Everyone really liked it? I thought it was pretty blah. Somehow an explosion messed with Cameron's programming and then scrapping the chip off fixed it? Please.
Cameron would have killed Sarah when she had the chance. That was dumb too.
They should have never have shown us Cameron's point of view when she said she promised not to kill John. It would be much better to leave us wondering whether she's lying of not. Heck if I was her I'd assume John handed her an empty gun anyway and that it was all a test.
And the big dramatic "I'm going to lite the car on fire for no reason now" and the "I'm cutting my hair grrr" scenes where pretty lame.
I hope they have a good back story for that T1000 because it was not acting like a terminator at all IMO.
To me it felt like most of the positive momentum from the end of last season completely died and the show went right back to mindless writing.

Just to respond to the first question above, in my years of repairing electronic devices I can tell you that cleaning contacts has fixed many, many problems. Not being familiar with the cranial construction techniques used in creating Terminators, I would guess that early versions were failing(going bad) due to poor electronic connections due to moisture, oxidation, vibration, etc. I assume those problems went away with the liquid metal versions (T-1000's).
There were a number of people Cameron (and other Terminators as well) could have killed, but didn't, as that was not their mission.
If Cameron's programming still told her to kill John, she could have beaten him to death with the gun he handed her, or crammed the empty magazine down his throat. Point is, when John inserted her chip and she woke up, if she was going to kill John she would have, no weapon needed.

In my years of programming I've never seen an explosion alter software and not only alter it but somehow leave it in a working state after being altered. That would be one extremely rare event.
I guess Cameron also has super special flame retardant skin upgrades cause I figured after the car bomb she'd be skinless to start this season. Instead she has maybe some minor burns on her face and a few cuts. That's pretty impressive too.
I'm thinking this show is on notice. It's got a few more episodes to turn things around or it might drop off the list. Especially considering it will be up against Chuck and How I Met Your Mother fairly soon. Those two are going to leave this one in the dust IMO.

Personally, I was a little skeptical about him fixing it like that too. But if he had really fixed it
Select to view spoiler:
why would she have to override it? Perhaps it still is damaged and maybe all he was doing was cleaning it? Pretty weak, I know, but it's a little early to judge. Personally I think the whole redemption and resurrection thing is going to play a major part. Also, don't presume what she'd do about Sarah. We don't know how bad her programming was damaged or what her real intent is yet...so let's give 'em the benifit of the doubt.
I did like her pleading when he's dismantling her though. Scray about how something like that can manipulate so easily; I actually felt a sort of pity/revulsion thing when I saw it, just because I knew it was fake, but Summer was really looking like she was scared and about to cry.

There's a widow in sleepy Chester
Who weeps for her only son;
There's a grave on the Pabeng River,
A grave that the Burmans shun;
And there's Subadar Prag Tewarri
Who tells how the work was done.

That doesn't matter, considering they skipped over T3 with the time jump at the beginning of the first season.

Completely agree. The makers have basically said that T3 has no bearing on what they are doing. All events in that movie should be ignored in relation to this series. That timeline will continue in T4.
As for Cameron being skinless then yes, if TV shows were to be realistic then she would at least have had her clothes burnt away if not all her skin as well. I haven't seen a show yet that treats this properly where a hero character is concerned. Look at Smallville and the amount of explosions Clark Kent is in. Fair enough he won't be damaged but all his clothes do is smoke a little and gain a few holes. This happens in a lot of other shows
Part of Camerons appeal for the makers is that it is Summer playing her and the way she looks. Shallow as it may be it is true. They are not gonna mess up the pretties too much or for a long time because of that appeal. That's why we get a few cuts and marks and not more serious damage.
It may not be realistic but it's the way it is.

You're both ignoring the obvious: Her hair!
In the first film, Arnold's hair was much longer before he jumped through a fireball... and went the rest of the movie with a buzz cut (which seemed to be the default hairstyle as of T2).
When the Jeep blew up at the end of Season 1, I thought, "Oh, great, Summer's gonna have to do the Natalie Portman thing!"
But except for being a bit bedraggled, the hair was fine.
Then the water heater blew up behind her — and, again, the hair was fine.
