I reckon Cameron's particular F!J's dead and Cam's sent herself back to work everything to her own scheme. The "join us" thing is her idea, the seduction is her idea and she has an end game.
That's what I think too. the future we've seen of Cameron before isn't the one John is in now. But there was definitely something odd about future!John in it. I agree with you that future!John was dead and Cameron was completely running things while pretending she was acting on his orders. So she tried to work a deal with liquid metal (Weaver) and when that failed, she sent herself back to make things work out differently. But then Weaver sent herself back to make things work out differently too. So the mysterious "will you join us" plan is on. I think it's bad news for humans, though.
You mention John needing therapy, I recommend: Slap therapy.
LOL. Yeah some of that might help. Sarah pretty much lets John get away with every screw up, relying on him learning the lessons of his mistakes. But he clearly doesn't always. Never trust the metal! "They can feel things. They don't know love." "People matter." The boy really should listen to his mom more. but he got suckered in by Cameron. Bad John Connor!
the pounding her character took at the end of this one was such a disappointment.
Yeah that hit me so hard. It was just so OOC for Sarah. She was in a very difficult situation — watch John go alone or go with him and skip out on trying to stop Skynet. But at least if she'd been trying desperately to talk him out of it all the way until the moment he left, I'd feel a lot better about it.
