A few episodes ago, the T-888 simply knocked a prison cell door against the back wall when looking for Derek.

As usual, there were a few highlights, but not enough to override the overall mediocrity. That was the smallest 12cm diameter circle I've ever seen.

Unfortunately, they blew the date, and changed the motivation. The dates for T2 and T3 don't quite add up, but it's very clear that in T2 Judgment Day is August 29, 1997. Arnold says that's when Skynet became self-aware. It's even the code to activate the easter eggs on the DVDs. But here...

As I said up-thread, that's certainly plausible, but to me, it cheapens the preceding story. It says that with time travel, you can never really win -- and that might even be "true", but then why should I get involved with the story. If Sarah Connor hadn't died in T3 -- and of course now she...

This is a pretty minor fudge for T2. Instead of sending back one each, there were two. Reese wouldn't necessarily know (maybe it's better if he doesn't). The 101 models, the ones that look like Arnold, are common; Terminators are common. There was only one of the advanced prototype T-1000. So...

Ah, right. But still, hardly the most interesting parts.

Really? Is it the ray guns? In T2, there's just the prologue, right? And in T1, it's just that scene with the photo that they tied into the episode here.

Yes, that sounds like a spoiler :) (if it turns out to be true). And a lame one.

Just as Alien3 cheapened what happened in Aliens, T3 and this series cheapened what happened in T2. They were "valid" story-telling choices, particularly where time travel is concerned, but the fact that they just weren't and aren't that good reinforces the feeling that they're just trying to...

The Iron Man thread over in Movies still says it's coming out in 2005 :)

You could say that about any attempts to "save" the future -- but there's not necessarily any way to know whether they work or not, depending on which theory of time travel is at play here. It's "plausible" that you can change the future you're in, even though it would make your past impossible...

Wouldn't the eyes have to be alive to work? Maybe they're good for a limited time. Plus, any such interface would probably be in the head, which would also have the CPU required to actually make heads or tails of what it is seeing.

Yeah, that's just stupid :) You might be able to fanwank walking around with proximity sensors and such, but anything that actually involves seeing... no.

No, they clearly showed it going flying out of the time bubble when it appeared.

The head was already missing chunks of flesh when he was banging on the vault door, due to all the mayhem previously. When Sarah shot it with the "not really nuclear" gun, it kinda looked like it vaporized all the remaining flesh and blew the skeleton apart; although that part was all bright and...

Not happy to see the head make it through the time travel, in violation of the rules. If they're willing to do that two seconds into the first episode after the pilot, they'll just be making up all kinds of stuff around episode 15. Why not just have unicorns and Ewoks? No, two completely...

Terminator-of-the-week had a hideout with a computer. He could have certainly gotten a gun when he got here through any number of means. He also can't hit the broad side of a barn.
