So what exactly does she do ALL night?
Jul 5 2008, 7:01 PM EDT
This place is for us to discuss what Cameron might do every night since she doesn't sleep.
I mean she has not really adjusted her attitude or attire in an extreme way like one might expect her to after a whole night of MTV, MTV2, MTV Jams, MTV Hits, and the such.
I think she might have already built a bunker, an escape tunnel, gotten every supply they might need, do security rounds, check on family members, and check the neighbors' night patterns.
However, I also think that she has a thirst for human culture, so she can act more human and perhaps even be more human. It is here that things might get a little muddy.
We know the connors have access to the internet but do they have a satellite dish? An x-box 360 with a live account?

She maybe reading to learn because she learned Armenian with regard to Sarkisian quite fast. So she may do undercover work also.(Like when she impersinated a cop. When she went to find the missing arm at night. Then she may also be like on a sort of servailence mode to keep an eye on John and Sarah etc.

probably she just stalks around the house, occasionally fingering objects and trying to figure out what they are and what they're for. she doesn't strike me as the kind of terminator that might go gallivanting in the night, when she could just stay home. and anyway, doesn't she have to stay in the house and make sure no other terminators come breaking in and trying to strangle John to death in his sleep? or maybe I'm wrong, maybe she's just sitting in front of the TV with the sound off and memorizing human body-language. 4  out of 4 found this valuable.

But she did. She caused a black out over night trying to find the missing arm.

"Disk clean and Defragment Because the NTFS isn't all it's cracked up to be."
Yes it is. NTFS preallocates to minimize fragmentation and uses a journal to minimize corruption. The joke works better on HFSJ which, despite using a journal, still manages to lose data.

Cameron wouldn't be caught offline using decades-old obsolete crap like NTFS anyway. Cameron doesn't know how to use a DVD player because she was built in the '20s.

When she's not watching The Gadget Show, reading fashion magazines, or watching John sleep, Cameron monitors all news sources for signs of Skynet's activities.

The Connors probably piggyback on all of their neighbors' Wi-Fi connections. WEP really blows.

She keeps a lookout for Cromartie (and others in general who wish to do John harm) just like Arnold did when Sarah was watching him in the garage in T2. He was standing there with the shotgun and the next minute it was daylight and he was still holding the shotgun in the same stance. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

Maybe she's like Cinderella, Sarah is the evil stepmother, and Derek is the evil stepbrother. John is still undecided since he can be a real jerk sometimes but there is the chance that he might turn out to be prince charming and rescues her.
Maybe she just likes to dance the night away kind of like Christopher Walken in the musci video "Weapon of Choice" by Fatboy Slim.
Maybe she likes to dissect small animals to learn more about them.
Maybe she plugs herself to the nearest socket and enjoys the rush.
Maybe she is confused about so many things that happen to her everyday and uses the night to sort them out.

"Maybe she plugs herself to the nearest socket and enjoys the rush."
John: "Cameron, why are you spending so much time in the bathroom? Are you jacking on in there?"
Cameron: "No! Don't open the door!"

Bzzzt. Lights flicker.

Sarah: "John, why is the electric bill so high?"

Two minutes later, Cameron opens the bathroom door. John and Sarah glare at her.

Cameron: "What?"

Maybe she spends countless hours in front of the mirror perfecting her expressions, movements, perhaps even body language.
Maybe she wonders what makes guys crave sex so much.
Maybe she's writting an autobiography and thinking about a movie deal.
Maybe she is hooked to videogames and computer games.
Maybe she is memorizing all sorts of sexual stuff to please John once they get married.
Maybe she is the realwbemaster of this wiki forum and works on it at night.
Maybe she says that she never sleeps but she really does.
Maybe she is just afraid to sleep again because she had a really bad dream once.
Maybe she's afraid that if she looses conciousness her evil personality will surface and take control.
Maybe she likes the Home shopping network.
Maybe she is trying to gather as much of humanity's culture so that she might presserve it once everything is gone.
Maybe she sneaks out really quietly and goes home with her husband Cromartie. They talk about their day, then they go to sleep. She wakes up really early in the morning and sneaks back into the house and waits for the Connors to wake up.
Maybe she's thinking all night how to ask Sarah to take cooking classes or at least let her do the cooking more often.
Maybe she is so excited to be alive that she doesn't want to miss anything by going to sleep.

