The whole Terminator series is one big paradox after another. That's why I gave up on it after the second one. For me, they changed the future. Judgement Day never happend. End of story. But that's just the way I see it.
That and I just couldn't bear to see the series go down the tubes the way that Alien did. Two Terminators were enough for me. Same with Alien. Should have stopped with the second one.
Also, this has gotten way off topic. LOL!

Jimbo, with the very basic understanding of temporal mechanics that I have it just seems illogical for there to be a 3rd Terminator. Especially considering how the 2nd ended. Miles was killed, and the chip was destroyed (all of them). I'm not looking at the philosophical or moral aspect of the story. I looking at it from a purely storytelling viewpoint. The overall arc of the story. Does that make any sense? If, according to the way the 2nd movie ended, they did change the future then how is it possible for another Terminator to travel back in time for the third time? They changed the future. They prevented the invention of Skynet that in turn invented the Terminators. So, given all of that, how then did they explain that the future wasn't changed? I understand that Skynet and John are connected, but there has to be a logical reason as to how (especially given all of the evidence to the contrary), that a third movie is possible. I'm just talking storyline here. It strikes me, knowing how most movies these days are so dumbed down, that the makers of this film would just throw the whole thing out the window and produce a thrid one just for the sake of producing it. Since the end of the story was supposed to be the 2nd film, how is the story carried on? I just want to hear what explanation they gave for how the a Terminator from a future that was prevented by the end of the 2nd film is able to show up again? If that future was prevented this Terminator shouldn't exist. See what I mean? This is what I want to know before I watch the third film. If the explanation isn't plausible, then I'm not going to bother with it.
Damn. I think I've given myself a headache.

As for T2. It doesn't matter which version you see, they still kill Miles, blow up Skynet and destroy all of the Terminator chips.

as far as I'm concerned the Terminator films are a group effort, without James Cameron , Linda Hamilton and Eddie Furlong they really shouldn't have bothered, especially given the lame way they killed off Sarah Connor (dying of cancer before the film) and the ridiculous female terminator.
the same recycled gags from the second film, Arnie just looked like he was along for the ride.And given the huge budget for the film it had a really cheap B-movie look to it.

Sorry to be a pain here but its actually CYBERDINE systems they blow up, not SKYNET. Skynet is a totally different thing altogether see my last post!

Don't want to come off as an asshole here. But we've got a bunch of new members joining up each day and we'll have more with this GQ article that Jay was interviewed for, so it would be a good idea for us to keep this thread on topic so people searching for information about Revenge of the Sith actually find it and not a Terminator discussion. Sound semi reasonable?
