"That sequence where Cameron cuts herself open and gets John to inspect her insides seems like she was testing her readiness for the jail and ZeiraCorp. missions. But maybe it was something else?"


I'm pretty sure it was just a quick bit of "what can we do include Glau nuding up". She had John put his hand in below her ribcage and reach up inside. WTF logical reason would there be for her to take off her bra first? Shirt? Yeah, fine, whatever, but the only reason I can see to go further was to get all the Glau fanboys drooling. Reply

@Purple Dave: Yeah, maybe it's that simple. Or Maybe they were talking about it earlier and Cameron has been known to be damaged, the thought crossed his mind that maybe she was leaking radiation and giving his mom cancer. She said she was fine, but she's lied before and they both knew it, to prove that she could be trusted when it came down to it she showed him that she wasn't lying.


It's really more symbolic also, she let him reach inside and put his hand on her heart. That's pretty much ultimate trust. Reply

@Laughtrey:
Congratulations on totally missing the point of my post. The whole "check for damage" bit makes sense. The whole "take the bra off to check for damage through the belly, which is not immediately adjacent to anything the bra covered" bit was clearly just thrown in there for the Glau-fappers.

@Purple Dave: I think she had him cut beneath chest, not her belly.


If that was the case, then a bra would possibly get in the way. Reply

@Iamtehawesome:
No, she had said something about reaching up underneath the ribs, so it would have to be a belly entry. In retrospect, I suppose it could have been worse. I'm sure if they thought they could have snuck it past the Fox censors, they would have had her fully nude up and cross her ankles behind her neck before handing the knife to John.
