Discussion: The Engineer_Who is he?

"My theory on the Engineer, is that he probably had more jobs than just the bank job. He could have got a job at a nuclear powerplant, because where else could he get access to a low radioactive isotope? Nuke powerplants probably have clean room enviroments,hazmat suits,and Geiger counters. He also could have got a job at a local hardware store which might explain where he got the parts and components for the rifle. He might have got a job at a government facility which had advanced(at the time) computer equipment to use in building of the TDE (Time Displacement Equipment). And he could have built another set of Isotope-fueled rifles and TDE in a different place Cameron hasn't told John and Sarah about. He could have built a makeshift vat for repairing damaged skin for terminators, this room would probably contain baby food (which helps speed up the skin repair process) and medical supplies for hiding the damaged skin that hasn't been repaired yet. He might have store parts he found and at least six bars of coltan, and a few unprogrammed CPUs for Cameron to use to build another terminator to protect John.Cameron probably wants to even the odds because Skynet sent back so many terminators back through time, so two terminators would be better than one to protect John.So thats my theory on the Engineer."

"The time machine vault would only open with a retina scan of Cameron's eyes. This would require complete data set - not to mention detailed knowledge of all the specs for the machine etc.... Since it is not possible for non organic material to be bought back through a time portal - How do you get all that data back in time and in a format accessible to the Engineer? The obvious answer is that the Engineer had a computer in their Brain or their Brain was a computer. Taking this line of thought and combing it with the Retina Scans I would suggest that the Engineer is Cameron herself."

"That would be a good subplot, because personally they didn't seem to explain alot about him in the one episode he was mentioned. It was sort of like Cameron purposely didn't explain much about who he OR she was."
