The Sarah Connor Chronicles Terminator Spin Off

[freedom78]

Because im a huge fan of the Terminator franchise, Ive been kinda fan-boy nit-picking this show. I do enjoy it, and I can even get past them ignoring T3, which I do like.  But small things about the show started bugging me, like getting the year in which T2 takes place wrong, or the age of Sarah.  But the big thing that I just realized they got wrong was the Terminator head going through time. How can they let that happen?  Only living tissue can go through. Thats a pretty big mistake.

Umm...if only living tissue can go through, then how did any Terminators ever come back in any of the films?

The Arnold version was surrounded by living tissue.  And the T-1000 and the TX replicated human tissue. the Show has a robotic head going through. Big difference.

that is a fundamental part of the Terminator story.  if you can send back metal, the machines would just send all of their advanced weapons back into time to wipe out Connor.

i remember reading a terminator story, might have been a comic book or something where a Terminator travels back in time with a human captive.  they show up decades in the past and the terminator punches the guy in the stomach and rips out a laser gun. SIIICKKK.

My point exactly because they weren't completely living tissue. They had metal endoskeleton and the t-1000 was liquid metal.

The rule is that it has to be "surrounded" by living tissue. The T-1000 and the TX must have replicated tissue enough to get through.  But having that head go through was blatently breaking a rule that was established. Its not like the showmakers were unaware of the rule, seeing as Sarah, John, and Cam were all naked when they came through.

[freedom78]

Wait...when did the head go through?  I thought it was just found at a construction site.

[crow316]

Just before they leaped through time, Sarah shoots the terminator. The opening shot of episode 2 shows the head, sans flesh, fly through the time vortex thing.  It was picked up by a man cleaning the side of the freeway.  The only way this can work is to say that the gun that Sarah fires desintagrates flesh, and that there was still flesh on the head when it went through time. But thats clearly not what was shown.

Thats true about the living tissue thing. I didn't pick up on that but i always wondered how they made that claim. I mean yes the terminator is living tissue on the outside but inside its not. So you gotta wonder how any of the terminators were able to go through time when they are only partially alive, and remember the t-1000 was liquid metal thats not living tissue.

THANK GOD!

i thought i was the only nerd thinking that, Thank you.

i noticed that when that one black dude the detective went into the mexican guys house the dogs didn't bark at him. And in the first episode that aired didn't it show him looking into the computer screen and a red glow come from his eyes? if so then he's also a Terminator there for the dogs should have barked as soon as the detective went into the house *snort snort * pushes glasses upward**

Guess I missed that.  I assumed it was pieces of another terminator, and that those pieces were the reason why all the bad shit still goes down, with Judgment Day, and all that.

See thats what i thought too at first then you see the eyes light up. So that told me it was alive still.

Glad to know I didn't make too much of a leap.  It makes sense, really.  Skynet still happens.  They know when.  The jump through time to near when it will happen.  The first thing you see is some dude finding a terminator skull. 

I can see why that made sense.

[tim_m]

The thing i'm still wondering about that is if  the terminator who comes for its skull is the same one that tried to kill john in the pilot episode.

Just like any other technology.  More capabilities, smaller size.  I hope there's terminator schnauzer eventually.

that could probably explain the "Unknown Cyborg"?