Well, Data on Star Trek TNG and the 'Doctor' (he has no name. A Trekkie factoid) used their off time to pursue culture and literature. They both learned musical instruments, painted and acted in plays. The Doctor got so carried away that he overflowed his memory matrix. They had to download him into DS9's computers, enlarge the matrix, and reupload. They thought about saying "screw it" and rebooting from the system disks. But that would have lost everything he learned since he was activated. Do you find this valuable?

She's practicing for her next performance on Terminator Idol.
She goes out sleepwalking.
She does sleep. It's called Economy Mode.
Carter was going to be lonely in the bunker, so before she left, she gave him her phone number so he could call her after midnight.
She watches the Connors sleep, so that she knows what it looks and sounds like and when she's infiltrating, she can pretend sleep by making the same noises and same movements and be convincing.
She plays computer games inside her ahead. She always wins.
Just to make sure nobody has been in the house during the day, she goes on patrol noting the positions of every single object in the house. If something has moved, she knows someone's been here.
She goes outside to experiment with dogs, trying to find out why and when they bark at her.
At night she's a burglar, breaking into people's homes and stealing their money and jewellery. That's why the Connor's have food on the table every day.
She goes out robbing banks.
She's at the local brothel being a bitch whore.
It's the only time she can do it without looking like a freak. She experiments with make up and wonders what will get John excited.
She's at the pub with the boys, drinking beer, making conversation and listening to pick-up lines.
She's Tin-Man, the girl with a metal plate in her head, so she goes out to do some street-fighting.
She's out stealing people's clothes so she can wear them at school the next day.
She never really owned a car. She's a car thief. Every car she drives has been stolen. It usually comes home with someone stuffed in the trunk.
Cameron has a new friend. It's Vick's chip! She reprogrammed him to keep her company at night while everybody slept.
The rats come out at night and she's good at catching them.

Extra details:

1. She never really owned a car. She's a car thief. Every car she drives has been stolen. It usually comes home with someone stuffed in the trunk.
Extra: the dead guy usually comes with a phone and it rings a few minutes after she gets home with Sarkissian's voice on the other side.

2. Cameron has a new friend. It's Vick's chip! She reprogrammed him to keep her company at night while everybody slept.
Extra: She hooks him up to the laptop, with microphone, camera and speakers and they talk to each other all night long. She takes the laptop into the lounge so they can watch TV together.

oh heck. I had a brain fart. 'The Doctor' was on Voyager not DS9. But, he did nearly perish when his matrix overflowed.

Also, Data did experiment with sleeping in one episode. I don't think it was brought up again in the storyline.

Man, I wish this board allowed updates. Every typo and brain fart lives forever on this board. It's a major SNAFU. Any vets can tell you what that is. Semper Fi

She's addicted to old soap operas on the Soaps Network.

John wakes up and sleepily walks towards the living room, rubbing his eyes. He hears this coming from the TV:

"Like sands through the hour glass, so are the Days of Our Lives."

Cameron has four bags of different types of chips layed out on the coffee table and she's distractedly grabbing some and munching away while starring raptly at the flickering tube. She's wrapped in a blanket. A box of Kleenex is by her side, and her eyes are moist as if she's been crying, and is dabbing at her eyes with a tissue with the other hand. She doesn't even notice John has entered yet.

Cameron [talking softly to the characters on the set]: "Brad, don't go to Barbara's house! She's sleeping with Dave and Rex from the bar! You'll be devastated! No, Brad! Don't open that door!"

On the TV: "Barbara, how could you and after I saved your dog Barnie's life by giving it mouth to mouth resuscitation after your daughter Vickie poisoned him!

Brad, it isn't what it looks like! They're just friends, really!

Oh"

John: "What the hell? Cameron?"

Cameron [jumps, glances at John, and sheepishly slides under her quilted blanket as if hiding]: "Go back to bed, John. It's only a nightmare. You're sleep walking."

John: "No wonder the electric bill has gone up, and now I know how all my bags of chips have been disappearing! Um, is that 'Days of Our Lives?'"

Cameron [lifting the blanket off her head]: "Yes."

John: "The one where Rhonda gets kidnapped by aliens and has a sex change operation?"

Cameron [more excitedly]: "Yes, and Billy and Vickie have an illegitimate love child."

John: "Move over, I'll join you."
