Catherine Weaver probably? My guess is that it has as much to do with Cameron's "human-ness" as it does with her physical ability as a cyborg. Because that's always the element that allows humans to beat robots in movies and TV, right? In the end, humans are more creative, more resourceful, more stubborn, more passionate, and more motivated, and are able to use these qualities to win out, even when the robot opponent is technically more powerful. So if Cameron is even a fraction more human than the other terminators, she'll always have a bit of an advantage. Yeah, I’m wondering when Cameron will meet her match. Catherine Weaver probably?

It was driving me nuts trying to figure out where I'd seen Jesse before. I'm not sure why the redhead terminator temp stopped fighting when the humans got on board the elevator, but it was a spark of humor that keeps this show from getting too heavy (especially given the topic this week). So, this is another example of Cameron being a a suped-up terminator, because the other didn't really stand a chance (even the larger, and presumably stronger, "male" cyborgs always come up on the short end with her).
