On the bright side, maybe Cameron will be in T4, and Summer may get more big screen time.

I know the only way to guarantee that I pay $$$$ to see it on the big screen is to put Summer in there.

But, you know, I looooovee Summer

If it's during the early versions of the terminators, they wouldn't have dermal shells yet - they wouldn't need to have them until they need to send one back in time or for infiltration of the remaining human groups.

But, the Cameron model would likely be based upon the image of a real person, likely one of rebel honor - so Summer could play that role, the human champion of the Resistance, who the Cameron model was made to look like. Although Kate Brewster is who he marries, maybe the Cameron image was used because it was known John would find her attractive, because he did in the future?

Wild speculation here but:
What if Cameron was(will be?) John & Kates daughter in the future? Their daughter dies, John & Co. capture a T-factory & John in effect 'commissions' a custom one-off of his favorite child with a modified neural network to make her capable of more humanity than any other T model. Sends her (or perhaps one of her) back in time to protect his younger self. Young John (who by TTSCC) already has met/liked Kate, sees enough of her in Cameron to get him interested but enough of himself to make 'sister' a convincing cover...

Despite popular opinion, and that of most at FFF, I really liked Terminator 3. I don't see any problem with how SCC is handling the storyline...in fact they've gone off on plotlines I find quite fascinating. Christian Bale should be able to do a great job as John Connor. I wonder if Claire Danes will reprise her role as the future Mrs. Connor however. Also, you really cannot quantify time travel effects to any logical single conclusion. In the first place they have never really explained how the device actually works, and like almost all time travel presentations they fail to consider the most basic element to it...that of objects in space travelling at great speeds. The Earth and everything on it orbits the sun, and the entire solar system orbits the galactic center....so if you time travel 20 years into the past, you also need a method to travel hundreds of millions of miles to "capture" Earth...'cause it 'aint where it used to be ...it's far far away.

Aside from some small 'shared elements', T3 and TSCC have no correlation to one another. That should've been made pretty obvious by A) Judgment Day - according to TSCC - occuring in April of 2011 (T3's Judgment Day occurred in 2004) and B) the fact that, in the pilot, the characters jumped to the year 2007 (the show's internal timeline has now progressed to February 2008 as of last Monday's finale).

You know, if you listen to the opening monologue, you gain some solid insight into how this story is being written.

"In the future, my son will lead mankind in a war on SkyNet, the computer system programmed to destory the world.

"It has sent machines back through time.

"Some to kill him.

"One to protect him."

So according to the show, SkyNet itself sent Cameron back to protect John Connor.

Now, I may not be a super intelligent computer and all, but I think it's pretty stupid to send a robot back to protect Connor at the same time I'm trying to kill him.

Add to that the many gaping holes in the story, such as decapitated robots chilling around in a trashed bank vault for ten years without being found, and I see this whole series as a huge gaping disappointment to Terminator fans.

Pretty much everyone I know who watches it says the same thing.

"Well, it's got Summer Glau in it."

I don't think that's a good enough excuse, frankly.

Yeah, I don't understand why the voice over says that, because I'm pretty sure that in the pilot Summer's character says that she was sent back by John in the future. So I don't really know what that deal is.

For those who don't see how the show is an alternate timeline from the movies: In the movies, though Judgement Day was delayed, it did happen on-screen in T3 in 2004 , and that date has now passed, both in real time and on the series.

And further, I did find some interviews with showrunner Josh Freidman as well as some cast members, all saying that the show follows T2, but is a seperate timeline from T3.

I was gonna point that out, while certain parts of the T3 timeline are referenced (Sarah dying) there has IIRC never been any direct connections between T3 and SCC and everything I've heard from the beginning has always said that SCC comes from T2 and ignores T3.

Perhaps this will be the fork, T4 will continue the T3 timeline and SCC, SCC: The Next Iteration, SCC: Explorer, SCC: Deep Sea Three and SCC: The Prequel will continue an alternate T2 timeline.
