How does Chola fit into the story and is she another Terminator?
Mar 21 2008, 7:22 PM EDT
Chola mysteriously shows up, sans emotion, to drive John and Cameron back home. How does Chola fit into the storyline? Is she another Terminator?

Post your ideas here and check out the Sarah Connor Chronicles: Season 2 Predictions page for more dishing and dissecting on Season 1!

First of all, I believe Chola is a different kind of Terminator more along the lines of a protector. Sent by future John to protect Enrique.

Second, Cameron knows Chola's mission is not directed at John, nor is Chola targeting Skynet. Cameron asked Chola if she would have to kill her, and then gives her a gun, basically saying I know you are a terminator unit. but you are not a treat John. Because Chola never answers, Cameron is convinced that Chola is a "protector" as opposed to a "terminator".

Me thinks future John is turning out "terminators" faster than Skynet! :-)

"Me thinks future John is turning out "terminators" faster than Skynet! :-)

I don't know if John is making machines or not but I definitely think that there are two factions of them. Blues and Reds if you will. Good ones and bad ones.

As for Chola being one -- some have said that Cameron imitated her and that proved she was not. But if she'd been there longer than Cameron she might have learned some behavior Cameron did not - so why wouldn't Cameron imitate her to see what she had learned.

If Chola is a terminator she learned her behavior from Enrique and crew. Infiltration - fitting in. I certainly don't think that Cameron was about to go up to her if she was another or John's terminators and say ' Hey, girl how ya doing?" and high five her.

She wouldn't have wanted to compromise Chola's mission or expose either one of them. Both Sarah and Enrique would be asking "how do yall know one another."

I actually think Cameron may have given her the gun to complete another mission of some kind. It may be that in allowing Enrique to die she failed her original mission -- I hope he wasn't one of John's future Generals.

Forgot to say(need an edit button) that if John is making his own terminators it would explain why he was so isolated. A lot of people would not understand and he might be a target by his own people.

And if he has become an expert who's to say it wasn't within him all along. If they keep getting rid of all these people that could possibly build skynet who in the end is left with the capability and savvy to create skynet but John Conner. Then again if that were to happen would it really be the same kind of machine.

Agree with everything you stated. Hopefully Season 2 (positive attitude here) will offer answers a lot faster than "Lost".

FYI: "Chola" is not really a name. It's inner city slang for a girl of Hispanic decent.

Thought I would throw that in! :-)

Antoher thing. There wasn't any reason for Cameron to mosey on up to Chola other than to get next to another friendly terminator. If you remember "I, Robot", they tend to group together <lol>!

Seriously, Cameron was eyeballing this terminator to see if it was a threat. It wasn't. She then starts to mimic Chola in facial expression, leaning up against the car, etc. Actually, it was a pretty funny scene. One terminator checking out another saying "I can do what you can do".

why does everyone think she's a terminator??

she's definitely not. remember when she showed up Sarah's house covered in blood in the last episode? that was a very human scene.

she's not a robot

I don't want to see her revealing to be a machine. Hey, what if EVERYONE was a Terminator ? They've managed not to make the show a "Terminator of the week", no I don't want it to be a "Who's a Terminator this time ?" kind of show. 9  out of 14 found this valuable. Do you?

Her behavior is quite unusual. I havent heard her say anything yet, she has been less vocal than any other character on the show. Not saying that means she is. And her demenor is rather stern...like that of a terminator. She doesnt seem to be bothered by a whole lot. People usuallu show some kind of emotion at some point. 6  out of 6 found this valuable.

Well in episode 2 she was drinking a cola and walked past the dogs to bring Sarah and Cameron to meet Enrique, and then the dogs go nuts on Cameron, but not Chola, I'd say that kinda makes it unlikely shes a Crome Dome 10  out of 14 found this valuable. Do you?

Perhaps Chola is just a sad girl who's lost everyone she loved.

A Terminator would not have the blood of loved ones on it's shirt.
The stain was in front as if she hugged one of the killed gang.
She a human that very tough, stoic, and obviously very quite.

She's not a terminator the dogs didn't bark at her. Just because a person doesn't show emotions all the time doesn't make them a machine. She looks to be a gang banner (duh) lol and remember when teh cop cam eover to question her and Cameron. he had asked her if Cameron was someone he needed to know since she was "hanging" out in front of the house. Street taugh chicks act hard just like their male counter parts. Emotions equal weakness. 9  out of 10 found this valuable. Do you?

Now that is a really interesting idea.Skynet has competition other than John Conner.

The girl is showing too much emotion - which while it isn't a lot, is enough - and if someone's not mentioned it, Enrique was the old man.

Keeping her face under unmarred by emotions is part of being close to the gang.

Totally agree! She's not a terminator, and I think it would be stupid to make her one. I mean, just how many of these things are running around?
