Talk:Cameron (Terminator)

message: It seems she is trying to collect parts to build a terminator and/or design skynet. At the end of episode 6 it is shown that reese did kill andy, yet he left without taking the computer, turk. Who did take the computer?
She seems to be expressing grief for killing the T-888
She looks about to smother reese with the pillow before Sarah comes in (she is worried he will recognise her, as he obviously does?)
The title introduction says Skynet sent back some to kill john, one to help - implying Skynet sent her back. 87.194.193.49 (talk) 08:16, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And? All of this is near baseless speculation. We have no idea why she's collecting bits and pieces of other Terminators. The Russian Good wa spartnered with is implied to be the one who has the Turk by Derek. We have no idea whose grief she is expressing regarding the note, or why she's even writing the note. She's standing next to Reese with the pillow, she could have simply been bringing it to him. Any speculation regarding her motivations and intentions thus far is just that: speculation, with no real hard evidence of what she's intending. Peptuck (talk) 08:28, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

text: She's a terminator, she doesn't kill people by strangling them with pillows, she snaps their neck with her index finger and thumb. There was nothing sinister about the pillow. --Joffeloff (talk) 13:29, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Possibly she's securing her own existence or following unknown orders. Next there is the problem of different time lines, the moment a backward time jump is made history is rewritten after all. --Scandum 15:53, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I do agree with your last part- the voiceover during the title sequence implies that Skynet sent Cameron back, not John (even though it has also been stated that John sent her back). I believe this is a clue, as such an inconsistency is not likely to have been overlooked, especially in the title sequence. I have no suggestions for an edit to reflect this though; guess we'll have to wait and see.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.137.207 (talk) 05:50, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Evil?

message: If anyone else watches the show, they'd know her real name is Allison. This is documented and verifiable, so it is NOT VANDALISM. Please explain how it is.
:Based on the last episode, Allison was the woman Cameron was based upon. They are not the same.  Maybe you should wait until the end of the show before editing Wikipedia.  Fletcher (talk) 01:16, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's Alison with one L also - you see her write the name at the halfway house in the Ep and it is spelled "Alison" - Also, what's this bit in the article about it not being clear if Alison is killed or not? The snap of her neck is a bit of a giveaway isnt it?70.180.211.82 (talk) 04:20, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The episode's name is listed as "Allison from Palmdale" so it is an inconsistency as to whether her name is spelled with one or two L's.Mraven15 (talk) 20:41, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Isn't calling Cameron a Gynoid more correct than cyborg? Therubicon (talk) 22:51, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. IMO cyborg is a more accurate term and is widely used in the franchise.  Gynoid seems inaccurate/not specific enough - I have reverted the opening sentence to use the term cyborg 87.114.179.126 (talk) 03:24, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cyborg vs Gynoid 

message: These two sections contain over a dozen paragraphs and only one source.  I'll give it a couple of days, and then I'm removing both sections completely unless someone else does it before me.  That is, unless plenty of sources are added.  Otherwise, those two entire sections look like little more than fan reactions and commentary.  Chicken Wing (talk) 22:28, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with your assessment of the sections, but the source is the show. I have been watching over these SCC related articles since the season's premier and there are a lot of opinionated edits, which I revert, but I don't like deleting information that is true, even though the articles are looking like "Terminator Wikia". --< Nicht Nein! (talk) 23:55, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If that's the case, I think the show's episodes, producers, DVD commentary, official literature, or critical reviews should be cited to get that information -- at least for the "characteristics" part.  The "unexplained behavior" is almost certainly original fan research and speculation.  Chicken Wing (talk) 02:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

message: :Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *Support or *Oppose, then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
:*Support: Naming conventions suggest that the most commonly-used name for an individual should be used as the title.  While "Cameron Phillips" has been used in publicity materials outside the show, within the show itself, which, by definition, has to be the primary source, the "Phillips" surname was only used in the pilot episode and, as far as I can remember, has never been mentioned since.  Since that time, she's gone with "Baum", following the alias assumed by the Connors and, while I know that we should never assume anything on Wikipedia, it seems likely that, should that alias change, she would go with whatever the new name was.  There's certainly no evidence that "Phillips" was anything more than an assumed surname, much as "Baum" is now.  With Cameron being the only consistently used name, it seems reasonable that the article name should be altered to reflect that.  --Tailkinker (talk) 21:01, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

message: In "Samson and Delilah", Cameron sustains significant damage...
John substantially repairs her chip in the field and reactivates her.
It's very unlikely that John could be able to repair such a highly advanced chip. Might be the reason why we could only see him cleaning it. --StYxXx (talk) 05:00, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: We don't know that, and have to go on what the episodes give us and what reviewers say afterward. You should seek out a reliable source that addresses the unlikelihood of John being able to effect such repairs. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 01:24, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Samson & Delilah 

message: Clearly, the emerging consensus is that the entire information isn't going to remain. Ou best bet at this point i to find a way to trim the section drastically. A good way to do this is try and rely on that information which can be cited externally (ie, not citing the episode). This seems the more encyclopedic route. Thoughts? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 20:57, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. However, I'm no expert on this subject, so someone familiar with the character should do the trimming. Artichoker[talk] 22:15, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
