Well i agree with that they used the evil machine idea in that horrible movie stealth. However the terminator franchise should have stopped at 2. 3 and 4 were crap. And i consider not to be canon.

Sarah Connor Chronicles i consider a separate universe altogether. Though i did like them.

I thought can they make a lamer movie than 3. They did with 4, with batman as john connor.

A lot of the success of Terminator i place in the hands of the now dead Stan Winston.

Not that a Cameron directed 3 would not have been awful either, most likely worse than the 2 sequels we got. See that bad 3-D movie he made for that theme park.
