After the November 10th episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles aired, fans asked the producers, in a live online chat, whether or not it would be a good idea for a human to sleep with a Terminator.

“But it’s Summer Glau!” answered writer Dan Thomsen.
The comments - not to mention the increasing hints of Cameron’s (Glau’s Terminator character) humanity - brought forth many discussions online. From the inquiries as to the nature of John and Cameron’s future relationship to the pondering on whether or not our current television audience is ready for such a romance to play out on television, no ground was left untouched.
Thomsen’s comments not only hold quite its fair share of persuasive power (It is Summer Glau, and what teenaged boy would not be thinking about it, right?) but also appear to be pointedly highlighted by the show’s growing dedication in showing us just how human Cameron actually can be.

Something that was made very clear in this week’s episode, “Complications”.
“I don’t think you understand how we work. I have sensation. I feel. I wouldn’t be worth much if I couldn’t feel.”

Somewhere in the back of his mind, John’s wet dreams are coming true.
But seriously, John and Cameron’s bond has grown over the course of the show. And the truth is, this season of Terminator has made it a point to bring Cameron’s humanity to the forefront. Whether it be by showing us her human origins, or by having her emulate John and Sarah’s human traits more and more, we have been privy to a lot of character evolution this year. And this episode furthered it all by not only evoking these very telling words, but also by showing us all the little smiles and glances Cameron has begun throwing John’s way.

And perhaps the explicit verbalisation of the fact that, yes, she does have physical sensation, is as much for the audience’s sake as John’s. After all, knowing she would enjoy a physical encounter - or at least feel it - does alleviate the awkwardness of the thought a bit, doesn’t it?
Without this increasing humanizing of Cameron, the idea of a human and a Robot having any kind of physical or emotional relationship might seem awkward, unnecessary and just downright wrong. But if this show has managed to do at least one thing, it is perhaps to make the relationship between Cameron and John Connor feel extremely genuine despite all of the above. Whether it’d be Cameron telling John she loves him in the season two premiere, or her clever use of subtle seduction when trying to get John to listen to her, the signs have all been there. She can not only emulate human emotions well; she often seems to assimilate them so well they almost seem real.

She cries (as we have seen in the brilliant episode Alison From Palmdale), she eats (Pilot episode), and she has sensations (Complications episode). We have even been led to believe that maybe, just maybe, she sometimes has some decision power of her own. And there have been numerous hints as to just how deep their connection is in the future she comes from.
It is debatable what chord the writers were actually attempting to strike with Cameron’s sensations line (during which Cameron almost seemed awed by it all), but one thing is certain: it brought forth all kinds of possibilities. Possibilities that could potentially bring a lot more to the storytelling (and dare we hope to the ratings).

Есть же ролик по первому сезону, где выложены неудачные дубли, когда актёров пробивало на смех.

Насколько я знаю актёров, бывает, что они срываются на смех, это даже не так уж редко случается, но просто лишнего улыбаться где не надо, не станут.
