Although the existence of T3 didn't make much sense, this ending makes less sense, I think. For example, wtf happened to Kyle Reese? I mean, John Connor was born because Reese was sent back through time. No sending back time, no John Connor, time paradox and so on. Well, you could argue that this is a parallel universe, but I think parallel universe theory is just a cheap way out, since you can pretty much change any settings and just say it's in a different world

@jjkk11999933222233

Exactly!

The entire premise of T1 was the future must be set because our future is Kyle Reese's past. -Also meaning Kyle Reese's future, after using the time machine, was also set. That was contradicted in T2 with "The future is not set. There's no fate, but what we make for ourselves."

@jublywubly Yea, agreed. I think out of T1, T2 and T3, (except Terminator Salvation which was a disaster and was such a different movie compared to the first three) T2 is actually the outcast in theme-wise. T1 and T3 both go with the theme of "past and future are all connected. There is no changing the destiny." This can be seen as Kyle Reese telling Sarah Connor that she is destined to give birth to John Connor and the existence of John Connor himself is the combination of past and future= fate

You'd probably like the official novels too. There's three different groups of them. One group is set after T2, another is set after T3 and is much like the Sarah Connor Chronicles. The third lot are based around T4 and are set in the future. :-)

There's around ten books, so far, and I've got 'em all! :-p

Dmdstudent he was fifty when he died

They got the Michael Jackson part wrong....

@DumplinSawce - he did mention the resistance sending the t800 to kill dyson, not skynet.

[DriBears]

@Anthonyve2 - if they sent the terminator to kill dyson, instead... the t1000 would have successfully terminated john connor, and would proceed to kill anyone else associated with the resistance.

@Anthonyve2 - first off, it wasn't lava... it was molten steel. secondly, the chip they threw was from the terminator from the first film... a completely different terminator, completely different chip. thirdly, the resistance sent the terminator to protect john, no john, no resistance... as disclosed in T3, the death of dyson only postponed the war... they no doubt took this into account. there would be a war regardless if dyson lived or not, so protecting john was in their best interest

lol michael jackson turned 40... what did they think? that he was going to die before that?

[mangobomber360kick]

No l. Just no. Okay. Good.

@jublywubly Because T-1's future was a alternate reality. When Kyle Reese says "we smashed defense grid. We won" the terminator was a last ditch effort to prevent Skynet's demise. Once they stopped it again in T-2, that changed the future.  Destroying Skynet before it ever gets started.

[DumplinSawce]

@Anthonyve2 dyson was originally going to create skynet. Would you send a machine back in time to kill the guy that was going to create you?

@jjkk11999933222233 Also why is she not in prison? She just blew up an entire corporation and injured hundreds of police officers in a gun fight. Apart from that I like it. The world really is full of ungrateful people wasting their lives.
