History Characters / TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles

* StealthPun: In "Adam Raised a Cain," Savannah teaches John Henry to sing the old Scottish comedy song, "Donald, Where's Your Trousers?" Meanwhile, our heroes get caught with their pants down.

* WhamLine: Gets one in the finale.

* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: She demonstrates in the first episode that she can eat food, something no other Terminator before could do. She has stated that she can feel physical sensations. She also displays the ability to cry and show emotions, most notably in her "Allison" persona, and she has showed glimpses of genuine personality at times.

%%%%* PutDownYourGunAndStepAway:

* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler: From Skynet's perspective, at least. The genocidal supercomputer didn't mass produce the T-1000 series terminators because he was afraid they would develop a personality that was opposed to his, and only sent back the original T-1000 as a last ditch effort to kill John Connor. Catherine Weaver demonstrates that he was correct with this assessment.]]

* ComicRelief: Gets most of the funny lines in the first half of Season 2.

* WackyCravings: She's pregnant, after all.

* PluckyComicRelief: On occasion.

* GagBoobs: Downplayed but as a result of pregnancy, Kacy is quite well-endowed. She first describes herself as "an Orca with boobs," then wonders if she can keep them if she breastfeeds for a few years.

* UncannyValley: Initially has some troubles with natural mannerisms.

* MsFanservice: She's [[HeadTurningBeauty a looker]] and spends several scenes in skimpy clothes, such as swimsuits, [[ModestyBedsheet sheets]], [[ModestyTowel towels]], bikinis. The [[MaleGaze camera]] also has a tendency to focus on [[ShesGotLegs her legs]] or cleavage.

* TookALevelInBadass: Season Two was all about this, but it came with knowing what terrifying sacrifices were made for him and by him. Also, as noted by WordOfGod, the end of the season 2 premiere is the first time we see John with a gun, when he [[spoiler: hands it to Cameron to test her loyalty, after her chip malfunctions]]. Throughout T2 and the first season of TSCC, it was important that John knew about guns but did not use them. After he [[spoiler: killed Sarkissian]] in the S1 finale, the show creators did away with this, because John lost some of his innocence.

A Termimator sent back in time to create a traffic surveillance system Skynet hopes to use in the future.

* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:Jesse's plan for her was to be caught and killed by Cameron, and thus make John lose trust in Cameron. Upon learning this, Riley furiously confronts Jesse about it and ends up being killed by her and trying to frame Cameron for it.]]

John Connor's other friend at school. Asked Cameron to the prom. Not seen since the first season. (Actually, we see him parking cars in the second season).

* AmbiguouslyEvil: She looks like the BigBad of the second season and has no qualms about killing anyone she needs to, [[spoiler: but she's trying to ''destroy'' Skynet rather than create it]].

* KillAndReplace: [[spoiler: May or may not be, since it's unclear if the real Catherine Weaver is actually killed in a helicopter crash (that killed her husband) or killed by this T-1001 who assumed her identity.]]

* LightIsNotGood: She wears a lot of white. {{Downplayed|trope}} because she's technically an AntiHero, [[spoiler:as it is implied that she did consider allying with the resistance to take down Skynet, but turned down the offer in part due to Jesse, and that Project Babylon was also implied to be a means to counteract Skynet.]]

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: She had killed everyone involved with Project Babylon and was planning to kill Ellison.

* CreepyChild: Savannah's delivery is pretty innocent, but while she explains John Henry as the man in her basement at her Mommy's work, John looks ''terrified.''

* AIIsACrapshoot: ''Averted''. Weaver specifically enlisted Ellision to teach John Henry morality and ethics so he develops properly.

* HollywoodNerd: Wears glasses, is a skilled computer programmer, and plays Bionicle and Dungeons and Dragons.

* AdultFear: Trevor needs some "daddy time" after [[spoiler: he finds Riley's body]].

%%* BaldOfAwesome

* {{Deconstruction}}: "Self-Made Man" deconstructed Cameron as a character, showing her capable of interacting with other humans and even making a friend, Eric, at the library. However, she does this with the single-minded goal of improving her ability to fit in with human beings and in fact accidentally damages her friendship with Eric by informing him that his cancer, thought to be in remission, has returned.

* LadyOfWar: Has an absolute calm, feminine grace, and physical ability. Though in her case, much of it is due to the fact that she is also a [[RobotGirl very scary robot]].

* NoSocialSkills: To the point John's first advice when arriving at a new school is "try not acting weird". It doesn't work, of course.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: In "The Demon Hand" to the Russians, after getting what she needed from them. Note in this case she doesn't actually kill them, but simply ignores them once she has what she needs, allowing them to be killed because their survival was then irrelevant to her overall mission.

* MadeOfIron: More so than even the old T-800's, as Cromartie survives being decapitated with a plasma weapon in the pilot episode. Ultimately it takes multiple headshots from a shotgun loaded with depleted uranium slugs to finally put him down, and even that only worked because he was momentarily distracted after being lured into a killzone and riddled with automatic weapons fire.

* OneManArmy: After his fake identity as an FBI agent is blown by Agent Ellison, Cromartie completely wipes out the entire SWAT team sent in to capture him, all to the tune of Johnny Cash's "The Man Comes Around".
