Dude,I think they're expecting sum humor like John Connor to say "Hasta La Vista baby" before he shoot the T-8000 head that stuck on the helicopter leg.

Yes and no. I agree the Terminator didnt really need to reinvent its general concepts and ideas but it still had to because of Arnie. Even some fans are saying a Terminator movie without Arnie isnt a T movie at all. People will always associate Arnie with Terminator, to a lot of people he is still the Terminator. Just like Bruce Willis is John McCain and Harrison Ford is Indiana. The Terminator franchise needed to reinvent itself as It needed a new action hero, or at least new direction that could revitalize itself from being an Arnie flick.

Agreed.

No "hasta la vista baby"
No "I'll be back"
No "Get down!"
No thumb sign

is not a terminator movie at all.But I still take it as a new Terminator movie.Heck Superman without Christopher Reeve like Superman Return can also survive be it Tom Welling or Brandon Rough as Superman.

Nope.First thing first John need to sent Kyle to the past to make love with Sarah or else he will be erase from existence.

Just a stupid question.In TS when T800(Arnie) suddenly appearred in front of John, I though instead of killing him isnt it supposed.....

same here. i pay my respect to the terminator franchise by watching T4, not T3. t3's full of jokes and humor and should not be seen in near times cause it made the terminator looked lame and dumb. T4? phew, one of the most dead serious film in 09' i can tell. although it utilize a bad edit and does not have characteristic background, but i still loved it and definitely will watch it for the 3rd time.

what's the most important thing? a good replacement for T3. that's all. majority of t-fans were pissed because of that hillarious film. it made arnold looked dumb, it made the tx look beauty and dumb at the same time.

Please dun say that.Without T3 there will be no T4.I agreed that T3 is the worst of all Terminator movies(including Arnold look dumb) but it still act as a continuations point for the next teminator movie.If they never make T3 so T4 movie will never out.Same as Kyle Reese need to go back in time probaly borrowing Dr Emmet Brown's Delorean(Back To the Future) to fcuk Sarah or John Connor will never exists.

But probaly they choose a wrong director or scriptwriter to direct T3 movie

Interesting, lets say there is no cycle. And in T1 is the first time John Connor(T1) sends Kyle Reese back to protect Sarah Connor. Sarah most probably make love with another man and eventually named her son John Connor(T1). So there goes the first John Connor, while after Kyle Reese was sent back the future changed. Kyle Reese make love to Sarah Connor instead of the original man, and there goes another John Connor(T2-T4) and also the changed on future.

Ok, what if the time traveling thing is a cycle ? All the time, John Connor was the son of Kyle Reese since all the previous attempts did not change the futuretimeline. Hence the loop keep cycling until T1 movie, which by chance altered the future and sparks T2-T4.

Just my 2cents theory to you lol. Either way, i just love Terminator cuz of Arnie!!! So i dun giv BBQ's Chicken wing to John Connor's father haha. tongue.gif

In the other hand, Sarah Connor must live until her son is born and that baby itself must survive until it grow up to become a man named John Connor.

Heck my friend often said that Skynet is so stupid because instead of bother killing the mother or John Connor himself, why they don't want to sent the terminators to kill John Connor's great great grand father in medieval era?Problem solved!

I got this theory just a while ago.If you remember T1,we saw that Kyle Reese and the terminator arrived at the same time and so with T2 and T3 which both terminators arrived at same time(only in diff. location).

So I am assumming that actually only the Skynet are the one which invented the time machine.The humans never did invented a time machine unless they stole it.But I doubt the time machine is as small size as a car like DeLorean that can be steal easily.But somehow John Connor got to know about the Skynet intention thus infiltrate the Skynet HQ one more time together with Kyle. During the timejump process, he quickly ordered Kyle to jump into the time hole(or time gate or whatsoever) along with the terminator that were assigned to murder Sarah.That is you see in T1, Arnold arrived very smoothly(in sitting position) but instead Kyle arrived falling from the sky.The same theory applied in T2 and T3.Probably in T2, Skynet actually want to sent 2 terminators but John managed to reprogrammed 1 of them, the old terminator because he's expert in hacking computer like he did in T2(ATM machine) and T4(the motorterminator).That's why in T2 both of them arrived like the same state as the terminator in T1.

Thanks Azbro.Really answered my question so much.So both side do have a time machine.

But that last pic,

How come both terminator arrived at a very close timing(the same month and same day but only a few minutes diff.) but the control panel shows only the year.Supposely they should arrived in random time differrences of a month or a week eventhough same year. rclxub.gif
