>But it seems like most of the people who like John and Cameron together don't think of Cameron as a robot — they think of her as being advanced (evolved?) to the point of having human type emotions and feelings.
I don't think of Cameron as having "human" type emotions and feelings, but I think of her as being advanced enough to have developed a completely different set of emotion-like-mental-processes that make an actual relationship okay in my mind. There's an interview with Summer Glau where she says something like "John is Cameron's entire reason for existing, without him her life has no purpose, and she is devoted to him. I think, for a robot, that's like love." That's pretty much what I feel. And it just occurs to me now that there's a parallel between Cameron and Sarah there.
Cameron will never be able to feel what John feels for her, but neither will he be able to feel what she feels for him, and I don't think either form of love is necessarily "better."
(Yes, I'm totally a John/Cameron shipper, but I also want it to happen in a way that's appropriate and interesting, and also don't think their relationship necessarily needs to seem "romantic." I was really impressed by their scene in Born to Run because it went off in a direction never would have expected yet was far more appropriate than any driveling fanboy's vision)
>The eel being a part of the Weaverbot - could be very significant in S3 plot developments.
I originally thought Savanah might have been an extension of Weaver (back when we only knew she existed). I'm glad they went the route they did, but they could still do something similar in the future.
