Sarah Connor Chronicles Choices Scorecard

I’ve recently found myself rooting more and more for the terminators in this show because they appear to be the few who actually seem to know what they are doing. Still, it’s a very subjective call. I think it’s time to sit down and look at the significant choices that have been made by various characters and see who has situational mastery, and who needs to sit in a corner with a dunce cap.

My results, they will range from -1, which is bad, through +1 which is good.

Even with a quick look over incomplete data, it’s obvious that the terminators have a pretty darned good track record. The only one that is iffy is Cameron, and that is almost exclusively tied to accommodating her human assignments.
