAT team, and won't be able to help himself let alone two wanted fugitives and their gorgeouse bodyguard. But I would like to see more of the school plot as well."
