Quote:Originally posted by Calhoun: At the start of each episode Sarah gives the spiel and I take issue with the part that says "Skynet - A computer system designed to destroy the world. It has sent machines back through time. Some to kill him, one to protect him." Didn't future John take over the time machine facility and send his own terminator back to protect him. Why would Skynet send robots back to kill him but then send one back to protect him? kinda defeats the purpose.. I think its probably just a problem with the wording though i'm surprised it didnt get picked up on.

When that mission failed, they sent another Terminator, to strike at John when he's still a child (T1 + T2). Never, at any time, did Skynet itself send "Some to kill him, one to protect him." That's just utter bull.

That's just utter bull. They? Who is they? I thought that Skynet sent the terminators back to kill Sarah in order to eliminate John who was a proverbial thorn in its butt? Then the resistance took the time facility and sent back its own operative(Reese) to protect Sarah and then later the resistance sent back a modified T800 to protect John from another terminator Skynet sent to kill John. Am I wrong in my recollection/Interpretation of events?

Quote:From Jong: We really do not know at this point if this is just a callous error, or if there is some yet-to-be-seen storyline which might make the statement accurate. I personally think there is more to Summer's Cameron than we know about so far.
Quote:From Snark: I have a pet theory that she's actually from even further ahead in time than the T-888s we've seen. Maybe from a truly post-human world (after the resistance is wiped out.
Quote:From Zeek The writing for that show is abysmal at times. There are so many lines like this where if you turn your brain on they just don't make any sense.
Quote:From Early: People get so tied up with the timeline they forget it is the most important plot device. Once you introduce Time Travel, all story lines are out the window because you can continually change them without consequence.

Quote:Originally posted by KayleeBird: It's really weird, this show. It falls into Paradoxs'. SkyNet was created, and it got up to the point were SkyNet made the decision to send a Terminator to kill Sarah Connor. So John Connor sent back Reese, who was infact his father to protect his mother, who then had John... It's a paradox. HOW did John get there in the first place when Reese, who was John's biological father get to the period of time where Sarah was, and impregnate her so there was John Connor. How did it get to John Connor when John Connor ordered his own father to go back in time? Reese would have had to have been there BEFORE, to impregnate her, but then, we would have seen Reese in the movie. Now, it's really strange. But otherwise, it's okay. Go Summer!

Everything you are asking is explained in the first movie. Kyle Reece was in the movie, having been sent back in time by John Connor. John Connor had given Reece a picture of his mom Sarah previously, and that helped motivate Kyle to agree to go back in time...he wanted to meet her, meet the Legend. Reece explained that SKy net was almost defeated...the resistance had won and "smashed its' grid"..then Connor found the time travel equipment & learned Skynet ( in it's last desperate attempt to survive) had sent a Terminator back to kill Sarah...only later did John Connor & his wife Kate (nee Brewster) learn that Skynet had sent other Terminators back to different points on the past...to stop Sarah, John, General Brewster, and Connor's lieutenants of the future. So they followed suit, and sent protectors back to each point in time that Skynet had. I don't see any paradoxes that are too problematic for the 3 Terminator movies....this TV show has added many new elements and timeline changes, but overall its' still within the framework of everything as it was laid out in T-1.

You don't see the paradox of a child sending his father back through time to creat him? If the child wasn't there to send him back then how was he ever born in the first place? If he wasn't born the first time around then who sent his father back in time the first go round? The way I like to think it through is that the John we know is not the real John Conner. That the real John Conner had a totally different father and once Kyle went back through time he destroyed that timeline. The John he fathered is not the same person. Sarah gave him the name John because that's what Kyle said her son was named. Therefore we're no in uncharted territory and the new John may or may not live up to the legend of the first John.
