I can't bring myself to watch 'The Sarah Connor Chronicles'. It's a tv show that's going to be nerfed in several aspects.
The production values are actually really good. That's unfortunately the reason why the show got canceled, it was too expensive.
I don't really want to get deeper into the lore other than: AI turned on humans and built killing machines and a time traveling machine. I don't need to watch some hot chick terminator develop feelings. That's maybe good for other sci-fi, but not for terminator.
The Sarah Connor Chronicles is kino, obviously not as good as T1 & T2 but it is far better than any other sequel, and ties in perfectly as a trilogy. Really comfy 2000s vibe
It's good, but I can totally understand why it can be hard to motivate yourself to watch a show that got suddenly cancelled after two seasons with a cliffhanger.
why does he have two metal dildos?
The recent Terminator FPS game is a decent coda to the first two movies. It doesn't really expand on the lore, but it's told from a different perspective and ties the glimpses we get of the future narrative together.
is it good?
I genuinely enjoyed Terminator 3 and thought the story was pretty good, added some cool ideas to the future lore
>cybernet technically starts itself by sending the TX back in the same time that Cybernet was turned on, we see the TX hacking into those primitive military robots to attack people. Makes the “judgement day is inevitable” idea pretty concrete when you think about it. Cybernet probably has terminators just hanging out in stand by mode in case Cybernet is prevented from being created so that they can force it
>John Connors wife was a good addition IMO. And it was interesting to me the idea that they would have initially gotten together if the time travel shenanigans didn’t happen at all, but ended up together anyway after the events of the movie. Cool idea that future John had died Kate sent the terminator who killed him back. I assumed future John would ironically not get killed now, since they established you CAN change events, even if some are inevitable.
>ending with John and Kate in the 60’s bunker and him having to become a leader just because he’s the only guy around who has any idea what to do. Even though his equipment is largely just radios to reassure people and guide them
Also I liked the TX design. Obviously it’s not as iconic or cool as the T1000. But they can’t just keep sending liquid terminators.
I thought the TX was a pretty cool idea. Built in high tech weapons and has a solid core. Can hack into machinery. liquid metal exterior to allow for shape shifting too. Made her look like a demonic banshee here. Cool scene when she got stuck to the supermagnet too
Cool how both her and the T1000 clearly showed emotions like rage or amusement. Seems like the more advanced a terminator is, the more it has the capacity to feel emotions. Makes sense. Arnold Terminators are set to read only, so they can only learn within accepted parameters to prevent them thinking too much beyond their mission.
We are not doing this. We're not retconning T3 into being a good movie. T2 is wishy washy as it is.
You realise you’re allowed to have your own opinions right?
I like terminator 3. It’s ok if you don’t. Nobody can take that away from you. I just liked it and explained what parts I liked
Talk to the hand.
Yeah, thats one of the bad parts. The cringe attempts at comedy. Much prefer the action and narrative
Once again. I like the movie. You don’t like the movie. It’s ok for people to like different things. Surprised nobody told you this before
It's ok for people to be morons too.
Yes. morons do tend to think in black and white and lack the ability to understand different perspectives.
I can see why you don’t like it. You can’t comprehend why someone might like it. Even after reading a whole post with details I liked.
You’re autistic I guess. It’s ok, just try to chill out about it.
Don't tell me to chill out. I've watched T3 5 times. Doesn't mean it doesn't suck and if you can't understand why it sucks maybe you should apply for a job at skynet.
I still wonder. Has there ever been an explanation for how they sent the T1000 and TX back in time?
They were very clear every time they can only send organic material back. Which is why the humans go naked, and don’t bring future weapons back that would be helpful.
The OG terminators succeed in travelling because they’re covered in living flesh.
But the T1000 and TX are not covered in flesh. They LOOK human but they don’t have skin, it’s just liquid metal camouflage. (Does this mean if you touch his skin or clothes it would feel like cold metal too? Or could it replicate texture somehow?)
Only thing I can think of is the machines sent them back in a weird skin cocoon. Then they came out once they arrived. We just don’t see it happen on screen because it would spoil the twist in terminator 2. And they probably forgot about it in terminator 3.
