"OK, I am new here so maybe there is a sticky for things we know to be facts, but since I don't see one I think we should start one. You don't have to post obvious stuff, but if you believe a fact in question to be true you should post it here and offer some evidence for support. I'll go first.

1) Riley is definitely from the future.
Evidence: She tells Jesse in the dress shop "There are a lot of mirrors in this world" and at the house she tell the family "You are all dead"

2) Future john is still around 16-17 years old.
Evidence: Derek was looking at the time machine room and John walks up behind him. He is still 17 years old, then Derek turns and sees him and wakes up to John's voice. Also, when he is coughing up blood he has his eyes closed and goes "Where's Kyle, where did you send him?". He then opens his eyes and looks right at young John and says "Where is he? You owe me the truth" like he is still talking to future John. Also, the fact that he is only seen by a handful of people in the future is probably because they would never follow him if they knew he was just a kid."

"Whether accidentally or deliberately the writers and actors play out scenes that can be interpreted two or more ways (kinda like history can be interpolated in many ways based on ones prejudices)."

"5. If I add Jesse wants Cameron nuetralized would anyone disagree?"

"I believe what sycore means when he says "fact" is something that can be backed up with specific details from an episode - not a straight assumption with no basis. He gives 2 reasons why he thinks Riley is from the future and frankly, both are valid. Those who don't agree, say so and back up your reasons with something from an episode to support your theory why. "Fact" may not be the correct word to use on the title of this thread, but I think we know what sycore means. Simply put, all theories must be backed up with evidence.

As for John being 16 years old in the future, I can't subscribe to that idea. Derek was in shock because of the gunshot wound. He was dreaming about a conversation with Future John, and as he woke up he was confronted by present John. I see no reason to read into it more than that.

Ladies and gents, by all means agree and disagree as you see fit but lets try to be courteous to each other. Dismissing someone's ideas is rude. If you don't agree, prove them wrong. "

"I think Derek's memories in "Dungeons & Dragons" support Jessie's claims that Cameron was influencing John. While Derek was dreaming, we never got to see John. He kept asking "take me to Connor" and "I want to speak to Connor" but they never did - until Cameron came to get him. Jessie's claims about how "he wasn't talking to anyone anymore - just her" fall right in line with what we saw in that episode, so I don't see the basis for refuting it with "Jessie's a liar." They're ALL liars:
