I don't know how representative Savannah's classroom is of today's schools (or perhaps today's most pricey private schools), but I really liked the way that scene showed the children learning from computers, with the human teacher there as a facilitator. In some ways, the future is now.
I don't think it's all computers, all the time even at the fanciest of private schools, but, um, maybe they were in the computer lab rather htan the classroom? Okay, I've got nothing.
I loved the part where apparently Savannah can both read and type well enough to be having IM conversations with John Henry in class, and yet the teacher wants her doing Learn A Word (TM). Methinks she needs a more challenging classroom setting.
it's hard to say if she's telling the truth about Sarah's health or trying to drive a wedge between her and John, but Cameron is certainly lying when she tells Sarah that she's never just killed to kill, because what about the pigeons?Eh, that didn't really bother me. Maybe because in the later ep with the pigeon, she wasn't

Or possibly she needs John Henry. I just realized from your comment that John Henry was teaching her new words during their phone conversation. Neat!
She didn't intend to kill the pigeon for the sheer pleasure of killing, but as the fastest, simplest way to solve the problem of it being in the house. We've never seen her kill anybody/anything for fun, where the goal is simply killing for its own sakeIt didn't bother me that Cameron lied, but I do think that was a lie. (I actually think it's very interesting that she can lie; she learned it from that other girl when she was reliving life as Alison, and she's done it since; and in this episode, we see John Henry lying for the first time. It seems to be a fundamental part of AI development.) I don't think Sarah was talking about killing

On another related note, I don't know how I feel about Charlie Jade coming back from the future to kill Savannah, and possibly John Connor. It's weird!
I thought the same thing! He also played a bank robber/killer in The Nine so I was having flashbacks to that as well.
I'm really enjoying the relationship developing between John Henry and Savannah. I don't think John Henry understands human emotion yet so I can't say he loves Savannah, but he would feel her absence in his life if she were no longer in it. And now comprehending death, having experienced it himself, he wouldn't want everything Savannah is to be lost. Catherine might be trying to protect him, but Savannah has taught him far more than she has.

Yes, I think there was definitely a relationship between his realization of mortality and his fear for Savannah when he was trying to talk her out of the house safely. And I continue to think that because of that, he'll have some kind of gratitude to John Connor for saving her. I'm really interested to see where they go with that. *prays mightily for Season 3*
