I'm a fan of the show....but the last 2 episodes make me say
I agree 100% and this past episode just had me completely confused to what was going on.

The Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles panel had Josh Friedman, Summer Glau and Shirley Manson in attendance.
The panel started with a preview of upcoming scenes from the rest of the season. First, we watched Catherine Weavers daughter skipping down a typical hall in her mom’s big company. She accidentally finds John Henry. John Henry asks her if she wants to play hide and seek. The door shuts behind the little girl, but John Henry is across the room and it seemed obvious the little girl didn’t shut it. Creepy imagery.
A few of the other scenes we’ve already seen on TV, but there was a new scene where John is laying on top of Cameron, sort of breathing hard… no, no… fully clothed… but still. I think it’s a misdirect cause I can’t wrap my mind around that one yet. This isn’t Westworld!
So let’s do a quick rundown on moderator questions:
On the three dots that Sarah has been chasing, Josh Friedman said all will be revealed.
Will we ever see Shirley and Summer fight? Well, besides in the green room, no. Besides, he thinks Shirley would kick Cameron’s ass anyway.
He was asked why have we not seen so much Cameron recently. Friedman said that he’s been focusing on Sarah for the last few episodes (yeah, we noticed). The challenge with Cameron, he added, is that there are alpha issues between the two. Obviously Sarah’s in charge, but Cameron is the kick butt machine. But never fear, the last six episodes will have a lot of Cameron in them.
On a machine trying to be a mother: Shirley finds she likes the challenge of the subtleties there. It’s a machine, but it’s trying to mimic motherhood, trying to make nice with the child.
After seeing her own scenes where she destroyed the warehouse in the desert, Shirley said she was thrilled to do it and after watching it, she felt that she was “scary bad ass.”
Friedman was asked if they will push forward to meet with the movie mythos. He said no.
He added that he likes moving his story along slowly. Moving things too fast makes it a soap opera of sorts. He wants to see his characters actually earn their developments, their changes. Though he does recognize that commercially speaking, that isn’t always the best approach. But when all is said and done, it is Terminator.
As far as whether he’s heard anything about a third season, he said there’s no news. Every time he goes on set, he sees the 250 people looking at him, wondering if they have a job next week.
There are six episodes left and there will be lots of action with many questions getting answered in these episodes. He said he was surprised at the number of reveals that they pulled off in the last six episodes. And he said we will be at last seeing Shirley and Summer in a scene together.
The fans started to ask questions at this point and here’s what came from that part of the session:
Shirley said that going to a TV series is surreal for her. She’s been making music since she was 15 and and she gets confused by lingo like “we’re gonna force you tonight,” and she left us with a confused, yet deadpan expression on that one. The audience found themselves eliciting a chuckle out of that one.
Summer explained that after a 12 hour day, it’s overtime. If you do that, and then they bring you back without a 12 hour break, it’s referred to as “forcing” you. Dang, I had a sense the audience was hoping for more than that.
As far as bringing any more Terminator mythos characters into the show, Friedman said no. He likes the cast family he has.
Friedman did toss out that he has a plan and is continuing with that story plan. This 2nd season finale encompasses 20 episodes of buildup and it does pay off. Yet he’s also opened more doors with more questions for a third season if they do get renewed. He added that he doesn’t want to end the show with all the questions answered and no new questions. He doesn’t want FOX to think he has no new questions. He doesn’t want them to think he’s done.
Someone asked a Firefly reference of Summer. In the outtakes of Firefly, they wanted to know why when the cast goofs their lines, they yell out Summer’s name! She said that during a scene prior to that, she was playing with a rubber ball and the toy distracted her while filming a scene and she missed her line. The director yelled SUMMER!! … and it sort of stuck.
As for whether there’s any more music in Shirley’s future, she replied “I hope so!” She wants to continue to make music the rest of her life. Of late though, she’s been pretty busy with the show so she hasn’t had the time right now.
Someone asked Friedman about Shirley’s character intro scene into the show and how they came about using Shirley’s music. Basically, Friedman didn’t want someone else to do her intro music and then feel stupid about it if he didn’t ask her… So he did, she said yes.
And no, there will be no effort to create any continuity ties to the new movie, Terminator: Salvation.
The last question came at Summer, asking her if she liked where Cameron was by the end of this season and Summer seemed confused. She wasn’t sure what to say and looked at Friedman, and then she sort of held her head and just said she is both happy and sad about the end of the season and where it finds Cameron.
I’ve have to say, everyone on the panel was rather engaging. Friedman seemed to speak from the heart, Manson was at ease on the panel and this is the first time I have ever seen Summer with emotion. All I’ve ever seen of her was playing her emotionless or crazy roles. This was a fun panel.

No they're not. Terminator: Salvation is based off the timeline of the third Terminator movie, not the timeline of the Sarah Connor Chronicles.
The sole fact that John Connor is married to Katherine Brewster in Terminator: Salvation but he shuts everyone out and only deals with Cameron in The Sarah Connor Chronicles should be the sole factor that says that the two are not in continuity.

Here's the footage that was shown at WonderCon this past weekend.
Fair warning though, it's a four minute clip with plenty of SPOILERS...

I saw that video today... Looks like we're in for one heck of a ride for these last few episodes! I really hope this show gets a third season, too, even if it's not on Fox.
BTW *spoilerz*
Judging from just that clip, it looks like John and Cameron are gonna have at least one close encounter. Possibly two.

Would also appear that one sequence is the one the producers were on about when they said "We have redressed an old location from the first film for the series"
If its not then i dont know which one they were on about!!

Wow, the man on the internets was right (almost)! That cat fight was brutal! 
Something I picked up is that Cameron seems to be developing some form of ethics that is interfering with her Terminator programming. I think her violent twitches when she was contemplating "what am I going to do with you?" over Riley was the manifestation of it. Her programming was trying to kill Riley, but her will was holding her back. She told John that "she doesn't make decisions," which implies that if she was in 100% machine-mode, she would have probably killed Riley right on the spot. Interesting...
Also, it's obvious that Jesse is going to try and frame Cameron for killing of Riley, but I wonder if

the end result of her shenanigans will be Cameron leaving the Connors at the end of the season. Summer Glau implied that she was "both excited and sad" about where Cameron ends up, which implies to me that she is not going to die, but something sad is going to happen to her. I think that the most logical thing would be for her to decide she needs some alone time away from the Connors to sort herself out, since she's a danger to them. Perhaps giving John the locket was in preparation of that? Or, even more interesting is the possibility that she'll be "hurt" by the accusations against her, and decide she's had enough? That would be pretty wild.