Shame because I think it would’ve been a creepy scene to show her arriving in some flesh cocoon. Someone finding it and freaking out when she emerges and kills them
they used a time machine
The time machine has rules stated in the first movie. Which is why Kyle Reese was sent back naked and unarmed.
If they could just send anything back then they’d send him back with a future laser weapon. The kind that actually kills terminators fairly quickly. And he wouldn’t be some unstoppable threat
>I didn't build the fricking thing! I've answered your questions! Who's in charge here! Where is Sarah! You just don't get it do you: "It'll walk right through you and rip her fricking heart out. That's literally all he does! That's all he does!
Which is what Sarah does in T2 in the mental asylum right? T2 is pretty much a beat for beat repeat of T1.
Did you reply to the wrong post? Not sure what relevance this has to
You wrote a long winded post about how Terminators were able to travel back through time. Kyle Reese answered this in the first one:
>I didn't build the fricking thing!
That's the official canon explanation.
Oh thanks for clarifying. I read the whole quote, not just the start. and was just confused because I didn’t see the relevance of
>Who's in charge here! Where is Sarah! You just don't get it do you: "It'll walk right through you and rip her fricking heart out. That's literally all he does! That's all he does!
And
>Which is what Sarah does in T2 in the mental asylum right? T2 is pretty much a beat for beat repeat of T1.
Kyle goes ballistic and gets watched through a television screen. Sarah goes ballistic in T2 (When Silberman tells her she can't have visiting rights) and gets watched through a television screen.
Kyle goes ballistic when he can't see Sarah. Sarah goes ballistic when she can't see John. T1 and T2 rhyme.
Meme alloy replicates the appearance of flesh so well the time machine can't tell the difference
Doesn’t matter how good it looks, it needs to be living flesh because of the specific bio electric field flesh generates being the only one that’s able to travel.
Meme alloy can mimic that too
Lol, I did not like T3 but appreciate this guy’s appreciation for it
Yeah you nailed it
Absolutely
>That Chronicles episode where a Terminator gets sent 100 years further back on accident so it becomes a business man that starts the company that builds the hotel its target will be staying at in 100 years and it becomes a huge symbol of progress because it pays the employees really well and hires minorities. Then, when the hotel is complete, it hides inside the wall of the room the target will be staying in and just waits for like 50 years and then pops out to kill him
Absolute fricking kino
If you read the Terminator comics, they get truly out there lmao
>The T-Infinity Prototype Temporal Terminator is created by Skynet. Its purpose is to make sure the timelines don't get out of balance. So far, it seems there is only one prototype created by Skynet and sent to "correct" the timeline.
What does this even mean. Looks cool though. But if they have something this powerful they should never lose
Lmao all Skynet does is make the timelines out of balance.
I always figured that the time travel creates parallel timelines, so Skynet still loses no matter what, but creating a new timeline where it can win is better than nothing.
Terminator 3 was good and a perfect ending to the trilogy.
Fight me.
The only good terminator movie is : 'The Terminator'. homosexuals like the third one because it had a dark ending. Bravo! Let's hand out participation trophies while we're at it.
>he doesn't like Terminator 2
You're talking about participation trophies while collecting one yourself for being a stuck up contrarian
I prefer T2 over T1 because I've grown up with it. And to go from T2 to T1 was a step back. But with aging you learn to appreciate the first one. The first one is Kino, the second one is summer blockbuster sillyness.
Yeah, that sounds about right. They're both good but clearly in different genres.
T3 and Salvation are good and only butthurt nostalgiagays think otherwise.
It's a matter of principle I guess. Salvation having people running around during daytime from robots immediately ruined the vibe of the first two ones for me. I get that they were going for something different, but it was shit too.
How hard is it? Have people starved living underground and they can only come out at night.
Sadly, in awaiting a decent sequel, our whole understanding of AI has changed and 'The Terminator' premise has become somewhat laughable. What 'The Terminator' does have though, is a new face to put on an archetype.
Our worst fears of technology are represented in the terminator face.
We are still apes with facial recognition software. Nobody's gonna be scared of little things they can't see. You need a face.
None of it is good
T2 is overrated but T1 and TSCC are good
