Melissa loves geeky things. Fanfiction, Dr. Who, cosplay, comic book tattoos, skinny guys with a penchant for historical LARPing - these are all a few of her favorite things. She spends her days pretending to work diligently at her writing, when really she plays epic games of Flash Battleship and fake knife fights around the livingroom. When she finally tires of that, she manages to bang out reviews and articles about all of the awesome fangeeky things she's thought about that day. She kinda wishes she could make tons of money at it, but knows she would just spend it all on super hero capes for her cat and a herd of Aldabra tortoises for her yard. 2 Comments

I love that they’re giving Cameron/Allison such a complex backstory. Not the least of which because it gives Summer Glau the chance to really show her range as an actor. The flashback interrogation where she was playing both parts just floored me. I guess now we know where she got those believable crying skills she used back in the season premiere.
I actually liked the quiet storyline between Sarah, Casey, and Trevor. It showed that Sarah hasn’t entirely shut down her emotions for anyone outside her little family unit. I think a lot of her discomfort around ordinary people is the knowledge that she is putting them in danger just by associating with them. She has almost destroyed Charlie twice now, first staying with him long enough to be tracked down by the terminators, and just last week by getting his wife killed. She doesn’t like the thought of messing up more people’s futures, but she does want the innocent people around her to be able to live their lives and be happy.
I agree with Robin…Summer Glau is an amazing actor!!! I've seen her in other series and she always becomes my favourite character, especially in Terminator.
